See how simple projects, like turning mushrooms, can afford us an opportunity to take risks and explore new techniques and design ideas, including turning perceived "flaws" into embellishments.
Really clear and concise commentary on all the cuts regarding tool angles and grain direction is very useful to a novice turner like myself. I find your content extremely helpful - Thanks Brian, I look forward to future uploads. Cheers, Jon (UK)
Fantastic video Brian, your imagination knows no bounds. You communicate so articulately and precisely; I understand the point you make clearly first time. Keep um comin!
I love turning mushrooms. Thanks for a lot of new ideas to try. I will have to improvise as i have no chuck, nor a morse taper. But between centers, it works ok with the same sort of touch up requirements. Thanks for sharing!
I have never thought about using coffee embedded into drilled holes as colorant. Very nice option for a contrast against a lighter colored wood. I am interested in how to make the two shop made turning tools you mentioned.
Thanks for your videos they have help me a lot hopefully you could have one if you havent done it already on how to make a tenon for mounting on your chuck thanks again Edwin
Zach Lollar It is a Powermatic 3520B. My favorite feature is that I can slide the headstock all the way to the end of the bed (where the tailstock usually is) for turning bowls.
Great job ! The smell on the lemon wood and the peach wood had to be good no ? As you said, mushrooms seems to be a good way to practice some techniques at the lathe ;)
As a keen hobby turner I'm still catching up with Brian's videos and I think they are among the best on TH-cam.

Great demo Brian, and some lovely mushrooms at the end of it.
Take care

Excellent video on tool technique. Never thought of it but excellent practice.
Thanks for your time.
Good video. Enjoyed the technique of a "wooden morse taper" to hold smaller diameters - new to me, and it will be very useful. Thanks.
Those mushrooms look fantastic. Mushrooms are now on my list of to do projects!
Thanks for yet another very informative video.
Cheers. Andrew
Interesting. As a new turner I’m going to try these. Thanks for sharing.
Great video for tool technique. Looking forward to the mentioned episode covering some of the round stock shop made tools. Cheers, Gord

Very well done and explained. Thanks for the variety of tools used too! Best regards, Charlie
Yes it's a very good idea to make wooden vass or mug & other wooden necessary items

I know this really has nothing to do with what the vid is about but I would like to know what lathe you have? Thanks in advance

nice job!
Do you let the wood dry out first? I just tried this from a fresh branch and there was still a lot of moisture in there.
