    Just got my first lathe. Made icicle ornament from dry cherry and 5 mushrooms from just cut Hackberry. I had a skate on 2 of the mushrooms so one has no bark on top other no bark on bottom. Both look good.

    I have only been turning for a short few years, and I have yet to sell a piece. My wife says its time to start selling my stuff, but I am always feeling bad about putting a price to something, so I always end up giving it away. I have enjoyed your "How To Fund Your Shop" series immensely. Thank you. Michael

    @MarklTucson 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I like the organic shape on the stem of the last one you turned. I saw a couple of places where that could have been a feature on the others as well. But that's just my preference; as you said, no matter what you turn, there's a mushroom out there (within reason) that looks like it. I don't mind the music in the background. ... and no, I'm neither a serial killer nor a used car salesman.

    I like seeing these simple things that actually sell. I've often wondered how people get going without the massive investment upfront. Being in an area with a distinct lack of craft shows, shops, or even wood stuffs suppliers, the web is about all there is to research :D

    • @TheKlondikeCraftsman
      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Some places are tough for sure. When I was doing shows years ago it was 2-4 hours to the closest ones and they weren’t that frequent. The key is getting seen and having cards so people can come to you. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks, the way you present and how your videos are delivered are far superior to many others. If you are like me I don’t like stop start, I want to see how is made. I can see the chisels being used which is go enough for me. I appreciate your comments on your preferred type of finish which the bark and shape but you also are saying there is no right or wrong and for a beginner that’s great. You are instructing people who are going to enjoy their lathe that basically there is no write or wrong.
    The 4 jag Chuck is a great tool and I have to admit I have invested in one (and it is and investment they are not cheap) I wish I had seen you videos sooner to save some of my frustration.

    I would love to do a pair of mushrooms in a light and dark color, and make salt and pepper shakers out of them. I'd have to see how I can do it with the chamber for the salt and pepper though. One is only limited by their imagination. Excellent presentation, and I absolutely appreciate the sound of the wood working process over some cheesy music that 90% of the videos out there.

    I tried making these to sell a few years ago. I thought it would be a good idea to use a forstner bit and drill a shallow hole for a candle on top. I didn't realize how scared most people are of candles! I even made some where you could put the small tealight candles (that have their own holder) in and people still complained about not trusting them. SO, don't do what I did ;)

    I too missed the live, but it allowed me to watch full frame and not miss any comments! These look like a nice filler for the table at a farmers market or craft market. Thank you for that. With the cost of tools, I'm always looking for some things that won't take a lot of time, but might bring in a few dollars. Infinite variety possibilities too. Cheers, Rick

    It is a good spindle turning practice exercise, odds are they will check and crack as the pith dies out though, still could be a nice little decoration till it does, I believe the better way of making these is to use lumber that has the pith removed beforehand then turn it back into a cylinder and then make the mushroom turning. if one was going to sell them that is, but for honing ones spindle skills, it is perfectly acceptable to use " small logs".

      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for watching Pat. These were very dry so I don’t expect any issue but you are correct on turning with the pith in.

    First time on your channel. Subscribing. Excellent vid. I turned a dozen bowls 10 years ago. Retired now and psyched to get back into it...and your vids will be a big help i think. Gonna try these. Thanks!

    GREAT VIDEO. I really like the way you explained what you were dong and showing the different ways to turn them. I do have a question: Would it be safer to move the tool rest down as you chucked the wood away? I was nervous you were going to catch the tool at the angle you got to.

    • @TheKlondikeCraftsman
      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you Stacy! I was never over extended where a catch would be an issue but closer is never a bad idea, especially if you are new. I appreciate you watching!

    Back again. How do you deal with the centre hole on the top of the mushroom, and clean up the spruce at the bottom. Thanks again.

    • @TheKlondikeCraftsman
      @TheKlondikeCraftsman  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Roy, there isn’t any hole on the top, I just sand the nub on top either by hand as in the video or combination of belt sander and then hand sand. The tenon on the bottom I take off with a Forster bit.

    Mr. Lewis,
    Love this video! I will have to try these out! I have some nice spalted holly, pecan, sugar berry and spalted white oak I can try these on! They should turn, no pun intended, out great!
    Question: What kind of gouge is that!? I know what a spindle and a fingernail gouge looks like but not that one. Is it because it has a more obtuse angle, say 60° or 65°? I imagine that this particular gouge is the best for getting the bottom of your bowls cut clean?
    Would love to know and hear back from you.
    Thanks!!!

      Funny thing about the bark edges; while I share your lack of enthusiasm for them, it seems that there are a lot of people (end users & buyers) who love them. My wife is OK with most of what I've turned but really likes those things that have bark left on. She says it will be hard to find buyers for a lot of what I make, but people will really go for the things with the bark left on. Go figure.
