Enjoyed your sharing your father with us and I appreciate that he's probably shared a lot of his times with you and vice versa. You've been blessed to have him and likewise he's blessed with you. Keep on blessing us with your craft and lessons, please, thank you!
Enjoy watching you and your son. Your easy to follow along with on your teachings .Its comical how you and your son go back and forth arguing. Jim's wood shop
Because of this video, I did my first 3 mushrooms . I enjoyed the way how you explained the processes. I'm completely new in this domain, I'm not an artist, I do-it for myself for fun. Thank you.
Shawn, I really enjoy your videos even tho I rarely comment. I just want to say you are a very lucky man to have a Dad like you do. Please appreciate him every day. " ' : : ;
Great demo, Your Dad is a real pro Now I know who taught you. I've been turning for over 75 years but still can learn something new Thanks for sharing,
We can always learn something new no matter our experience. I learned long ag that when someone says they know everything there is to know or their way is the only way , to listen politely and then find someone else to learn from.
This is a sign, my friend. I love this channel. So many pieces of useful information and a ton of great ideas. You are one of my daily reads. I'm working on setting up a shop and this will be one of my first projects.
Not only I love watching woodturning projects, but also your dad is totally not shy in front of camera, looks like he is was filming himself for years! Plus, he reminds me of thinner version of my late dad, from neck to the belt at least :) Great video and I LOVE mushrooms
I agree! He does a great job. For instance, he drew your attention to a cut he was going do to, does it, then discusses. Great job! Please do more projects sir!
Really enjoyed this one. When I was growing up in Chicago during the early '60s I used to go with my dad and his Bohemian friend (he is the one that really knew mushrooms) to the Cook County Forest Preserves to collect mushrooms. The one that I remember most is one that he called the red top. Light colored shaft with a bright red cap. .
Finally turning mushrooms of various shapes and sizes, watching you and taking note of your explanations has certainly shortened my learning curve. Many thanks. Stay safe. Tasmania down under.
Absolutely grateful for these videos. Thank you both for taking the moments to explain the "why's" behind the techniques. I can actually retain information this way.
Well, that would have to be the best turning video yet. Some really down to earth advice and tips. The uphill/downhill trick was priceless. My chuck comes next week and I have limitless wood available, so, no excuses !!! Stewart, south west Australia.
I'm a mushroom nut. I love your work. This is so cool. You are a very good teacher. You explained the process so clear. This is so cool. Thank you so much. 🍄plr🍄
Your videos I have watched so far are incredibly informational. I am even more inspired to start wood turing and now super excited to make mushrooms! Thanks for the inspiration.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who had to do a double take after seeing your dad. I mean wow, you guys even sound alike! It's really cool that he taught you a craft, and that you guys can spend time together sharing a common interest. I always enjoy your videos, and this one was no exception... Except maybe for being a little shorter, lol!
I enjoyed your father's easy going style and his willingness to share tips of the trade. This video inspired me to make my very own 'dove-tail' tool. Thanks for your efforts.
The things you present are well done and it is a talent in itself. Slowly recovering from a few operations and my wife as well, this retired manual machinist is transitioning to small wood crafts to eventually make ends meet, and even be a blessing to others. I am starting from the ground up. Your presentations keep my interests alive as I make my first beefy carving table with some of the features you illustrated. Keep up the good work. You are a blessing to others.
Good stuff. Neat ideas. I love how open y'all are with your knowledge and ideas. Keep up the good work. I see where you get your talent. Tell pops to keep going and love how he explains things.
I've been learning and listening alot from older people recently, It wasn't always that way. When I was young, it seems that I always was looking for 'good boy' compliments from mom and dad that I was used to hearing and trying to impress them. Pay close attention to what advice these people have to give, at any age!!!
As Mark Twain said "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years."
Man, I just started, and the "good job it looks great" stuff already bothers me. I'm looking for criticism of my work, not because I think it's necessarily bad, but because it will make me better. Some people don't seem to understand that, and they think I'm being "too hard" on myself.
I really appreciate how you take the time to break down which tools, and the cuts you use with each tool! I just started turning yesterday and since I don't have the time to enroll in a class, I have a feeling that you'll be a great teacher! So thank you in advance!
I found your channel last night and the first video I watched was the 20 dollar bowl and now I see this one. I've always enjoyed watching a craftsman perform their work when the really know what they are doing. You and your dad are a pleasure to watch.
Excellent and very informative. Many thanks for making this level of detail available. I am a novice to turning and soaking information up like a sponge. So much to learn which leads to an exciting future.
Love the dad videos, he is an excellent teacher and his explanations are perfect. excellent tool handling explains what he’s going to do which helps us beginners a lot. so appreciative many blessings to you and your family thank you
Really glad to have found your site a while back. Your dad is a fountain of wisdom and it's great that the two of you share that knowledge with others. As always, very nicely presented!
About 6 months ago I got my first lathe, it's quite big for a starter like me and a really recognized brand here in Europe. Missing the lathe chuck and some gauges/ chisels, but I recon I'll be turning sometime around Christmas. Can't wait and all these videos on turning just make me ache that much more ;)
I came here from the link in your "High Fiber Mushrooms - MakeItMonday No. 4" video. I love your description of the mushrooms Shawn, "...that's a little dust collector...". I can see where your talent and inspiration come from, your dad is pretty ingenious with the mushrooms and various color schemes.
I came from there too, love both of the videos! Out of curiosity, do you have to let them dry before selling or do you just sell them green knowing that they may move some?
Just discovered you guys and subscribed. Your dad is a natural instructor. His presentation couldn't have been clearer. I've been wondering what to do with all the lumber that recent storms have blown down and now I know. Thanks!
Another great video! I've learned a lot and the mushrooms look fun to make 😊 thanks both to you and your Dad. I'm only learning to turn and your videos have taught me lots
Fabulous video, even years later. I can’t find the Ellsworth Hollower/Scraper tool your dad uses. Any advice to source it? It’s very hard to get in under the cap without that tool!! Thanks in advance!
Oh man……a chakte viga mushroom next to an ebony, with a spalted maple ? I’m in. Just how is it that your teaching skills keep improving over the years ? That’s not fair! Sincerely, thanks - all the best Teachers are the best people Patrick
A fascinating video. I was really hooked by your style and craftsmanship. Just wish I had a lathe! I might try power carving instead. Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Hi, I've been following you for quite a while and did subscribe. I'm as green as green gets when it comes to wood turning and although a few of these cuts look tricky,,,I'm going to at least try to make a mushroom! Thanks sooooooo much for a very informative and enjoyable video! Tom
I see you’re a chip off the ol’ log... I appreciate your dad’s instruction: Organized and thorough. I love the charming mushrooms (and your acorn boxes)! I’m eager to make my own.
Your dad looks like a real fungi :-D Seriously though this is awesome. I made my first pens this week and think I might try a mushroom next. Thanks for uploading and thanks to your dad.
I don’t usually comment on videos but this one I think deserves one.....or two ;-) lol I like many others now days have started turning. Few months now. First with some pens and have moved into bowls with many different woods. Eastern Red Cedar being my favorite with all the contrasting colors and of course the awesome smell when being worked lol. Having started with brute force (carbide) and finally moving to actually leaning technique for a better finish (less sanding) with “real” chisels after buying our first beginner set. I have watched a lot of videos lately and while it is not true with all videos, it seems most of them seem to have one thing in common. Self promoting, look at me, I am the best, better than you undertones/attitudes simply trying to promote themselves and their channels for the notoriety and monetary gain it can lead to rather than promoting the art and enjoyment of turning. All under the premise of “teaching” and “helping pass the craft” to others. I can honestly and thankfully say that I didn’t get that feeling at all while watching this video, and it was very refreshing to see/feel someone passing knowledge simply for the sake of knowledge and not for the sake of self promotion. Obviously there was a little promotion in there but it definitely didn’t feel that it was the reason for the video. Great work with the wood, great job explaining without over simplifying or over explaining, and thank you for taking the time to make the video and sharing the skills, knowledge, and techniques on to us FNG’s trying to learn trade. Very much enjoyed it!
He is "old School;" has manners and is well-spoken. Excellent instructions, polite, and enjoyable to watch.

Finally, a video that's educational and not just people showing off their work.
Thanks
Really enjoyed watching an old master at work - I must now try this. Hey Shaun, you’re a chip of the old block!
Oh good, you were calling Dad old....
Shawn, I really enjoy your videos even tho I rarely comment. I just want to say you are a very lucky man to have a Dad like you do. Please appreciate him every day.

Great demo, Your Dad is a real pro Now I know who taught you.
I've been turning for over 75 years but still can learn something new
Thanks for sharing,
Dad's gonna get an ego with all this praise.
I didn’t realise it was his dad, I thought, “what the heck’s happened to him.”
Doing all these videos must have taken its toll.🥴
We can always learn something new no matter our experience.
I learned long ag that when someone says they know everything there is to know or their way is the only way , to listen politely and then find someone else to learn from.
Please note I watched this again after 3 years. I enjoyed it as much the second time around. Many good tips for all to learn from.
Your dad is amazing. I've learned loads from him in this one video. Thank you
Your dad's a pretty cool guy! You must be proud of him, as I bet he is proud of you :)
Oh boy, beautiful color in the wood and you've sculpted the mushroom to use the unique shape in the wood. 🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸
Thank you. This is great and it made me miss my Dad a bit, but in a good, bittersweet way.
This is a sign, my friend. I love this channel. So many pieces of useful information and a ton of great ideas. You are one of my daily reads. I'm working on setting up a shop and this will be one of my first projects.

He knows... :)

Look at that beautiful Robust lathe!!
Bucket list item for sure!
Your dad is an awesome teacher. Love the lathe👍
🤣35:13 “ little dust collector”. Exactly what the Mrs said and why she’s found a spot in the rubbish bin for my first one 🤣🤣
Absolutely grateful for these videos. Thank you both for taking the moments to explain the "why's" behind the techniques. I can actually retain information this way.
Mate, you have mastered that skill down to the finest detail. It's humbling and exciting at the same time... 👍
The "old man" works as hard as you! Just as good an "explainer". I never saw a scraper like that.
Well, that would have to be the best turning video yet. Some really down to earth advice and tips. The uphill/downhill trick was priceless. My chuck comes next week and I have limitless wood available, so, no excuses !!! Stewart, south west Australia.
I'm a mushroom nut. I love your work. This is so cool. You are a very good teacher. You explained the process so clear. This is so cool. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much your videos have given me ideas that helped me with depression ...blessings for you man
Great video your dad is a great teacher and I love how he stops to explain not only how but why he uses tools the way he does.
Your videos I have watched so far are incredibly informational. I am even more inspired to start wood turing and now super excited to make mushrooms! Thanks for the inspiration.

I absolutely loved this video. I'm in Drip. Would love to come see you guys work in person. I'm new and learning so much. TY.

I just wanted to thank you two for this video. I took some inspiration from it and started making my own mushrooms. Been great sellers at the markets.
Thanks
Love the channel! You've motivated me to complete so many projects! Great haircut, very knightly!
Good stuff. Neat ideas. I love how open y'all are with your knowledge and ideas. Keep up the good work.
I see where you get your talent. Tell pops to keep going and love how he explains things.

Loved the way you explain the details I am a newbie from England great vids Thankyou Martin from UK ,
Pretty nifty little mushrooms, very inspiring...
And your dad is awesome, if you get the chance, do more videos with him, please. :D
With his new found ego I'm sure he'll want to do another.
Great video. Your dad explains everything so well. I've done a couple mushrooms but this will help me make them even better.
Thanks
Enjoyed watching your dad growing shrooms. I've got a couple pieces of poplar I want to try this with.
Excellent and very informative. Many thanks for making this level of detail available. I am a novice to turning and soaking information up like a sponge. So much to learn which leads to an exciting future.
Great work. You and your dad are both great teachers and demonstrators!
Thanks
Love the dad videos, he is an excellent teacher and his explanations are perfect. excellent tool handling explains what he’s going to do which helps us beginners a lot. so appreciative many blessings to you and your family thank you

I''m a really new (old -75) turner... I love the way both of you teach, and show by example. Thanks.
Wow, totally blown away in watching this video and learning quite a bit about woodturning idea's that are marketable, beautiful and fun! Thank you!
Thanks
Enjoyed watching this project all come together thank you for sharing.
From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
Thanks
Really glad to have found your site a while back. Your dad is a fountain of wisdom and it's great that the two of you share that knowledge with others. As always, very nicely presented!
Thanks

Terrific tutorial! Loved meeting dad, too. Time to make mushrooms!
enjoyed presentation very much. you both have a way of holding your audience thanks
Thanks
Your dad is a very talented artist. Thanks for sharing this! I learned a lot and enjoy his process.
About 6 months ago I got my first lathe, it's quite big for a starter like me and a really recognized brand here in Europe. Missing the lathe chuck and some gauges/ chisels, but I recon I'll be turning sometime around Christmas. Can't wait and all these videos on turning just make me ache that much more ;)
Check with your local woodturning club. Many times old timers are giving away stuff to get newbies started.
I came here from the link in your "High Fiber Mushrooms - MakeItMonday No. 4" video. I love your description of the mushrooms Shawn, "...that's a little dust collector...". I can see where your talent and inspiration come from, your dad is pretty ingenious with the mushrooms and various color schemes.
You're just swelling his ego dude.
@@wortheffort If he's just now acquiring an ego, he deserves it!
I came from there too, love both of the videos! Out of curiosity, do you have to let them dry before selling or do you just sell them green knowing that they may move some?
Your pops is a great turner!
Shhhh....
@@wortheffort I heard that!
Just discovered you guys and subscribed. Your dad is a natural instructor. His presentation couldn't have been clearer. I've been wondering what to do with all the lumber that recent storms have blown down and now I know.
Thanks!
Get after it. Make a mess.
Another great video! I've learned a lot and the mushrooms look fun to make 😊 thanks both to you and your Dad. I'm only learning to turn and your videos have taught me lots
Thanks
Many thanks to your DAD! Great instructions on the very project I needed to learn.
Here we go again... swelling his ego.
These and the Ducks you did must be my two favourites (so far).
more in this vein are coming.
and the Acorn box - almost forgot that :)
This was a very nice instructive video. My grandson and I have made a few mushrooms. This provided some new techniques and ideas...thanks.
Thanks
Thanks for your videos! I always learn something from them. It is worth the effort.👍😌
Thanks for letting us watch your dad turn them. Great video and project.
Thanks
great art, great skill tips, great safety tips. all around awesome! and way to go for your Dad getting in front of the camera!
Thanks
Great video! I love your dad's shop-made tool to cut the dovetail for the chuck jaws!
Thanks
very nice work, I like watching you guys work.
Enjoying all your videos here in OZ.
Thanks
Love your content Shawn, need more Dad too!
Great Job from your father! Best wishes Andreas
Fabulous video, even years later. I can’t find the Ellsworth Hollower/Scraper tool your dad uses. Any advice to source it? It’s very hard to get in under the cap without that tool!! Thanks in advance!
Get from Ellsworth
ur dad is awesome... makes me want to go out and buy tools....
Everybody boosting his ego.....
Great video, thanks for sharing this!
I like this guy. He's like Santa doing a new toys for next Christmas.
When in doubt, make a mushroom. I'd definitely impulse buy one of these.
Thanks Dad!!! Totally appreciate your explanations.
I really like your explantation. You are a very good teacher! Thank's a lot.
Thanks
In joy that a lot. Dad is great teacher
Thanks, he knows. :)
This was a pleasure to watch

Oh man……a chakte viga mushroom next to an ebony, with a spalted maple ? I’m in.
Just how is it that your teaching skills keep improving over the years ? That’s not fair!
Sincerely, thanks - all the best
Teachers are the best people
Patrick
Thanks for teaching! It helps so much for this new turner.
Thanks
Your dad is awesome!
Nice little project. I'll do a few. Loved the dobro music.

Very good art work....
Love it...
Thanks!
Thanks
Good one. You learned from a real pro!
What makes you think I learned from him? (I did.)
I don’t usually comment on videos but this one I think deserves one.....or two ;-) lol
