Excellent... New turner here and two things that stuck out to me that I learned... 1 charring the base for a little warp and 2, off center turning. Never tried that. Looks like a fun project and I will definitely give this a go! Also glad to see others that use carbide tools in conjunction with traditional tools. For whatever reason, I had it in my head that I needed to start with traditional tools and then became frustrated and moved to carbide. I now use them both on projects, but I thought I may have been in the minority. Subbed...!
Excellent video and a huge learning session for me. I've spent hundreds of hours on my lathe and could never step off into offset turning. I will now. You made it seem easy. Sharp tools are key. Thank you very much.
Wow.....fantastic work on the mushrooms. I have been trying to figure out the offset turning for a bit now and finally thanks to this video; I've got it. Thank you for sharing.
Just starting out and I'm impressed with your techniques. I wished I would have purchased the carbide tools as opposed to the traditional ones, but I just can't seem to bring myself to spend $300...yet! Is there another more reasonable brand of carbides that is also good quality?
Thanks for watching. Carbide tools are great and I love using them but you're right they are pricey. There are many brands out there but I'm only familiar with Easy Wood Tools. I've found that woodturning forums are good place to get some info without people trying to sell you something. Good luck.
I got three chisels, one round, one square and one diamond shaped for detailing in a nice storage box from Grizzly for about 100 bucks….. they are my “go to” chisels for most projects….They are so easy to use it almost feels like cheating!! Lol
Great question. I'm pretty sure I used all of them on this project. Typically, how many you use will depend on the shape you're wanting. Thanks for watching!
Now….that is how you put a realistic twist to mushroom!!! Good job!
Thanks so much.
That is awesome
Thanks so much!

I'm glad you found some value. I hope your off center turning goes well. Thanks for watching.

Thank you so much. Encouraging others to try new things is the main reason why I share my projects.

You make 4 off center marks on the end, do you use all of them or just one or two?
Great question. I'm pretty sure I used all of them on this project. Typically, how many you use will depend on the shape you're wanting. Thanks for watching!
How cheap is this ??
Sorry, I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking how much it cost to make or if I sold it, how much would I charge?
Nie work
Thanks so much.
