[@davidcannon9963]

My son who is an active Duty United States Marine, bought me a lethe for Christmas 2019. I have tried to watch your channel every day. You have taught me a lot. Thank you for your service and teaching me all I know at this point. Keep up the good work. Semper FI.

[@ellenyager9577]

Rod, you deserve all the praise and thanks we can give! You are a Veteran! And a Marine Veteran at that! We cannot thank you enough for your Service! Then, we see this warrior create these beautiful pieces of art in wood! And, of course, you have that great voice! Rod, to watch your channel is a gift of sight and sound! Thank you, and Semper Fi!

[@RHumphrey]

You're very kind, thank you, Ellen!

[@ellenyager9577]

R Humphrey Rod, we are a military family. My dad fought WWII in the Army and then Army Air Corps as a T. Sgt. He was up for Warrant Officer when he chose to come home in December of 1945. My Father In Law was a 20 year Navy Chief. My husband was up for First Class when he left the SeaBees at the end of his hitch. My Brother In Law was a First Class in the Navy when he was mustered out because of ALS. The military didn’t want me. I could only sing and play the piano. I was a Music Ed and Music Performance Major! So, we salute all military Vets! Thank you!!

[@charlesreicks648]

I just subscribed to your group today. My Father was also a Marine. 4th Division wwii he survived several beaches and taught me a lot about life. I was not able to be a Marine because I am a little handicapped so I put in 29 years of civil service with the Fighting 55th US Airforce. Thanks for your service and dedication to wood working.

[@RHumphrey]

29 years of civil service is amazing, Charles! Thank you for that. Welcome to my channel!

[@setphaser]

at the moment it doesn’t seem to matter what i do my body resets me back to anxious and i have to consciously work to regain some calm, returning to the second half of this video, listening to your words and appreciating your art, keeping the bark and saw cut... and knowing that you are caring for yourself, getting the tools you need to work better... a calm has finally come over me... you wipe the work with denatured alcohol, you sand... the piece is slowly revealed.... this experience is a very positive one for me, watching you create and explain the process. it’s very enjoyable.creation is everything.

[@RHumphrey]

My friend, I'm very glad my videos are a source of calm for you. To me, that means I'm achieving that same feeling through my woodworking, and it's translating through the video. Thank you so much for telling me so. It's a very harsh world out there, with everyone going through their own set of circumstances... I've learned to remind myself of that, about the person I'm dealing with, talking to, driving behind, helping me at a store, etc... To be called a source of calm is a high compliment, and very much appreciated.

[@MikeB0001]

Wow!..that was fast!..delivered Monday..setup and a video on Friday. Beautiful christening of the new toy!..thanks for the shout out and yes.. you ABSOLUTELY deserve it.👍🏻👍🏻

My husband and I love your videos! You have inspired us to give wood turning a try. Thank you for for being so gracious and sharing your craft.

[@GingerPhish34]

I love watching your videos. Usually wood turning sounds are very abrasive, but not here. The way it sounds when you turn, your calm voice and how the wood shavings come at the camera, it's all very soothing.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, I appreciate that!

[@margiesteininger3344]

Beautiful piece. Kim is a great person and wood turner. She has helped me out a lot in advice and watching her video. The same goes with you Rod, you have taught me a lot. The wood working community is full of get people.

Thank you very much! I couldn't agree more, what a great group of people.

Congratulations on the new lathe. As for being blessed, we are all blessed even though none of us deserve it. Thankfully God does not give us what we deserve. He gives us His grace and mercy. Thank you for your service from an old army SSG. May God bless you as well.

Well said, brother. Thank you for that and for your service!

I love that when I click on wood turning videos the content creator is almost always nice and does an amazing job of explaining what they are doing or have done in the video. It's also amazing to see you supporting others within the community. It's so wholesome to see you and others like you sharing the love around.

Mr. Humphrey, those chainsaw cuts are a perfect addition to this bowl. Your vision is spot on! Keep doing what you do. By the way, that sure is a pretty new lathe you got there. I hope it gives you years and years of shavings and happiness. Thank you for all you share with us.

I like the combination of rustic and smooth finish. I'd fill that bowl full of pine cones and acorns and wild flowers then set it in the middle of my dinning room table where everyone coming into my house could see and admire. It lovely. Good work.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you, Betty! That would look beautiful!

[@WobblyBiped]

Great to see the new lathe and a new project. The grain on wood always amazes me, with the many asymmetries and colors. Very nice piece you made, and the chain saw marks are just a reminder of the TLC you put into your work. Thank you for the peek at other people's work!

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you very much!

[@tudorhedgepig]

I love watching your videos. I work nights. It gets quite repetitive, though I have started watching your wood turning on my breaks. I wish I had a garden to put a shed in. My dad has a lathe but I've nowhere to put it, and I doubt my lovely wife will let me have our small conservatory! 🤔😄 Amazing work!!

Beautiful bowl, Rod. The grain is spectacular. There's nothing wrong with leaving the chainsaw marks. They're part of the wood's history. Phil Anderson does it a lot. Also, you deserve everything good that comes your way.

[@RHumphrey]

Thank you William. Phil Anderson is GREAT! And, I failed to mention that he also helped me quite a bit with my lathe decision.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

I really like your treatment of this piece, Rod. From the bark and semi-natural edge to the chainsaw marks and the beautiful finish, it's a winner! I know you've been out in the shop just caressing that new lathe. Who can blame you? All around great video! Phil

[@RHumphrey]

My apologies Phil, I sure meant to mention your help as well. I've added you to my video description. Yes... I may have slept next to my new lathe this past week... lol Thank you very much!

The "deserving" comes from the "gratitude." I don't think it can happen the other way around....than you for your generosity of time and knowledge, and letting us join you in your doings. God bless you, too! Oh, and yeah...nice lathe! :-)

[@RHumphrey]

Thanks for your service as well! Consider a mini lathe, they're very small and you can still make a wide assortment of beautiful things...

[@MrScaldedmonkey]

You make wonderful pieces. Always enjoy your videos. The flat edge with saw marks add some great character, it is a story about where the bowl starts.

Ya finally pulled the trigger! Congrats on the new lathe - major heavy puppy! Really nice grain inside the bowl. The only kind of people who wonder if they "deserve" it are those who absolutely do. It's the ones who think they are entitled who don't deserve. You? Top of the list Rod. Enjoy.

[@markzaugg4688]

A new video from you is always exciting, but a new lathe *for* you is very, very exciting indeed. You gotta get your sticker on it soon, so I'm sure it's you! :) It's your buddy in Alberta. I've been setting up my home up here and I'm just waiting for spring to get started fixing my garage and setting up my shop back there. I broke my ankle a few weeks back and have spent a lot of time dreaming and planning the projects I want to take on next. I've done a lot of shopping getting some of my basics together, a lathe is going to be a must, so I'm interested in some of the advice and conversations you've had when you were looking for yours. Thanks a ton, I really enjoy watching you create. And I sure love the introduction to channels and showing off other subscribers' work. There's some very inspiring, beautiful work around here. It's great to be around all the amazing folks here. And it goes without saying, but we're fortunate to be here too. Take care, buddy, I'm so happy to drop in every week. - Mark

[@RHumphrey]

Hi Mark! Sorry to hear about the ankle! Hope you recover fast and fully. Drop me an email at [e-mail] and I'll give you more detailed input, but in a nutshell, get the best lathe you can afford without going in debt. There are loads of great choices out there. Every turner has their own opinion and they're absolutely right about what suits them the best... I appreciate your kind words.

[@darylzappe242]

Wow! A very nice piece! I'm a new subscriber, who has actually spent the last several evenings trying to catch up on all your videos. Your spectacular turning are an inspiration. Congrats on your Powermatic 3520C. Thank you for videos. Thank you for your service. Thank you for your humbleness and sharing your talent with others!

Semper Fi Top,I have recently come across your U-Tube channel and I am delighted that I found it. I was also watching your video on carving the Sgt. Major and noticed what looked like Air Crew wings over the ribbons. I enjoyed 7 years as a CH-53 crew chief and was in several squadrons both in country and Marble Mountain in Danang. I haven't done any wood turning since high school but your work has inspired me to get a new lathe and get back into this hobby. I look forward to your future videos because you are an excellent teacher for this hobby. Thanks so much and enjoy your new lathe. Sincerely ,Roger Bienvenue.

[@RHumphrey]

Semper Fi, brother! Welcome aboard my channel. A hearty welcome home too. That SgtMaj was one of my first caricature carvings, I'm doing more now, mostly posted just to Facebook. The wings are gold jump wings with a scuba bubble above... double trouble for the SgtMaj I carved it for who wore the same. My detail has improved, lol... Happy to have inspired, thank you for telling me so, and thank you for the kind words!

Being humble is a quality that can't be faked sir. I'm jealous of that beautiful lathe, I'm in the middle of re-conditioning an old Craftsman lath and like you feel blessed and lucky for the life I've been given. That bowl is beautiful but I could of never resisted the temptation to polish the outside of it as well. I'm OCD though so overlook my failings.

Brilliant! Really like the chainsaw mark - definitely a more authentic/rustic look. You don't know how it'll look until you try. And you deserve the new lathe. I strongly believe in the notion that hobbies are meant to be done to excess, otherwise they'd be chores.
