Hi Mike. Yet another lovely piece of turned artwork.
I'm not up to speed with comments made but if anyone wants to watch and listen to something that's not real they should go to the theatre! This is real life and skillful. Thanks for another great session.
Thank you Kevin ... and thanks for saying the bit at the end too :)
Take care

Well done Mike! Such a simple design to show off that amazing spalted piece of wood. Keep on a keeping on, we love what you are doing. Take care mate!
Hi Brett and thank you so much.
Hope all is well with you and yours my long lost friend!
Take care
Mike
How people don't like the way you present things is beyond me. Calm, methodical, easy to follow. What more can a man ask for. Great form and I suspect I shall be flattering you by imitating it to the best of my abilities.
Thank you John for you very kind words mate, much appreciated.
Beautiful work. As a beginner turner, I very much appreciate you taking the time to make videos and inspire viewers.
Beautiful Mike , my wife always says when I’m watching one of your videos “ he has a lovely calming voice “ and I am not going to argue with SWMBO. And don’t forget even Lions have to put up with Fleas.
Beautiful piece of work Mike. Don't change a thing in your videos. I very much enjoy them!
Thank you Steven ... too old in the tooth to change I'm afraid ;)
Mike there is nothing wrong with the way you do things. You are just fantastic, ignore whoever said anything. This hollow form is stunning and magnificent, the spalting and grain in it is awesome.
Thank you Kobie much appreciated my friend.
Take care
Mike
Could watch you all day! Fairly new to wood turning and I absolutely love it
Making loads of mistakes lol but hopefully also learning from then. I find you an inspiration.You make it all look so straight forward and manageable to us home taught Wood turners. So I thank you for making all your wonderful intuitive videos and long may they continue 👍👍
Hi Nick and thank you for your kind words. We learn by our mistakes .... hopefully ... I too am self taught and find that practic, practice, and a bit more practice is the key. Enjoy your turning journey. Stay safe.
Oh Mike, I can’t imagine anyone finding your videos boring, I love watching you work. That piece of wood is stunning, lucky wife I must say.
Once again, take care from South Africa
Thank you Val, your long and stalwart support is always very much appreciated.
take care
Mike
Very nice project, and what a man cave 😊. As someone who failed woodwork miserably in school, I value all the advice and explaining that the turners do on RUclips. Please keep talking through the way you do things, it must take a lot of effort to edit each project and I would like to say "thanks!"
Thank Tony Johnathan, appreciate your kind words and support.
Cheers
Mike
I was having a tough work day yesterday, but when I saw the intro to the video, I had a good chuckle and it made my day much brighter! Loved it! I could spend hours watching your spindle work. The wood is beautiful and you made an amazing lidded box! Great job Mike! - Ed
Happy to oblige mate ... making you laugh that is! ;)
Thank you very much appreciated Ed
Take care
Mike
Great work Mike. Love watching you making beautiful turned items. Nothing wrong with your voice, good British accent that. Don't change a thing.
Thanks Mike appreciate that my friend
Cheers
Mike
With your introduction, Mike, I was going to just tune right out and move along to some other channel with a more interesting host, but couldn't find one! So, I watched. I don't think anyone handles a spindle gouge as well as you do. I've always liked that about you. This is a very understated, shapely, beautiful piece and I love it! Fun video, too! Great job, my friend!
Phil
Hi Phil, and thank you so much, I appreciate that from a turner that I have the utmost respect for ... can't think who that is now ... oh yes ... it's YOU :)
Take care and thanks for watching my friend
Cheers
Mike
Beautiful turning Mike! The lidded box looks great :) Thank you for sharing it with us.👌👍😎JP
Thank you JP, always great to hear from you my friend
Cheers
Mike
Your very welcome Mike! Thanks! Hope your having a great week! 😎
Hi Mike. Beautiful piece of wood and a great turning. You and Phil Anderson are my favorite wood turners. And you keep right on talking. I love your accent. Jerry
Hi Jerry and thank you I really appreciate your support and kind words.
Take care
Mike
Once again Mike you took a beautiful pice of wood and made it into a beautiful useful pice of wood. I’m sure it will be put to good use. You have inspired me to take some time this fall and do nothing but practice on my finial work. It just drives me crazy that you make it look so simple.
Thanks for sharing another great pice with us.
Take Care
Tim
Thank you Tim I appreciate you saying that.
Don't tell anyone .... but ... I snapped the first finial!!!...lol
Take care
Mike
Thanks Mike. I never fail to learn something from your videos. You explain things very well. I love that spalted piece. I made something similar from spalted birch but your piece really has some beautiful markings. Please keep doing what you do.
Thank you for your kind supportive words Dan.

Thank you Huw very much appreciated mate.
Cheers
Mike
Mike, you crack me up! I loved your intro. How many times have I wanted to tell those clicking the dislike button to blow it out their butts and find another video creator to watch??!! Great job, friend!!
Oh, and the lidded box is awesome, too. That is a seriously beautiful piece of wood. I really love what Mother Nature can do when she's in a good mood. I just wish she was in a good mood more often. Thanks for sharing both your turning talents and the laugh at the intro!
Happy turning,
.....Gord
Hi Gord, and thank you my friend, as always I really appreciate your support and friendship.
Next videos intro is a little snide too, and then that'll be an end to it ... lol
Take care mate
Mike
Hey Mike like others have said besides your skill at turning your voice is very relaxing to listen to and really adds realism to your videos as certainly in my case i find turning very relaxing so your videos are an extension of that so carry on doing what you do. its a shame that these days too many people simply have to have something to throw shade at rather than just either not watching or keeping their thoughts to themselves. that aside another great project this turned out great a lovely piece of wood expertly turned into something fabulous by you.
Hi Lee, and thank you very much for your kind words, I really do appreciate them
Thanks for watching and take care
Cheers
Mike
That’s a beautiful piece of wood Mike and a lovely pot. Thank you for the shout out much appreciated mate
Thank you Phil, the pleasure is mine mate.
Cheers
Mike
Your videos are extremely helpful, for that i am internally grateful.
I brought a mini lathe & a set of tools a couple months ago, had no i idea what any of the tools do letterlone what they were called. Betwen you & a couple other woodworker's on here it's made my learning curve some what easier.
Thank you ever so much for your subscription. ☺☻☺☻
Thanks for your kind words, enjoy your turning journey.
Cheers
Mike
Don’t change a thing Mike. Speak all you want. I love your manner and you are you. U B U
Thank you Mel much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Great start to the video. After the recent comments, I loved it!

Cheers
Mike
Always enjoy your videos and talk away my friend
Thank you Joe ... I think I just might carry on nattering you know! ;)
Thanks for watching
Cheers
Mike
Very pretty. Very nicely done, as usual. Thanks. I cannot turn anything as delicate as that finial. My motor skills are too old and worn out! Enjoyed as usual.
Thank you Alan, much appreciated. You know what they say "you're never too old" .... come to think of it ... load of rubbish, that saying ;)
Thanks for watching and take care
Cheers
Mike
Amazing work. That piece of wood is stunning.
Thank you very much.
Mike, as always it's pleasant and helpful to watch your videos. I am new to woodturning and have learned a lot since I subscribed. Like so many have said, just keep what you're doing, in style and substance, and pay no attention to the naysayers. The spalted beech lidded box is beautiful.
Hi Bob and thank you for you very kind words and support, they are much appreciated.
take care
Mike
You have a wonderful voice; and one I enjoy hearing. Love your projects also. This one is one I want to copy!
thank you very much Patti, appreciate you saying that.
take care
Mike
I have commented about music being played, that I don't care for it. I usually have on headphones, and so many people will have it quite a bit louder than their speaking voice. If I mute it, I may miss something that may be interesting. I have always appreciated your vids, and that you have taken the time to reply to my questions and comments. Thanks Mike.
Hi Joseph and thank you for your honest thoughts, I really appreciate that.
Your support is always very much appreciated.
Take care
Mike
Very lovely box...the finial is just perfect!

Cheers
Mike
Man, that is some very nice wood...! Great work Mike. I just got the new lathe set up and running a day or so ago. My shop is very small, so when Laguna came out with the 12/16, with a bed extension and out board turning capabilities I bought one. So far it has not disappointed me.
Thank you Tarry ... and enjoy your Laguna my friend ... I'm sure you will :)
Take care
Mike

I have said this times many Mike, You, Sir, are a master of your craft. I love the spalted beech bowl, lid and purple heart finial. Take know notice of the trolls. They are just wanting a reaction from their posts. Most likely green with envy of your skills.
Ian ... thank you I very much appreciate your kind words and support mate.

Very well turned Mike, a beautiful piece indeed. Who would have guessed the purpleheart finial would look so good. I notices a couple of subtle changes in your technique there, will discuss on Grit & Sheen! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you William,, the wood is the star for sure mate. I often try slight changes with some things ... sometimes the work better ... and sometimes they don't ... lol.
Cheers
Mike
Mike that is a very beautiful piece,I love the wood it has so much character in it and you did a wonderful job on it. I have just started doing a little wood working but I mainly do wooden boxes because I don't think I could turn anything to scared to.
Thank you Maria ... try a bit of turning ... you know you want to ;)

Well done mate
Thank you Haydn much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Mike,it must be soul destroying to be personally criticised as you were.we have all learned from you over the years and become better woodturners for the videos you put out.
The trouble is that it’s become so easy to dish out stupid and unnecessary remarks on social media and think your clever,where in reality they are highlighting themselves as ignorant bullies.i would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the help your videos have given me and I’m sure to most of the woodturning fraternity.keep up the good and essential work mate
Regards
Les
And so say most of us!!!
Hi Les, and thank you, I really appreciate you saying that.
I have learned over the years to do as you say, largely ignore theses keyboard warriors. But ... sometimes I feel it necessary to share there comments to entertain my true followers .. lol
Take care
Mike
Hi Mike, loved your video as always , you have learned me so much about wood turning, you are the best, I look forward to your next video
Thank you William your kind words and support are very much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Mike another perfect video. Nice work and beautiful Lidded Box.
Thank you Lucien
Take care
Mike
Very nice Mike, the spalting is stunning and I love the contrast of the Purple Heart finial. Your good lady will be delighted.
All the best,
Geof
Thanks Geof much appreciated mate
Cheers
Mike
Yep. A fine piece well made
Thank you Andy :)
Take care

Lovely piece Mike, both the shape and the wood. I for one really love watching your videos, so don’t change. Best wishes from a fellow Taff.

Nice work Mike!
Thank you Aleksey
Cheers
Mike
Stunning piece of wood. Your box design accentuates that nicely. Well done.
Thank you John much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Beautiful workmanship, Mike. I like your finishes, too. Most of mine are sanding sealer and wax, believe it or not, and they appear to work well for my pieces.
Thank you David, i think we all have our "go to" finishes.
If it ain't broke ... fix it anyway!! ;)
take care
Mike
That's is a beautiful piece of art. I always love watching and learning from such a master craftsman. Keep the videos coming so I can learn more.
Thank you for your very kind words Stanley.

Mike

Thank you Ward
Take care
Mike
So...I’m in the dark here. I’m not sure what was said, but may I just say thank you, Mike! You’re videos help me a lot! I wish I were a better wood turner. If anyone put you down for your videos, they can stick a spindle gouge up their nose.
LOLOLOL... very aptly put Michael ;)
Thanks for your support mate.
Cheers
Mike
Great project Mike! Thanks for what you do and for sharing it with us!
Thank you Steve, very much appreciated
Cheers
Mike
Remarkable bit of spalting Mike. The opening theatricals suggested your dust protection might have failed! Lol. Very nice. Bernard.
That it is Bernard ... and a big LOL re your parting remark! ;)
Take care
Mike
