@maryrichmond Thank you! I'll probably use it to hide small cat toys rather than cookies! 🤣

@alandisomma-od5fz thanks Alan! I'm not sure if the variety but pretty sure not alligator. It has shaggy bark.

@@ralphgraler4223 thank you so much!

@ralphhernden2677 i have thought about it but from what I've seen in the comments of other videos is that is a pretty polarizing thing. Some don't mind it and others really hate it. And it's such a personal taste as well. I don't want to annoy a chunk of my viewers if I pick the wrong thing. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

@@maryrichmond thank you! I really love this wood as well. It's strange that I've lived here for over 30 years and never knew there were such beautiful woods in yards all over the city!

@ralphgraler4223 Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

@@DennisDolan-fl3mw yes. When it dries.

@@STMwoodturning Thank you! I'm trying to make incremental improvements where they make sense. It's tough because I think there are 2 audiences. One wants no narrating and one that does. The conundrum is that it makes the video flow differently. I'm spending some time this weekend digging into the data to see if i can find the best solution that I still enjoy doing. I appreciate the constructive feedback.

@ sounds like you’re on the right track to me 😊

Maybe. But I prefer to learn by trail and error. I’m a retired teacher so a classroom is not my preferred place these days.

I'm not sure what you mean. Is the finish perfect? No. Can I do better? Yes. This was my first time turning a piece like this so I was more time-invested in exploring the shape than creating a museum quality finish. If I was making this for a customer or planning to sell it, I would have fixed some of the flaws (or just started over). Thanks for watching!

@@kevinanneb6874 thank you!

What kind of VFD did you use? I’ve been looking to do that for a while.

@@jamesbrasseaux133 Thank you!

@@maryrichmond Thank you!

@ You’re welcome.

@jimvorheis1137 It should have been easy, if I hadn't had a brain fart. Thanks for watching!

@@908woodturner Thank you!

@alandisomma-od5fz Thanks Alan!

@@MikeB0001 I hate that i didn't see this coming before I started! Thanks for watching!

@FRBPturning measure once..cut 2ice!..looked good completed.

@@deanweeks7956 thank you! The new microphone will be so much better.

Yup! I wish I would have just slowed down a bit and had a think. I’m much smarter when I go slow!😅

@@bobbyshelton8781 Now THAT'S what I should have done! I get too rushed and want to just get to turning. I really should just make up a bunch of them so they're ready to go. Thanks for watching!

You are welcome, and I do audio. Nice to hear what turner are thinking about as they work.

@billthompson9482 I probably should have done that! I have a pretty good ability to visualize things but if things go sideways I'm stubborn and sometimes hang on to my initial plan too long...

@@FRBPturning Don't get me wrong I often change the design on the fly. Drawing things out just helps me with procedure and I have a better visual frame of mind as i am turning. The tray came out looking just fine.

@@tcgrier Thank you! I will try to make it as clear as I can.

@rowdyturner3692 thanks for watching! Are you just starting to turn? It's a lot of fun, but I'm not big on meetings myself.

I haven’t started yet but I can’t wait to!!

I’m going to the meeting to learn & meet others.

@rowdyturner3692 that's awesome. It really is a very satisfying activity. I would say the most important thing is to budget for, and immediately get a sharpening system. You have to sharpen your tools A LOT! If you done have a way to quickly and easily sharpen, you'll end up turning with dull tools which is absolutely zero fun. Good luck!

@@rowdyturner3692 you will learn way faster than I did! I thought myself from books and videos. I still have a lot to learn...

I stole it from Phil and love it! Thanks for watching Bobby!

Thanks so much! 😊 I do enjoy a quick little project sometimes.

I have a Nova 3000. It's old and has been discontinued but it does the job. The rotating stock is a gamechanger for me. My shop is very small and I don't have space to turn off of the end of the lathe. Rotating makes it very comfortable (and safer) to hollow the inside of bowls. You don't have to lean and get in awkward positions to get the tool inside of the bowl. There are a number of lathes you can buy today that have a rotating headstock. Record Power, Nova, and some others offer them. My dream would be to upgrade to the Vicmarc VL240. @KerryCorney in Austrailia has one and he does a lot of production turning in addition to art pieces. He has a RUclips channel that is worth watching. Thanks for watching!

@@FRBPturning Thank you for the response. Much appreciated

Thank you for watching! I looked at your catalog and I don't think your product line is something I would use in my normal projects. I appreciate the interest though!

Thanks Jim! 3 turners I watch regularly do it (thepapa1947, Phil Anderson and Kent Weakley) it really saves a lot of time and leaves a better surface than chiseling on a workbench.

Thank you Mary!

Thank you! Yes, it's a shellac based sanding sealer. After a couple of coats I used abrasive paste and polished it up nice.

Thanks David! I know you are not alone in not caring about the math, so no worries!

Thank you! Even taking out the delays I created myself in this project, a segmented project takes probably 10x the amount of time as a solid log/blank. Sadly, they don't seem to command that high of a price. I showed my wife some really amazing segmented turnings and she said "they look fake". Like the level of detail is so high, that it doesn't look like a person made it out of wood. Makes me sad...

Thanks! I really love turning these "problem" pieces rather than sending them to the burn pile.

Thanks! I wish everyone said yes to physics. I think most people get traumatized by a bad physics teacher in high school so they avoid it later in life. I will try my best to make something helpful and not boring!

That's a good idea with the tape! I'm going to steal that for the next time. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I'm already working on material for the physics video. I'll probably make it even if people are not begging for it. As a teacher (and former engineer), it bothers me that there are no quality explanations or discussions of this topic, just "rules of thumb". These can be useful, but I find that knowing the "why" behind a rule makes it stick better. Stay tuned!

Thanks Alan! I feel you on the tree revenge. After I had to cut down all my diseased Ficus last year, my neighbor's mesquite dropped millions of tiny leaves in my pool. And I'm allergic to mesquite... I've been giving that tree the stink eye over the fence for months now!

@@FRBPturning On a side note that trees are dying? Three years ago when we started the excessive heat, my grapefruit tree dies. Now my orange tree is just about dead. Just two limb’s left standing. My lemon tree is not producing much good fruit? It will be gone by next year?

I had a blood orange tree die this summer from the heat. I'm super bummed about that one. I also had a huge multi-arm saguaro die a couple of summers ago when we had the extreme heat. I've seen tons of them down this year as well. So sad.

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you! Unfortunately you missed the giveaway but I appreciate you watching. I am planning another giveaway soon for my 1000 subscriber milestone. Stay tuned!

Thanks! I spent a lot of time on the CAD work for the case and made several prototypes before I settled on this design.

Thank you! I agree! I was mad at the time but I really like it now. I have so many ideas for new designs that I hardly know what to do next. I really enjoyed this project and want to do more of them. Thanks for watching!

If you feel anything I do is not safe for you, don't do it. I'm very clear that this is for entertainment and my methods are not for everyone. For a small bowl like this, at 200rpm, the energy stored in the bowl is very low and the risk of injury (especially with my safety gear on) is very low. If you prefer other methods, that's fine too.

@jimvorheis1137 thanks! I wish I had stayed turning 40 years ago! I missed a lot of fun 😁

@@FRBPturning I stopped from 1982 until this year. Back surgery, moved from Colorado to Oregon, and just plan life. I need to get a better lathe in the future.

@jimvorheis1137 I actually bought my lathe 20 years ago or so to make staffs for martial arts while I was still practicing. Then I damaged the spindle threads and didn't get them fixed until a couple of years ago. Now I'm loving the bowl turning in my retirement.

@scottcates Thank you scott I appreciate it!

@@clydeschuyler Thank you so much!

@JOHNSmith-pn6fj Thank you! It was actually the second ring that I copied to the wrong side which reversed the color sequence. Then I did the third one to continue with the second ring. I do like the result but I hate making mistakes! I only really started turning regularly about a year ago other than pens. I'm loving doing bowls and I learn a lot from other toutubers.

@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound Thanks Doug! It's probably my best work so far.
