- Turning little scraps into something useful or artful is some of the most fun of woodturning. Turning Manzanita is not fun but that's for another day. LOL! I needed a quick and easy project and this little scrap turned out to be just the ticket. Lots of fun, quick and easy, great gift idea or craft show sale, this is the ideal project. Finished in Feed & Wax.

You are a teacher, man, ...a real teacher: You are not afraid to take some risks, solving the obstacles that eventually you need to face.
Take care, Phil, and thank you.
Thank you, Robert! 😊
You should do a show on Tuffy - how you meet, the pieces you have turned using Tuffy’s wood and tools, wood you didn’t turn and why, etc. It is always a special show when Tuffy is involved.
That would be a lot of fun, Peter. Tuffy and I have never met in person. We are about a thousand miles apart. But he sure has given my channel a boost with all of his creativity and amazing pieces of wood he has found scattered around his hiking trails. He is an interesting man, for sure! 😊
A sow’s ear skillfully turned into a silk purse!
Haha, thanks, Gary! 😊
Well, firstly I have a confession; Thursday is 'look forward to a Phil masterclass' day, and even a 'quick and easy project' does not disappoint. I just love your style, your chat, and your eye for the unusual. I have said it before, and I say it again, you entertain me, educate me and inspire me to have a go - you are a true master, Sir! Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, David! 😊
Yes me too.
Me three
Me four
Watching Phils work is calming..
Phil, I am 79 years old and last September I bought a MIDI lathe and trimmings. I did this because I loved to watch and hear your commentary. I have to do my turning sitting down due to back operation. I was going crazy sitting in the house. Turning has helped me mentally and physically. I am standing up a little. Thanks for my life awakening. Lots of luck turning. Keep turning and so will I. Thanks
Such good news, Ronnie! Even standing a little, fantastic! I like to think the more you do the easier it will become but I'm no expert. However you do it, turning is a great hobby and it sure is better to be busy. Good for you, my friend! 😊
I am a 71yr an only been turning for about 2 years. I am a 100% Disabled TDIU Vietnam Veteran. I am using Woodturning for rehabilitation. I have a mental disability and partially paralyzed on my right side. Woodturning has taught me that all things can be accomplished with practice and some patients. It has improved my self confidence and be proud of my accomplishments. Ther is no doubt that Phill Anderson is the best teacher and not afraid to make a mistake, He presents it a way that ALL turners of every level can understand. I cant give him enough credit that I have learned SO MUCH from the very best. I am in the process of exposing woodturning to all my DAV Veterans that they can improve themselves. THANK YOU PHIL ANDERSON KEEP ON TURNING
Using the oddest wood pieces to make something nice out of it is the most fun in wood turning. Well done once again, phil
Agreed! 😊
Am at the 2 minute mark. PHIL! Your voice is JUST what I needed at the moment.
Lucky US, Red! 😊
While others were out watching fireworks displays and celebrating their independence, I was at home watching your videos again and declaring my own independence. Each and every time I watch them I learn something new!!!! I learned how important scraping is even on a small piece it removed all the tool marks at the top of bowl. If I dont achieve the bowl profile I want, I will turn it into a small (BIRDS MOUTH BOWL) I will put a Nest, Bird, and a Bird Egg in it and that is my version of a Birds Mouth Bowl. This video would be one of my favorites to watch!!!!! You were ale to turn a throwaway piece into a thing of beauty!!! I also LOVE to turn a small piece into something stunning. 💚🤎🤎🤎 KEEP ON TUNING
Good to know, Howard, thank you! 😊
A key holder by my front door...
Would always give me a smile when I leave in the morning and come home at night...
Very very very cute...lol
Love that! 😊
Spoon rest, ring holder, penny catcher, pin cushion, it’s just super adorable and sweet. Thank you!
Great ideas, Tracy, thanks! 😊
Crotch wood is always interesting, and this little guy had them all over. Amazing what can be done with kindling.
😊
You’re right, it’s a cutie. Your videos, even the short ones, always make me smile.
Thank you, Patricia! 😊
That looks great, you have proved that there is no such thing as a throw away piece
😊
Big,small and everything in between, another masterpiece by “The Master” ! Beautiful..
😊
I love this, so cute! From fire starter to pin cushion holder! 😂
😊
Very nicely done. A place for your keys.
😊
Caroline says it’s cute! She thinks it would be a great bedside table dish for rings and earrings. Looks great, Phil!
Cool, thanks, David and Caroline! 😊
A great piece from what some people would throw away. Just goes to show there is no such thing as scrap wood. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍
Very true! 😊
Nice! Making something out of nothing is magic!
And fun! 😊
It’s so cute and very beautiful Phil take care and god bless
😊
I never thought in a million years you could making something out of that scrap piece of wood , but I should have nown
😊
I love watching your work. it's fun and informative. Is anyone else old enough to remember when masks and face shields weren't a requirement in shop classes? We could provide our own goggles, if we wanted but always got a nose full of sawdust.
Haha, so true, I remember that, Virginia! 😊
I fish with a guy who is so good I think he could pull a trout out of your toilet. You Mr Phil I think could turn a bowl out of air. This little pin cushion bowl was fun to watch come to life. Thank you for a fun watch
Glad you enjoyed it, J D, thanks for watching! 😊
Howard's woodworking products are fine items. The refinishers are what I am most familiar with. My grandfather refinished items and his answer was always beeswax. Some things never change.
I kinda forgot about but I'm glad I remembered for this piece, it was perfect, Linda. Thank you!
Making it fun is very important. I do my be wood turning for the my enjoyment. I love this little dish and I see change in it.
Right on, Jean! 😊
You never cease to amaze Mr. A. Thumbs up given. Your ability to see the beautiful object buried deep in a lump of ugly is unbelievable. I envy your insight!
Thank you, Arthur! 😊
Wow Phil that wee piece looks amazing, you have great vision. Thank you for taking time to share and inspire!
😊
I would put it on the table in the entry and let people puzzle over it. I like that you showed us how to consider even the smaller odd pieces of wood before tossing them in the firewood pile.
They are some of my most fun turnings, Daryl! Something from nothing! 😊
Phil, I love your commentary. Pin cushion!
So many good ideas, Crystal! 😊
It’s a great dish to lay your keys. Fun to watch.
😊
Love this cute little bowl. Goes to show that you should never overlook a piece of wood, no matter the size. It all has amazing potential. Awesome watching you turn another work of art.
😊
I will agree with the cute part. 🙂 Beautiful.
😊
Phil, this cutiepetoutie would be perfect for my earrings and my skinny watch. It'd go on my bedside table.
Cool! 😊
That’s about the cutest little dish I’ve seen!! Very cool.
I think so too! 😊
Gives me a nudge to working on some of the zillion tiny, oddly shaped chunks I have on my shelves. Thanks!
Wonderful, have fun, Michael! 😊
Already got yourself a ton of comments!! We’re sll faithful followers!
After seeing all your videos, you’ve caused me to order a Sand-O-Flex! $$$!
Killer job, Phil!!👌👍👏👏👏
Wow, they are hard to come by lately, Roy. I'm sure you will love it! 😊
Beautiful little piece! I might use it for earrings and rings.
Great idea! 😊
I think it's great. Love seeing small things being made. Great video.
Cool, thanks, Alex! 😊
Well thanks to you I have cleaned out the firewood, now I am going to go look at my scrap/ends box. Enjoy your videos so much. You mean the world to a lot of turners out here, we mention you a lot! Thank just for being you, you make the world a better place Phil! I would be honored to call you my friend.
Friends we are, Torrey, thank you for that! 😊
So be it, friends we are. Now my world is just a little better. Take care Phil, talk to you soon!
Pin cushion holder??? Great idea. So happy to see your new turning. You are missed when you're not hear. Don't know how you're feeling but you sound great and still have the gift. Stay safe Uncle Phil..
😊
Good morning, Phil. Absolutely perfect! Always look forward to your videos with your show and tell formats. Well done.
Thank you, Ray! 😊
Absolutely fabulous, a cute treasure!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much 😊
Just goes to show all wood is turnabull great vision once again
Absolutely, Gregg! 😊
HI Phil. ANother good job. LIke they say, little things come in big packages, Way to go.
Thanks 👍
You never disappoint. Thank You
😊
You inspire me to mess with odd bits of wood! Thanks!
Perfect! 😊
It's a pretty little dish indeed!!! Great job and you're right about a pin cushion. ♥️😊
😃
It is just adorable,love it.
Thanks Jennie! 😊
Phil you sure can turn firewood 🪵 into a work of art. Your skill and vision inspires us all. As for pin cushion No No No 🔮
😊
Phil, it's good to hear you chuckle during your video. I think that bowl reminds me of the wood trinkets bought in the tourist traps on our vacations during the 60s. It needs gold leaf letters that might say souvenir of where ever. I'm in my 60s and still have a few of those items. Thanks for bringing back fond memories...
Thank you, James! 😊
Beautiful little piece. Perfect lil' gift idea Phil
😊
That little dish turned out just GEORAGRS. I ran across this video because it really caught my eye, I turn a tiny crotch bowl that turned ok and of course not as beautiful as yours, Another example that beautiful thing also come in small packages and you know how to make it look as good as a large piece. You make me interested in turning all wood. ❤ KEEP ON TURNING
This is great, thank you! 😃
Cute little bowl with lovely color and grain..........well done and thanks!
Cheers Al
Thanks, Al! 😊
Nice jewelry holder for a bedside table. Nice piece!
Thank you! 😊
Looks great, Phil!
Thanks, Billy! 😊
And so, the Popeil Pocket Lathe makes its debut. Making micro-bowls has never been easier than with the Popeil Pocket Lathe. This lathe runs on two AAA batteries, fits in your pocket, and, like the Popeil Pocket Fisherman, this lathe will only be available for purchase on late-night infomercials. I'm glad you had the opportunity, Phil, to demonstrate the prototype, with great results, I might add. I think micro-bowls are going to be big! 🙂
If only it were possible, Paul! Can you imagine pulling a lathe out of your pocket at the doctors office? LOL!
I've been watching your channel for about 3ish years now and I do a lot of natural edge stuff. I'd never heard of a Sand-O-Flex until I saw you using yours. I finally bought one and I love it. Played with it for the first time yesterday. Don't know why I waited so long. Thanks Phil.
They are just indispensable for these kinds of turnings, as you've found out, Brian. Thanks for watching and commenting! 😊
Hey Phil, fantastic Spring day here in New Orleans. Definitely spent most of it outside in my hammock, looking at the woods, enjoying the sounds with my puppy boys and now relaxing with this sweet little piece of nature art. Thanks for being the perfect “cherry on top” of this glorious day!
Peace brother.
Sounds great, Debbie! Snowing a little here, today! LOL!
What a cute little dish. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Lillie! 😊
Aww that is a cute little dish.yes I can see it holding a pin cushion 🧶🪡
😊
Good Morning , Phil ,
I am very sorry that I have been missing lately , I could tell that as soon as you saw that piece of wood ,
The gears started to turn in that
Creative Brain of yours ! And as normal , You have brought it to life ,
Even as it tried to hide in front of your face ! You indeed are a MASTER !
Take Care and Be Safe
Thanks for watching, Larry! 👍
Nice little project! Also, to me it looks like it could be a pipe holder. Thanks for the ideas
😊
Hi Phil, Well, you did it again. Turning a sows ear into s silk purse. I think it would make a great dish for your car keys or a pocket change bowl. It would work for a pin cushion but it would hide the great grain and figure etc.
Take Care, Myles
I think you are right about hiding the grain, Myles. I'll think of something smaller! 😊
Beautiful little dish. I would use it on the dresser to hold my keys.
😊
Great job Phil 👍
😊
Phil that is a sweet little bowl. I looked up the hardness on Manzanita it's hardwood. This little scrap turned out really pretty. Love my Thursdays when Phil has a video. God Bless you I hope you are feeling better.
Thank you, Jane! 😊
Perfect as a soap dish. Great video.
😊
Makes me want to check out my scrap. Great little dish.
Go for it! 😊
Pincushion Perfect!
Now I just need the pincushion, Audie! 😊
Another great turning
Thanks again, Robert! 😄
My pin cushion would fit in there just right. Love it love it.
😊
Nice little project Phil. Always enjoy watching and learning a thing or 2 from your stuff. Great job as always. Take care and have a good one.
Thank you, you too! 😊
Nice lil bowl
😊
Perfect for a few wrapped candies beside my chair!
Not big enough for candy, Chrissy, at least not the way I like to eat it! LOL!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I have to LIMIT myself to a few pieces at night! Bc I’m a candy freak! I make my own, old fashioned stained glass hardy candy & all kinds of chocolates. Which is a good AND bad thing bc when I want candy, I make it!
@@chrissyfrancis8952 Wow, how cool!
I am Shirley. I watch you on my husband's account. I absolutely love the manzanita bowl you turned. I have a pin cushion or three but I'd prefer it on my beside table to hold my rings and watch while I sleep. Thank you for all your delightful videos.
That is awesome, Shirley, thank you! 😊
Thanks Phil, Now I gotta go outside and search through the pile of wood for our outdoor firepit! Piece came out great!
You never know what you might find, Hotrod! 😊
Diffinetly a pin cushion Phil. That was fun. You gave me a bunch of ideas. Thanks. I hope to see you next week.
😊
Very nice. I can see my wife putting a piece like this in a prominent place in our home with a few acorns and/or something else that has been found placed in the dish.
Thanks for sharing your talents
"for all to enjoy". Looking forward to all your future postings and the beautiful results you bring out of the natural wood.
Thank you very much, Clifford! 😊
Wow you are emesing. Respekt dubbel. Wow.
Thank you! 😊
Fun to see what those little pieces can become. Ought to create a bit of conversation at least. Beautiful!
😊
Phil, you can see and extract beauty from just about any chunk of wood! I truly envy your talents and greatly appreciate your videos.
😊
If this proves anything it is that their is no such thing as waste wood especially in your hands Phil excellent work again
😊
Excellent! Thank you Tuffy! Now drill two small holes in the bottom (spread apart) for two rare earth magnets, then glue them in. Then it will be a pin dish, paper clip dish, or small screw/ metal bits holder. Add more double stick, and you could use it on the lathe or elsewhere in the shop. Hope you are healing up well.
Really good 💡
More great ideas, Valerie, thanks! 😊 I just don't think of stuff like that but, apparently, I think of pin cushions! LOL!
I love that idea...
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop You thought of pin cushions, I saw pins falling out of dish that needed magnets!
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA...THANK YOU PHIL...ONLY YOU PHIL CAN SEE THE MOST FROM THE VERY LEAST...It has been years and I can still remember picking up those (throw-a-way) pieces while hiking the hills....OMG Phil at the very best I figured you would use those small pieces in the Bar-B-Q for your World Famous Ribs NEVER for the star of your show, HA. The before and after is very dramatic. I am sure you have woodturners out there looking over their throw-a-way pile ..Great turning Phil...Until next time, Take Care Phil.....TM
I needed quick and easy, the FUN part was a bonus! For that, I thank YOU, Tuffy! 😊
Use it to put my keys at the end of the day. Vary nice as always.
Thanks for sharing
😊
How very cool Phil!!
Fun too, Luie! 😊
Lovely little piece just right for jewelry.
😊
It is said "You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear". But, you just did. Beautiful piece. BTW I didn't realize you do a video every Thursday until I read the previous comment. Thank you Phil.
Cool, thanks, Jerry! 😊
Excellent small dish! Someone could use it as a pocket change dish or a ring dish too. It turned out beautifully!
😊
Cute!
I've seen DIYs where people glue magnets to the underside of a saucer to make vintage-looking pin dishes that actually hold pins.
That's a great idea! 😊
Very quite, I like the small dish very much it made my day. Thank you and God bless.
😊
Love it,might make a cute soap dish
😊
Yes, indeed, it is a cute little dish! Following your example, I have quite a collection of small pieces of wood, with "cute little bowl" written all over them! 😁
Perfect, Stephanie! Now, get to busy! 😊
Turned out great
😊
Once again Phil has me going out to the wood pile to see what I can find. I love it.
I love it too, Larry! 😊
Way beyond cute!
😊
Beautiful little saucer Phil.
😊
Phil - 2 things; first, almost every time I watch you I learn something. Today it is ALMOST nothing is too small to turn. Second, I wanted you to know that my wife (a non turner at present) really enjoys watching you and seeing your work.
Thank you so much for this great comment, Roger and wife! 😊
So cute! I love to turn small bowls.
😊
Hi Phil, good to tune in to you again. 99% of people would not have given a little scrap of wood like this a second look before throwing it into the firewood box without another thought. Fortunately it fell into your hands and the result is there for all to see and enjoy. You are a true artist with woodturning tools and this is a 'real beauty', any way you look at it. The 'Feed n Wax' again proved itself to be a great finish. Just got home from hospital yesterday afternoon following my Right Shoulder replacement but had to tune in. It has taken me longer to type this note with my useless left hand than it took you to make your video. Cheers, Don from South Aust.
Oh my gosh, Don. I don't know how long it takes to heal a new shoulder but I would imagine awhile. Keep up the good spirits, think positive thoughts and do a little drinking. The last probably won't help but you won't care, so there's that. Take good care, my friend! 😊
