I just wanted to say thank you for your wonderful videos. I love to wood work and work with resin and handcraft things, you are an excellent teacher and source of knowledge! But also I struggle with anxiety and depression and listening to and watching your videos really helps to uplift me and calm my anxieties, your commentaries as you work are as wonderful as the projects you endeavor. Thank you for putting positivity and warmth into your videos.
Your videos are not only excellently presented but fun. And do you realize how many excellent and useful tips you give in each? WOW, my hero!
Good video tim
Tim this one of my favorite projects because of the off-center turning.
BTW just received my 4 in. Center finder and 7 inch ruler--great quality and ingenuity. Highly recommended them.
Really nice video Tim, love the end result!!!! thanks for sharing
That’s great, Tim. Love the choice of woods and mushroom shapes.
GREAT JOB !!!! You did a wonderful job of showing the necessary steps and procedures.... Well done!!!! Makes me want to do that right now.
The lacewood reminds me of banksia.
You are sweet dude! thanks for the great teaching and the awesome attitude!

Hi Tim,
New to wood turning and have yet to try off center turning.Just happen to have quite a bit of maple logs about 3"-4" in diameter so I'll see how much fire wood,,,,or,,,,off center turnings I can make!
Thanks for another great/instructional video!
Tom
Please make a puzzle like bowl. Would probably look really cool
I'm about 2 years late, however, you have some monstrous forearms sir.
Wow, wax part is the best, makes wood shiny
A mere 20 grand for a lathe , chucks, turning tools and dust extraction systems, etc. and I too can make a mushroom.
Thank you
Thanks.
thought i would let you know you are my go-to man if i need ideas, or need to know how to do something i watch your videos and they help me a great deal keep up the work you are superb ||||||
Great video. Please could you confirm the block/stick waxes that you used, as I would like to get some.
Thanks in advance.
"Lace wood" is quarter sawn not a species..beautiful work, Tim.
Tim, how do I tell the difference between a bowl gouge and a spindle gouge and a roughing gouge? I enjoy your videos a lot. If you don't mind, what state are you in?
God Bless my friend.
Surprised that Tim hasn't replied - he must be mega busy, so I hope the following helps you.
A bowl gouge has a flute which is deeper than its width, is very robust and usually machined from a bar. A fuller explanation is at www.woodworkersinstitute.com/wood-turning/techniques/beginners-guides/turning-tools/the-bowl-gouge/
A spindle gouge has a flute that is shallower than its width. Full explanation at www.woodworkersinstitute.com/wood-turning/techniques/workshop-basics/the-spindle-gouge/
Both the above can be used on spindle and bowl work, but being more robust the bowl gouge is more tolerant of the overhang (from the toolrest) experienced on deep bowls.
A roughing gouge, more properly called a spindle roughing gouge, has an almost semi-circular flute and is often made by rolling a flat section of steel into a 'half' tube. It uses a tang as the handle attachment and should never be used for bowl work, which is too aggressive for the tangs strength. Explanation is at www.woodworkersinstitute.com/wood-turning/techniques/beginners-guides/turning-tools/spindle-roughing-gouge/

Part 2 Presentation..
You needs at least 1 Gnome for those mushrooms..
nice job hope the store on 41st street recovers. so sad to see pictures of all those tools and supplies exposed to the elements
I know how you feel. I talked to Allen the owner the other day and he said they'll probably have to get a new location. He is waiting on permission from the city to let them go in and try to reclaim and rescue some of his stuff. I don't know if that happened though.
had to drive in to town yesterday so drove down 41st gave me goose bumps hope they can recover... J. Owasso
Original pin jaws did have a pin that wedged on a flat surface machined on a round steel rod. with the pin in the centre of the flat, it made up the full diameter of the rod. Put it into a hole in the wood of that size & the pin would turn and wedge. Also, looked up abranet on UK ebay & all sellers stated it was dust free sanding!!! Didn't look dust free to me in this video. What a stupid claim to make
The ad to content ratio of this Chanel is a joke.
I haven't been this excited about shrooms, since the 70's..Thank you Tim for a classy series.
