Cheers Mike Always a pleasure to watch. Glad to see you are not wasting any wood. You would not believe the hassle I get from a certain someone about keeping those little bit's. Don’t you just love them. Best regards David

It's good to be back Tyler, and thanks for your kind comments. Take care Mike

Hey Mike nice video as usual. I'm glad you are back in the saddle again. I look forward to all your work, always something new to learn. Thanks Tom

Thanks for the kind comments Harry........LOL.....I assure you it's not always pristine....but I do admit I try and keep it cleanish most of the time ;) Take care Mike

Thanks Thomas, I appreciate your kind comments and support. Take care Mike

Mike sorry to hear that you have been ill, hope you have completely recovered and glad to have you back. The egg and egg holder are very nice a good combination. Awesome wood and work.

Hi Kobie ... that was some years ago now, but thanks for the concern, and kind words re the project. Take care Mike

Thanks Phillip, it's great wood to work with. Take care Mike

Great job Mike, It's nice to have you back and recovering well. I couldn't agree more, the more people we have sharing the better turners we'll all become. Take care, Carl

Glad to see you back!! Yew is very nice indeed! Thanks for sharing, Mike.

Thanks Shayne your comments and support are appreciated Take care Mike

Great double project Mike. I do really like the surprise you get with the Yew. Take care Serge in Canada

Great figuring on the yew, brought out by your skill. Hope the recovery continues.

Thanks Peter, I'm glad you enjoy my videos Take care Mike

Thanks Tank for the nice words, I really appreciate them, and your support. Take care Mike

Another eggcellent video Mike & well done for going on stage when you may not be feeling or looking your best. The show must go on! Also intrigued by your expression 'You Tube educated' when it comes to turning. It seems a very appropriate medium for learning by watching, practising & then learning by watching again (& sometimes again and again!). With practice one begins to understand better the skill or technique. There's also the huge benefit of people sharing a huge variety of projects on which to work. It speaks volumes for the wood turning community that so many are willing to share. Thanks to all those that do.

My pleasure, if you have any questions at all, just PM me, and if I can't answer them, I'll point you in the direction of someone who can. Cheers Mike

Thanks Dan, I appreciate your comment. Take care Mike

Thanks once again Erik.....lol, it is a superb wood to work with Take care Mike

beautiful work! I so can't wait to get my lathe and enter the world of turning

Thanks Robert. I got it from The Tool Post, here in the UK, It's the Robert Sorby tool rest system, you can get as many or as few as you want, it is a fully interchangeable system. I like them a lot, however I still use my traditional rest quite a lot too. I'll send you link in a PM with the link, so you can have a look. Take care Mike

Another great video Mike and so glad to hear you are recovering well. Love the piece and especially the Yew, well done.

Nice video Mike the yew looks awesome.

Brilliant, well done Mike. Get well soon xx

Thanks Woody, its nice to be back mate, let's hope so. Take care Mike

Mike, So great to have you back with us as your videos have been missed! Hope your setback was only a "bump" in the road and now it's smooth sailing ahead! Cheers mate!!

Hi Dave, I'm very happy to be of assistance mate, it's great to know they are of use to people, as I have taken so much from other turners on you tube, its good to give something back. Take care Mike

Absolutely a stunning job on both the egg and the egg cup. I'm really enjoying watching all your videos. They are very informative and the finished products are beautiful. Thank you for taking the time to show us newbies how to turn. I would be lost without them. lol

Thank you, it's nice to be able to turn again, it's only been three weeks, but it seems a lot longer. I'm not sure of the species I'm afraid, all I know is that I treat ALL Yew with respect!....lol. I can assure you that the "golden ratio" is purely by eye, quite some sanding, and above all.....a lot of luck ;). Thanks also for the get well wishes. Take care Mike

well mike you are famous now nicely done and nicely turned i haven't turned much in a while have a lot going on and hope to get back in there around sep take care,Robbie

Thanks Dougie, don't stop the ribbing, and I won't stop the turning!....Deal? your comments are ALWAYS appreciated matey Two old codgers together.....lol Take care Mike

Great video a really nice little project. We don't get too much Yew tree her in Australia but we have some nice hardwoods. I also like your camera setup and lights. I too would be interested in the name of the chap you mentioned at the start of the video. Keep on turning!

That Yew is beautiful wood. I will have to see if it is available in my area. Thanks for a good look at it, Mike. Nice job on the egg and egg cup. .....Gord

Hi mike so glad ur bk been looking at ur youtube channel everyday to see if u have posted so glad I checked today and see uv posted glad u getting better u have been missed keep up the good work u teach me a lot as im a new turner thanks alisha xx

Hi Alan, glad you enjoyed it. The skew took me a long time to be happy with, still not totally at ease with it, but it's practice as much as possible to get confident with it. Without a doubt, Yew is definitely my favourite wood to turn......to date. Take care Mike

Wow so nice, very good job Mike wish I could find some yew it looks amazing, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Robbie, I really appreciate your comments mate. I am looking forward to September, when you start turning, and maybe uploading again. Take care Mike

Hello Mike, Great to see you back on form. I enjoyed watching this project very much especially your skew work. I watched Brendan Stemps recent video on the skew twice and yesterday I tried to apply what I had learned from him but unfortunately with mixed results. I'm glad more and more people are starting to appreciate yew as it has all of the qualities a wood turner likes, e.g. easy to turn, figuring and colouring full of surprises, takes a great finish etc. Best wishes, Alan.

Beautiful piece of work. Nick.

Thanks Collin, I glad you liked it. I get a lot of satisfaction making something nice out of otherwise wasted wood, it's almost as if your extending its life, sounds strange, but you know what I mean. To date Yew is the most enjoyable wood I have turned. Thanks for your support. Take care Mike

Great job Mike your mum would be proud. This project raises the age old question what came first the wooden egg or wooden chicken? Brendens skew video was great I am much more comfortable with the skew after watching his video. I would love to get a piece of yew on my lathe. It looks to be a great wood to work with. Happy to see you back at it. You have been missed! Oneway says hello and sends his best wishes. Thanks for your effort. I appreciate you!

Thanks Fern, the glue is just regular hot glue sticks. Thanks for watching and the support. Take care Mike

Thank you for your videos, they are awesome.

Thanks Harrold, I use PVA = Poly Vinyl Acetate, and it works very well. Take care Mike

A great little project Mike. It covers a few techniques with the tools. BTW the Bosch glue gun is a good piece of kit and not costly! Glad to hear you are quickly recovering.

Thanks Mike. Just what I needed for an Easter project.

Thanks Ron, I really do appreciate your support, and encouragement, especially given your turning talents. I totally agree with your thoughts on Yew as well, the only thing wrong with burl is that it's usually damned hard to turn, but the results are always worth the extra effort. Take care friend Mike

Thanks Collin appreciate your comments. I use the PVA neat, and find that sometimes a second application is good, after the first has dried, especially if the wood "drinks up" the first coat. Take care Mike

Thank you Terry....I think I know what you mean ;)....it's nice to be back mate. Take care Mike

My pleasure, thank you for watching. Take care Mike

Thank you for the mention I appreciate it tremendously Mike.

Hi Alisha, when I started I got my first tools from eBay, but I got an inexpensive "starter" set from Axminster Tools, their own brand, and they were quite good quality, I still use some of them, and that's two years own the line. Good hunting! Take care Mike xx

Hi Mike, it's great to see your well on the road to recovery. this is a great project and very well done love the video . but I must stop SWMBO watching your videos she now wants to now why my workshop looks like a tip and yours is pristine LOL

Thanks David, the little bits can be a saviour mate, I keep telling the good lady that anyway ;) Take care Mike

Thank you. Glad to hear that your going to be part of this great community. Take care Mike

Thanks for your very kind words Alisha, and your continued support and ecouragement. Take care Mike x

That is beautiful Mike, I think Yew is now on my wood shopping list. I am planning an egg cup for a friend of mine as a present. And I think I will mix the wood. I am planning on using padauk, purpleheart, probably black walnut and oak. It will be very stripey and a challenge. I am almost attempted to video it :-) Love that egg cup though!

Thanks Brendan, I really appreciate your comments, and support. I'll get my lawyers to write up a design contract, I'll bring it over personally, and we can sign it over a Guiness!! I know what you mean regarding the Yew, you always want to go a little further, just to see what more wonders might be in there. I have a few left, and will relish working with them. Take care ol' mate Mike

Very good scew work mike

Thanks Pete, I'm glad too. Happy that you like the project, I see what you mean about having a bigger piece of wood, but if the small one goes wrong......chuck up another small one ;)! Take care, and thanks for your support Mike
