Wood Turning - Beginners Guide #1 - A Goblet

A tutorial for beginners on turning a simple Goblet

[@edwardhayes1362]

I'm sure you've gotten hundreds of comments like this, but I truly appreciate you sharing your passion for wood turning with the world. I bought my first lathe just before Christmas and prior to that had never seen a lathe in person. but after watching a ton of your videos, I have created some pretty amazing things. I am simply put... totally addicted to turning. I look for scraps of wood everywhere I go, just hoping to find my next creation. I owe you much gratitude for getting me started...even though these beginner's guide posts are three years old they are timeless and still inspiring newcomers daily I would wager. thanks again.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Edward, and thank you for your very kind words, I really do appreciate them. Cheers Mike

[@JukeboxJake]

Edward Hayes, are you able to sell your creations, if so, where, how, and for how much????

[@MartynStubbsTBS]

For a beginner what lathe would you reccommed?

[@troybrand8343]

I want to thank you for doing these beginner's guides, Mike. I got a small lathe from my in-laws for Christmas, but just got it set up. I had never used a lathe at all up until a couple weeks ago, and had no idea what I was doing. I watched through all of your beginner's guides, which helped me quite a bit. I just finished my first goblet, and it turned out okay, but I would never have been able to hollow it out if it weren't for your suggestions. I still have a long way to go, but I am enjoying everything So far. Thanks again, and keep the videos coming!

[@CarlJacobson]

Great video Mike, I like the idea of giving different options. The goblet looks great too. Take care, Carl

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Carl, we all do things slightly different, but the basic rules still apply. Take care Mike

[@mr.p6828]

Just began woodworking at school. Your videos are a great source of inspiration and learning to me! Brilliant Work!

[@DIYwithUncleCy]

Over 5 years old and still the go.to video for gobblet/chalice turning. Thanks Mike.

[@MikeWaldt]

That's very kind of you to say that Cy, much appreciated. Take care Mike

[@greghathaway9228]

Thanks so much Mike for these videos. I just finished my first goblet with a captive ring. You're a great inspiration and education for a new turner from Kansas. Cheers to you!

[@MikeWaldt]

Greg Hathaway The pleasure is mine Greg, and the fact that you found some use in them, makes it worthwhile. Well done on the goblet too.Take care Mike

[@earlrumble1692]

Mike, thanks for a great idea for a learning course! I have learned a lot from watching the U-Tube galaxy and truly appreciate all of the posters presenting their experiences. I also want to thank you for continuing on through your medical challenges...it demonstrates your courage and strong fiber!!! I am looking forward to your next lesson.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Earl, your kind words of encouragement are appreciated. Take care Mike

[@burnleyize]

I bought a Delta lathe in 1996, and never really used it due to the requirements of life. Several months ago, I decided ENOUGH! time to turn! And the sawdust/ shavings have grown and grown. I must say , THANK YOU, for the sharing of your knowledge! I have learned a lot and I appreciate you greatly. My best!

[@MikeWaldt]

Pleased to hear that you've taken the plunge, and thank you for your kind words. Enjoy your turning journey.

[@virtuosomuso]

mike i cant thank you enough for your time and effort with us newbies , you cant get any newer than me at wood turning , but i'm learning slowly but surely from watching your vids , please keepmthem up they are priceless .....thank you

[@MikeWaldt]

John Melia Thanks YOU for your kind words and support John. I am really pleased that you find my videos of use, and interest. Enjoy your new found craft. Take care Mike

[@MagVair]

There is ELEGANCE in simplicity. And that goblet is SIMPLY elegant! Well done. I may turn a set of those. Thank you!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you for your kind words they are much appreciated.

[@richardcoyle8091]

I never get enough of this video mike. Love watching it and have done a couple myself. Like you said it builds confidence. Thanks again.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Richard Coyle Thanks for your kind words and support Richard, they are both much appreciated. Take care Mike

[@busterwest1644]

Thank you MIke, always enjoy your videos. Not long into wood turning but today I completed a nice little bowl drilled with a forstner bit and then hollowed out with a half inch bowl gouge. After a glorious catch shattered its predecessor I was determined to try again. I was given some nice straight lengths of cherry just the other day, similar to your piece so may have to give a goblet a go.

[@richardmorris4119]

Thanks Mike! Being a new turner I really appreciate the tutorials.

[@MikeWaldt]

Pleasure Richard, I'm in the middle of doing one about making a simple lidded box, hope it will be of interest too. Thanks for your support. Take care Mike

[@joecockrell6628]

I've recently started turning. I appreciate the time you have spent making this video. It was straight forward and not overly informative. Just enough for me to insert my own creativity and make something I'm happy with. Thank you.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Joe, very happy to hear that you have found some use from my videos. Thank you, and take care Mike

[@warrickhickssnakehunter6511]

What an absolutely fantastic video for us beginners to learn from. I am in the VERY early stages of learning to turn wood and have watched countless videos of yours whilst preparing to purchase my first lathe. I'm now officially operational and have produced a couple of dodgy mushrooms. I now intended to attempt to duplicate your work from your beginners guides and can't thank you enough for the time and patience you've put into these episodes - Matt, Lincolnshire.

[@MikeWaldt]

Just got into turning, this evening have just turned a nice little jewellery box for wifey's x-mas pressy. I haven't got a decent parting tool yet but a hacksaw works for me.Nice vid, will give it a go to make a goblet when I get the right piece of wood. Good instructional vid clip, cheers.

[@peterhicks]

Brilliant Mike, thank you. I hadn’t really wanted to turn a goblet but, after watching your video I think you’re right, it’ll be a really good exercise. 🙂

[@MikeWaldt]

They are great fun to turn Peter, and even when the break ... the practice is good for building skills 🙂

[@wjneupe]

Another good video Mike. Should be a useful resource for many of the newer turners. Well done.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for your kind words Larry.

[@coreygraham5485]

Hi Mike. Wanted to say thank you for such a great video and you're a big inspiration to me. I watched this a couple times, went to try and turn a goblet, my head and my hands seem to have lost connection and I chucked the goblet. Watched this video again and the addendum to this video, got re-inspired and dug the goblet out of the trash and made the best of the situation. My lathe is too small to have a steady rest so that made this the most frustrating project so far but also the most rewarding. Thank you.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Corey Graham My pleasure Corey, really glad you resurrected your piece and finished it. I too often give pieces a "second chance"...and sometimes I'm glad I did.....other times they go back from where they came ;) Cheers Mike

[@axdaogre8373]

Lovely goblet! I've had a lathe now for a few weeks and have only really had practice on a few bits of scrap 2 x 2" standard wood, my next move is to find something like you have in you vid clip. Thank you ever so much for the demonstration, out of a simple bit of log comes an item of beauty! Barry.

[@LeonardoRivera1]

Thanks for the upload! Your instructions and demonstrations are very clear and precise. And the goblet looks good, I don't know why you would underplay its beauty or proportions. Its looks like a damned good goblet to me! I particularly like the finish you applied, it shines well and shows off the grain. Bravo!

Hi Tom, I am new to wood turning. I have been reading a book on wood turning that explains each tool, how to sharpen them and how they are used. I have subscribed to your channel so I can visually see each tool being used before I move on to trying them myself. I like your videos over others and feel I will learn best from you. You will be shaping my future as a wood turner and I hope to carry your teachings throughout my wood turning life. Cheers, Brian

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Mike, glad you found it odf interest. Cheers Mike

[@brianwarner7523]

I greatly appreciate the beginner's guide approach as I have only played around for about an hour on my lathe so far. Too many other projects took precedent and I really had no idea what I was doing. I learned how not to hold a skew chisel when it caught and snapped in half on me. It was a really cheap beginner set of chisels, around $30 for a set of 8... that tells you how good they were, but then when you consider that if I had a good chisel it would have either cost me money when it broke, or taken off some body parts when it did NOT break. Either way, I thought I should find some tutorials before getting too adventurous. I have learned more in watching the sped up video of you turning a goblet than I ever would have by trying to figure it out on my own without maiming myself. So thanks for the demonstrations and explanations!

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Brian, I'm very pleased that my videos have been of some use to you, and I hope you persevere with this great and rewarding craft. Take care Mike

[@georgev5620]

I'm a new subscriber to your channel, Mike. I just purchased a mini-lathe and am just getting started turning after reviewing a lot of KZbin videos. Yours are my favorite! I have only practiced on dimensional 2x2's so far, and one 12-inch length of pine about 3 inches in diameter that I cut from a recently fallen tree branch. Learned a big lesson about sap in green pine! What a mess! After rough-turning (and cleaning up all the sap that got all over everything!), I placed it in a food dehydrator for 3 days, which dehydrated it from a weight of about 12-1/2 ounces to about 6-7/8 ounces. I am about to try to turn it into a little lighthouse. It developed a few hairline cracks in the ends that I intend to fill with thin CA glue, although I doubt that I will use the ends in the final product. In practically all of the videos I've watched are instructions to avoid the pith in a log and cut blanks that exclude the pith, and I believe I understand why. I noticed in this goblet video that you start with a dried log/branch, which must include the pith, but you didn't discuss the pith, and you turned it without doing anything about the pith. Is there some exception to avoiding the pith that I haven't come across yet? Love your channel, Mike! This video is over 3 years old, but to a new turner, it's gold! Thank you so much for what you do!

[@MikeWaldt]

+George V Thanks for subscribing and your support George. If I use a dry blank and there's is no major cracking I tree trend to no worth about the pith, in most cases though it's best to avoid it as is the general rule :) Cheers Mike

[@davidjudd9521]

Thank You Mike, I've learned a lot from watching your videos. I just turned my first goblet today. If I knew how to post pictures I would. It's not perfect but I'm proud of it. Thanks Again

I think the proportions on that goblet are spot on. I particularly like the thickness of the stem. Recently I've been tapering my stems and people seem to like it, it also makes it a lot easier. Mind you, I still have to go for the thinnest stem ever because I love to see the bowl swing off and head across the shed. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@MikeWaldt]

Flying goblet "bowls" are my speciality Brendan, believe me! As I said to Chris, if you think it looks right.....it must be wrong!!!! Take care matey Mike

[@oldbrat1]

Hello Mike, enjoyed your video on turning a simple Goblet. Thanks. My method of centering square/round stock, particularly if doing many of the same size, is to fit a bung with a sharp pointed center towards the back of my four jaw self centering chuck. Tap the end of the stock. There you have it, centered and center punched in one go. This can be done with the chuck lying on its back on a bench if you are worried about hammering the headstock bearings.

+Mike Waldt Hello Mike, thanks for the prompt response. I'd be happy to send you a couple of pictures of my centre marking setup. How do I do that? Regards Macbrat
