I really like the way that you said these colours don't go with each other, then proceed to prove yourself wrong. It's a stunning pot.

Hi William, I'm not that good I'm just not afraid to fail. If you fail enough you become good because you learn each time.

The end result was amazing. As you say, the wood for the lid has just the greatest grain to it.

Hello Mike, I think you have brought a new meaning to “trash to treasure”. This really is a rather lovely lidded bowl that would merit pride of place in any setting. I think you should try and buy more of these off cuts - they certainly bring out the talent in you. And we will get to see what wonders you can create with them. Have a good week and I will look forward to watching your next video.

Mike, I think your videos are really great. Unlike some other woodturner’s who seem to miraculously turn out museum pieces every time without a word of explanation, your practical and down to earth commentaries are very useful to aspiring woodturner’s like me. The pieces you produce are excellent and I intend to use your videos as a guide to some future projects I want to do. Thank you for what you do and please just keep doing it. In my opinion you deserve 10 times the number of subscribers that you have and hopefully you’ll get there very soon. Well done.

You have proven that it best to waist not, because something beautiful will come from it. I have been watching your videos before I go to sleep. However, so many of them get me so excited from having so much fun, I am finding difficult to fall asleep. Maybe it might be best to reschedule my viewing time to the afternoon period. But being an old man, that might interfere with my afternoon nap. See what a dilemma you have caused in my life Mike.
