RUclips suggested this older video that I somehow missed all those years ago and I'm glad it did. It's got the ultimate philosophy of life in there. It might not look as good as it does the day it was brand new, but, who cares. In the end, aren't we all like that?
"You want some entertainment? Go online and search for heat resistant finishes. Everybody has an opinion". "The truth of the matter is, I don't care one way or the other that much about it." You made my day. Keep up the good work Phil!
Hey Phil, you might not call that art but I do. I love the live edges you get. If I can ever get anything other construction grade lumber I plan to as much live edge as possible. Thank for the video. Yall have a wonderful day.
Awesome the oil will take the heat better than shellac heat will blister the shellac and it will scrape off. I use heat to remove shellac when refinishing a piece of real old wood furniture
I can relate....my scrap pile metal/wood, wow!!!..HA...Oh my gosh...more fun jobs than I could ever do in a couple lifetimes...What to focus on?? ...Life is such a joy making something new ...my imagination runs wild at times..ha...tm
Each of your videos gives me new opportunities. The use of additional pads is a godsend for me. Thank you very much. Shoot more, all your videos are interesting!
Nice job Phil. As a Yorkshireman who hates wasting anything, I can say with certainty that you are welcome to join the ranks of honourary Yorkshire folk across the globe for your creativity in this piece. Stay safe. the
Ah, proud to be an honorary (Yank spelling) Yorkshireman, Paul! Waste not want not, we always say! Thank you for your great comment, much appreciated! Phil
Just a great idea. I've thrown away so many that I could have done the same thing. Thanks for all of your ideas. I use many that I have watched you do. Great job!!
Great video! I like the chances you take with so called scraps. It’s what makes turning interesting. Your commentary is awesome! You are an inspiration to all turners! You take the chance on what most would throw out, and make something out of it. Great vision!
Since there won't be a video this week, I went back to an older video I haven't seen (from before I subscribed) to get my fix. Another good looking piece. I really like that you used what would have been scrap to make it.
Thanks for diving into an older video, William! I still have this piece and it's mating bowl from which it was cut. I keep the two together because they still mate up almost perfectly. Phil
A great way to use a normally wasted piec and I would love to see that on a wall too. You may not think you are an artist, but all your pieces are art worthy. Keep up the good work. 😃
That'll work, Phil. Great use of something that would otherwise end up in the trash bin or fire pit. Trivets don't really need to be shiny. The satin look is just fine. Billy
I'm with you, Phil, on wood waste. I want to save every extra piece. I am not to the point of making toothpicks yet. I like your approach to projects. Well done!
Hi I have just started subscribing to your Channel iam in Kent uk I like your approach to wood turning your not afraid to show mistakes or adjustments as you create your work hope to see lots more videos regards mike
Very nice, Phil. I have a piece of raw birch very similar to this and saved it knowing I was going to use it but didn't know how. You solved that mystery for me. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and your great comment, Jennifer! Depending on size, you could also make a change dish or if they are small, coasters. I'm so glad I could give you an idea of what to do with your leftovers, that alone, makes my day! Phil
Another fantastic fly by the seat of your pants production from phil.....and it looks pretty cool and most of all very useful and I really like the finish of Danish oil I have been using it loads
Phil, I truly enjoy all of your videos. I have used many of your tips for my own wood turnings. I am looking for suggestions about how to more effectively turn on my vintage lathe. I have several other vintage tools, besides the lathe that I have rehabbed as well and then use them all in my shop. My 1939 lathe has no adjustable speed control or reverse and only 4 fixed speeds via changes in the drive pulley belt @ 990, 1330, 2500 & 3840. Measured by an electronic tachometer. Thanks for your great videos and I look forward to many more.
There is lots of information on the web about converting to motors from a treadmill, Robert. Don't know if that interests you and I don't really know much about it but I know it has been done. Still won't get you reverse but will get slower speeds and electronic speed control. 😊
Thank you, Jim. I usually sand to 400 grit. I think this one is Shellac finish. When using that, I usually start with a shellac based sanding sealer, applying two coats and steel wool in between coats with 0000 grade. Then usually two coats of shellac, again steel wool between coats. I apply all of it with a rag and sometimes a brush to get into nooks and crannies. You have to wait for all coats to dry, usually 30-60 minutes. I usually cover whatever finish I'm using during my videos. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. I hope this has been helpful. Phil
I like the idea of having a raised edge in order to pick up 'hot stuff'. I predict many 'cutoffs' of logs will be saved to be used for this application. I know my box of "I just can't throw away cutoffs and pieces" will have its inventory reduced. Thanks.
Great work as always Phil it’s always nice to make something out of what could well have been firewood. You know what they say about asking woodturners questions? Ask ten wood turners a question and you’ll get 11 answers!
I like it Phil! I also like the Watco Danish oil. It is a great finish. And cracks like wrinkles give character and maybe distinction. So I am in good shape. Just hanging out in the beautiful USA. Not sure if my scheduled uploads worked. I know I have to fix one of them. As soon as I get WiFi. Gary

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Thanks Phil. We just got off the Durango train ride that goes way up the mountain. Will ride it back in a couple of hours. So many trees to look at. Lots of Aspen and they won't let me cut one down.
I use a worm screw every chance I get, Chris. It's my preferred method. If the top is shaped that I simply can't, I usually turn it between centers. I hope that answers your question.
Absolutely fantastic. (What's a trivet--hotpad or a stool is what I thought--guess there are other kinds of trivets)? Wonder if you've ever used Sugru to fill in cracks. I think it works pretty well--once cured it can be worked and finished without a problem. Can I attach pictures? I could show you a bowl I'm still working on. Again, you put up the best turning videos out there. Thanks!
Glad you like it, Roo, thank you! Yes, a trivet is what a lot of folks call a hot pad. I typically don't fill cracks unless they are structural in nature. I prefer to just work with Mother Nature and whatever she has provided me. You can't post pictures here on RUclips, I wish you could! I'm so glad you are enjoying the videos, thank you! Phil
Thank you again, Hike a Photo! I like this one because it's cut from a piece that I had turned a small bowl from and they still match up, perfectly! Phil
Hi Phil, Nice save! I had a piece of burl that was almost impossible to mount safely due to the irregular way it was cut.It was full of cracks and checks and it ended up a lot thicker then I wanted but I was getting nervous doing it so it is what it is! It looks very similar to your trivet but has a small bowl/cup instead of the coves and beads on your trivet! We think a like when it comes to saving cracked pieces of nice wood! Great job on the trivet! Thanks for the video,,, Tom
It's probably our age, Tom. We don't want to waste anything. I have some tiny pieces of hardwood I just keep hanging onto just in case... Thank you so much for continuing to watch and comment, I really appreciate your time! Phil
the more coats of Danish oil you put on the more shine you get. you can also put a coat of polly over if you really want. just need to make sure the Danish oil is fully cured
Nice. Good video. Phill you are the bees knees. What does that mean anyway. So I looked it up Bee's knees is a slang term for something excellent or outstanding, popularized in the 1920s. That’s you excellent and outstanding! Thanks Phil. Dan
Hi Jerry, thank you! It you watch this video you will see an overview of my sharpening setup at 3:57 and then you can see it in use at 9:37 ruclips.net/video/PUGFEgJTogA/видео.html Phil
Nice piece as always, Phil. I love your “who cares” mentality! In Denmark we say “Pyt!”, and a lot of people could use the Pyt-button more, in my humble opinion. Keep turning, I always look forward to Your videos. Brgds Lars
Thank you so much, Lars! Sometimes I wonder if I'm offending people with that attitude but then I think to myself, "who cares?" LOL! I love the idea of a Pyt button. Could use that all over the internet! Thanks for the laughs, Lars, much appreciated! Phil
What a great little project Phil, I too subscribe to the “waste not want not” school of life. How often have we said “ if only I hadn’t thrown that out “ ?!. I think you can’t go far wrong with Danish Oil, I have used it countless times and I’m still here to tell the story, If it’s a piece that is going to be in contact with food regularly then Butcher’s Block Oil is a worthy alternative. Regards from the UK Geof
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Yep! Kind of confused me for a minute. Was I commenting or was I doing a video? Wish I had your talent and vision for seeing the potential in a project.
I never heard at called a trivet ....I always called a pot holder like Joe B . said .....Very good idea to use a a piece that would be scrapped........ I have you smaller pieces for cup holders / coasters . Danish oil not too bad.... will resist Heat but if you use it and you start smelling like something is cooking . Well ..... probably will smell nice . I have a few pieces same diameter from the black cherry tree . maybe I'll make one too .... Does look so nice....... What are you going to do with the rest of the log ? any ideas........... Very well could be world's first live-edge trivet .
Last weeks piece, the live edge end grain bowl, is what I made after I cut this piece off, Bruce. I still have a couple feet to go on that log. Not sure what I'll use it for but rest assured, I'll use it! I like the idea of coasters from cut-off's. I'll have to get on that as a Christmas gift for someone, thanks for the great idea! Phil
Most of the metal ones that I use have been purchased from eBay, Jim. They are no longer made. The newer plastic model can be purchased from several online retailers. The best selection and price I have found is here: supergrit.com/products/products_woodworking-sandoflex Hope that helps! Phil
Ahh cmon we all know it’s not a trivet,it’s a landing pad for your tortoise, 🐢 when he flys in with his helmet on, (yes,I’m crazy 😜) .lol 😜.well done young fellow .🦖
Well, you see that little handle on there, Arturo? That matches (because it was cut from) the piece last week when you said that was the cover for the tortoise's head! You are cracking me up, lately, keep it up! Phil
Thank you, James! I keep it with the piece I turned the week before this one. I cut this from that, before turning that bowl. When you put them together, they still match up, perfectly! Phil
Funny note, had no idea what a “ trivet” was so I had to ask my wife of 40 years what it was. Was so sweet to let me know you idiot it was a hot plate holder. Who would have thunk! HA! 🤪
Me again,, I would have plugged the screw hole with a darker wood then made cycle of drill holes plugged with different woods from the scraps box,,. Regards Alf
Phil, you couldn’t make a “utility” piece if you tried. Sorry, but you’re just cursed to be an Artist, who also happens to have some extraordinary wood turning skills ; )
Enjoying your older turns. I'm glad when I'm led to those I missed before.
Cool, thanks! 😊

I love your video's. I'm just learning and watching you is helping me! Thank you....and you make me laugh!
Very cool, Crystal, thank you! 😊
I *knew* I should've saved all those cut-off ends! I won't be able to walk through my shop if I keep watching videos like this. :)
Haha, it's true! 😊
I like the way you respect your wood pieces and bring out the best that you possibly can.
Very kind of you, Kennith, thank you! 😊
I like the color of the bark. Trivet are so useful! It is beautiful in its own way.
Thank you, Judith! 😊
Looks great, Phil. Perhaps a pair of trivets...there's another end in the future.
😊
Nice job Phil that shows the potential in nearly any piece of wood, cherry to nice to discard anyway.
Yup, throw nothing away! LOL!

This is a great Christmas present idea & also away to use the cut off ends. Thanks Phil.
Very welcome, Chris, thanks for watching! 😄

Awesome the oil will take the heat better than shellac heat will blister the shellac and it will scrape off. I use heat to remove shellac when refinishing a piece of real old wood furniture
Thanks for the info, Wade!

Phil
Phil, when do you use a worm wood screw and when to use a spindle chuck? What’s the determining factor, is it thickness or size of the wood?
I use a worm screw every chance I get, Chris. It's my preferred method. If the top is shaped that I simply can't, I usually turn it between centers. I hope that answers your question.
Phil parece tão fácil seu trabalho. Mas vou continuar assistindo o vídeo.

Phil
If you don't want to lose the bark, why not move from the outside towards the center? That actually helps push the bark on
I would invite you to do that on an end grain piece, Gregory. You are correct, of course, on a side grain piece and I demonstrate that, often. 😊
I again enjoyed watching your video. You have made cool stuff. Thanks!
Thank you again, Hike a Photo! I like this one because it's cut from a piece that I had turned a small bowl from and they still match up, perfectly!

I had a piece of burl that was almost impossible to mount safely due to the irregular way it was cut.It was full of cracks and checks and it ended up a lot thicker then I wanted but I was getting nervous doing it so it is what it is!

Phil, you couldn’t make a “utility” piece if you tried. Sorry, but you’re just cursed to be an Artist, who also happens to have some extraordinary wood turning skills ; )
Haha, thank you, Mark, I appreciate your fun comment! 😊
Trop de bla bla bla. American....
