Thanks Billy for a great presentation of SWAT for us you didn’t get to go this year.

[@TheMessyStudio]

I missed seeing you there, my friend! I pray all is well!

[@Susanjilek1953]

Awesome awesome. Awesome the more I watch the more phenomenal the turnings were I really liked the bird houses and the finishes were unbelievable and that one older gentleman James, just unbelievably fine work. Thanks, Billy.

[@TheMessyStudio]

I agree wholeheartedly on all counts, Sue!

[@charlesreicks648]

Wow Billy. Thank You so much for taking the time to share this with us. You are amazing. So many ideas there of things to try. Can't wait to see what you do next. Thanks Tim

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you very much, Tim! I left there with ideas as well. I guess we'll see.

[@JOHNSmith-pn6fj]

"Phenomenal Pieces" is right. More than a few of those works of art blew me away. Thank you very much for recording all that and putting it up for all to see.

[@TheMessyStudio]

It was my pleasure. Too pretty not to share!

[@missteeturns]

Thank you for this video, so inspirational. I'm UK and unable to travel for health reasons but it's always a joy to see work from across the pond. I think I've got an idea for my next project from this video.

[@TheMessyStudio]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@bizarbarabreaks]

So many awesome pieces, really incredible! So much talent!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Yes, Biz, just awesome!

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

Wow, that was bonkers brilliant. Thanks so much Billy for taking the time to show us the gallery in such detail. Means so much to us mortals trapped on the other side of the pond. All the best mate.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Glad you enjoyed it, Stephen! My pleasure.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Thank you for sharing Billy. Doesn’t make me feel better about not being there, but at least I get to see some inspiring work. Thanks again.

Thanks for taking us around and the commentary!! Ya done good!! Andy

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Andy! You were there. You saw it, LOL

[@Buttermilk3696]

@@TheMessyStudioI shared this to our club’s Facebook page and mine. It’s a great way to show that woodturning is much more than just brown and round.

[@TheMessyStudio]

@@Buttermilk3696 Thank you, Andy!

[@Susanjilek1953]

Thanks Billy, some wonderful pieces there. Some of them were decorated to the nth degree. Course Howard stuff is always amazing and so is yours. So thank you for this short tour. Looking forward to other videos. Take care my friend.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thanks Billy just wonderful stuff. I going to say what I have heard you say. " I should just sale my lathe " such pretty stuff

[@TheMessyStudio]

My pleasure, Al. Glad you liked it.

[@MartyRaaymakers]

Thanks Billy, great stuff. Sorry I missed it this year.

[@TheMessyStudio]

No worries, Marty. My pleasure.

[@scottmedori1437]

Thank you for this. What I really appreciate, is the great variety of projects, and the skill to produce this work. Not sure if it spurs me on, or makes me want to sell my lathe.

[@TheMessyStudio]

My pleasure, Scott. I know how you feel.

hay their Billy great video Buddy, It was good seeing you my friend, from Doug

[@TheMessyStudio]

Thank you, Doug! It was great seeing you as well, my friend!

[@RobinsBuysandDIYs]

Those figurines are cute!

[@TheMessyStudio]

Yes, they were.

[@ronnielloyd4514]

There were some interesting, intriguing pieces. Just shows there are a lot of beautiful pieces inside of the trees all around you. I saw so many awesome pieces but one stuck out to me. It was near the end of your video and it was a seahorse on a platter. I thought that would look fantastic at out beach house.

[@TheMessyStudio]

So very true, Ronnie! I bet it would. I'll try to find out who made it so I can let you know.

[@whatlolawants2167]

Billy, THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! You did a fantastic job on the showing all the gorgeous stuff. I didn't even have to slow it down this year. I am however left with several questions, first how on earth do you turn 2cm anything??? And there were so many!! Then the quartered bowl that you said was hinged? I don't understand. And the man with the gigantic vases and the triple skull and the ones with pins??? Can you please explain them , I didn't know a lathe was that big! Once again thank you so much! I always love your trip to SWAT.❤❤❤

[@TheMessyStudio]

My pleasure, Lola. Answer 1: Very carefully. Other than that, I have no idea. Answer 2: Again, I don't know. But the guy who did it is a friend, I just haven't had a chance to ask him. Answer 3: I talked to the gentleman who did those, but I never got a chance to ask him about the pinned pieces. Answer 4: For the large vases, he used a large homemade lathe. There are lathes that will turn pieces that large, but I don't have one of them. Mine will only turn a vase about 19" in diameter.

after seeing all this i thank i will throw my lathe tools in the garbage

[@TheMessyStudio]

I often feel the same way, Don! Just keep plugging!

[@dondeere]

if a woodturner dont talk i dont watch them anymore its getting really a thing that so many are doing i dont get it

[@TheMessyStudio]

You should love my videos then. I can't keep my mouth shut! LOL

[@morgancalvi6675]

Just saying...if you carry any clout with KZbin, you may want to talk to them about excessive ads. They mainly become excessive when people can’t subscribe to KZbin Premium. Like a million extra ads will make us change our minds...NOT! It seems as if they went to dictator school and not marketing school.

[@TheMessyStudio]

Clout with KZbin? Not me. I'm at the mercy of what they do.

[@morgancalvi6675]

@@TheMessyStudio I hear you there. Not only do they bombard me with ads periodically...they switch me to another video all together when the ads are done. I wish they’d quit...they aren’t going to get me to do what they want. Then they scream and holler about ad blocks (which by the way, they advertise)...idiots.

[@TheMessyStudio]

@@morgancalvi6675 I've not experienced the video switch.

@@TheMessyStudio lucky man..they treat video creators far better than the regular peons. Just ask Doug.
