With the wood being walnut, your sense of humor, & the drama of you sanding/buffing in & around the legs, this is my favorite episode. Its definitely one of my favorite of your pieces. Wondering if Howard wax has a distinct orange scent? A woodworking shop has a nostalgic smell for me. I'm thinking that wax may be part of it...? Great job Phil....🤘

If you want to create an exact bead in the vertical orientation grind the bead profile in a scraping tool, flap wheel, or grinding stone, or rocking a flapping wheel and eyeball it.

I do walnut and use the same finish. I sand to 2000 grit. The rule on the finish is, once a week for a month, then once a month for a year, then once a year. Awesome job! It is great to see some cutting the wood instead of scraping only! Congratulation sir.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@DaveSquibbSr I wish you the best of luck, Dave! The challenge is to set it on a surface that allows you to get your legs under it while still not being too high to use. I watched a video of a setup like that some years ago. The guy seemed to make it work pretty well.

[@kentmcneill]

I realize that this is an older video, Phil and I guess the non-linear chronology of KZbin allows us to get to know you however we like, but I agree with other commentors that this is my favourite video so far. You show us the learning process, the trepidation, the angst that we all endure/dread every time we head to the lathe. Love your work and your attitude. Keep it up, sir!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Lot of angst in this one, Kent. LOL! But, at the same time, it was fun and I'd like to do another. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you so much for letting me know! 😊

[@russgoodspeed9594]

Phil, just finished watching your turning of the sumac piece with the hole in the side made by the branch. If I was to want to sand in there I would use something like your sandoflex. I have used just a length of bolt with a slot cut in one end. I would then cut a strip of sandpaper and slip it into the slit and it makes a butterfly that will fit into small spaces.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Sounds like a great solution but I don't recall the problem, Russ. I've got quite a few videos now and just don't remember which one that is. 😊
