To me, a craftsman creates items that people can use, whereas an artist creates something to be admired, but not necessarily used. Love the videos. Keep up the great work!

[@helmuttsandiego6863]

great video and tribute to one of the best statesmen to the craft. Mike is a great guy and have had the privilege of knowing him and Jenni for over 30 years. Well done.

[@tonyford5341]

Shout out to you videographer Justin, his work is top notch. Thanks for sharing a little of Mike's life.

[@boblasley5640]

Thank you Ashley for sharing Mike with us in a very well done video. It's always interesting to find out what makes another craftsperson, maker or artisan tick. There have been so many people in my life that have inspired and taught me starting with my father who was the proverbial jack of all trades and master of several. One of the most important lessons he drilled into me is that everyone can teach you something if you will only have the patience to observe and listen.

[@bigdaddycain8561]

I learned a enough about wood turning 20 years ago.Enough to get started and things in life got in my way but the day has finally come back and I'm turning again. Hope to be as good as you all someday!

[@paulatkins894]

Wonderful video... I met Mike years ago and was impressed. I had the fortune of having Del Stubbs as a neighbor and mentor and now a cross country friend.

[@monopinion8799]

An incredible fine multi craft artist. A fantastically great visit for us as well.

[@jacquejecker4435]

Thanks for this video Ashley. I have seen several of Mike's demonstrations at wood turners symposiums. He and Stuart Batty in a turnoff are a blast to watch. I had the duty of picking Mike up at the Phoenix Airport when he came for the AAW Annual Symposium the year it was held in Phoenix, so I had a few minutes of one on one conversation on the ride to the hotel. I found him to be very personable and very down to earth, just friendly kind of person. He is the kind of guy you would want for a next door neighbor.

[@eddiecastelin8341]

Watching your videos is like taking a trip to another world, thank you for the journey.

[@nomarwoodworks]

How fascinating this video was to watch. What I would give to be a fly on a wall there because Mike is a legend. I bet you had so much fun that’s not even shown here.

[@jpallen719]

You need to return and do another segment with him. This was just so enjoyable I watched it many times

[@jpallen719]

I think I found a new guy to follow.... amazing man and person....Iam in awe...

[@marshallgorrow5543]

Ashley, I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing this visit with Mike with us.

[@452jman]

Wow thank you for sharing, that's awesome!

[@scotthays294]

I'm so incredibly happy I found you. Between your work and the craftsmen/artist you show it just brings an overall peace to me. Thanks for stepping out there. Great channel

[@garylawrence7547]

It’s all about the moisture and species of the wood and sharpness of the tool. That combined with turning speed makes turning a pleasure! Some would argue there’s more to it but they are mistaken.

[@hoodee1]

Glad I finally made time to watch this. Now I better understand why it bugs me when I make and give a piece to someone when it sits on the shelf verses being used. Thank you both for sharing your crafts and insights with us.

[@kiwdwks]

Thanks for the video. Great to see Mike's interesting life. Love seeing people who have worked hard and love what they do! It shows in their demeanor...

[@jpallen719]

You need to do a #2 interview with mike again…. I loved this video, so enjoyable to watch….what a great guy. Thanks Ash!

[@philipbrandes5121]

Very nice content, please keep going with your great videos! I always learn something watching you turning or talking about wood...

[@fredhoy6697]

Lucky is he (she) who is in love with their work. Great video.

[@steveborch6820]

Beautiful video. Thanks for the inspiration!!

[@mickleblade]

Any day you learn something new is a good day! I'm an electronics technician by trade but found I prefer woodworking, I've also discovered that I'm fairly good at stone masonry! Making things is the common denominator

[@fulcan3rd]

Great stuff. Amazingly produced, very beautiful and inspiring.

[@123joshmallett]

Just love the channel. Your so genuine

[@jonrowley1]

Another fabulous video, I love the quality of your production and of course your content. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺.

[@sabio234]

You're Lovely, sweet, genuine, talented, courageous. I love your smile and the way you make your videos. You inspire me :) Keep them coming :)

[@cobes11]

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Outstanding video. Thanks.

[@ROOKFORK]

Thank you for yet another great viedo. I love the editing and wow Mike has a beautiful place. Thanks again for sharing.

[@AshleyHarwood]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Enjoyed the video, Ashley! Thanks for sharing.

[@tomdean8580]

Incredible share and very motivational. I look up to many different crafts people, your one of them. Thank you for putting the time and effort to make these fantastic videos.

[@cortlandhunt4721]

I feel very lucky to have attended demos of some great turners including Mike and yourself, I can’t say that I look up any one turner, because I am inspired by so many in their specific style. I turned one of Mike’s bowls many years ago for one of my daughters, she uses it all the time. 👍🇺🇸

[@silverestore]

As a silversmith I feel your passion and those who you interview. Keep going, you're a great educator.

[@brianstonerock7435]

Its always a pleasure to watch one of your video and to see that beautiful smile sweet dreams and have a wonderful night xoxo

[@capttast]

What a great video. I’ve come to the “serious” turning late. I’ve had a cheap lathe for 10 years and just got a more capable Nova. Along with that has come the purchase of Bowl Gouges and a desire to learn to do. I’ve enjoyed watching your videos and learned a lot. Having grown up in Northern California on a Walnut ranch and relocated to Kentucky, I was a little homesick watching your interview with Mike. It was very interesting.

[@tricolorturners]

Wonderful video. Thanks to both for sharing!

[@Thom4123]

Incredible video, what a beautiful place. Would have loved to be the “fly on the wall” just soaking in all I could. Really enjoyed Mike’s kind outlook on life, that you both have. Thank you. Take Care

[@anthonycammilleri4479]

Terrific video, beautiful setting, and wonderfully genuine content. Your new series is really something special. It is of the highest quality and you continue to bring us closer to makers we would not otherwise have the opportunity to meet. Much thanks for your effort and inspiration.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Thanks for sharing Ashley, Mike seems like an awesome guy! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@AshleyHarwood]

Thanks for watching! And yes, Mike is great!!

[@mikeducott5999]

Thanks Ashley, I love your vids and I was excited to see that you made this with Mike Mahoney! I’ve only had the chance to talk to mike on the phone, which I must say was a huge surprise at the time, I think I was a lil star struck when he answered the phone because I got tongue tied and he almost hung up, but he is such a nice guy and he seemed to go out of his way to make sure I was happy with the product I bought from him. Anyways keep up the great work, and I really look forward to your next vid! Oh and my 3 favorite woodturners and kind of mentors for me through vids is definitely Mike, Stuart, and of course you!! Thank you for these awesome vids!!

[@DumpsterMarcus]

what a great video and beautiful property!!!

[@adrianluica6960]

What an amazing property and a great craftmen

[@kamurray67]

You make such elegant videos

[@marshallmoneymaker8322]

SO, it goes without saying I'm old enough to be inspired by Norm Abram of The New Yankee Workshop. But I have been looking up to the KZbin Maker community for the last few years. It's Jimmy Diresta, April Wilkerson, Paul Jackman, Frank Howarth, Engels Coach Shop, Abom 79, and of course you that gives me the inspiration to get out my tools and make.

[@thomasarussellsr]

Looks like a pretty cool guy, and multifaceted craftsman. That was a pretty cool trip, even if we only got to see parts of it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@JordanWoodwerx]

That's so cool, two of my favorites, thanks for sharing Ashley!

[@GerhardChristmann]

Hi Ashley, thank you for your videos, they send me out in the shop to make some shavings. best regards from Germany Gerhard

[@ericlind3569]

I love how your videos are like watching a PBS show. Really enjoyable!!

[@M4ngstergangster]

What a great video. Really high production quality and you got a sense of who Mike was. If I could have one wish, I would wish to able to hear what you guys talked about when you discussed technique in regards to turning.

[@reforzar]

Great stuff. Keep it up!

[@smaring777]

Great video Ashley. Very inspiring.

[@inspectr1949]

Ashley, everything you commented on about Mike is so true and your right up there also.

[@AAA-pm2dv]

Ashley, it is a beautiful life. I hope to have such a place and live in it, and I will do so, God willing ... Thank you for such a beautiful artistic video, and I support your channel in more than one way .... Your friend Ali from Basra

[@johnwallace4408]

Bringing to us that if only moment brought to your heart. Thank you!

[@rogercleveland9776]

Wow, great video! I am green with envy, after seeing Mikes place!!

[@cnatale]

Great interview and Mike's story is inspiring...thanks!

[@AshleyHarwood]

Thanks so much!

[@MrJhonbaker]

Why can't a person be an artist and a craftsperson? There is no need to put such divisions among creators. I admire the work of both of you for its craft and its art.

[@smg0003]

As a simple creative it's great to see the whole intricacies ie. Finishing most of your grand plans. We all know how tough the patience must be

[@russellclarke598]

what a great video ashley and a very talented gentleman

[@craigabel3674]

Thanks Ashley, Very well done and informative. Craig

[@David-fv7zg]

Just found this site and i is fantastic. Thanks for doing this, great content!

[@dcartier100]

My Grandfather. Amazing Craftsman. Ya know the Indians say that with each piece that one make no matter what it is. Part of your soul and passion is attached to it forever.

[@jonathna11]

Been waiting for your videos. Love your content you inspire me to start wood turning. I'm looking into a jet 1221.

[@AshleyHarwood]

You should give turning a try! And thanks for following along!

[@RedneckInCarolina]

Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@unjohn]

Beautiful piece!

[@carolriley569]

Very interesting video...I have a Mike Mahoney wood eater bowl gouge that I really like!

[@mikedeman5351]

Wonderful video. Thank you :)

[@dddriller1]

its always fun to meet the people that you look up too keep up the good work your vidoes are very enjoyable

[@FrankMac59]

I really enjoyed this video. What charming talented people. But I wonder - does Mike ever sleep?

[@maxleadleybrown]

Really great content Ashley; I have my old woodworking teacher Mr Tresise to thank for my interest. It is so tantalising to see you cutting threads, without a bit more technical stuff on how it is done though.

[@jbc0072000]

++ Congratulations… You are a beautiful person and skilful artisan.

[@jbc0072000]

Next time you come to Australia - I'll be there.

[@panamint]

Can we look forward to a new PBS show soon, maybe called "Woodturning with Ashley" Another great video, Ashley.

[@AshleyHarwood]

Haha maybe one day! Thanks for watching!

[@stephenkrall7609]

That would be super cool!

[@frankanson5979]

Ashley, this video is WONDERFUL! Please check where the Shenandoah valley is. (Virginia) I think Mike's wonderful farm overlooks the Sacramento valley. Keep the great videos coming! I'm enjoying every one!

Really.... You might want to check YOUR geography...

[@Chris.the79]

Well.Done!!!! Thank you for helping us get to know him:)

[@woodwoman9130]

Great video interesting guy love his walnut oil🤩🐝

[@netronix1979]

Amazing video, as always.

[@timmorse8146]

The other thing about craftsmen is, most ideas start with “I wonder?”. So our experiences keep growing. The skills making things is almost always for some one else. My daughter and wife asked me years ago why I don’t have a lathe. It’s been a growing love since then. Though I am not making money from my craft I love when asked if I could make this or that, to reply with yes.

[@switchgear666]

Mike is the GOAT

[@jmp116]

Mike is living the dream 😊

[@bobbydoyon1490]

Hi Ashley, very entertaining interview with Mike so inspiring. I admire your work and videos, I need to make it down to SC for some training, and a game of 8-Ball! ;)

[@AffordBindEquipment]

another first class video. She should have 500K subs...

[@VegetarianFeast]

Some lovely filming there.

[@robohippy]

Mike, I think you are having too much fun.....

[@john-bf7tu]

Great vid .. your awesome !! And mike seems great too .. you should run a contest sometime where a lucky winner gets to come work with you on a project ! .

[@johnwilliamson7081]

WOW. You are awesome.

[@Gforceracing20]

What an amazing guy!

[@dennisdownes9319]

Another great video Ashley. Great visit with Mike. He was great in your video. Could you explain something to me? I'm not sure I grasped the comment by Mike that he makes a living selling "rough" bowls to other Woodworkders.........or close to that statement. What does that mean? Does he start the bowls and someone else finishes them? If so, why? I'm a little confused. DD

[@perryreasch1499]

she is so BEAUTIFUL

[@andrewpaterson4672]

That's a beautiful canoe on the wall at 14:39

[@michaelhamburg9804]

Mike is cool!

[@pierrepierrot2325]

I feel like I am in Burgundy !

[@Stillnapie]

Love those high milage Vicmarc's..!

[@kallukkuleeram219]

Super video. How to make a wine.

[@peterwelsh6975]

People get mad at me because I believe in function. I buy handcrafted items wood, pottery or metal and use them everyday. Sucks when something breaks though.

[@yourmm1481]

Love u Ash. 😘

[@genisilva5908]

Show muito bom , 👍👍👍👍👍

[@AshleyHarwood]

Who have YOU looked up to as a craftsperson or maker?

[@bobbyfowler7319]

You! I think your work is great. I really like your show also, I'm new to turning and you have shown me many people that are great. Thank you

[@alansimpson596]

Ashley Harwood.

[@pauldurham2527]

Nick Zammeti is a great maker. One of a kind projects, an out of the box thinker. Wonder if I could make an income on all my roughed out bowls? I always start projects but never seam to finish.

[@ROOKFORK]

Bobby Duke doesn't turn, but he is amazing, oh, and of course you.
