Mistakes NOT To Make While Turning A Classic Vase! - Wood Turning

A very simple, classic design vase for displaying dried or imitation flowers. I made a few mistakes with this piece but it all worked out in the end. I'm looking forward to getting back to the natural type turnings I like to do, just not quite strong enough, yet, but I'm getting there! LOL!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool, thank you! 😊

Better to learn from your mistakes than our own Phil. It turned out pretty nice in the end.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Haha, I make the mistakes so you don't have to, Veg! LOL

[@gregdagg9305]

Nice to see a project with so few knots, roots & gravel.. Beauty..

hey Phil, a wonderful little gift for a beloved woman. Very nice work, I like it very much. I'll turn one for my wife too

[@thomasarussellsr]

Ha ha, from the angle where both bark spots show, with the flowers in it, it looked like a frowning alien with a flower hat on. 😂🤣😂🤣😉 I love it!😍😎 All ready for the Kentucky Derby!🏇🏇🏇🏇

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

LOL!

[@marktorterotot1216]

Another great job on a classic shape. Thanks Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks, Mark! 😊

[@deanbrady3522]

American Chestnut is a rare piece to turn. The young trees only live for about 25 years before the blight kills them. Only the root systems of the old trees are still living. It would be an honor to have a piece of one of those to turn. You are a lucky man the have such nice friends to send you such a piece of our history.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I am indeed very lucky to have so many generous viewers, Dean! 😊

[@dccrusin8290]

[@timmiller3847]

Great teacher, far far too modest. I have never seen one of you jobs turn out bad. If I had a fraction of your skill I would dare to make my own videos, may be I have left it too late. I must suffer from old dog new tricks syndrome. Keep it up, thanks Tim.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I was 69 when I started turning seriously and making videos, Tim. 😊

[@timmiller3847]

Hi Phil, I was 52 when I got my first lathe and enjoyed turning for 5/6 years until I needed to sell it. Then just before Covid surfaced I got my next lathe but could not quite get into it the same. I have kept at it since and now at 75 I am no match to you and doubt if I ever will be. Cheers The missile maker, if you get my drift.

[@billywag49]

I couldn't wait to get home to watch your video. I don't see any mistakes and I think you left just enough bark. Another Wonderphil Thursday! See ya next week.

[@joallawestervelt6918]

[@ggbuck2625]

As simple as it is it's still a beauty. Must be nice just to turn something that's not all lop-sided.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

It's a nice change but does feel kind of odd, GG! 😊

Good work Phil,to me they will all be good when you finish.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

😊

[@glencrandall7051]

Yes you should have left a bigger diameter to show off more of the bark. Yes you should have drilled a smaller hole. But looking at the finished piece no one who hasn't seen this video would ever know. And I have seen the video and I still like it. 👍👍Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@donaldadams1644]

So simple in its shape but SO elegant Phil. Little bit harsh on yourself regarding mistakes. What mistakes! Simple but beautiful & the grain does work well & is well supported by the Feed n Wax. The size of the opening is not too large & is well hollowed out & the flowers are a GREAT addition. Great piece, particularly for a man on the Come Back Trail after surgery. I think I have told you that I am now just 3 weeks today, post op from a a full Right Shoulder Replacement so I'm right there with you. Take your time my friend, the little simple things will gradually lead you back to the projects you prefer, GIVEN TIME. Stay well my friend, Don from South Aust.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Ah, yes, time. If only I could breathe, Don! LOL! 😊
