You'll find Wood turning, wood carving, wood burning (pyrography,) and other woodworking projects on this channel, all from my wood shop or from the surrounding area.

Do to the dangerous nature of the tools used in my videos, my videos are meant for adults. Children should not be allowed to watch or use power tools or hand tools, such as I show in my videos, without parental guidance or the equivalent thereof.

My videos are offered as entertainment and are in no way meant to be instructional. Always read and understand your manufacturers guidelines and safety instructions. The methods I use may not be safest so remember, YOU are responsible for your own safety. I am 100% self taught, I'm having fun making and learning as I go.

Why do I say Semper Fidelis? Because I am a retired United States Marine and that motto is a part of my life. It's Latin for Always Faithful.

Why do I say God Bless? Because Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, Please refer to John 3:16 and seek Him.

    This is just the way I would have to do it, I am encouraged that I now think I could, thanks for that. Love those old bowls and am thinking I might get some smaller planters for herbs and a few flowers this way.

    Just another old Marine. 73 years old and have been turning for only 3 years. Lots of pens and now several bowls. Would really like to get at least one of those eagle, globe and anchor with the red on the ends pen blanks. Are those available or are those specially made? Thanks for the videos. Finally subscribed. Semper fi.

    I pray every day for all people and their families who have to deal with the big C of all types. There are bigger things to get all bent about than how to say something, potato "potawto" Something else we all can agree to disagree about.

    I have seen truckers thump the tires, but I did not know it was about hearing the tone. I supposed it was about the bounce. Thanks.

    i just had a 40 ft sweet gum blow down in my yard. I was going to have the thing cut up and hauled off, but no I think a few feet of the trunk may be worth saving for bowl blanks thanks to your video. I can turn them green and let them dry in sawdust for a couple of years.

    Very cool. I didn't know such a thing as a power carver existed. My grand dad used to carve, but he only used chisels and carving knives as far as I know.

    Monarch butterflies are my spirit animal. Your mom is AWESOME. I had the opportunity to release one (after whispering my wish to it which came true later on) years ago. I absolutely LOVE the caterpillar on the back!
