Bowl On Plate - Wood Turning

[@ronnielloyd4514]

No matter what you start, a good looking piece comes out of it. Signing off.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, thanks, Ronnie! 😊

[@Aaah-Mazn-Creations]

This vintage video is still as amazing as when you first turned the bowl and plate. It was so good that i had to watch it for the third time, and I am still amazed at your talent. Some day when I grow up I am going to attempt to turn one like it.🙌 KEEP ON TURNING

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

[@hollyhutson7265]

The natural edge is what makes it special and standout. It not just some bowl on a plate 😊😊😊😊😊

[@lyndaowen2154]

I am going to try this -- looks great -- it is odd watching your old videos --you have always been good at your craft but time has definitely increased your confidants -- I am glad it has made you a good teacher --

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Lynda! This piece will be a challenge but I think it's worth the effort. 😊

[@philgallagher1]

Just noticed I commented on this one TWO YEARS ago! Forgive me for putting a new comment in, but it does prove that there are always new things to see whenever you revisit a video of yours. I find they are so dense with information that you can't take it all in at first! (That's my excuse for forgetting, and I'm sticking to it!)

[@aburleigh1]

Love it, I learned so much today by watching close up of you cutting away that “puzzle bowl and plate”

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yay, good to know, thanks! 😊

[@jean-luclefevre9099]

Bonsoir Phil ! C'est une magnifique réalisation, que d'émotions en regardant cette vidéo avec des débuts de "plantage" qui font peur ... Nous étions tenus en haleine jusqu'au bout ! Cette réalisation donne envie de mettre des fruits dans le bol et ensuite les noyaux dans l'assiette. C'est une oeuvre qui donne des idées ! Congratulation Phil ! Prenez soin de vous !

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopI’m having a great time watching many of your older videos and reading the comments including this one. Did you ever turn another one like this? If so, I would love to see that one too! 👌👍💕

[@BobbieJeanM]

I don’t think I can just jam it in there, then does exactly that! And it’s working even though you don’t feel comfortable. Seems like there might be a parable in there somewhere. 😉

@@BobbieJeanM No I haven't, BobbieJean. I've run into the same issue on a couple pieces, one was a vase, but I haven't set out to duplicate this one. I should, I think it's kinda cool. 😊

I can't stop watching your videos. I do like live edge but you've begun to open my mind and eyes to what you create. I love the junk wood pieces too. You've only got a year on me and now I want to set up a woodwork shop. I started looking at lathes too.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I was 69 when I bought this lathe, probably my last. I wondered at the time if I was too old. I wasn't and I'm not! Go for it, Jessi!

[@patriciaglove8201]

You did great! This bowl is awesome. You do such wonderful work.All I know you from is these videos but I'm so proud of you and what you can do,I have to show my family when you do something amazing from an impossible chunk of wood.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I really appreciate that, Patricia. Thank you! 😊

[@williampeak8851]

Great job Phil 👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, William!

[@BobbieJeanM]

If you want something that looks more fancy, then a finished edge on the bowl would be better. But because of the spalting and worm holes, I don’t think that style would be appropriate for this wood. I love the way it turned out, the grain, spalting and worm holes give it a lot of character and natural beauty imo. I might put different types of pine cones or dried flowers in the bowl and use it as a centerpiece on the dining room table. Obviously I’m not a fancy pat all! 💕👌👍😊💕

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

"Not fancy" Love that, BobbieJean! 😊

[@donscottvansandt4139]

Very nice Phil... it's very interesting to see how your technique has changed a little over the years... I love watching you create your art ! Your very talented and have a great imagination...

You worked through many challenges with this plate/bowl. What about a diamond tip for the boundary crease? Bravo!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Yes! Thank you! I have new tools, now, that will help with the next one. 😊

[@piratetaylor29]

Oh Phil it's absolutely elegant. I see almost smell the fresh, hot muffins coming out of the and into the bowl. Lined with a simple tea towel to wrap over them so the look of the bowl is a vision to behold. Nothing simple about this piece, your heart and passion for wood turning is evident. Stunning.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks so much, Jessi! 😊

[@Skyrunner_84]

When you said you looked at the plates you use, the scene played out in my head something like this: You and your wife eating dinner and she notices you are intently looking at your plate. She says "Honey what are you doing." You reply curtly, "research". Great bowl! I love your work. It is very inspirational.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, quite an imagination you've got there! Thank you!

I know I'm late to this party, Phil, but I'm gradually working through your back catalogue! (I should be up-to-date by about 2025!!) I'm not commenting on all of 'em, but I love this one! The work you put into it is incredible, and it looked as if it was fighting you every step of the way! It certainly came out good in the end though, and was worth the effort! While you keep 'em coming, I'll keep on watching 'em!

Thank you very much, Kirk! Phil

[@peterstenabaugh3041]

Phil, if you have one, I would have used a carbide 35 degree diamond cutter to get into the bottom of the bowl to make an undercut, then as you withdraw, do a bit of a scrap on the bowl bottom to round off the edge. The carbide inserts that I use are not flat, they are designed for cutting aluminum so they have a very positive and very sharp chip breaker. With that style they actually cut the wood as opposed to scraping it like most flat carbide inserts. The insert is typically labelled as a VCGT-160404-AK. The last 2 numbers dictate the tip radius, in this case .04mm which is very pointed. I think these should be a direct change out for the Easy Wood diamond inserts. Amazon has lots of inserts like this but shop around as you shouldn't have to pay more than about $35 or so for a pack of 10.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I have different tools now that make this job easier, Peter but, still not easy. The bar has to be thick enough to not vibrate at the long extension but if it is, the cutter is too big. I have the 3/8" bar detailer and the 1/2" bar detailer. One vibrates, the other is too big. But, I can get it done just as I did here, just not quite to my satisfaction.

[@andymiars4577]

Thank you very much, Freedomsailer! Your comment makes me smile! Phil

[@stevenparaons9347]

This was a lot like the bowl and plate that I just did. I had some of the same cutting problem. Mine was a block of oak pallet slats & a sanding nightmare. I wanted to turn a square bowl. Ended up being a square 7 in. plate with round bowl. 3 in. high. Great job on yours. I makes me feel better when I know I'm not the only one that has to brainstorm a turning.

I wonder if a small negative-rake carbide detailer would've made that transition point between the bottom of the bowl and the plate a little bit easier. Might be worth a try sometime, Phil. Still, this project turned out nicely.

I do have other smaller tools that would make this job easier, now.

I hope you do one, Ray. When I turned this, there were none on KZbin that I could find, at least called by this name. I'd like to do another one. I bought a couple of tools that I think will get into that transition a little easier. Good luck and thank you for watching!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

@@harrolin Yes, Ciaran, I often spend a couple hours sanding. It just depends on the complexity of a piece. I recently spent five hours sanding and preparing a piece for finish. What I learned early on is, if a piece looks beautiful, people want to pick it up and touch it. If it doesn't feel as good as it looks, all of a sudden it doesn't look so good anymore. 😊

[@alanbarbour5185]

Lovely new addition to your repertoire and something I have never seen before. Your patience in trying to get that separation between bowl and plate had me sweating for a while. Could you have maybe tried your skew chisel or the double bladed one you use to cut both tenon and mortise angles? How you managed to edge your tools in without that nasty snatch Eeeeek!!, defies me. You are a true master.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Alan! I'm not competent enough with the skew. Just the thought of it scares me to death! LOL! The diamond point tool is very light weight and likely would have bent under the pressure extended that far over the tool rest. I just did the best I could with what was available to me. 😊

[@perrys5954]

Nothing like a brand new shape to force your skills to grow hey Phil! :) Nicely done buddy! I haven't checked comments so apologies if this has been suggested a lot already... That point where the bowl meets the plate looked like a perfect opportunity to use a 'Detail Carbide Scraper" (the one with a very sharp/narrow diamond shape) I suspect it would have allowed you to get that channel nice and deep, then just shear scrape smooth or sanding or something. But yay my bet would have been on the detail scraper for that task :)

I agree, the detail scraper would have been a good choice here! I have one, now but this video is probably at least five years old and I didn't have one, then. 😄

Watching this for the first time. Wondering if delineating the two components with a parting tool might have made this go a little smoother? Loving the idea.

[@lewisgreenway5065]

Agree with your comment full bowl not natural edge would have looked better, I have a feeling you won't rush to do another, unless there is a tool to get into tight places you could get hold of, the plate part looks good so well done for struggling through.

[@geofo60]

That’s a neat project Phil, gave you a bit of a work out but you got there. No criticism from me, we all have our own way of turning & as long as safety comes first, better to get to the end in one piece. The old saying, ask ten turners how to do something & you’ll get eleven answers. Regards from the UK Geof

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha... So true, Geof! Thank you very much for your great comment and encouragement!

[@woodturnerky8556]

What a cool idea Phil! Beautiful shape and figure! The proportions between the bowl and plate and their respective wall thicknesses were right on the money. I have to say that I actually like the natural edge to the bowl in this piece. You were thinking otherwise, but I look at it and it's all the more "sculpted" this way. Adds a lot of movement to me. It sure looked like a scary turn! There was really no easy way going about it. I once turned a small candle holder from a 5" branch (mounted cross grain) that I wanted to basically be a little cup on a little Slab. I had same problems with getting the tool in there and it was scary the whole way through. Your turning was much larger and deeper area to cut. I can't imagine what you were feeling putting your gouge down in between the pate and bowl. That was exciting to watch! Lol I always enjoy your projects and turning/video style Phil, please keep them coming! Kyler

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Kyler. It takes a turner to know what this was like and you nailed it. Still, I'm going to try again, another time. Someone suggested the Easy Wood Detailer to get in there and I think that may be just the tool. Besides, always looking for a reason to buy a new tool! Now I have to go see if you have posted a new project. I'm sure you have so I'm gonna put my feet up and see what Ky has been up to!

[@woodturnerky8556]

madronawoodworks That makes perfect sense with the EWT detailer. That narrow sharp cutter would get in there nicely. And I think you definitely should pursue this idea further, it's a really neat idea! You're making great use of all the wood Valerie gave you my friend.

[@marklewis5984]

Well you got there in the end. Found myself shouting"just because it's a bowl does not mean use have to use a chisel that says bowl". I think I would have tried a skew or something pointed to get into the separation of plate and bowl. Whenever I reach one of those points where I get frustrated with the situation it gives me the opportunity to go outside the box and try to do it differently.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Truly a case of you had to be there, Mark. I could not find a tool that offered the angle I wanted. However, I do have one now and may turn another one of these. But, like you say, I got there in the end. Thank you for your comment! Phil

Howdy, Phil! I think this is my favourite up to now. It's surprising how much I got drawn into the video. I found myself almost mesmerized to the point where each time your gouge slipped as you were going further into the undercut I was flinching and ducking out of the way in case the plate broke off or shattered and came flying out of the screen at me!! I guess that tells you how much I was "into" the process! Thank you Phil! It almost felt like I was there with you!

Wow, what a wonderful comment, Phil! It's good to know that when watching my videos my viewers can get their exercise at the same time! LOL! I wish you could have been here with me, that would be great! Phil

Great job mate👍👍👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Mark!

[@ellisbloomfield1467]

I like it. What kind of pen do you use for marking?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Ultra Fine Point Sharpie with paste wax applied over the signature, Ellis. 😊

Phil, just remember Anchor, Bevel, Cut. - ABC. Your gouge is more controllable with Bevel support. Plus a solid bite on the tennon in a chuck will help, so reverse it SOONER! Stay safe

Thank you, Paul, for watching and commenting, much appreciated! Phil

Well that does it! I'll never become an accomplished wood turner. I don't drink coffee. I think I had my last cup about 40 years ago. Would A&W root beer work in there? No, I guess not. To define the line between plate and bowl, why wouldn't the skew have done a good job, leaving a very fine sharp line between the two? Perspiring minds want to know. Keep turning.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Believe me, when I make a cut like this needed to be, I think of every possible tool I could use. I imagine the cut as it's happening. There is no way I would stick a skew chisel in that juncture. This had everything to do with the reach over the tool rest. But, I now have a couple tools that would likely make this an easy job, should I ever try another one. 😊

Phil, once you have it in the chuck and begin your plan mapping do you ever draw your pencil lines like to ID the plate top to avoid going to low/thin on the plate lip turning? New Englanders' just trying to see what you see as you turn. 🧓🍁

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I wouldn't say never, Jessi but, maybe once. I prefer to just fly by the seat of my pants. Planning isn't my forte'. It's just a matter of stop often and look at what you have.

Hi Phil, now that was a difficult turn. I think all the youtube viewers were holding their breath throughout that undercut. You said you were unsure about the natural edge and that made me think of an alternative use for the piece. instead of a bowl on a plate turn it upside down and it’s a mortarboard for a college student ..... just a thought ;o) David

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Don't think I haven't already put it on my head, David! Doesn't fit to bad, either, as long as I don't move. LOL!

[@lizchelgren1270]

I made a cedar "clay" flower pot and saucer. I used my parting tool to make most of the separation cut, then used my skews. Unconventional I know but it worked. JC

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That's terrific, Liz! 😊

[@NolanTyrrell]

I use an old putty knife and an old short hard point saw blade with the teeth ground off and resharpened as parting tools. They work quite well both as parting tools and as detailing tools. I don't bother putting new handles on them. Many 'other trades' tools can be repurposed for woodturning.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Nolan, good advice!

[@ceciljanise2318]

Think it would helpful if you mention what angle grind is on your gouges.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

60° on the bowl gouge, Cecil.

[@piratetaylor29]

How would it look if you used the beading tool to create the plates edge?

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I guess we'll never know, Jessi. 😊
