Clever idea for a gift. I think I’ll do something similar but make little Christmas trees instead of mushrooms. Thanks for all your instructive video. You give me more confidence to try new thing on my lathe.
Thanks for watching and commenting, John. The Christmas tree idea sounds good. I made a Christmas tree bowl and a Christmas tree clock too. bit.ly/2B71rWe, bit.ly/2IMOCoh
@@RickTurnsWoodturning Yes, its mostly up and running. Still waiting on electrical, but using extension cords. I'm not sure I want to do videos. At first I thought it was a great idea. But I think I'm a little shy to put myself out there like that. I have posted most of what I've done on Instagram, including the beginnings of my project for the Christmas project. But an unscheduled trip to Thailand put off schedule, and I don't think I can finish it by the deadline. So I decided to stop working on it until after so I don't rush it, then use it for next year.
Nice job Rick. I plan to turn some mushrooms from mesquite this weekend and after watching several videos I like yours the most. I hope you don’t mind me stealing the idea, after all imitation is the sincerest form of flattery! Take care and thanks for the video. - Jay
Enjoyed watching and the end result. Quick question though, if the point of the offset was to make the base and mushroom one piece, and then you added two other mushrooms anyway, wouldn't it have made more sense to simply carve out three independent mushrooms and mount them? Would have saved trying to carve an offset log. Regardless, nice work and very creative.
Thanks for showing us your work . i like the spanner you used to get the quarter inch cut ,very ingenious , did you just sharpen the edge of the spanner ? liked and subd you , greetings from Wales UK .
Hello from 🇨🇦. Rick. I have to say. That turned out much better than I had thought. Great idea. You mentioned it was green branches. After all this time did they crack and if so , do they still look good or is it firewood now? You make it look so easy, that’s a sign of a very skilled turner 👍🏼
Very nice. But a minor issue - the mushrooms in my yard are rarely perfectly vertical, and the caps are rarely exactly perpendicular to the shaft. Perhaps there could be a version B in which some (perhaps the two 'daughter' mushrooms) are turned 'off axis' to add a little interest.
Hi, Louie. Good point on the verticality. Turning the base completely separately from the mushrooms and making the top curved instead of flat would fix that. That's what I'll do if I make another.
great company of mushrooms !!!! try to make also one with eccentric mushrooms this will be very effective !!!! please tell me do you have any video of how to make this tenon cutter ???
Yes I do, Kostas. Here are the links: A Tenon Cutter from a wrench ruclips.net/video/BJDy3-hYf9wA/видео.html Handle for a Tenon Cutter ruclips.net/video/Z9oZnm2-hwo/видео.html
Yes, indeed I could have, and when I make another of these, I will do it that way. I originally was only going to have a single mushroom and wanted to try off-center turning.
Nice pice.... great gift idea. I haven't had any luck turning log with the pith left in it. Do you have a trick so that It won't crack? The few that I tried all cracked. PS I'm a beginner. Thank You
No, I don't think there's any way to keep it from cracking, except prayer perhaps. The first mushroom piece I turned like this did not crack (at least so far), but this one developed a crack several days after I finished the video. However, since none of the mushrooms are on top of the crack, it still looks okay.
Thank You The first time that I turned with the pith in I was taking a class on sphere turning. I did a good job on the sphere and I was lucky..... 2 days later a got a bonus. Just like magic I had a PackMan. How lucky can you get Thanks you for your help. I very much your videos.
Rick, I really enjoy watching your videos and appreciate you actually showing your mistakes. I feel bad for you every time it happens. I was curious about this mushroom video. Since you turned 2 of the mushrooms separately why turn the first one on the log?
Good question, Paul! When I started, I was only going to have a single mushroom, and I wanted to experiment a little with off-center turning. After I got that one done, it looked kind of awkward, so I decided to do a couple of smaller ones, and mount them beside the first. It would have been simpler to do all three mushrooms separately of course. Thanks for watching, Paul.
@@RickTurnsWoodturning I know this was a few years ago, but I've been studying off center turning and have seen others turn curved stems separately. Is this something you could do and maybe demonstrate? Great Video by the way.
Hi, Scott. I’ve done some off-center turning, making bowls. I like the way they look. I’ve seen other turners doing off-center stems on goblets, but I’ve never liked the results, so I’ve never tried that. Sorry i can’t help you out on this. Thanks for watching my videos!
On a mini-lathe, the off-center part would probably be difficult. However just turn the base, without the off-center mushroom, then mount the mushroom off-center. I probably should have done it that way, it would have looked just as good and been easier and faster to turn. Thanks for watching, Ken.
Nice litle bush of mushrooms😊. Tell me, how did you sharpen that handy litle tenon scraper (or maker), I really would like to make me one of those. Best regards from Iceland, Júlíus

Hi, Truth! I’m 69 years old. I’ve been woodturning for quite some years now. I started when I was about 28, on a very low-end lathe from Sears. I had been doing basic woodworking and was looking around for something similar to do. So I did woodturning for 10 years or so, then dropped it for some years as other things in my life took over. Fifteen or twenty years ago, I revisited it, got really into again, bought a real lathe, and around 4 years ago, I started doing some videos and started my RUclips channel. I have since stepped up to a Powermatic 3520 lathe and a workshop that’s not in my garage. Thanks for your interest, and thanks for watching my videos!
Wow, very cool tool you created from the wrench. Nice. Thank you for the share.
Thanks for watching, Peter.

A craftsman AND an artist. Very nice work. I really like the wrench/tenon cutter...cool.
Thank you, Bob.
Wonderful. I turned a lot of mushrooms with natural edge (also on video). Never made a little landscape like this. I like it.
Thanks, Willem!
They look fantastic!!
Thank you, Tricia.
Awesome looking Mushrooms, Rick . Thumbs up.
Thank you!
Cute little job, Rick.
Thank you, David.
A really cool project - very clever! I've got some green branches I'll use to give this a go.
Thanks, Jimmie!
Lovely looking mushrooms
Thank you, jianyong.
Enjoyed that Rick, a really great looking piece.
Take care
Mike
Thanks much, Mike!
Great video
Just got some branch off cuts from power company trimming trees in our street.
Now know what to creat with them !
Thanks for watching, Marc.
NIce fun project, enjoy your videos Rick
Thank you, Ken.
Thanks for sharing,l liked the tenon cutter
Thank you, Mitchell.
A couple weeks ago I bought the same record power sc4 chuck, and MAN it's the best chuck I've ever used! Great video by the way :)
Thank you.
nice little project rick
Thank you!
Neat project Rick!
Thanks, Tim.
Very nice. I've done very little off center turning, my Delta 46-460 weight in at just over 100 pounds. It doesn't take much to make her dance....!
This is my first off-center piece and I was surprised at how much vibration I got with just a small chunk of wood.
Great video on a fun project, Rick.
Thanks, Mike.
Good job. Nice I love it cute
Thank you, Vicki.
Very cute!!
Thank you, Jack.
You've a fun-guy!
Thanks for watching, Ken.

Believe me, it’s not stealing an idea. Mushrooms have been turned as long as there have been lathes. Thanks for watching!
Actually I meant putting them on a log. That probably isn’t new either but it was the first time I saw it, so thanks.
Rick it is very cute for a doll shouse.
Thank you, Kobie.

@@rmtl3140 yes, it would have. I just decided some more mushrooms would look better.😃

I sharpened the outside of both tips - i.e., the cutting edges. Worked pretty well! Thanks for watching.
That’s adorable

Could you have turned all the mushrooms separately? Just asking

Great video, May i ask what kind of drill bit that was used, Thank you
That is a quarter-inch forstner bit (that needs sharpening). Forstner bits cut a much cleaner hole than a twist drill or brad point drill.
Can you talk a little about yourself; how you got interested in wood turning; are you self taught and how long have you been doing this? Thanks

I haven’t done any woodturning videos for about three months, Theodore. But I should get going again soon.
