Where is my smell-o-vision? I know that smells awesome. I respect your choice of finishes, but I've found that after sanding sealer, polyurethane works best on cedar. Looks good and keeps the red from fading over time. Just my 2 cents. A beautiful bowl out of beautiful wood. And it's always a pain to keep the bark. Thanks Phil. Great job!

Thank You Phil, Thank You John Fergerson... I liked the camera shoulder view Phil, a little different angle...Torch?, yea a torch. That thing that lights up and Brit's keep in the boot or the car, right ? (I love it, so different) ha. Culinary supply stuff uses mini torches for Creme Brulé's.

It's called a flame thrower. You once said on an earlier video that you let the wood dictate what it wants to do and I'm glad you did that with the bark those grains on top are awesome beautiful wood turning. May God bless you for making these video's we truly enjoy your work 🙏

To an Englishman, a flame thrower is more along the lines of a military weapon you might see in a WWII film. A small handheld torch with a flame is called a blow torch.

Allowing the wood to do its thing and tell me what it wants to be is my philosophy on turning. Very rarely will I set out to make something specific and it's usually a box of some sort or it's a handle for a tool.

Hi 👋, Phil, what is burning, 🔥, A small gas torch for soldering copper pipe, and if you want to go the other way, roofing gas torch, or weeding gets torch, might find these a bit too big, you’ll end up burning your place down, I have a roofing torch, it does a lovely job of getting rid of weeds, . Had problems this evening. Sorry it’s morning, couldn’t sleep very well, so I got up around 3 o’clock in the morning and started watching your program, I know, had a problem, the au pair girl 🧒 😂 and obviously been cleaning my hi-fi equipment, I had no sound, it appears the mute button had been pressed, silly, Billy, 😂, and yes, I listen to my KZread through my hi-fi equipment, As per usual, the bowl looks amazing, that was definitely a lot of signing sealer and shellac to get a finish on it, but as we know you’ll get there on the end, And I have made a bit of progress with my workshop come garage, I’ve now got the DPM down, getting ready to lay concrete. Might be doing it this coming week, Keep up the great work. Stay safe.,

You tuned a beautiful banana bowl, it turned out just gorges. I have a lot of experience turning red cedar. Depending what you are turning, bark or barkless, there is some hidden beauty under the bark. The bark leaves a grain stain underneath that a lot of times make the project pop. Here in Jefferson City Missouri, most of our forest is just THICK with Red Cedar and we dont have a lot of other woods to chose from to turn. Since you a root/bowl turner, the red, white and burl like grain pattern in the bottom of the bowl can be spectacular. The multi different colors and wild grain patterns blend themselves and are indescribable!!!! I haven't tried to burn the top of the bowl where the bark was. I had another SENIOR MOMENT and didn't even think about that method. Leave it to you to suggest that, that is why I ( LOVE) your channel, I learn some thing every time I watch your video. KEEP ON TURNING ❤

Morning Phil, I'm bright and early today, started watching at 6am, that's more like it. Cuppa tea in bed watching Phil make something beautiful, happy days.🤗 I just paused to say that it's just occurred to me your workshop would be the ideal candidate for infrared heating, far IR panels or perhaps even an outdoor type visible infrared stand heater. I've been researching it for my home and I've discovered it works well in larger spaces because it doesn't heat the air first to get you warm it warms you first: like the sun without the UV rays. I don't know if anywhere in your neck of the woods manufactures them, we have locally made panels here in the UK, they come with smart controllers which make them easy to use and cheaper to run than you'd expect. Of course they are silent and require no maintenance. Suspended from the ceiling they will heat the whole room if sized correctly, (they use them in churches, Fully Charged/Everything Electric Show just reviewed Herschel's Halo heaters designed to blend in with church architecture, they're beautiful!) or you can put them on a wall or get them on a stand to warm a smaller area, but ceiling suspension is most effective and they're not that expensive, here at least. Ok, back to the video.👍 Ha ha, yes it's obviously a flame -thrower! I'll have a think and a look through the comments to see if anyone else can remember what we call it!😅 Well I never thought I'd say it but the natural edge was much better than a live edge on this one Phil, that bark was a bit furry eh?! So pleased you managed to get that beautiful wood to shine, must have been a lot of work I'm sure. Definitely did it justice though, another gorgeous piece. 👍😊

@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop

Over here, Costco sells an infrared heater but, it's portable and kind of large. I just don't have room for it. Ceiling hung might worked. My shop has no insulation and lots of gaps in the doors and the unfinished ceiling where the bird blocks let in lots of fresh air. None of it is really practical. When we moved in here, the shop was completely empty. I knew that was my one and only chance to seal it all up but, I couldn't wait to get my shop all set up, so, here I am! 😊 Thank you, Jude!

@judebrown4103

​@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshopyeah you really need the good quality ones with the suspension kit and the smart controllers to make it worth while. The ones they sell in places like Costco can be a false economy as they're not always the correct power for your space. The drafts don't matter so much if you can size the panels right and place them in an ideal position. There are guides on the websites as to the best size and power rating for your room depending on it's cubic feet and amount of insulation. Which in your case is definitely none because you just could wait to get to turning and who can blame you! Cheers Phil, see you next time. 😊👍

Looks great 👍 I’ve turned a lot of red cedar, and it can be difficult. Like you said, it’s very soft and porous. Can’t do anything with that shredded paper like bark. The sapwood is too much like pine, and cracks so easily. Smells great, but the dust from cedar is a pain too. Sticks to everything like powdered sugar. But all that said, the heartwood is very pretty…and in the end, it’s always worth it. I’ve found to get a good shine go from the sanding sealer to something like Acks. Once the wax is on there, it really pops. You lose the smell, except for the bottom after removing the tenon. I use walnut oil for that part. Blends in well, and saves the wonderful cedar smell in at least that part of the project. Anyhow, wrote too much 😂

I have a propane flame thrower, and apparently they're also called propane burners. A torch is, of course, what Americans call a flashlight, or a long, burning piece of wood the peasants carry when they're storming the vampire's castle. I'm glad you didn't burn the wood.
