Thanks Captain for all of the learning. You are the absolute best lathe teacher that I've seen. Again,,,,, THANKS!

Thank you, you are awesome! Here's to your good health.

Thanks for being you

Thanks for being an inspiration!

We never met or talked, but you have been a major part of my reason for getting into turning. How bad do I have it. American beauty bad. Just did a follow up on your Hollowing on the cheap, youtube Homemade Hollowing tools. Took 2 years to make them that’s how long I had the cutters. Turning is in my blood and wood has been a large part of me for over 50 years. Everything I have learned to turn is from youtube. 200 bowls later I’m getting better. Can’t thank you enough for your videos more the way than the content. Thanks God Bless!!

Thank you for all the knowledge and fun you have shared. Good luck and take care.

Thank you Capt. Eddie. Today I turned something you did 9 years ago. I will have it posted on my channel next Friday. Thanks for all your hard work and explaining everything so well. Gary

Thank you for your lessons. I started watching your vids after this video was released and they are just as relevant as when you posted them.

Captain Eddie I want to thank you for inspiring me. I started watching your wood turning videos for a year before I had the money saved up to buy a lathe. I still watch your videos because I have ADHD and need refreshers before starting a project. I hate that I no longer can buy my carbon blades from you. Stay healthy.

Thank you for showing me so much

Hey Cap! I've been follow you for one year now and i saw many of your video's. I learn a lot thank to you. I love your sence of humor, even this time that you not be able to do what you love. Turning en teaching. I like to say thank you very much for all your lessons and humor. God bless you and see you soon. Greatings from Belgium Europe.

Cap, you taught me a lot. Thanks so much for your contribution to the art and being such a great guy, big guy!

Thanks for all the tips, tricks. You are an inspiration to us all.

Learnt a lot from you, especially the Special shine, all the best from Australia.

I was wondering about you & your health, and just now decided to check in on you. I'm glad to see you're still above the ground. I wish for you to get well and would like to thank you for many years of making videos. God Bless!

You have taught me so much! Thank you!

Godspeed Captain Eddie

Thanks Cap

Thank you so much I can't think of a better person to have taught me so much 👍 5:51

Thanks for all your videos. You were the first one I started watching and you really got me interested in the hobby. I always appreciate your positive attitude on life.

Best wishes 💪👍

I echo the sentiment of what others have already expressed. Of all the KZfaqrs that teach and show wood turning you are the premier standout. You seem to understand what the student needs to grasp to overcome learned skill roadblocks. With that understanding you couple the correct camera angle shot that demonstrates the skill clearly. Coupling these dynamics with your skill and passion for the craft, you remain the best of the best. Father, Grant your merciful kindness to Eddie. Grant him eternal kindness through the love and redemptive work of Jesus Christ.

I wish you the best and learn a lot Capt'n Bravo Zulu ! from Ret Sgt Steve Dionne

Just don't let the boss or doctors know if you might make a few shavings. Thank you for teaching all of us tips and tricks of turning. It is very scary at first but I trusted you and your teaching. I can and have turned some neat stuff including pens because of you i can never thank you enough.

So sorry Cap, I've been wondering what has happened in the last few months. I've watched your videos and tried many of techniques and teachings. I've am a better woodturner now because of your teachings. I've been diagnosed with liver cancer a year and a half ago and now, what they call maintenance therapy and I have started turning again. There's no reason that you will be back on you horses soon. I'm one that will be waiting to see you again teaching. May God bless you with every thing you should need. Tennessee Woodbees Turnings

I still rewatch your videos. They are so helpful! Positive thoughts and good vibes coming your way Cap'n!!

God bless you and your family. You taught me, so much! I'm thankful for the cutters you sold me , when I started turning. I had a heart attack Monday. Doc told me I couldn't be in the shop by myself for a while. Going to be a new way of life for a while.

Dear Eddie, your optimism is inspiring. I wish you good health and blessings from the Holy land. Tzvika

I've been watching you for several years and learned a bunch from you. I'm right down the road near Lafayette. You feel like a buddy. Best of luck to you my KZfaq friend !!

Capn, you have been an inspiration to many of us woodturners and we wish you all the healing and positive thoughts we can muster up! As you said, it’s been a blast. And remember, we can always go back and watch all of your past videos! To infinity and beyond! All the best to you my friend!

Thank you for everything Cap'n. I learned so much from you over the years that everything that I have ever turned has a part of you in it. You have made a difference in our world, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

Thank you Cap for all you have taught us. God bless you, and take care.😊❤👍

We'll keep you in our prayers, my friend!

Man i sure have enjoyed watching and learning from you....loveya man

Cap'n Eddie it is we who owe you more thanks than we could ever adequately convey for all you have done (and will continue to do) for the wood turning community. Beyond that; I think it is safe to say that a good many of us consider you a cherished member of the family. You have taught so much to so many over the years that we can never repay that debt, no matter how much we try, but we will continue to pay it forward in your honor. We mere mortals have no idea what the future holds but I promise you we will be hoping and praying that the situation improves for both you and Management and that someday you'll be back in front of the camera doing what yo do so well! Until then we'll be makin' shavings with the knowledge you've imparted. Godspeed my friend and a most sincere thank you for your service, both to our country and to the wood turning community. Both are better for it!

Thank you Eddie for all the years of teaching. You taught me a lot.

Thanks Cap for all your videos. Taught me and many others a lot. Praying for your healing

Wow Cap I can't imagen how you feel not being able to do what you love so much. I've watched and learned from you for more years than I can remember. I will be looking for you and I will Pray for you good health. You're the best.

Thank you so much for all your knowledge and help you bestowed upon us.

Thank you Cap. You taught me a lot when I was beginning woodturning and now I've got my own youtube channel. I still go back and watch your videos from time to time.

Cap, you were one of the first mentors I found when I got my first lathe, an old Craftsman, which is still chugging away for its 3rd owner since me. You taught me so much about what to do and what not to do, and staying safe in my shop. I have gone from sharing part of a one-stall garage to opening my own 12x12 freestanding shop later this month. From one USAF vet to another, Aim High. Thank you for all you do, and have done.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences. Thanks again Eddie.

Dude! You are a legend. I still use your tools.

I started wood turning about 7 years ago and shortly after, found you on KZfaq. Cap'n, you have been an amazing teacher and your videos an inspiration for me and my journey in turning. Thanks so very much! Best wishes with the health issues - I hope you can continue 'making shavings' for a long time.

Cap'n, your videos are what got me started in woodturning years ago. You taught me a lot but I'm not finished learning. Thanks for the education and humor you freely gave to everyone.

Thank you for your helpful videos and cutters and such. Take care and enjoy 🙂

Your videos will be here forever

I certainly owe you a huge vote of gratitude for all I have learned from you. You are truly a fine Man.

I started wood turning a few years ago and you showed me A LOT and my saved videos of you i go back and see how you would do it why ? Cause i can. you make it look so easy Thank You Captain, God bless

Thanks Eddie, take of your self!

Cap'n, I've only been a recent viewer to your excellent videos. I have a few tagged for reference like the femispheres. You have been taking care of others for years now and it is time to take care of yourself. Take care, get well, God bless you. Regards, BILL RILEY

Thanks Cap’n Eddie for all the knowledge and skill you have passed on. Best wishes for the future from Australia 👍

I want to thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with all of us turners ! You tube has been a marvellous tool for me and I’m so glad to have found you there ! Take care of yourself and may God bless

Eddie, thanks for sharing the knowledge and problem solutions. You taught me the basics of turning, sharpening, grinding and plating. I bought the lathe after finding you on youtube. it's been 4 years now and my world changed completely. Thank you for bringing content into my life. I wish you the best for the future

I learned to turn from many woodturners on KZfaq but I learned the most from you, Cap. In the beginning I went to your video's tab, sorted by oldest first and watched every video you ever made. Four hours every morning, then in the shop to practice what I had seen you do. It took awhile but it finally all came together. I thank you, Cap'n Eddie and I wish you only the best in health, life and woodturning. Mind the docs and management. Let's get this taken care of once and for all. ❤ Phil

Capn' Eddie I wish I would've found your youtube channel years ago! While searching for info on lathes, I found your other youtube “Cap'n Eddie Castelin” about a month ago and watched many of your videos which inspired me and made me want to get a lathe. Then I noticed you hadn't posted on that page for a year and prayed for you. I tagged you in my first lathe video yesterday (Nov 23 2022) then today I saw you also had this page “Eddie Castelin” and still occasionally post on this channel. I will continue to pray for you! P.S. I have a lot of health problems too, so I sorta know what you're going through! Take care Eddie! ~CJ

Cap'n keep trucking. Take care of yourself. You gave us a great time now sit back and reap what you have sowed.

Cap'n, I wish you the best.

Continue to share your knowledge. Thanks for the demonstrations of the past. I learned from you. Ed. USAF Retired.

Before I got into wood turning your channel was the first I started with. I got a lathe and am totally U tube taught and yours was the first so, thank you. I never missed an episode. good luck to you and thank you. cheers, Lee

Wish you the very best sir I have learned a lot from you Thanks👍😊

Cap Edie, wishing you all the best and praying for your successful recovery. Take care my friend.

Thank you Eddie for being there. Your a great inspiration.

Thank you for all you have done for Woodturner’s just like me over all these years Kind Regards Col “Western Australia “

Thank you Cap'n Eddie for all you have taught me over the years. You have been a real inspiration. Get well and take care.

Your the best Captn on the tubes. Thanks for all you have taught me. Never give up. ❤️

Sad see your time in front of the camera has come to an end. On the good side, there are enough videos on your two KZfaq channels to fill a woodturner's library of congress for reference material. Thanks for all you've done and are still doing on World Wide Woodturners.

Best wishes Cap’n. Remaining with you after so much great advice. Take it easy.

You taught me a lot Capn. The BlackHawk jig changed my turning. I owe you a lot. Bless you and be well. Best regards Frank

Best wishes to you Cap! I have really enjoyed your videos over the years and the bits and pieces I've bought from you. I'm praying for you! You're a great asset to turners all over the planet! God Bless You, Big Guy! Luvya!

God bless you Eddie. You are one great friend!

It has been my pleasure knowing you all these years. I hope for the best for your health. You have taught me a lot about wood turning. I am involved with pens for troops again this year. Good luck and good health. Mike

No no thank you Captain Eddie Castilian, it’s been an honour and a privilege to watch you over these many years

Cap'n it's been such a pleasure following you. We've talked on the phone and had a good time. The carbines have been excellent. Take it easy and get well. You are truly a inspiration. Hoping to see you again soon.

Best of luck to you Eddie. I will continue to learn from you through your video.

Prayers to you, Cap'n. We need you around for a lot longer.

Thank you Cap’n. Have been following you since recovering from health issues for some years now. Your videos kept Me in a positive state while getting my health back. Wishing you the best of health during these times. God Bless.

Praying for you Captain Eddy!

Cap, you took Annie’s Hands from, “What’s that dusty thing in the corner of your shop?” to being a yearly vendor at Oglebayfest, the biggest juried arts fest in the tri state area. Molto grazi, my friend.

Cap. Eddie you will always be a rock star in the world of wood turning. I learned so much from you over the years and I was always excited to see you in Waco show. Enjoy that new toy. You have touched thousands of people's lives.

Mr Eddie you've been a huge inspiration I'll keep you in my prayers 🙂🙂🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏may God shield you from anymore harm

Take care and get well Cap Eddie. We will be praying for you!

Captain Eddie, you have taught me and so many others valuable lessons, not the lease of which is kindness. You are missed.

Thanks Cap take care of yourself Sometime you have to take time to sharpen your tools

All the best cap'n, you introduced me to OB Shine juice and showed me lots of other great way's to have fun. Thanks 👍😉

Cap'n, I hope I get the chance to meet you before I leave this earth. You have a friend in me though we have never met. God spped.

THANK YOU CAPT. FOR BEING THERE FOR ALL THOSE YEARS, I learned a lot from you. bought some cutters from you, and looked forward to your you tubes. Will miss you but it is time for you to slow down and get better. God Bless You , get better, so we can see you at a latter time.

Thanks captain Eddie and be strong.

Thanks cap'n for all you’ve done for me personally and for the wood turning community. May God bless you and keep you healthy for as long as possible.

The great thing about KZfaq is that your legacy and knowledge will continue for many, many years. Wishing you all the best buddy.

Eddie, you’ve done a lot for the wood turning craft all over the world. You’ve inspired men and women to make beautiful wood turnings. Now when people look at wood they don’t just see a tree, they see bowls, platters, vessels of all shapes and sizes. Speaking for myself, I made a small challis, pens, pencils and a wooden pointer for a teacher. I took the craft of wood working to the next level and made wooden tools for my wood shop. One such tool was for my dust collection system. I made 12 self cleaning blast gates out of wood. Eddie, it’s time to step back, relax, smell the flowers, take a nap and most importantly give your body the time it needs to mend. My friend, healing takes time. No matter how much you want to get back into your shop, you must listen to the doctors. Your body is tired and worn out. Take care my friend. I hope you have a speedy recovery. Best regards, Richard

Hi Eddie, I didn't know you when this came out. I have been to several meetings recently. I just got my 1st lathe. I look forward to seeing you and learning.

So sorry to see you go. However, you do what you have to to take care of your health. Sometimes you have to look out for number two. (We all know "the boss" is number one for you.) And looking out for number two is in fact looking out for number one. I'm sure she still wants to keep you around for a while yet. Once you are ready and have the doctor's and the boss's go ahead, we'll see you again when you are ready to teach us some more of your shop and life wisdoms, tips, and tricks. Love you Cap'n. Take care. And see you when you are able. Guess you are back to taking orders. 😉

Taking it easy Cap't.

Hope all well cap

Hopefully, you are recovering. I'm sad that I just found your KZfaq site 2 days ago. I have already learned from your teaching and , if course there are 15 years of videos to fall back on. Rest and recuperate. I'm a 4 time cancer survivor with my last surgery on August 11th. I wish you well. Come back to your fans. Your an old friend to the old timers & us rookie turners need your guidance.

Thank you so much for just being the real you. You are an honest wonderful man, woodturner, and friend. Stay positive, listen to the doctors and your wife. You got this. Keep fighting the fight with all that you have in you. We are all here praying for you. Thank you for all the wonderful hours we got to spend with you. I have learned so much from you. Love you and God bless. Take care my friend! Get better soon. Patty

Where do I start to tell how much you have taught me? It truly has been my pleasure. I hope the Viet Nam service ribbon pen that I made for you is still going strong. Good Bless You!

I JUST saw this video. Guess I haven't checked on you in awhile. Sorry you have to put so much on the back burner now. But please know that you have inspired me for years. Because of you, I not only have learned to turn better, but have made drilled and tapped glue blocks, glue blocks with nut inserts, soft touches (yeah!), and use OB's Shine Juice whenever it suits me. I've even bought some of your tools and cutters in the past. Thanks for being such an inspiration to whole generations of turners. And, if I manage to make it to SWAT this year, I hope to bump into you and tell you all this, again, in person! Russ

1st. You’ve inspired me in my turning since I first discovered your videos. Your carbide tools helped get started, until I got brave enough to try chisels and gouges. Take care of yourself, you are loved.
