This video is best right here but in case of technical difficulties, it is also posted on YouTube and FaceBook.
Of the many types of goblets that I have turned, I think
a three piece goblet is the simplest and very rewarding.
Simple: Only smaller pieces are extending out from the spindle.
Therefore, no steady rest is usually required.
Efficient: Smaller size pieces of wood can be used.
The stem does not require wasting most of a block of wood.
Pretty: The bottom of the base is easily turned and finished.
My goblet is about 8 inches tall and about 2.5 inches diameter,
finished with wipe-on poly.
Some newer viewers may wonder why I insist on wearing a face shield for safety. Please check out this video:
