Peter tells himself not to do it, then gives the "What could possibly go wrong?" spiel . Bowl yeets at 90% . Gotta love the classics.

Looks great, Peter! Of course, the funny thing to do would be to make a 1 inch bowl and present it to your neighbour saying it's all you could get from that log.

When your bowl dropped and you showed the damage, my crochet brain was like “ooooh, now he’s got the perfect yarn bowl!” Seriously, PB, the crochet and knitting community would buy hand turned yarn bowls faster than you could make them! My current yarn bowl is a big old 1970s wooden serving bowl that I grabbed at the thrift store and carved with my dremel. Yours would be much lovelier and you could combine wood and resin to make some neat designs. I’d love to see you turn the Loki bowl into a yarn bowl! (Talking about the kind that has a spiral cut out to feed yarn through for fiber crafts, not the decorative kind that doesn’t actually do anything)

First a "Murder" Bowl. Now a Suicide bowl just yeeting itself off the lathe at 40 bajillion RPM's.

When the bowl flew off the lathe, my jaw literally dropped. In my head I could see it in several pieces. I'm thankful my imagination was just fiction. The bowl looks gorgeous!

I'm surprised woodworking Peter didn't host this video

Hi Peter, it's 3am in the UK and I've just had a light bulb moment.

The vacuum hose... It needs googly eyes, a character outfit and a name.

I've just watched the charcoal bowl video again. One of my favourites.

I’m just around the corner and am happy to pick your CA glue up anytime you need! Just send out the shop assistant light and I’ll be there!

I’m happy to know that beautiful tree was memorialized. I was so sad to see it go but understood the need for it to come down. ❤

[williamreininger]

As soon as you said “this should go pretty easy “ I paused and made this comment and will watch the rest in excited anticipation to see how it comes back.


15:11 and there it is…

Also, really glad it wasn’t worse! Hope you neighbor enjoys it.

[Bibbly]

Had a similar thing happen to me while making my sons popcorn bowl. Flew off a similar holder, hit me on the top of the head and smashed onto the floor. Found all the pieces and glued it back together and finished it. Didnt come out too bad considering.

Now tale the shavings mix with a cool color resin and make another bowl

[Nightstarlady]

im working as a lumberjack and seeing someone make something so nice out of what i would see as just a very simple chunk of wood i can get anyday, idk it just amazes me. im trying to convince my workplace to get a wood lathe in our workshop

[Nono-hkis]

Confidential to Mrs. Brown: if you need a gift idea, it looks to me like Peter could use a sledgehammer

[matthewbowers]

How amazing is Peter as a neighbour! What a lovely thing to do.

Seeing this and the behind the scenes testing done for Gummy Bear Axe Handle 2.0 made me appreciate how much patience many of your projects take, and how much waiting or just patient careful work is condensed down for these videos. I really do appreciate seeing it, it helps my brain a lot to have reminders that crafting things just takes time and that's okay.

Very fun video, beautiful bowl, thank you Peter!

[thetimecapsule]

As someone who just picked up turning as a hobby, i love rewatching these videos with some of the knowledge i have now and hopefully pick up some tricks! Thanks for the great content.

[whiskerwoods]

Use tape - packing tape with the strings in it works well - to help hold the bowl on the Cole Jaws. Won't totally prevent it from coming out, but it generally gives you enough time to get the late stopped before the bowl goes flying.

Peter, I love your work. I appreciate that you show the mistakes and talk about them. I also appreciate that you talk about the importance of therapy.
