Turning Tiny! Just Nature's Art, No Resin or Epoxy - Wood Turning

Turning little scraps into something useful or artful is some of the most fun of woodturning. Turning Manzanita is not fun but that's for another day. LOL! I needed a quick and easy project and this little scrap turned out to be just the ticket. Lots of fun, quick and easy, great gift idea or craft show sale, this is the ideal project. Finished in Feed & Wax.

You are a teacher, man, ...a real teacher: You are not afraid to take some risks, solving the obstacles that eventually you need to face. Take care, Phil, and thank you.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Robert! 😊

[@petervinella5545]

You should do a show on Tuffy - how you meet, the pieces you have turned using Tuffy’s wood and tools, wood you didn’t turn and why, etc. It is always a special show when Tuffy is involved.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

That would be a lot of fun, Peter. Tuffy and I have never met in person. We are about a thousand miles apart. But he sure has given my channel a boost with all of his creativity and amazing pieces of wood he has found scattered around his hiking trails. He is an interesting man, for sure! 😊

[@ronniededmon7512]

Phil, I am 79 years old and last September I bought a MIDI lathe and trimmings. I did this because I loved to watch and hear your commentary. I have to do my turning sitting down due to back operation. I was going crazy sitting in the house. Turning has helped me mentally and physically. I am standing up a little. Thanks for my life awakening. Lots of luck turning. Keep turning and so will I. Thanks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Such good news, Ronnie! Even standing a little, fantastic! I like to think the more you do the easier it will become but I'm no expert. However you do it, turning is a great hobby and it sure is better to be busy. Good for you, my friend! 😊

[@Aaah-Mazn-Creations]

I am a 71yr an only been turning for about 2 years. I am a 100% Disabled TDIU Vietnam Veteran. I am using Woodturning for rehabilitation. I have a mental disability and partially paralyzed on my right side. Woodturning has taught me that all things can be accomplished with practice and some patients. It has improved my self confidence and be proud of my accomplishments. Ther is no doubt that Phill Anderson is the best teacher and not afraid to make a mistake, He presents it a way that ALL turners of every level can understand. I cant give him enough credit that I have learned SO MUCH from the very best. I am in the process of exposing woodturning to all my DAV Veterans that they can improve themselves. THANK YOU PHIL ANDERSON KEEP ON TURNING

Hi Phil, Well, you did it again. Turning a sows ear into s silk purse. I think it would make a great dish for your car keys or a pocket change bowl. It would work for a pin cushion but it would hide the great grain and figure etc. Take Care, Myles

And so, the Popeil Pocket Lathe makes its debut. Making micro-bowls has never been easier than with the Popeil Pocket Lathe. This lathe runs on two AAA batteries, fits in your pocket, and, like the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, this lathe will only be available for purchase on late-night infomercials. I'm glad you had the opportunity, Phil, to demonstrate the prototype, with great results, I might add. I think micro-bowls are going to be big! 🙂

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

If only it were possible, Paul! Can you imagine pulling a lathe out of your pocket at the doctors office? LOL!

Phil, it's good to hear you chuckle during your video. I think that bowl reminds me of the wood trinkets bought in the tourist traps on our vacations during the 60s. It needs gold leaf letters that might say souvenir of where ever. I'm in my 60s and still have a few of those items. Thanks for bringing back fond memories...

Hi Phil, good to tune in to you again. 99% of people would not have given a little scrap of wood like this a second look before throwing it into the firewood box without another thought. Fortunately it fell into your hands and the result is there for all to see and enjoy. You are a true artist with woodturning tools and this is a 'real beauty', any way you look at it. The 'Feed n Wax' again proved itself to be a great finish. Just got home from hospital yesterday afternoon following my Right Shoulder replacement but had to tune in. It has taken me longer to type this note with my useless left hand than it took you to make your video. Cheers, Don from South Aust.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh my gosh, Don. I don't know how long it takes to heal a new shoulder but I would imagine awhile. Keep up the good spirits, think positive thoughts and do a little drinking. The last probably won't help but you won't care, so there's that. Take good care, my friend! 😊
