Hi Phil, I am 78 years old and look forward to your videos every week. I feel we have a lot in common, I am a turner, mostly bowls, my dear wife of 58 years passed away in 2021, we watched your videos together. Our daughter was born in 1965 and we almost named her Stephany, but settled on Daphne instead. So my friend when we visit on Wednesday or Thursday evening for the few minutes please know that I like the things you do, your reviews are always interesting, and wood turnings are so good, I have tried to copy alot of your work! So my friend thanks for culling the scam offers but for the legit reviews, for sure I for one, and probably many more will be happy to watch!

Wow what a small world. I , too, am 78 years old, lost my wife of 57 years back in 2021. I got into bowl turning because my wife enjoyed them so much. I can’t think of anyone I would rather watch than Phil. His mannerism and teaching ability is top notch. I also lost a son in 2022 almost a year to the day of losing my wife. Another son had a stroke in September 2022 and is completely bed ridden. Phil makes my Thursday.

I too am 78, but am not a turner. I started my watching experience with this channel! I started knowing the bare minimum about turning and have thoroughly enjoyed learning about it! and I love the conversation! (The other dissimilarity is that I am a woman who has been divorced for almost as long as you were married!) So, Phil, I love your channel, I even like the reviews, and look forward to seeing what new creation you come up with every week! 💕🌷

For several years, when I heard the words "mask and face shield on", I knew I was going to get a good lesson on wood turning. You have made hundreds of videos over the years and have asked for nothing other than requesting folks to subscribe to your channel. Now, there are vendors asking you to review their products. This is one of the biproducts of putting out great content. So, IMHO, you are entitled to reap the benefits that you deserve from giving many viewers a free wood turning education for so many years. Do the reviews since you won't hear a peep from me other than giving a thumbs up from this end of the inner web. And I must add that a KZread friend named Gary, who turns wood in your vicinity, has also started doing reviews as well. He also provides excellent free videos. The both of you, through your generosity of time, deserve a lot more than what you receive . I say thank you to you both. The both of you are nice fellow's who give so much to the wood turner community. Keep those wood shavings flying!

Your persistence paid off again, Phil. You found a BIG bowl this time and it is beautiful as always. Regarding your product reviews--I remember watching your review of the Vevor Button Maker. You were like a kid in a combination toy store/candy store! Back in the mid to late 1970's I worked at a Bible Camp and we used a Badge-A-Minit press to make buttons for the campers. I had a great time doing that and I still have buttons that I made for myself. Your reviews are fun for me to watch because your crazy sense of humor comes through as it does in your turning videos.

First, as to the product review videos. For me, I will look at (at least) part of a product review. If I find it interesting, I watch all of it. If I don't I give a thumbs up and exit. About 50% of them I do find interesting. Second, I have never watched one of your turning videos that were not great. This one clearly was a challenge, and it turned out great (as usual).

Hi Phil! I've only been turning for about 4 years, and now retired, so I have even more time! I can't tell you how much you personally have taught me! It's not just what you say, but watching how you do things has been a great help. I don't always comment, but I _never_ miss a video! There's about 6 turners on my weekly list, but you are first. This piece is beautiful and I really appreciate your product reviews. If it's not something I want, I still enjoy your presentation. I have actually bought due to your reviews. The wife and I have been looking at e-bikes, so l enjoyed your first review and looking forward to the next! Sorry to be so wordy. Keep up the great work and many thanks for all you do!

I really appreciate this, Garry, thank you! I hope you do decide to get e-bikes. The two of you will have fun adventures! 😊

That's a busy beautiful burl bowl! Thank you for putting in all the extra time it took to get this one finished. Mostly what I kept seeing in the bowl was at the bottom on the inside; that ropy loopy look kind of like brains! It looks really neat! As far as review videos go, I watch the ones that interest me. End of story. Thanks, Phil!

Several comments about brains in this piece, Gwynn! I must put on some glasses to take another look! 😊

It only took a few seconds of my "auto feed" for your latest video for me to make sure I click like & comment. Love your projects, and the gnarly burls! 😂

Thank You Phil, Thank You Colin Bernreuter... WOW, Colin YOU are a VERY generous fellow!!!.. I have seen such burls but always out of reach or illegal or just too beautiful to touch... Watching you start you said "this is going to take a while" & I thought yea like waiting for the Titanic to pull into New York Harbor, OMG !!! & thought perhaps this show will be a 2 part-er?... I LOVE IT PHIL! At 33:29 I see a Penguin... Also Phil It makes me feel wonderful that my simple tools worked for you helping you finish this Gorgeous bowl...TM

I looked but only see a polar bear with his butt in the air! LOL! So far it's been mice, penguins, and who knows what all! I was too tired at the time to see anything! Yes, my friend, I could not have done this without your hand having an influence. Thank you for that, Tuffy! 😊

I appreciate the candid response to product review feedback. I'll always want to know what someone who has one thinks about a thing... and your telling me allows me to share with others. Beautiful work on that burl and I'll see you next time!

Will do and I appreciate this, thank you! 😊

Sir, You are doing wonderful work. If people threaten to UNSUBSCRIBE, let them. I agree, not everyone agrees with everything. I have enjoyed watching your work and listening to you talk. I too, learn from watching hundreds of U-TUBE videos. Thank you for sharing what you do and what you have learned.

Ok, lots of stuff: 1. Loved the piece. Wasn't expecting it to turn out the way it did. 2. It's YOUR CHANNEL and people are always going to have opinions. Do waht YOU want... 3. Yeah, you're like a wood turning Mr. Rogers with the soothing voice and calm demeanor. 4. Keep it up.

Thank you so much, Rose! 😊

Phil personally I watch your channel for you. I, probably like many others, now consider you a friend. The Woodturning is fun the reviews are OK if I’m not interested I stop watching, no big deal. You’ve said a number of times this channel gives you a reason to get up in the morning and I being 73 understand that. Please keep getting up and lots of us will watch you friend.

Thank you very much, Victor! 😊 Yup, gotta have a purpose and for me, this is it!

All I can say Phil is you do you, and the heck with what anyone else has to say. Our reasons for doing what we do is therapeutic. At least it is for me, and I know I'm in a better place because of it. With that said. I've been known to do a lot of Cherry Burl turnings, and they are by far the hardest pieces to do. It's just now my favorite time of year for my wife and I to go out hunting for Burls. Now that hunting season is over. I only hunt for dead standing or on the ground Burls because of the drying process. I've learned to keep a couple feet on either end to reduce the cracking. Awesome piece Phil and happy turning my friend ☺️

Good info, Edward, thank you! 😊

I’m not entirely sure why, but I just love watching the RPMs go up as the piece slowly gets into balance. 😂 Enjoy your product reviews and the fruits of your labor. People can easily skip them if they don’t want to watch.
