Wood turning on a cat. Mangrove droop bowl

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Well, look at that, I'm first! I think you did a great job under the circumstances, Al. Tough piece of wood and not all the tools in the world to work with and it STILL looks amazing! Phil

[@AlFurtado]

Wow, thanks I got the tools persay. I just need to organize myself a bit better for this situation. Space is premium Glad you still liked it anyway. Take care

[@philvale5724]

Now you're amazing the only guy I know that turns wood on a boat. Love to hear that water slap on the hall Old Navy got here

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you for watching and commenting. Sounds like you know a few other sailing wood turners. I guess I missed the boat on being the first huh? LOL

[@Coxeysbodgering]

You certainly haven't lost your touch. Take care and stay safe, Mike

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Very nice bowl Al. It’s good to see that your imagination is still at work. Nicely done my friend.

[@AlFurtado]

Thank you my friend it felt great being on the lathe again

[@kelvincolemanAnimal]

It’s so great to see you doing wot you do best Al. You have shown me so much about wood turning. You are the one that got me in to it so much I love the piece of mind it brings me in this crazy world right now. I am going to start my own channel soon and would be love you and Fatima to have a look and see me making some nice pieces. All I want is to be half as good as you and I will be a very happy wood turner. Thank you both for sharing your beautiful way of life and your wonderful skills as my favourite turner till next time stay safe and in joy all that beautiful sunshine together. Ps I love that piece 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️

[@AlFurtado]

It feelsgreat to be back but even better to see you guys are stll watching. Thank you. Ofcourse we will. Best of luck with the channel may you get lots of subscribers. Take care and be safe

[@kelvincolemanAnimal]

Hello Al hope your both well and enjoying the sun and beautiful sea. See you soon I hope take care my friends 👍👍👍😊😊😊♥️

[@jimgreen4750]

I Loved it ;the effort and persistence in what you see can be done with a piece of wood. Al, have you considered wood stabilizer such as Cactics Juice for those doddy pieces. Does a good job

[@AlFurtado]

Yes I have and I know a bit of ca glue would have helped as well. Still the Moto of my channel is not to go out and buy stuff it is to work with whatever you have at hand at that moment. I am sure if I had purchased some in the past I would have used it. In this case seeing I was using some epoxy I could have filled all the voids a bit better but than I would be asked why wouldn't I use a vaccum pot. LOL. So many ways on can do things right?

[@edwilder9182]

What happened to rebel ,been missing his wood turning

[@AlFurtado]

I'll be back soon working at the moment

[@colemahaney4208]

love to have one of your stickers

[@AlFurtado]

That is great but I'm not doing stickers at the moment. Maybe if I ever get some made uo that include the catamaran.

[@edwilder9182]

How are you doing is things going good on the big boat

[@bobhoffman8717]

Very cool bowl. One of a kind!. I have a question not related to this video. I made a honey bowl. If I remember, I used spray on enamel as a finish. Possibly polyurethane. Would it be OK to put honey in it?? Thanks and keep your videos coming! BOB

[@AlFurtado]

Sorry I'm not sure I think you'll get a better answer from Google. Thanks for watching

[@darrenthompson6115]

I’m a bit late to the party on this video! Although I’m subscribe and with notifications the darn YT algorithm have put you in the back seat!!! Really great to see you again.. you, Eddy and recently Phil ‘Shady’ are my turn too for learning the gnarly stuff!… this could be a delicate question… but what’s happened to Eddie…? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@AlFurtado]

WB is in order I guess and thank you for the compliment. I am confused as to whom you are reffering to as Eddie? I am thinking Eddie Casteling known as Cap Eddie? as far as I know he's still posting. I see posts from him in fb here and there. Being on a boat with limited internet, working and boat maintenance. I don't spend a lot of time on KZbin

[@peterhapeta1236]

Hey Al, Im Pete, a learning woodturner from New Zealand and I have a question Id like your opinion on please. I see a lot of woodturning videos with guys using burls and to be honest I cant believe the waste they are prepared to go to in roughing them out to get their desired piece. I think its wasteful to do so. Am I wrong here???

[@AlFurtado]

I try to core some whenever possible but it's the nature of wood turning

[@lennym1273]

I don't know Al using epoxy might be cheating a bit lol J/K, looks good only you could have seen a bowl in a chunk of wood like that was...

[@AlFurtado]

Yeah I guess you're right. What did you think of how the lathe handled this without the generator running? Big difference from initial test huh?

[@lennym1273]

@@AlFurtado It seamed to handle just fine, that was some pretty tuff wood I could see it fighting you a bit and it was a lot of interrupted cutting , so yeah looked to be doing what it is suppose to be...

[@AlFurtado]

Hey I tried calling you back but your phone isn't working and the house phone is busy like last time. You want me to call the cops to do a welness check again?

[@AlFurtado]

Thank youfor watching my friend

[@steveyecker3308]

so al the least you can do is let me stay on your boat for 3-4months I like boating fishing and looking for mother nature's art work😊

[@AlFurtado]

Well said! the only problem is I am not sure I can find enough projects that you could tackele while on the hard to last 3 or 4 months. You do know why they are called deck hands right? LOL

[@trentoflaherty9206]

A need to score some fresh pieces from outsiders who watch you presentations. A mail address near by a good start.people @ different ports too.👍

[@AlFurtado]

Thanks for the visit. Glad you enjoyed it... Great idea but to anyone that needs address can just ask via email.

[@barbaramccarley5803]

That piece of wood looks like it has been thru the third world war

[@AlFurtado]

LOL I think it did. It was about to blow up a few times

[@gavincoyle]

Very very beautiful Al, its a credit to your turning waow 👍👍👍
