Thanks for the plug for Alzheimer's research. I watched my father struggle with Alzheimer's before he passed away. Love the project this week too. Thank you for sharing your art with the rest of us.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, David. Sorry to hear about you father. Alzheimer’s is such a horrible disease. That’s why the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is so important!!

[@im4dabirds]

Very nice, nice recovery! Thank you for your work with Alzheimer's patients

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Vince!

My grandfather died of Alzheimer's. I am happy to donate to this cause! I personally do not turn a lot of bowls. I prefer other projects, but really enjoy watching your videos and your process. Thank you for sharing!!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thank you very much 👍🏻

[@ronnielloyd4514]

You get a new feeling each time a piece of wood comes off your lathe like that. No matter how many times it happens I jump.

[@PFWoodturning]

Yep, exactly 😵‍💫

Good morning, Peggy. Your video and bowl, very well done. It will always amaze me seeing the beauty of wood as it is shaped and finished. Each very unique.

Ola Peggy, Always fun to watch you work through issues and end up with a beautiful piece. Love the blue accent. Best wishes on your walk. Alzheimer's is nasty. Seen too many friends and family waste away and the impact it has on the families that are impacted.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks, Todd! So true about Alzheimer’s. It is the most difficult “long goodbye.”

Beautiful bowl! I like that you stop and we can see the grain and bark as the bowl progresses.

I watched my Grandfather decline with alzheimer's and ultimately loose that battle. Paratrooper that helped defeat Germany in WW2. 5'6" tall and tough as nails. That was no way for a strong, successful, powerful man to die. Thank you for what you are doing to help. May God Bless you.

[@gregdyer7227]

And....... I like the bowl. The bark inclusion, resin and natural character of the bowl, blended very well. Good job. Keep up the good work my friend 👏 👍

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for sharing. Cheers to your Grandfather and thankful for his service.

[@neabud]

Nice work Peggy. Lots of people would not have tried to save the piece. Cudos for diving back into it, its a lovely bowl. Pledge on the way.

I think the blue epoxy with that dark grain pattern just pops the piece Peggy! Got to order some more Ack's, got a piece of black Walnut calling to me to be turned, also some more Pecan. It has just been too hot to go out in the shop here in GA even with A/C running it's hot.

I hope this comment finds you happy and healthy. You seem a bit low-energy in this video, compared to others. I do hope that isn't indicative an illness. I enjoy watching you turn. God bless you and yours. [Edited to rephrase]

Thanks. I’m good. Just tired when I did the voiceover, I think! Thanks for checking though!! 😊✌️

Nice bowl. Glad you talked about the wax having more carnauba. I still have the old formula but look forward to the even better finish of the new.

I just blew up my first bowl last week. Glad you had a better outcome.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks 😊 hope you’re okay!

[@velodctr]

Love to watch your videos. keep them coming. I vote your mortise failed because it was too thin. I don't do many mortises becasue I think they can be dislodged easier than a tenon if there is a catch. I make my depth so that the mortise is deeper than the foot. That gives extra holding power on the bowl. Balance depends on the uniformity of the wood. If it has knots, holes, nails, rotten wood as in your case, it will never balance well especially if the defect is at the edge. Next time you add sandsealer , let it dry, then denib with 4-0 steel wool. It will come out shiny and slick like u just used the Ack's abrasive paste.

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks very much ✌️

[@DennisSuitters]

Lovely Bowl Peggy, even though it tried to escape. I think we've all been there with work coming off the Lathe. I don't think having a deeper mortice would have helped, seeing as it cracked as you pointed out. A deeper mortice would have produced a deeper crack, and I think that piece was going to crack like that due to the outward pressure of the mortice. A Tenon would have been better, but hey, it's about learning, and if you don't learn from every turn then it's worth doing.

[@PFWoodturning]

Exactly!!! Thanks for watching ✌️

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

Peggy, you got to love how wood has a mind of its own! :)) Great save by the way. This is another beautiful piece. My dad passed from Alzheimer's a few years ago. I will be donating to your walk. Great job on the bowl

[@chopperh4090]

Great bowl as always! How do you sand by hand without leaving scratches on the end grain? I am having issues with that and end up needing to use power sander

[@crocuscreekwoodworks]

I'll chime in on this one; I use a heavy grit like 80 grit to start on end grain even if it's fairly smooth and go through the grits progressively to @ 600 grit. That continual progression will file down the tool marks/scratches. If you can, use a power sander to start.

[@chopperh4090]

@@crocuscreekwoodworks thanks!

[@PFWoodturning]

Yes. What he said. 👆

[@SFCRambo60]

On some of your works maybe make the bottom of your work the size of the screw in arbor until you get some major weight off of your work piece. What I am talking about is your base you cut out for your clamp, so just cut it out for the screw in arbor instead and secure it with screws. Can hide the holes with filler. Great looking project but you scared me when it let loose. Be Safe

Did I miss something again, why wouldn't you true up the outside before hollowing it, at least the second time you've done this. Confused. Gotta ask, thanks for your videos

[@PFWoodturning]

No worries. Well, it was trued up. Then the foot cracked and it was unbalanced again…and I didn’t want to take too much diameter off the bowl, so I decided to take some weight off of it by starting to hollow.

[@bakduvel5819]

Why do you always manage to make a bowl much better than me?

[@PFWoodturning]

LOL. I don’t!

[@ford1546]

what I don't like about your videos is that you don't hear the sound of the tool but only that you talk. most wood turning videos let you hear this. this is what we want to hear!

[@reuvengruber7139]

I disagree completely

[@ford1546]

@@reuvengruber7139 If you look at many wood touring channels on KZbin, you hear the sound of the tool! Gets a bit like when you watch a car video where the car sound is taken away and you only hear music or someone talking! You are interested in looking at wood touring and also want to hear the tool and not just someone who speaks. Your attention is dragged away from the video and more towards what is being said! Okay if the person in the video stops with what he does and talks! But not that al sound is gone and you only hear someone talking, it irrene me! I have come to look at wood touring not to listen to one who speaks throughout the video!

[@PFWoodturning]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll see if I can turn the tool volume up a bit

[@ford1546]

@@PFWoodturning Most wood turning videos I've watched, you ONLY hear the sound of the tool throughout the video. When the person in the video has to explain something, he stops what he is doing and then says what he wants to say or turns off the sound on the video to say what he wants to say. BUT you should not talk through most of the video or play music throughout the video. The video sound should have approx. just as loud as the advertisement!
