Mike you are a very very good wood turner, you have inspired me to do things that I did not even no could be done. I have only been turning for about 3 months but you have shown me how to make captive rings. now I have to try this. Thank you sir.
havn't seen the gobelet being turned but the early advices on the lathe maintenance were very helpful and I believe it should have a video on its own. I have been turning on and off for a couple of months now and I do have specific questions. Sometimes, like now, you just inform us on stuff we may have not have thought on our own! Thanks again. I have found quite interesting channels just by looking at your 'likes' : )
There you go Mike a beautiful goblet turned by a true lover of wood. I bet you felt really good when you sat back and looked at what you had achieved. Thanks also for the tips on lathe care. As you know I have the same as your old lathe so those tips were very welcomed. Thanks for sharing and take care. David
I typed a big, long comment and it disappeared into the ether. Anyway, this is lovely work and very skilful. I was going to save this video for after dinner but I had to watch it. The good part is that I'll watch it again after dinner and enjoy it as much all over again. I've done this with one offset but now I'll have to try 26...can't let you get all the glory. Best Wishes, Brendan.
Hi Alan, I'm glad your getting to grips with off-center turning, it is great fun. I literally nearly fell of my chair laughing at your " tidy workshop" comments, you Sir, are as mad as me by the sound of it. It's a great pleasure having you as a supporter, as your contributions are always a joy to read, on both my work and others. Take care Mike
Thank you David, your right about me and wood, I am a lover of wood, and the secrets that it sometimes has hidden inside. I really appreciate your continued support. Take care Mike
Hi Christopher When the piece if of centre I crank the revs up as high as possible without any vibration, as you are cutting a lot of air, on this one I managed about 1400, before the vibration cut in. When on the centre axis the revs were about 2500, and between 1500 and 2000 for the hollowing. Hope this helps, and thanks for the kind comment. Take care Mike
Great looking goblet you have inspired me to make one myself. I am also a turner I just don't have the courage to make videos. I have watched you and several others for the last 3 years learning and watching and learning. It has been a pleasure watching you take care my friend and hope to see more videos have a great day.
Hi Dan My opinion, for what it's worth is to use the grinder with an aluminium oxide wheel ( about 100-120 grit ), and a sharpening jig. That will take care of all your turning tools sharpening needs.The skews benefit from a honing with either a leather strop. honing wheel, or indeed your oil stone. This is only my personal opinion, not a definitive way to do it. My last video was on what I do to sharpen my turning tools, and it works OK for me. Thanks for the question. Cheers Mike
Thanks Ron, you should it's very rewarding and fun. There it's no hard and fast rule, my advice is to move it slightly to begin with, which gives you a chance to understand what is needed to be done. Take care Mike
Thanks Mark. Bad news about the lathe mate, hope all goes well, let me know what happens, I'd be interested to know how they deal with it. Take care Mike
Mike may I ask what lathe you have? Looks much more beefier than my record power lathe which has poles for a bed (works for me at the moment). I might upgrade to an axminster or jet lathe when I get a lot better at this lathing business and would like to know were to look. Brilliant video by the way, I don't quite have the goul to attempt turning an eccentric work piece as of yet, but maybe in the future.
stuart w Hi Stuart, it's the Axminster AT1628VS, here's a link to a review I did after I got it, if your interested th-cam.com/video/t4DJhcCggpQ/w-d-xo.html Thanks for the kind words on this video too :) Take care Mike
Cheers Mick, appreciate your comment, it'll end up in someones house no doubt, given that the good lady says we have too much of my "Wood" around as it is! Take care Mike
I came here from carl jacobson channel and i got to say you guys are awesome. And the crazy thing is i'm not fond of wood but i really enjoy watching you make beautiful stuff with your machine. I kinda wish i have a lathe machine now, the result's will be crap but i sure as hell gonna have fun doing it :D Thanks.
Hi Rod, All you do is loosen the chuck and position your blank off axis, turn the "knuckle", sand and finish, then place back on central axis for the next, and that is really all you need to do. Hope this answers your question, if not, have a look at my earlier video with the Zebra Wood goblet, as this goes into detail of the process. thanks for the support Take care Mike
Hi Mike That's a beautiful goblet, thanks for sharing it. I notice you changed toolrests, is that the Sorby modular system? If so what are the benefits? All the best, David
David Corden Thanks David, yes it is the Sorby modular, I do change rests during a turn on occasion, not for any particular reason I'm afraid, just a habit. Like tools I find that some days certain tools work better for me than others......must just be me ;) Take care Mike
Hello Mike, I've enjoyed watching this video again and am steadily making progress with off centre turning. However, I have had your extremely tidy workshop examined by scientific experts and they have concluded, as I have always suspected, that it's a painted backdrop which you raise and lower!!! You can fool some of us some of the time but you can't fool all of us all of the time. Best wishes, Alan.
Thanks Doc, don't think it would last long , as part of an engine though! Looking forward to seeing your super thin goblets - mind you I'll most probably be too old to see them by the time you post the video.....lol Take care mate Mike
Great project, great video. So I was all set to give it a go when, apparently, an electrical component in the control panel on my almost brand new Nova DVR XP failed filling the shop with smoke!!! Teknatool's (Nova) US HQ is a couple of hours away so, with warranty in-hand, I hope to be back in business quickly. How exciting? ... ---MarkS
The woods vary, dependent on what I have around. Wood blanks vary a lot in price, depending on where you live, and the availability of that wood in your area. Take care Mike
Thanks Bill, The mains adapter is something I'm going to have to look into I think. I can understand your dislike of the Welsh Dragon, if only you could manage to beat us when it counts!!!!! Take care mate Mike

The goblet looks like a crankshaft. I always wondered how they machined those. Nice video :)
looks great mike just wondering are you using an Eccentric or wobble chuck
thank you
Good on ya mate I love your work. I find all your vids very entertaining and helpful. Stumpy Al

Thank you very much sir!

fantastic work cant wait to start on my lathe two more days just two more days
Thanks Phillip, I didn't use a special chuck, just tilted the blank in the jaws, to make it run off centre.
Take care

Lol...thanks you Brendan, your comments are really appreciated mate. Twenty six eh.....do I smell a challenge here?

Hi there Mike,
Mika a question if you would like.
What is up with the tennisball. Can you explain how you did that?
It caught my interest, but nowhere i can see how you put it there. so how is it done? How did you create that, because that`s a verry smart idea i`d like to try.
Thanks.
Kind regards,

Hi Mike how is the wood attached is there a spike going into it or is this held by a chuck ?
This piece was held in a chuck by means of a tenon formed on the end of the blank Ryan.
Thanks Christian
Cheers
Mike
Thank you Abdullah
Cheers
Mike
Nice one Mike.
Thank you Kevin.
Plenty of practice pieces first, and you'll be fine.
Take care
Mike
that is very cool..! very very cool...!
You loosen the jaws and re seat the blank at an angle to the center line, and re tighten the jaws.
Take care
Mike
BTW Mike that is the same cleaning procedure the wife goes through after being used for a bit. Did you read her manual as well?
Merci Lolo
Cheers
Mike
well, it is a fantastic. not everyone has the same wood that you used. I think the wood piece needs to be very high density and be very dry.
can you give a short introduction about type of woods that you use and also estimated price... thanks in advance
I don't get, or didn't see what you did to create the off set stem of the goblet.
Hi Dennis, you move the piece out from the jaws on one side, that will put it off centre. Cheers. Mike
whats the name of the bowl steady that you used? Thank you.
It's the Axminster steady rest, here is the link:

Thanks again Irene.
Thats lovely Mike but you moved so fast I didn't get to see how you changed its axis, Ron
Thank you Ron ... sorry ... I just moved the position in the chuck :)
Take care

Did not show how much to move the piece to change the axis
As much or as little as suits you Alan.
