Wow! Wait Till You See Inside! - Wood Turning

- Apologies for the length of this weeks video. Apparently I had a lot to say. This is a piece of Cherry Plum that I've had in the shop for a few years. It's a difficult wood to turn due to it's hardness, bark inclusions and just overall nature in these pieces. The result, however, is always worth the effort. Beautiful grain and color, exceptional bark. This is one of my new favorites!

Ya know, you could still do a weekly video. Talk to us about some of the pieces you haven't yet figured out what to do with, or anything wood and turning related. How to fix mistakes, maybe, or your philosophy about how wood enriches our lives. Keep us posted and don't leave us wondering. Let us accompany your journey!
Such a great idea....a few weekly videos just talking to us about unseen projects, future ideas, or just a live q and a, even
@@jonathonkeane3598 👍🍻🎉
@@calmwoodcreations3709 Good idea. Phil can start with a “ What would you do with this piece of wood?”(using “Phil’s methods of wood turning”, of course). 😜
I know I would watch Phil read shampoo labels, Betty Crocker cookbooks, The Encyclopedia Brittanica (Do they even have those anymore? 🤔). I guess what I'm sayin' is, pretty much anything. 😉
What a fantastic idea.
I love how you talk to us like we’re in your shop
You mean... you're not? 😊
Hi Phil. Sorry for this, you said not comment on it. I hope you understand why I had to by my comments. I have had 26 chemo sessions, 4 radiation sessions and two surgeries. I am still turning bowls and watching shady acres CZcams Chanel. In my seventh year of remission. You will do fine and you will be fine. What you have is the right attitude . Welcome to the cancer survivor club!
By the way the bowl was beautiful! Looking forward for the coming weeks of shady acre turnings,
😊
God Bless you my friend. I too survived Cancer back in 2004. I've bee cancer free since and I'll be 72 this year. This turn is surely plum nice as always... Take care
😊
Phil, there are certain people in this world who have friends, lots of friends. Friends that care and wish the best for those WE like. You my friend are one of those people.
Look, bad things happen to good people, that's just life. What is important, for you right now is, there are people all over this world who care about YOU. If you can not make videos for a while, SO WHAT. Your health is far more important, to US, than a wood turning video.
I, and I think I can say WE, only ask is that you let us know if you shut down for a while, so that we don't worry, too much, and maybe a little up date now and then
You do what is necessary to get better, that comes first.
Get 100% well real soon. ;-)
Thank you I am in tears. We must pray for our friend 🙏.
Hi Phil,
Someday I will see you again, and bring the wood I have for you. I will be praying for you brother. 😇
Thank you so much, Robert! 😊
Phil
You have been my teacher for a long time now. You have helped me become an artist of sorts and I can't thank you enough.
Sincere regards
Kev
Very well said. 🙏👍
Sorry to hear about you having cancer, keeping you in my prayers and I hope you can keep on turning.💕
😊
Tuffy does all of us a wonderful favor supplying you with this beautiful cherry plum wood. And you do us all a favor by bringing out the beauty of this gift from Mother Nature. Just beautiful!🎉
Thank you, Jonny! Cheers!😀
It’s so good to watch a woodturning channel that actually talks through the technical choices, stops the spin regularly to see what is happening and is not utterly obsessed with garish resin combinations on every piece of naturally beautiful wood.
Virginia, in the words of the Partridge Family, "I think I love you!" LOL! Truly, I appreciate your comment, it means a lot to me, thank you! 😊
You got this! My fam has a long history of different kinds of cancer - so I can confidently say the you are doing the right thing! You take care of you first!! We'll be here for you even if you don't put out a video for months or years... you are your number 1 priority right now! You have a fabulous day! Love the turning and totally love this bowl!!!
Thank you, Rebecca! 😊
My husband and I are two old folks who are not woodworkers, but LOVE to watch you work your lathe and carving tools, always amazed at what you help us see with every finished piece of art. It goes to show you that every piece of wood you ‘work’ is in good hands. And speaking of good hands, from all your faithful fan’s comments, and all the prayers being said on your behalf, it looks like you can count yourself as someone who is also in good hands and very much loved. Be good to yourself in the days and weeks (?) ahead. We’ll see you soon!
Thank you to you folks, I appreciate the positive comment! 😊
I love watching you videos. The best part is you talk and tell us what you are doing, much better then watching someone just slapping things around
Thanks a lot, Larry! I get chastised pretty often for talking too much! 😊
Hey Phil. I am a praying man, and I will absolutely add you yo my prayer list. This is my favorite channels. It is so relaxing. You do what you have to do to get healthy. I am so happy that you beat Cancer and that God pulled you through. You will be fine eventually. We all love you and are sending positive thoughts and prayers your way.
Thank you so much, Keith! 😊
Phil, I am a Cancer survivor. You will be, too. Don't get down if you don't feel like doing videos during Chemo. We love it when you're here, and we won't let you down if you need more personal time. I'm praying for all the best for you.
Hear, hear! Good on ya!
Beautiful Bowl Phil!!
And even if you don't feel like turning, maybe you could just drop by to say hi! And tell you loyal subjects,...err followers, how you're doing, and tell them to follow your favorite woodturners!
Love you lots Phil ❤️
Heather 🇨🇦
I'll keep you in my prayers. Speedy recovery.
😊
Phil…. I’m truly sorry to hear about your cancer. I wish you the best as you go through your treatment. Focus on your well being and if you can do a video, fine. If not, we will certainly understand and will be hear when you can. Thanks to you and a couple of other turners I have my first lathe and I find your videos to be so inspirational. I now have a whole new appreciation for what you do! Focus on your health and do what you can do in the shop….. we’ll always be here for you. Best of luck Phil.
Thank you, David! 😊
Mr Anderson I try to watch all your Videos. You have taught and inspired me and cant THANK YOU enough. I am a 100% TDIU Disabled Vietnam Veteran. I use Woodturning as part of my rehabilitation since i am partially paralyzed on my right side. I am like you and seek no SYMPATHY from any one just an understanding about my disability. i love to be creative and marvel at your results. I call my turnings AAAH MAZN CREATIONS. Learning a new hobby at 72 is very challenging . It is the most relaxing and rewarding thing i have ever done. You get well soon and i will view your videos, old and new, dont feel obligated. Your example proves to me you are at the top of the list of truly GOOD PEOPLE in this world.
This video is from about a year ago. I'm much better now, thank you! Good to know you have found a hobby that you enjoy! I started turning at 69 and started this channel at 70. As long as we keep busy, we'll be just fine! 😊
Phil, you take care of yourself, mate! In your inevitable dark moments, remember that you have a lot of people whose lives you’ve enhanced who are with you in spirit if not body and we all wish you well.
Thank you, Jay! 😊
Thank you for sharing, Phil. We’ll all being sending good vibes. You come through looking as smooth and good as this piece of cherry plum! :)
😊
It’s easy to see why you love cherry plum. Another beautiful piece. When we were watching another of your older videos earlier this week, something occurred to me that you and my wife and I seem to have in common - a somewhat Japanese view of perfection and beauty. In traditional Japanese craft (as I understand it, being pure-bred European British) nothing is beautiful or perfect unless it has some sort of imperfection. That’s part of why we love your work - you keep the cracks, bug holes, whatever, and turn them into things to enjoy, things that make every one of your pieces something individual and special. If you make the videos, we will (eventually) watch them. If you don’t, we’ll understand and wait for you to be back.
Thanks to you and your wife, Ian! 😊
@Ian Gordon I love watching Phil's videos. His whole approach is inspirational. I'm a fairly new wood turner and I tend to do things the same way as he does. He gave me the confidence to take the path less traveled. Put another way he validates those of us who put emphasis on nature's natural beauty.
@Ian Gordon.......I have told Phil that I was speaking to a friend about his style of turning and I call him the Master of perfectly imperfect creations concentrating on the natural beauty of the wood & preserving it in pieces! I think that's what I said but not a perfect quote but you get the idea...lol 😆
Good morning,. Cancer Sucks! Phil the beauty of the pieces you turn bring nature to life. As one cancer survivor to a future survivor, YOU GOT THIS. My prayers are with you and I look forward to seeing you. You could always show us some of your earlier work and help us with questions. God will be by your side, we will all be praying for you, and your life will continue to be blessed and highly favored. Stay safe and blessed! 💜💜💜
You are so kind, Jo Ann, thank you! 😊
I didn't know all the illness and cancer you've been dealing with. Thank God you're on the mend and back in the saddle again.
Health, home & happiness. ❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸
I'm getting there, thanks, Jessi! 😊
Well I am going to comment Phil. Jeez, master turner and now master of suspense. Ok the bowl is a master peice and I love the cherry plum. In fact I'm envious the wide variety of wood you have to turn. Thank you for another great piece. Now, I for one do not expect a reply from you and you need not feel obligated. On that same note, none of us can expect you to keep turning and producing videos if you don't feel up to it. It will be a great void but we will survive. I for one will miss you but...take care of Phil! I will pray for you and I'm so surprised you've been thru all this so far. And I do hope you can continue to do what you love to do!
Thank you much, Steve! I have a lot to be thankful for! 😊
Your loyal subscribers are all here for ya, Phil! Never forget that, no matter what, we are here for *you*! Your turnings come second.
P. S.: The rhody chunk should be in your mailbox tomorrow.
Exactly, Dave :)
Out for delivery, Dave, thank you! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop psssst... check your email
God bless you. Just know that God is with you . I had stage 4 colon cancer that spread to my limp nods , appendix, gall bladder and liver. Best surgeon I could of asked for. And been in remission for 8 years now. God saved my life. Just wanted to share with you. And that you are not alone .
Thank you, Coleen! 😊
I have a habit of commenting to help the channel. I dont expect a response to every one and when its a bigger channel im surprised if i get a reply from the creator. That you still take the time to do so is something special. God bless you and yours.
Thanks for that! 😊
Hey Phil, lovely bowl as ever. Really love those live edges. Whenever you feel like spending time in the shop, you know we'll always be with you, watching the creations.
I'll second that statement.
😊
Hey phil u do what u have to do we will be here waiting for you 😉
😊
I love your videos, but you do what you need to do! While going through chemo, take it easy & only do a video if it is therapeutic for you. No pressure or stress. We'll be here rooting for you! ❤️
😊
Hi Phil and thank you for the entertainment and wonderful turning. I have been a subscriber now for about six ish months and I enjoy every single “episode” I was devastated to hear of your health issues, and will keep my fingers crossed for a complete recovery.
Now just a thumbnail about me, Born in the UK in ’49 I migrated with my family to initially South Australia and then Western Australia where we’ve been living in Albany (yep just like yours) since 1985.Keep up the great entertainment, and again, thank you
Ian Fackrell Albany WA
I appreciate that, Ian, thank you! I'm fully recovered. I've got a couple years on you, too! 😄
Hi Phil - I think I enjoyed watching this as much as you enjoyed making it!
I look forward every week to watching a number of makers videos - like people have favourite TV shows. I confess I love the Phil Anderson Show haha - I love your presentations and always beautiful turnings - and good old Tuffy always comes up with the goods too!
I loved this piece, Cherry Plum is a really beautiful tree while it stands and you do justice to it as it's fallen.
I wish you the very best - I just want you to know it's good to see you - and there's no need to reply at all. Have a great week Phil - thanks for the videos!
You are too kind, thank you! 😊
We watch more CZcams videos than we watch regular TV. My wife really likes Phil!
I know you asked not to comment on the cancer but,Lol, I just went through just about the same thing last fall. They took a chunk of lung then chemo but as of now I'm cancer free.
My point is, you've inspired me to get up and back groovin. I bought a lathe after seeing your turnings and I've been having a blast. Thank you.
You'll get through this and be back in the shop soon.
And everyone please get screened, It saved my life.
Well said! And good for you! What wood do you like the most? Mine is nut wood, just about any type of nut, like me. 🤪 😉
Thank you, Randy and congrats on the victory and on your new hobby! 😊
Just knowing you're reading this is more than enough. Go forward Prince of Wood Turning.
Thank you, Whit! 😊
I absolutely agree this is a gorgeous bowl! I really love wood and bark there’s just something amazing about the nature of it. I guess I was fortunate enough to find your channel about a year ago. Since then I have jumped around watching your videos so I realize this is 2 years ago now. I truly wish you health and all the happiness you bring your followers. You’re like a dear friend to all of us. Know you are in many thoughts and prayers!
Thank you so much, Susanne! I'm past the cancer and chemo, doing pretty good, now! 😀
Phil, you are the reason I became interested in woodturning, it was one of your root ball videos that changed my perception on what wood turning can be and although you don’t think you’re an artist you are you either have an eye for it or you don’t and you surely do, and I really like how you interact with us fans. Thanks!!
Same here, 100%.
and another great point.. his interaction with us fans gives it more of a family environment.. it's like going to a relative's house and seeing what they have been up to.. a really great comment, I agree completely..
I love knowing that someone has become a woodturner because of watching my videos. That's wonderful, thank you! 😊
I’m going to be 70 this year. Only a number. Starting turning a month ago. Found you a month ago. Like your attitude. Learned a lot.
Belong to a group called the saw mill in Happy Trails Arizona. Lot of great guys and help.
Keep up the good work. Dave
Hi Phil! I have enjoyed all your videos, and I do look forward to Thursday afternoons to see what delights you will be creating. This indeed is a stunning piece with gorgeous coloring and grain. As far as your illness struggles, you are facing them openly and with an open mind and a strong heart. Everybody reacts differently so you are spot on not to automatically buy into feeling lousy. You do what you feel you can when you can. We will understand. Sending you nothing but good vibes and great results. Take care. 💗💖
😊
You know I have to say it...do the best you can when the time comes. If you can do videos, great. If you can't, that's ok too! Your fans are really your family. We all care about you and you're right, we love you and want you at 100%!!!
So, cherry plumb is what my family called pink flowering plumb. Biy that fruit is really tasty when ripe 🙂 I'm really glad you turned this bowl since you're right.. it's gorgeous!!! Keep on being Phil the Mighty 👍🏽
Thank you so much, Maurine! 😊
Phil you are beloved!
I love your videos and you do you friend. You have a whole community supporting you and your well-being.
Take great care friend ❤️
Thank you kindly, Nicole! 😊
The amount of replies that I have gotten back from Phil, amazes me. But more than that, thanks for making such wonderful videos, your gentle soul shines through and makes every single one special. I appreciate your efforts, and I absolutely love it when bark and natural features become the emphasis in a piece of wood art, you can't ever beat the variety of what just grows there on its own. 😊
Exactly, William. I think leaving some bark, inclusions, cracks etc. just tell us the piece was once alive and now look at it shine! 😊
Thank you for the beautiful piece of cherry plum. your work is always Art. Thank you for taking the time to help teach all of us to appreciate the world around us.
😊
Hi Phil i have been there i olso had cancer i had radiation and chemo by the grace of God i am healed completely, all i can say is always be positive and go on with your turning dont let anything get you under. I am following from South Afrika.
Thank you, Robert! 😊
Phil,
I really enjoy your vidoes.
If the chemo slows you down, we will be here when you are ready.
I will keep you in my prayers.
😊
I reverted to my young days when I would read the first chapter, then the last chapter, then the rest of the book. No boo hooing, no pity. Lots of prayers and love. You're a tough old coot and I know you will do just fine. Love this bowl, gorgeous!! 👍💖😃
😊
THANK YOU PHIL...Late again because of work. I cannot say enough how much I enjoy Thursdays after work sitting down putting my tired feet up and watching Shady Acres Woodshop!!! Phil your videos are NEVER too long for this Tuffy. Loooonger the better!!! .... I love what you do with that Cherry Plum wood. It is always difficult to find a good, solid, rot free, crack free, piece of Plum. The piece you just turned is about as good as it gets and you certainly made the most of it..... YES I heard the rainfall and I wish it was falling on my roof in this drying up Calif. Bay Area!!!!!... Phil your turnings are always FUN, UNIQUE and ENTERTAINING. When ever you are able to post a turning you know I will always be sitting here with eager anticipation. Phil your future holds many, many more adventures than you can imagine and I for one am looking forward to ALL your shows. Until next time Phil. Stay safe, (do what your Dr. says) and ALWAYS STAY POSITIVE because that is the only option there is ....right????.....Take Care My Friend....Tuffy Marginez (JM)
Positive wins every time, Tuffy! Thank you for your generosity and continued support, my friend! 😊
Your work is always beautiful 😍 I’m not a wood turner but I love your videos. I found you when I was first diagnosed with lung cancer. My prayers are with you 💕💕💕
And better now, Bertie? Thank you! 😊
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop Unfortunately when we found it in 2017 it was already at stage 4. I’ll be doing chemo until the end. On the good side my treatments don’t have to many side effects. Sometimes I forget that I’m sick. Keep doing what you’re doing until you can’t and don’t forget to ask for help when you are weak. Lots of people love you 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful bowl Phil. Take care of yourself my friend. I've got you in my prayers.
Much appreciated, Paul! This was awhile ago. Much better now, thank you! 😊
Beautiful piece as usual Phil! Yes indeed...we do love you and rest assured you are in my prayers. Look forward to videos whenever you are able. The most important thing is that you take care of you.
😊
That is a lovely piece Phil! Another master piece.
I wanted to tell you that my nephew was diagnosed with brain cancer at 4 years old. After a couple of brain surgeries and chemo he celebrated this week that he has been cancer free for 21 years.
No matter what happens we will be here when you feel up to the task of turning for us. Have a fantastic day.
❤️
😊
Phil, another gorgeous bowl in the history books. Amazing work. God's blessings and prayers for you for an easy transit through your treatments. Been there and done that with my wife and want you to know that we will be lifting you up in our prayers for your needs to be met by the Faithful One.
Thank you, Larry! 😊
Thanks for sharing with us Phil. Not sure why but it seems like by watching we become family. Not sure if you're a praying man but we will keep you in our prayers.The cherry plumb bowl is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you kindly! 😊
Phil,
Very happy you are feeling good.
PLEASE take all the time you need to recuperate during your chemo. If we are truly your friends, we will wait patiently for you to get through any rough times you may encounter.
Btw, that is one gorgeous bowl. Thank you.
Keep the aspidistra flying!
Paul
😊
Phil, I too am a wood turner. I turn all types of stuff. I am always amazed by your profound talent and vision. You are one of my inspirations for what to turn and how. Hang in there, you will be just fine. With your grit and determination, I am sure that this too shall pass. Our prayers and hearts are with you!!!
😊
When I can’t sleep,I watch your videos because they are so engaging. Thanks so much. 🤞🏼🥰
Glad you like them! 😊
With this glorious bowl, I see it lined with a flour sack keeping some sweet corn muffins warm !
My mother went through chemo twice, she’s bee healed ever since. Only focus on that….being healed. Attitude is everything, & you have the perfect positive personality. Just get through it 1 day at a time.
😊
Phil All good 👍 and it will continue to be good. The bowl is perfect 🤩 the grain and finish has been captured by your turning skills. 👀
😊
A work of art from a piece of tree. Looking forward to your continuing videos, Phil. We care.
😊
I’m happy get a smiley face from you. It’s special to know that you read what we send to you with love.
😊 😊 😊
First. Beautiful. You let all the beautiful out of that chunk. Gorgeous!
You, do, you. If you can spare us a video, great for us, and YAY for you. We’ll be waiting.
Thank you, D! 😊
Phil, I would have to say that this oblong bowl has me floored. It is absolutely gorgeous! I love it.
Please keep us posted on how you are doing. We all love and care about you! You will and have been in my prayers. God bless you always.
Your Florida friend, Dotty. ❤😎🙃
Thank you very much, Dotty! 😊
Hi Phil. I have been a loyal view and subscriber for years. It's funny how you feel like a friend to me, even though we've never met; I'm sure all your viewers feel the same way. You share so much of yourself and your talent. I am a woodturner today because of watching your magic and wanting to capture a piece of that. My health isn't what I'd wish it were, and I find the words of Julian or Norwich helpful: 'All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well." We're rooting for you!
Thanks for the great comment! 😊
Phil, I here-by do not allow you to age anymore!!!!!!!
Turners around the world NEED! NEED!!!! your video's!
I have never been more inspired by anyone else!
Love you, your comments while turning, and your humor!
You are one of a kind!
Keep turning Phil!
😊
Phil, thank you for filling us in with your situation. I have been speculating as what I thought was happening and even though I was correct I can now put it to rest. My only “5cents” worth of advice is ,if at all possible do NOT stop having your weekly contact with your fans. You will be amazed at how healing it is to have a positive routine and something to look forward to when you are dealing with all the issues that come with cancer treatment. I know that, from our side of the relationship, your many fans will be rooting for you and eagerly waiting for whatever you come up with. All the very best!!
Louis
Thank you kindly, Louis! 😊
I hope you find some more of this cherry plum. I love watching you turn it. It always turns out amazing! Thank you and Tuffy for sending it to you
😊
Love it Phil, another beauty!
Look forward to your next project. Take care.
😊
I have heard of cherry wood. I have heard of plumb wood but never cherry plumb wood. The bowl turned outstanding. I love wood grain, bark and color in the wood. This piece has it all very nice.
Phil I don’t know your religious beliefs but you need to know you are in my prayers. I survived prostate cancer you will get through this. There is light at the end of the tunnel. 😃
😊
I Truely love your videos, they are a bright star when they come out. Prayers my friend.
This means a lot to me, Bill, thank you! 😊
Phil, beautiful work as always. My prayers are with you.
Much appreciated, David, thank you! 😊
I’m one of your loyal subscribers. We’re there for you. Love all your turnings. This one in particular is gorgeous. Most of my turning style is modeled after your instruction and repetition. I’ve been turning for little over a year. Thank you.
I bought a used lathe last year and had to put my first attempt at turning due to neck issues that led to a neck fusion. My hubby decided it was a good time to change up the smallish garage that is attached to the house and turn it into a "shop". I am looking forward to it being finished. I have to buy a new power switch for the lathe and it should be here in a week or so. Uncle Hil was my inspiration and gave me the desire to be a turner. I wish Phil, you, all other turners (even us wannabes) all the best luck and keep watching Phil and his great talent. Turn on !!
😊
A shop can be a sanctuary. Enjoy! 😊
Hi Phil, I bought a cheap lathe just to see if I would enjoy turning wood only thing was shortly after purchase I had a heart attack & my local hospital had to call in a helicopter for a trip to a specialty hospital & after heart surgery I watched your videos during recovery & worked on my lathe to distract the mind, so thank you for assisting in my recovery.
Wow, you have been through a lot, Doug! Glad it's past and you are turning! 😊
Sorry Phil, I have to comment. Just to say all the best with it all. Thanks for sharing.
😊
Hello Phil, I am new to the art of wood turning but I can say this much: It is very heartwarming to see the camaraderie among wood turners. I feel that I am among friends.
I have not yet seen all of your videos but I have thoroughly enjoyed every one of your videos that I have seen. I have learned from you and I thank you. This turning is beautiful. Keep it up. I look forward to many more!
I’ve also found the various communities of turners on CZcams exactly as you describe. It is a great bunch of people to interact with. Best of luck to you as you get into this hobby. You have certainly picked a terrific person to follow for this kind of turning; Phil is both educational and inspirational and a heck of a lot of fun to watch.
Thank you, Martin and welcome to our club! 😊
Hi Phil. Well from all your videos that I have watched and that is most if not all, I always love the cherry plum turnings. Truely amazing wood!! Love the color and the bark. Another turning you brought the best out of. Hang in there with the treatments, be strong, stay well. We all love you. See you in the next video.
Thank you, Dennis! 😊
Phil our pathway of life is full of up's and downs but when a World Pandemic hit in 2020 I was watching your VLOG, and because of it I went out and bought a Lathe and started my adventure on the wood turners road and I have had some good days and bad days but each one has been a learning curve and through your inspiration I have given pieces away for presents and have a number in our home that people have commented on but in 2009 I was leaving the UK for Canada for a New life and career when during my Medical I was told I had Leukaemia which was total life changer at the time. But after getting my head around it and focusing on it with Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) I am still hear and living life with great people and family around me and watching your VLOG for inspiration and loving it Regards Craig
Sounds like a great life, Craig, congratulations! 😊
Phil, I just wanted to say that your videos helped me through the grief of losing my mother to Ovarian cancer so your words felt especially poignant to me.
You've got this licked, I know it! 😊
Sorry for your loss of your mom. Thank you!
@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop
Thanks Phil, truly.
All the best to you and yours!
Definitely one of the nicest looking bowls I have seen you do. Love the grain, colors and natural bark edge. Looking forward to what you might do next as always. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Skooch! 😊
Phil, please keep the videos coming. The wood turning is secondary. It'll keep you busy thinking of stuff to say each week, especially if you don't get time to actually spin any wood :) ! I've viewed many other turners channel, but you're the only one I watch regularly and every time you release a new one. You have taught me LOADS about turning 'fugly' bits of wood. I do all my parting the same way you do. Stay strong Sir! :) x
Thank you very much, Mike! 😊
Tell your doctor that you have your viewers, however most importantly, you have a huge power of will and desire to turn many more beautiful pieces! You will be doing that
!
Oh, trust me, I have told all my docs I have plenty to live for! I don't want them giving up on me! LOL! Thanks, Paul! 😊
Beautiful job Phil! Don't pay too much attention to people getting fussy about you not replying, all the level-headed viewers know that:
A) It's not a big deal if our comments don't get a reply.
B) You're doing amazing work.
C) You've probably got so much on your plate these days that extra time is better spent with family (or maybe more woodturning, hahah!)
Keep it up :)
Thanks a lot, Morgan! 😊
I'd love to hear about the wood you have standing by for turning. I don't know a lot about wood species, but I bet you do🤩. That cherry plum is delicious!
😊
That is gorgeous Phil! I love how you honor the wood and strive to make the most of the natural beauty. And always succeed! You take care and we are all here for you. If you aren't able to keep to your normal schedule, we totally understand. Stay positive!
😊
Hey Phil, I have watched you turn bowls for about two years and have learned a lot!! About two weeks ago I came to the realization that you use the power sander on your bowl. Yes, I know it's obvious, but it just hit me that I did NOT use a power sander! Well, now I do and WOW it sure makes it easier to get a great finish!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Terry
Good to know, Terry, thank you!😀
Phil your work is FINE. I have a comment, your entrance of HOWDY reminds me of how Texas Aggies recognize each other, every time I watch your video I am reminded of my time (52 years ago) of my experience as an Aggie.
Thanks
😊
I love your channel Phil. I’ve watched your videos for a long time and will continue to watch them
whenever you post. Please know that I wish you the best in your personal life. Take care, my friend. The plum bowl is outstanding.❤️😊
Thank you, Helen! 😊
New to your channel as of last week. Of all the woodturning channels yours is the best. It's refreshing to have someone explain what they're doing and why they're doing it. Your love for wood and life comes through in every video. It's very refreshing. I'd never heard of Plum Cherry until today. Beautiful work as usual.
Wow, thank you, John! 😊
Best of luck, Phil. Don’t stress about us. I’ll watch reruns.
😊
You’ve convinced me, Phil! I can’t wait to get my Sand-O-Flex! 😃👍
Enjoy, Robin! 😊
Another beautiful piece "in the books." Thanks for sharing. Hang in there, buddy. Looking forward to seeing lots more videos, you are my hero for turning wood that I would have thought gone to the firepit. My wife is very impressed with the "scrap pile" becoming thing that are on the mantel, all thanks to you.
Excellent, thanks, Ward! 😊
Yet another beautiful piece Phil. You have taught a lot of us that the piece that is considered firewood can have hidden qualities and then showed how. But for all of that you seem such a nice person who doesn't deserve the issues you are having. A video from whenever is always good, your health is more important than doing yourself damage. Cheers Geoff
Thank you very much, Geoff! 😊
God Bless and heal your lungs. This is a beautiful piece. Love the grain. Colors are beautiful. Have a Great Day 😊😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much! 😊
Love to watch a true craftsman and nice person. My husband of almost 60 years was a builder and craftsman. Thank you ALOHA
That is awesome! I bet he made some beautiful things, Nancy! 😊
Hey Phil, I am new to woodturning and I have learned so much from you. I appreciate your amazing skill and your humble easy-going nature. At 3am when I can't sleep, I find joy in watching you craft something beautiful again. I also appreciate how you are willing to share mistakes, corrections, re-thinking stuff because it's how we learn. Thanks for being an inspiration to all of us. You are in my prayers for a speedy recovery.. Have a great day.
😊
You are more important to people than you may know. I've been subbed to you for a couple of years. Started watching you after I had what they called a "swarm of heart attacks" . You made me want to get better quicker, so I could get back to turning. Thank you sir.
I hope it worked! 😊
Hello, never mind us the first priority is to yourself, keep strong. Another wonderful turning.
😊
I understand why you love this wood so much....it's gorgeous!
And you go do what you need to do for your health. With you in spirit.
🙏😉❤
😊
That's a really pretty piece, Phil! The wood is great, as you say, but the end result is all you 😊 We do love you Phil, thanks for making so many videos that bring me so much enjoyment.
Thank you, Smugs! 😊
Beautiful piece Phil , glad your back , thank you for sharing your struggle with all of your followers. I know you dont consider yourself a teacher but in your special way you are , not just in turning but how to deal with life God bless you Phil .
Thanks for listening, Ronnie! 😊
Congratulations on feeling better, although I'm sorry about the chemo. The last couple of years have been hard on me, health wise, too. Dialysis, a second kidney transplant, and a tumor removed from my head. I'm feeling pretty great right now, exercising and losing weight. I hope you continue to feel great, and I'll keep you in my prayers!
Sounds like you've been through a lot, Nancy! Glad you are feeling better and getting back to normal! 😄
Phil, much love and aloha 🤙🏽 From one cancer survivor to the next, you’ll kick butt!!!
😊
We wish you the best. I'm always learning something new when I watch you turn. We love your work.
I appreciate that! 😊
Phil love the channel! You’ve definitely given me a lot of wood turning inspiration and helped me with some techniques on how you do certain cuts when your turning. Definitely enjoy watching!
Great to hear, Cory, thanks! 😊
I am glad you get out of bed Phil. I love your work. Keep enjoying yourself 🇦🇺👍😂
😊
Just wanted to tell you I a new wood turner trying to find a nitch. I stumbled naturally , by being the inquisitive person I am, on what I call "odd form" turning. I absolutely love your channel. I'm learning so much from you THANK YOU!
I'm also learning to be more self forgiving and have more fun. Again, thanks so much for making all of us feel good about ourselves.
Hope you are doing well,
Your friend, Ken
Glad you are enjoying the more natural side of turning, Ken! 😊
Would like to show you a few I've done but I'm technologically challenged ,lol. I can't seem to find a way to upload anything. I have a victory chant when I do a good one. Phil-ed the heck out this one!
