Phil, I rely on RUclips “University” for learning wood turning. I used to have real-life mentors where I used to live, but for the last 10 years, I’ve been on my own. You are thorough in your YouTub videos. You are a great “instructor”. Thank you and please continue your “training”!
Well done. Enjoyed watching with our coffee in hand. We either watch from a kindle pad or on TV, so these do not have bells.We both think phone screens are too small for us to watch and not get our eyes crossed. 😂 Thanks for sharing 👍💕
Welcome to Phil’s Twilight Zone. 😳😳😳 Great video, Phil. That is a truly beautiful bowl, my friend. Another very entertaining and informative video! I always enjoy watching you work, Phil. 👏👏👏 All the best, …..Gord
Thank you so much, Gord! This was kind of a fun one, turned pretty easily for end-grain Oak. I appreciate your spending some time with me today, buddy, take good care! 😊
Hey Phil, I watch alone of your videos, I am a long time woodworker starting into wood turning. Your channel is very informative, and you do great work…thank you
😁Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis😁....Hard Oak, I could see smoke drilling for the woodworm screw. I love Oak, perhaps a bit of a pain fighting it's hardness but the finish piece (i think) is always worth your effort. Your Twilight Zone Oak Bowl 😵💫.... Love it all from beginning to end & LOVE THOSE BUG HOLES!!!. Until next time Phil..... TM
The dish turned out fantastic. You explained to Dave how to use a couple of functions, fantastic that you realized his problem it warmed my heart. Love Carsten
A really simple depth gauge is a piece of rod in the tail stock locked in position, slide the tail stock up to the Chuck and mark the bed with a felt tipped pen. Once you are turning you can keep sliding the tail stock up until you reach your mark. Nice work. Liz from Victoria, Australia.
Phil, because of you I now know more stuff, not that I’ll ever turn a piece of wood, but if I ever meet a live woodturner I will be able to understand his lingo. Learning never stops and I love watching you make beautiful things from log ends.😮
Betty, get yourself a hobby lathe, a chuck and a 5/8 and 3/8 bowl gouge and don't look back. I bought mine 6th months ago and now cannot stop turning. Phil is an awesome teacher and an absolute inspiration. Go on, you know you want to. R
Hi Phil, 40 years ago when our house was built there were few codes that needed to be followed. We are into a complete house refurbishing from top to bottom, inside and out, and everything must be upgraded to meet the up-to-date codes and rules. We have an army of contractors working to create our dream house with the modern upgrades which means with the noise I can't get in my afternoon power naps. My wife Dee has agreed that we need a 14 X 24 outbuilding which will be a combination storage/man cave building. And we will deal with that after the home is finished being refurbished. Our county requires permits for almost every nail that goes into the house. You do a complete home restoration. and get rewarded with increased property taxes. The smile on Dee's face makes it all worthwhile and I get a man cave out of the deal. Yeah!!!!! Another very nice bowl!!!!!
Bore da Phil, Great 101 on turning end grain bowls and the size needed for tenons. That little bowl looks fantastic and I love the natural edge rim on it. Great way to spend 28 minutes while having my morning mug of tea Phil. Take care my friend. Cheers, Huw
Bravo for this nice little bowl, Phil. The idea is very good. Certainly it is a work of art, but without thinking of soup... this grain made me think that a beautiful and good breakfast would be nice and aesthetic in this kind of bowl: there would be mouth-watering colors and tastes that would go really well with that wood. I think I'll get started soon: simply, after the shellac finish (barely French lol), I will add a translucent food resin protection, which will allow good coffee and good milk from our local mountains, to sit in it like in a cozy armchair without soiling the wood! Thanks again Phil. patrick
Great work Phill. When you were tightening the piece on the worm screw and the wood popped I thought it was you again. My heart dropped. Then realized it was the dang wood.
Phil. Brilliant timing. After Covid i was taking a walk in the park to perk me up and someone must have gotten a chainsaw for Christmas and cut a tree into bite size logs... shame for the tree but i just couldn't believe my luck. They are now in the garage drying out... noy sure they are oak...probably Ash, but just about the right si3 and shape for an end grain exploration. So many thanks for the video. So glad you're back on form. R
Phil, I've been watching you for long time, and have learned a lot of tricks for my wood turning. I started useing a rag to apply my sanding sealer, and have learned to wipe it so that no fuzz sticks to my peace, and I get a very smooth finish for my final finish. thank you for all that you have learned and pass on to us watching. Love the pieces that you make, and I have started doing small things that befor I just scraped. What a difference it has made in my turnings, small out of larger pieces. Thank you Phil for all the videos You have made!
Hi Phil, I really enjoyed your video on the end grained oak bowl. I especially appreciated when you explained about sheer scraping. I was not exactly sure about shear scraping or how you did it. But now I know how. I thank you very much for that. OK, have a good day. Roger.
That's a nice tip to turn from the inside out on the interior of an end-grain bowl. I sometimes auger the center out with a forstner bit to make the process easier, but the next time I'm going to try to turn from the center to the outside to see if it works any better. Happy turning!
in a pinch, after i had turned a tenon and found it to be a minute too small, I recalled seeing a Turner take one or two turns of painters tape around the tenon .I had my face shield and safety glasees on and stood out of harms way..... worked Great!!!! Kept the rpm's low and very lightly went on with the work.
Phil, I have watched your work for several years, I am a turner as well and have learned so much from your turning. I greatly admire your patience in finishing each piece, not my forte. I have recently started turning urns and need to work on my patience, with your inspiration to guide me, I may just get there!! Be well, God Bless...
I understand. I used to be impatient, also. Then I figured, "if I've put so much work into this piece, I may as well finish it as best as possible." If I don't do that, it bothers me forever, each time I look at a piece. I always say, "no matter how beautiful a piece is, if when someone picks it up it doesn't feel good, it's not so beautiful anymore." Why waste all that time only to be unhappy? I hope you can work it out to your satisfaction! 😊
Another beauty... I agree with you about being able to not only see, but feel the grain of the wood... and being able to laugh about the mistakes... Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoy watching you apply the skill of your craft but what makes it more special to me is your commentary. Like you I enjoy the nature of each piece including the bug holes and tracks. I have a supply of cherry the was stored in a barn for 50 years that the bugs got to and it still makes beautiful pieces. Thanks for being you Phil.
I am so happy to see you back!!! I hope this new video means your recovery is complete. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us. 🤗
Beautiful! I'm not a fan of white oak, but w/ your natural edge it is sooo pretty. Nice shape. I like your comment about feeling the wood grain, I'm w/ you. (If you want glass, get a glass bowl, right!) Your good sense of humor is appreciated too ")
Hi Phil this is a real lovely piece of wood I like the grain and the colouring in the wood. Thank you for explaining how you do things so it helps your viewers. I'm glad you kept as much of the bark as possible it really makes the bowl looks really gorgeous. You always make marvellous items and they all look fantastic and are masterpieces. Thank you for another great video it was really interesting you are an awesome person. Hope your arm gets better soon from Amanda xxxx
good afternoon, i am a new viewer of your spectacular wood turning. i am a wood carver from terrace BC Canada.i carve a lot of bowls out of alder wood. i find very helpful when checking the thickness/ depth of the bowl, I use the straight edge of a ruler and a measuring tape. i lay the ruler on edge and measure from the inside bottom of bowl and to the bottom edge of the ruler. in your case i would place the tool rest across the opening of the bowl and measure from the bottom of the bowl to the tool rest. calipers are handy tools to have but sometimes they can not be used

Hey Phil, I watch alone of your videos, I am a long time woodworker starting into wood turning. Your channel is very informative, and you do great work…thank you
Thank you very much, Jamie, for taking your time to watch and comment, much appreciated! 😊
bark and bug holes, my kind of turning.... love it... thanks Phil...
Me too, Jack! 😊
That came out really nice, Phil! Really pretty, actually.
Cool, thanks, Billy! 😊
i'm really glad that you took some time to explain your process a little bit more. It's nice to have a peek behind the curtain. Lovely work as always.
Thank you, Kelley! 😊
This was very educational, Phil. Thank you for taking extra time to explain your thoughts and process on this lovely bowl.
Wormy white oak! Fantastic piece. I love the grain pattern of white oak. Thanks Phil.
Me too, thank you! 😄
😁Thank You Phil, Thank You Dennis😁....Hard Oak, I could see smoke drilling for the woodworm screw.

Ohhh, I might have to re-title this video, Tuffy, I like it! Thanks, Buddy! 😊
The dish turned out fantastic.
You explained to Dave how to use a couple of functions, fantastic that you realized his problem it warmed my heart.
Love
Carsten
LOL! 😊
I have never herded of French polish before. Thank you for explaining it just for me.🤓
😊
...love the grain and different characteristics in this piece...very well done!...👍
Matt
Thank you, Matt! 😊
Nice and natural, as usual, Phil's Creativity.
Thanks for teaching
Thank you for watching, Ahsan! 😊
Phil this end grain bowel is so cool. Love the grain pattern n bug patterns. Thank you for your creativity!!
Glad you like it! Thank you, Anne! 😀
Your bowl has a lot of character,,, seems to have a soul of it's own, Very cool personality . I love it,.
😊
Mr. Anderson, Once again a top notch job. A beautiful bowl.
Thank you, Phil! 😊
I am so glad you are doing well and you have healed the arm, shoulder. The bowl is beautiful.
😊
That really turned out to be a very neat piece. There is a lot going on and lots of features that add interest.
😊
A really simple depth gauge is a piece of rod in the tail stock locked in position, slide the tail stock up to the Chuck and mark the bed with a felt tipped pen.
Once you are turning you can keep sliding the tail stock up until you reach your mark.
Nice work.
Liz from Victoria, Australia.
Yup, lots of simple solutions, Liz. Just never think about it until I need one! 😊

Oops, Betsy ..sorry
Cool! Thank you, Betsy! 😊
I like Oak nearly always get good grain patterns, nice to see end grain turning for a change too. 😁
A little more work but, yeah, end grain can be nice for a change. 😊
I like to feel the wood grain as well. Wood is good! Lovely little piece.
Thank you, Doug! Cheers! 😊
I think that came out wonderful Phil and I love the bug Holes gives the peace a lot of character 👍👍
😊
Hi Phil...
Great job... great looking bowl...great tips...

I really like the bowl. The rings look like a flower in the bottom of the bowl. Such a lovely bowl.

You are a great teacher. I have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Wow, thank you kindly, Norm! 😊
Great work Phill. When you were tightening the piece on the worm screw and the wood popped I thought it was you again. My heart dropped. Then realized it was the dang wood.
I thought some might think so, Clyde. I should have mentioned it was just the wood meeting the jaws. 😊
Unusual, but I don't think I ever saw a end grain bowl. Great job Phil.
Now you have, Doug! 😊 Thank you!
French Polish! I haven't heard of that process for years. A good result, Phil.
Thank you, Richard! 😃
Phil. Brilliant timing.

So glad you're back on form. R
Sounds like you got pretty lucky, Richard! I think the Ash will turn much like this Oak did. 😊
From the side it looks like a big tasty pie. Another beauty Phil.
Yummm! Love me some pie! 😊
That's beautiful Phil and you did a great job turning it as well!!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I appreciate that, thank you! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop You're welcome Phil!!
Thank you, Phil. Thank you Dennis. Very enjoyable video. Can’t wait to get back in the shop again.
Must be driving you nuts, Valerie! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Absolutely frustrated.
Really cute bowl! I love the look of the end grain and the bug holes.
Thanks Phil!
Thank you, Texana! 😊
Very natural little bowl Phill. I like it a lot. Be careful with that arm my friend. We all want you turning. 😁 Best wishes.
😊

It's a beauty Phil - great to see you, my weekly fix! All the best to you
Many thanks, Paully! 😊
That is a lovely looking piece. Great work again Phil
Thanks, Jiggsy! 😃
I live in Bellingham, Wa. as I understand you live in Washington State. I enjoy your videos as a wood turner myself. Thank you
Thanks for watching, Barry! Yes, I'm in Pierce County. Howdy, neighbor! 😊
Nice work,you learn a lot just by watching.
Glad to hear that 😊
Really nice piece and makes a nice change to see some end grain turning too
Thanks, Colin! 😊
I like the criter marks in the wood. Thanks for sharingb the turn
Thank you, John! 😊
Love the live edge bowls and knots and bug holes just have to be part of it, looks great Phil.
All the best to you.
Regards Jim
Thank you, Jim! 😊
Phil, if it's not already official, it should be......You are our, woodturners, Bob Ross!
I'm honored, Scott, thank you! 😊
Thank you for explaining sheer scraping.
You bet! 😊
I enjoy watching others working with oak. Oak has such a distinctive grain pattern.
😊

Whatever works for you, Dennis! 😊
Another Phil masterpiece, unmistakably "you"; thank you for sharing, informing and entertaining.
Thank you, David! 😊
Thank you, You are a very good teacher; I've watched several of your videos and have learned from them.
Glad to hear that! Thank you, Larry! 😊
what a stunner! maybe my most favorite of all...absolutely gorgeous.
Wow, thank you, Colleen! 😊
I like the shape of this bowl! The live edge is great.
Thank you, Christine! 😊
Phil, I hope that arm of yours is getting better. That was a smashing wee bowl and really nice colouring and grain. Great job
Thanks 👍
This one took me back to my Nanas kitchen.
The outside bark looks like Indian pudding has spilled over in the oven. Thank you, really, thank you 💜🙏
Haha, I love the analogy, Beth, thank you! 😃
A very pretty little bowl! Thanks for the video Phil!
😊
Another work of art, Phil. I love the oak grain.❤
Thank you, David! 😊
Another fine piece by Phil! And I do remember Twilight Zone lol
😊
Nice bowl. I that you leave the bark and the bug holes. I also like that you like to feel the grain. Ps: its great to see you back in the shop.
Thank you, Russ! 😊

Went crosseyed watching that grain spin, but luckily I was able to rewatch it in reverse.
Lol!
HI Phil great doing an end grain bowl. beautiful.
Thank you, Manjit! Cheers!
Beautiful bowl and flower in the bottom.
Thank you very much! 😊
I’m watching this a year after you made it. Oak is ONE of my favorite woods and this is just beautiful. As always 😊 Barbara
Thanks again, Barbara! 😊
Once again great video. I love your explanation of why you do things the way you do as well. Thanks
I appreciate that, Andrew! 😊
Another beauty... I agree with you about being able to not only see, but feel the grain of the wood... and being able to laugh about the mistakes... Thanks for sharing!
My pleasure, thanks for watching! 😊
Very nice piece. I've yet to turn an end grained Bowl. The Twilight Zone reference cracked me up.
Good to know, John, thanks! Give one a try! 😊
Nice little bowl Phil. Well done! Thx and take care.
Thanks 👍
That is a beautiful bowl Phil, end grain rocks ☺️
😊
Very nice 👍
😊
I really enjoy watching you apply the skill of your craft but what makes it more special to me is your commentary. Like you I enjoy the nature of each piece including the bug holes and tracks. I have a supply of cherry the was stored in a barn for 50 years that the bugs got to and it still makes beautiful pieces. Thanks for being you Phil.
I guess bugs like Cherry as much as us humans do, Jim! 😊
Beautiful white oak bowl Phil.
😊
Beautiful piece Phil
Glad you’re feeling better and turning great pieces
😊
Nice looking bowl Phil. I Love Oak, no matter what kind it is. I have some live Oak and red Oak. Glad to see you doing better.
Thanks 👍 😊
I have always loved white oak!
Me too! 😊
Really nice! I am inspired to play with the really large white oak logs my father-in-law gave me last year I have not had time to do anything with.😊
😊
I don't see any faces or bugs, just a whole lot of beauty. Thank you for sharing in the creation of this wonderful bowl. 😊
And thank you for watching it, Gwynn! 😊
I am so happy to see you back!!! I hope this new video means your recovery is complete. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your amazing talent with the rest of us. 🤗
Thank you so much, Rosanne! 😊
Beautiful! I'm not a fan of white oak, but w/ your natural edge it is sooo pretty. Nice shape. I like your comment about feeling the wood grain, I'm w/ you. (If you want glass, get a glass bowl, right!)
Your good sense of humor is appreciated too ")
We are of the same mind, Joanna, thank you! 😃
The bowl is very nice as usual and thank you pointing out about the tenon.
My pleasure! Hope it was helpful, Lynda! 😄
Hi Phil this is a real lovely piece of wood I like the grain and the colouring in the wood. Thank you for explaining how you do things so it helps your viewers. I'm glad you kept as much of the bark as possible it really makes the bowl looks really gorgeous. You always make marvellous items and they all look fantastic and are masterpieces.

I'm glad you like it, Amanda! The arm is much better. Thank you! 😊
Another beautiful bowl Great work Phil
Thanks, Rich! 😊
Fantastic transformation Phill 👏👏👏👏
😊
I really like the end grain bowls.
I'm glad, Danny, thanks! 😃
Beautiful piece of oak. Great video- I like the way you talk through all of your steps and processes. Thanks Phil
I'm so glad, Chip, thank you! 😊
good afternoon, i am a new viewer of your spectacular wood turning. i am a wood carver from terrace BC Canada.i carve a lot of bowls out of alder wood. i find very helpful when checking the thickness/ depth of the bowl, I use the straight edge of a ruler and a measuring tape. i lay the ruler on edge and measure from the inside bottom of bowl and to the bottom edge of the ruler. in your case i would place the tool rest across the opening of the bowl and measure from the bottom of the bowl to the tool rest. calipers are handy tools to have but sometimes they can not be used
That would work, Geo. 😊 I just sighted along the rim, that works, too.
Great job! Thanks for the extra verbal details!
😊
Phil, I truly enjoy Thursday evenings. It is a pleasure to watch your turnings. Thank you.
Wow, thanks, Paul! 😊
Phyl, you are da man.
😊
Excellent bowl, Phil. Take care of that arm!
Thank you, Richard, the arm is much better! 😊
Phil, I’m a new woodturner. You’re video was incredibly informative. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for spending some time with me, Jay! 😊
Gorgeous bowl an excellent job Mr. Phil.
😊
I really like the way you keep worm holes and deformities. Beautiful as usual.
😊
Yet another beautiful piece like and thanks again for all you do
Thank you, Jason! 😊
Beautiful work, as always. You sound good. Hope you feel good too.
😊
Good to see you makin chips! Very nice bowl!
Thanks, Jeff! 👍
