What Will It Become? - Wood Turning

[@bennetthicks5974]

I really like that you talk during your videos. It’s so much better than the silent turning videos the other guys do.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you enjoy it, Bennett! Not everyone does. I just like to think we are all standing around the lathe shooting the breeze. 😃

[@joallawestervelt6918]

I love your mushroom. The little knot in the middle looks like an eye. So cute. You do what you have to. Life and family always comes first. We will still be here waiting for you. Much love, take care and stay safe. I hope all goes well for you with the Covid vaccine. Blessed be Phil. ♥😺♥🤗♥

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you so much, Joalla! I got my first shot of vaccine easy-peasy. The second shot is proving a little more difficult to get. I'm fine and back in the shop! 😊

[@charlesmcclure5994]

I think your mushroom turned out awesome Phil that's for everything else do what you got to do we will all still be here 👍👍

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Good to know, Charles, thank you!

[@danielbole6837]

A Very nice piece. Thank you for the time you spend doing these videos. I'm 68 and first watch woodturning while stationed in Thailand and Vietnam during the war.. Needless to say, they don't follow safety procedures there like we do in the west. Grew up on a small farm in East Tennesse near the Great Smokey Mountains, so there was a lot of wood available. The problem was my woodworking " Fun" was building barns, string barbed wire fences,,,building gates, sheds chicken brooder houses, and hog pens. Now that I'm retired, I intend to do some woodworking, not carpentry. All the youtube videos inspire me to do many things. Hope I live long enough to do a few. Thanks

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Daniel! Enjoy your retirement, I sure am! 😊

[@WayneHutchinson-k4j]

Watching "The Mushroom Project" as we speak, Phil. I think you're doing just fine. Again, you are such an inspiration to me. Learn something new from each video. Keep em coming my friend. Wayne in WI.🤓

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wonderful! Thanks, Wayne! 😀

[@michaelmcdermott2178]

Love the sound of the rain in the background. We live on the Olympic Peninsula and I enjoy working on a rainy day with the roll up door open.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Oh, yeah, lots of rain over there along with here! 😊

[@robertopasquini9776]

This piece is similar to what I do; you know, small boxes, little containers, etc. I'm really happy because your way of work and your thoughts are similar to mines. Is a confirmation that what I do, and the way that I do it, is right. Thank you Phil.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool! Thank you, Robert! 😊

[@katm6]

That is an adorable mushroom! I love it. At the beginning, I was stressed that you were taking off all the bark, but as always, you know exactly what you're doing.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Well, I can at least fake knowing, Kathleen! 😃

[@FrednDeeDee]

Phil, that's one gorgeous mushroom. Why if I was a toad I'd proudly sit upon your mushroom and trill to my heart's content all night long. Take Care and God Bless !!!!!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Freddie, trill away! 😊

Hi Phil... beautiful mushroom box... I really like the design... and all from someone who says that he doesn't like spindle work... take care...All the best.....Andy

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

You and your comment (I credited you in the description) are the reason I turned this, Andy! I'm glad you like it, thank you! 😊

[@MANJITSINGH-ko2oi]

WOW Phil that's beautiful. simple but natural looking.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Glad you like it, Manjit, thank you! 😊

[@bobcade1002]

Nice ‘shroom! Make some more, bigger and smaller and then group them together on a split piece of log. A fungal display so to speak! You’re very creative Phil!

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Cool idea, Bob! Thank you!

[@Coyote48]

You say you don't know what you're talking about. I say keep on talking. It all makes sense to me. You're great and I hope all the issues are successfully taken care of.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Wow, I'm glad you can understand my thinking, Wile, I sure have trouble with it! 😊

[@kobiekaasjager4822]

Like others have said we will be here when you get back. It will tough going if you miss a week or two but we will survive. LOL I hope the Sumac doesn't start splitting. The bark on the Sumac is really pretty

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

No sign of splits but the lid does fit a little looser, Don. Thank you, see you soon!

Very cool! That X on top is really unique. I guess you never know just what will be revealed as you turn the wood. I used to help my dad in his work shop years ago. I have always loved the smell of wood. It now reminds me of my dad.

Yech! LOL! We all started at spindle turning and I enjoyed it, too. Now I can hardly make myself do it. Too much thought, too many tools, too much planning. Icky!

[@ThePapa1947]

First of all Phil sorry about loosing power and the furnace and the fence. Seems like things happen in 3's I think it is a real cool mushroom and I agree on the fit. I made a small box and had one of the pop fits when you take it off. I had to wait a year to get if off the second time till the weather changed. Funny I mention in an up coming video about being 36 degrees in my shop. We have not heard anything about getting our shots here..glad you were able to. Great video my friend and if you miss a week we will miss you but you take your time and I will be happy when ever that is. Gary

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thank you, Gary! I did get my shot today and they were VERY organized. No line, no waiting, in and out! Now I've got to schedule the second one for 24-28 days from now. No side effects, yet! 😊
