Love turning cedar, it's beautiful wood and it makes the shop smell nice.

Hi Jeff, I know this is an older video, but thank you. I have been wood working for over 50 years. I do not have a lathe, YET. I keep looking for a good quality used one to get started. So for now I watch lots of video.

Thank you for showing me the steps and your mistakes. You explained it very well. It helps me understand better how to work on the lathe. I look forward to watching more of your videos.

I really like the way you shoe and work the tools.

Superbly videoed, perfect explanation and a great example of your skill. Thank you for taking the time to post!

Another great tutorial Jeff, I particularly like that you changed to left hand turning to undercut the cap, a technique I think more people should practice, as if you can learn to turn left handed, it makes many jobs, like this one, easier. Please don't ask how I know ;) Looking forward to your next video Take care Mike

What an absolutely beautiful piece of wood. Love the colour in it. Also job well done, gonna give this a try tomorrow.

Thank Jeff, down to earth, to the point and fantastic. I picked up a few techniques from this video and this is a great skill builder. I will check out more of your videos. Thanks again for sharing!

Nice work, well narrated. Great vid 👍

Great video Jeff! Love seeing your passion for woodturning. Your videos are full of helpful tips and tricks and great technique. Keep it up! Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

An excellent tutorial, I like this style of mushroom. Thanks for sharing your technique and skills, I have subscribed and look forward to more of your tutorials. Take care, stay safe, regards, Chris.

I like your video.i make my mushroom with just my skew chisel. But either way works.happy turning g

Thanks, Jeff. I enjoyed seeing the whole process. Nice finish right off the tool.

Thank you!!! Good to know that not just us novices have catches.

How cool! There is some Cedar in my shop just waiting for this project - and this weekend! Grand kids will love it.. Of course the wife will likely horde them - she's like a mother hen - with all my projects and not let me give them away.. Again - Video and audio excellent quality

What beautifully coloured wood.

I'm very new at this but i enjoy turning.. if you would how much do you sell those for?

Very nice

Nice job dude! I always hollow my cap out on them, I’m wanting to do one 6 feet tall

1/2024 mushrooms are a big deal in decor..craft store has all sizes in wood on shelfs. Newbi od 9 months..looking for skill builder's and good finish project. This was a star 10 video!!❤❤❤

Great project! Certainly know your way around a gouge! Ferdie from Clancy Mt

Those were cool Bro Thanks

nice little mushrooms

Wow I’ve now seen how to turn a mushroom, this way works for me

Thank you for the great video, and (given I'm very very new to turning and mess up a lot. Like. 5 minutes ago.) a special thank you for including the whoops moments. Makes me feel like maybe I'm not as awful as I think at turning 😂

Enjoy the video I would like for you to show a video of making salt and pepper shakers from dollar store salt and pepper shakers and explain this as you go along . I seen a video of this there were no verbal instructions I’m just getting started turning I need a lot of help

Great job. I think a little additional explanation on sizing the tenon would be helpful for beginners. You measured the jaws, but explaining why they were in the slightly open position would be helpful.

i like it nice finish

Wow great video, I make lots of mushrooms, I love doing that. why not putting some danish oil on the mushrooms before you part it off? it's a small effort and it looks great especially with those beautiful colors in this wood. Anyway nice video, i've learned some new tricks from you.

thank you

Are you sure it's cedar? It is called Juniper up here in MT. Lovely though I have a small stock and it looks fabulous.

why not apply the wax or lacquer in the lathe?

When turning cedar and want the craft to be automatic. Like in the case of cedar chests against moth damage. How do you finish the wood? Sand seal, wax, stain, varnish?

I've subscribed after finding your channel. Love your video's, informative and easy to follow what you are doing. I do have a question, as I have a Nova 1624-44 Lathe and Nova chucks. I struggled with getting everything right on my 'tenons' before turning. While doing research, the more I looked at my chuck jaws and the information on line, I realized that Nova Chucks/Jaws do not suggest or require a 'dove tail tenon' when clamping down on the piece. The walls on the inside of the jaws is at 90 degrees. When clamping something from the inside (jaws pressing outward against wall of the mortise on the end of your piece, then having the proper dovetail cut is appropriate. So, my question (sorry, tend to be a bit long on my questions/responses) is - do you find that there is a reason you are putting a dovetail on your tenon's? Thanks, and look forward to following your video's and instructions.

Great video. What type of lacquer or finish did you end up going with?

Things happen, yep

One comment on the music. It almost put me to sleep.

Hi Jeff, I liked the video, you say you're a nova dealer, How much would it cost me "in English pounds" for a 4" nova chuck including shipping to England? thanks, Happy new year

Hi there. I was just trying to turn a mushroom out of walnut. I’m very new to turning and found the walnut to be very difficult. Lots of harsh dings. Any advice?

You ought to try this out of red gum tree

At least an 8" piece

Had a bad catch with the dreades Skew chisel making one of these cutting in the top of the mushroom then bang a catch scared me a bit i have to say always seem to have a catch with this devil thing ?

The music is really distracting.

Your music is way to loud

Very nice
