As always, beautiful work my brother. Wednesday was my grandsons 9th birthday. He sat and watched this video with me and kept making "cool" comments. I may have another turner in the family. You are an inspiration! 'RAH!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much, brother, I appreciate that! Please give your grandson a happy birthday from me!

[@reniervanzyl8168]

Thanks very much, Ellen!

[@williamellis8993]

Great job, Rod. Those are beautiful. I'm confident that we'll see those cutoffs again. Bill

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Bill! You will indeed...not sure of the project yet though 😊

[@_zhawkeye_9808]

...they turned out great...love the grain in these!...👍

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Bubba4168]

Very nice pieces. That marine should be very happy.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! I hope so! He's a Marine that was side by side with me in combat. A true brother for life.

[@Kirstalyn272]

You amaze me at what you turn. The dice bowls are beautiful! As always, I do enjoy watching to see just what a piece of wood will look like when you are finished. Keep them coming❤

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much, my friend! will do! 😊

[@archaicruinx]

Those bowls turned out fantastic. Great job making them stack perfectly and the laser engraving was a nice touch!

Thanks very much!

WOW R HUMPHYREY realy beautiful trays. weldone.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

They turned out absolutely beautiful that ax product is really awesome

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much! It's good stuff. The pre sanding is very important to the flashiness though.

[@LadyKatJPhillips]

KZbin popped up with a question if this was a good recommendation. I said absolutely. Then... it popped up wanting feedback about your channel. I'm an author/journalist... it was an hour long write and edit before I sent it. I love ya! You're kind to others and your videos are soothing and informative! KJP

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much, Kate! Wow, I can't thank you enough... Your time, thoughts, and efforts are very much appreciated.

[@awesomecarsforever]

Beautiful wood and beautiful proportions

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@nurmaybooba]

such a good idea for keeping dice on the table!.

[@RHumphrey]

They make towers to roll dice down from into trays too... might have to go that route soon.

[@bluelily8289]

Those are beautiful!

[@WoodenItBeNice]

excellent Rod, Making one is quite easy, making 6 the same is definitely not easy. Wonderful craftsmanship Rod. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw

been there, done that. your patience for detail in admirable. finish brings out the grain detail. it is nice/beautiful workmanship. looking forward to viewing more videos. stay safe.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, David, I sure appreciate it!

[@ellenyager9577]

Absolutely beautiful! I love the way you show how to calculate the interiors and exteriors for the stacking! Amen to your food for thought! God bless, and, in tribute to your service, Semper Fi.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you so much, Ellen!

[@jackthompson5092]

Very beautiful Rod.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much!

[@DennisDuboisLifeview]

Nice job. And yes black walnut is my favorite turning wood. Just wish it wasn't so darned expensive.

[@RHumphrey]

It sure can be... but we have so much of it around here that it's often found in firewood piles, as crazy as that seems.

[@tomcannon936]

Rod as usual your workmanship is impeccable love how they stack nice and even you got all the dimensions right beautiful work. It appears you really like that laser that you bought you like a kid at Christmas there's nothing wrong with that. Semper Fi my brother

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much, Tom! Semper Fi! It was fun making them a similar but not quite same looking set. figured out a trick or to on the way 😊I really do like these laser engravers too!

[@kevingaddis7276]

Very nice job Mr. Rod.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!!

[@joseromeroallio445]

Una idea estupenda ejecutada con la prolijidad y el oficio de un profesional. La hermosa madera quedó excelentemente pegada, cortada con sierra, trabajada con precisión y el producto final fue un objeto bello y práctico, sin pretensiones de galería de arte. Ese tipo de producción es necesario y debe enseñarse, tanto como la producción de vasos elaborados con otro tipo de vuelo creativo y artístico. Felicitaciones!

[@RHumphrey]

Muchas gracias por tan amable y generoso comentario. Me alegra mucho que hayas disfrutado viendo todo el proceso. Bandejas hechas para uso diario y almacenamiento práctico. Pórtate bien, amigo.

[@stuartscott9646]

Love the grain better then I thought I would. Beautiful

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks, Gordy! Black walnut rarely disappoints me!

[@gordybishop2375]

@@RHumphrey my grandfather was a great builder of houses and furniture. He would load his car up with as much black walnut as possible and drive it home from Missouri to California. Had an uncle that did the internals of grand father clocks and he would build the frame. Grew up with that sawdust smell of many woods. Sawdust was my sand box. Thanks for the memories

[@maddieadams75]

Beautiful set of trays, love love the colors and design ❤🙏

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Maddie!

[@Bob_H]

Once again beautiful work. I am always amazed at the color variations in walnut. Seeing the bandsaw work got me thinking, how about a 4-corner winged bowel someday. You know Mrs. H might like some bowls like those for when you have company over. (Just thinking of Xmas gifts 🎄)

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much! She might indeed... have fun!

[@rayworstine4399]

Good morning, Brother. Nothing like "Mail Call" in the morning. Very special segment in your videos. Interesting to see how 72 small boards turn into 6 different but the same size bowls. All the steps shown as the production line moved through the process. The engraving personalized each piece in a special way. It's a thumbs up video. 'In everything, give thanks.' Happy Thanksgiving. God bless

[@RHumphrey]

Hello Ray! I enjoyed making these, lots of steps, lots of tools 😁 Thanks very much, brother!

[@kbtreefrog5653]

Nice work Rod! I’m gonna make one Or two😊 🐸🔱⚓️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 KB

[@funkojones2947]

Loved them as always ! the stacking was an awesome idea. In the interest of being frugal if you had slid the circles to one end of the glue ups I think you might have gotten a bowl and a half from each one.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Funko! I thought about that as well as maybe staggering the wood and making the slabs longer for that purpose. Decided against it to eliminate the perpendicular joints...mostly for the final appearance.

[@DH-lq6lf]

They are great. I would have like to see that inside logo.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much! Sorry, judgement call...

Will this product potentially increase my chances of winning at Monopoly? Lol! Beautiful shine and vibrant wood grain! And I love seeing you use the laser engraver.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, FW, I appreciate the interest!

[@julianc3580]

Outstanding project (as usual)! I liked seeing the process as to how you made them stack and eliminated the mortise. I bet you have something in mind for the "24 quarters" left when you cut out the six blanks? Thanks.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Julian! I'm glad you enjoyed to process; it was a fun one! I'll use them for sure!

[@julianc3580]

@@RHumphrey How about laminated dice cups to match?

[@jayscott306]

Beautiful set, Rod. I could hear the sound of the walnut as you were turning. Might need to go cough up the money for some, as it's not as available or affordable as it should be, given other neighbouring provinces. I'm impressed by your uniformity of all eight. Sorry you guys have to deal with those criminals in the comments. That and the ridiculous people. Be well.

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks very much, Jay! I hope you can get your hands on some. yep, the scammers and spammers have caused havoc. ...and KZbin seems to punish the channel rather than the criminals, which can be disheartening.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Dave! It really is a shame, and it seems like KZbin is holding their presence against us too, though there is only so much we can do about it. It's frustrating. But... I'm not stopping just yet.

[@daveb.misc.2589]

@@RHumphrey its good to hear youre not stopping, because I so enjoy watching. I started watching because of the turning. I was really getting into that, then the power failed in the shop I was using. Then I saw you carving. I was much impressed, especially the little Huw! (Huw is a fantastic guy) I thought, I dont need much power for that, and I carved years ago, so...im giving that a go. Ive started a channel too, and have a few subscribers. I post videos from my son's stock car racing, (im the crew, lol) my rides sight-seeing on my motorcycles, and now, a bit of carving. Ive recently relocated my machines to my oldest sons shop, and am planning to start turning again, and ill post videos of that also. Ill never have as big a channel as yours, or, as many subs. But, im having fun with it, so, that's what counts for me! Stay well, Sir, and God bless you! 😊❤👍

[@girlghastly]

My papa used to do woodwork and I'm looking to pick it up myself so I can make handcrafted gifts. Would cherry wood and purple heart be good for this project do you think?

I think both would look great, Autumn. Cherry is one of my favorite woods to turn, and PH is one of the most durable.

Welcome back to woodturning Rod as that's where you belong. However, I'm somewhat disturbed that you are making dice trays.

I can tell you from personal experience that it's the road to nowhere so I urge you to stop right now.😀. Semper Fi
