Thanks for showing us the comparisons at the end. For me it made the whole series more understandable. Because of your early videos, I turned my first goblet, I think my goblet world just got a whole lot bigger. Thank You Mark

Hello Mike! Made my first Eccentric goblet this morning and forgot to sand in between each section.Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

[@MikeWaldt]

My pleasure and thanks for watching, they're good fun aren't they :) Cheers Mike

[@ChurchClown7]

Wow Mike. It's always good to learn something new. I had not seen this method before and I can use it in my Christmas tree projects. Brilliant!

[@MikeWaldt]

[@MikeWaldt]

+Bram the Wadesmill woodturner Thank you for watching and you stalwart support Bram, I really do appreciate it mate. Cheers Mike

[@richardhawkins2647]

Ingenious in its simplicity. Could be the solution to a project idea I have. I wasn't going to bother as it was to be a one-off and didn't want to spend another £50 on something I'll only use once! Thanks for sharing Mike.

[@baconsoda]

This series was very useful. Thanks Mike. Best Wishes, Brendan.

Thank you Mike for a very interesting tutorial. Best wishes, Alan.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Alan Simpson My pleasure Alan, and thank you for watching. Cheers Mike

[@yuvallahav]

Another great and final lesson my friend, I've used hot glue before, it always worked just fine, yet I still have a healthy fear of using it... :) I should really be less lazy and use it more for hard to grab turnings. I've also used the 2 jaws solution for some technical turnings here and there, which always worked fine, so yeah, it's a good technique. Thanks again for making this series of video Mike! Yuval.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for concurring re hot glue Yuval, I really have never had a joint break, in fact the wood will break and the joint stays intact. Don't ask me how I know this though ;) Take care Mike

[@fredgraber9385]

Great series Mike. I'm going to have to give this a shot. Been thinking of doing something different for a little variety, this may be it. Thanks for sharing, Fred

[@MikeWaldt]

+Fred Graber Glad you enjoyed it Fred, let me know how you get on. Cheers Mike

[@robertevans6481]

More great information on your work...thanks Mike

[@MikeWaldt]

+Robert Evans Thanks Robert, glad you found it off interest. Cheers Mike

[@alanrouse8301]

Nice going Mike. Very interesting. I have tried hot glue in the past, but not with good results. I think I have not waited long enough to let the glue completely set up. Thanks for the tip. I guess one is never too old to learn. Going to try it again.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Alan, it is essential to let the glue get as hot as possible, and let it completely cure, which can take up to 5 minutes or so, depending on the temperature in the shop. The other important point to note is that the wood of the glue block and the blank, must be dry. Hope this helps. Cheers Mike

[@alanrenwick7667]

Very interesting and informative Mike. Still hasn't persuaded me to try it, can't see the aesthetics of it. Chacun a son gout. Have a great Christmas.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Alan, very true my friend....to each his own ;) Take care Mike

[@williampotts5607]

Thanks Mike for your useful information! I also assume from your video, that your shop, like mine, is not what one might call toasty warm. When busy creating hardly noticed. Again thanks. pottsy

[@MikeWaldt]

+William Potts My pleasure William, I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and yes the shop does get a bit chilly ;) Cheers Mike

[@gilgrace1915]

I think I like the look of this method better than the angled offset. I use a Nova chuck and the jaws have a dovetail taper and a hawk's beak lip inside. I don't think that would be secure enough to try this. I guess I need a different chuck or different jaws...or I could just stick with what I know...bowls and spindles on center. Good info and well presented. Good job.

[@MikeWaldt]

+Gil Grace Hi Gill, they both have their pros and cons, but it's good fun experimenting. Cheers Mike

[@Gidjoiner]

Hi Mike, just curious? Do find yourself putting 'interesting' looking pieces of wood in the coach luggage compartment whilst out working? :)

[@MikeWaldt]

+Gid joiner I have been known to put the odd limb in the bus to the passengers amazement....lol Cheers Mike

[@valborchardt3596]

Thanks mike xxxx

[@MikeWaldt]

+Val Borchardt Thank you Val ;) Cheers Mike

[@carltonhunt8088]

I can't wait to try this thanks Mike. if you don't mind what type of Chuck are using in this video please?

[@MikeWaldt]

+Carlton Hunt Is great fun Carlton, the chuck is the Axminster Evolution SK114. Cheers Mike

[@newlanky2]

Hi Mike, I've never done it that way before, great idea my friend, i'll have a go at that way tomorrow. Great mini series, enjoyed it tremendously. By the way have you heard anything of Robbie in Ireland! I know you subscribe to his channel, as do I, but I have not seen anything from him for a long time, any idea! Keep up the great work...

[@MikeWaldt]

+Thomas Hart Thanks for the kind words Thomas, like you I dont know what's happened to Robbie, his skill and videos are sorely missed. Cheers Mike

[@newlanky2]

Thanks Mike, if anyone knows anything regarding Robbie from Ireland, (you will know who I mean) please let us know, Regards, Tom.

[@leewalker5820]

Great mini series Mike - once I have finished decorating I will give this a go. I have a question- is it possible to step the block out in say 2mm steps and then back again to move the off centre two or three positions away from centre or does this cause too much stress on the stem?

[@MikeWaldt]

+Lee Walker Thanks Lee, if you keep the stem fairly sturdy you shouldn't have a problem....but then again...;) If you try it, let me know how it goes. Cheers Mike

[@jasonhagolin3664]

Hello, Mike. Really love your videos. You are quite the teacher. I read somewhere in the past that you claim not to be a teacher. If that is true, I believe you missed your calling. Haven't started turning yet, but will be very soon. I am saving money and doing research on products and methods and your videos have been invaluable. Question about the off-center turning though. I noticed you always do your skewed center on the same axis with both methods. Is there any reason that with the first method you couldn't tip the piece away from the chuck at each jaw, doing that in a precise order come away with a stem that would have a sort of spiral shape to it. Same thing with the second method, if you used a square rather than a rectangle in the chuck, you could then turn the piece 90°and turn off center on all four axes?

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Jason, and thank you. I see no reason why your suggestion wouldn't work well, I will most probably give it a try, and see what results .. and if successful make a video of it, and thank you in it for the inspiration :) Take care Mike

[@SuperBowser87]

That's all well and good Mikey but you did not cover what kind of finish you would put on.

[@TheSafecrkr1]

I think the finish would be determined by the use & type of wood. But you would put the finish on after you completed each section. Am I correct, Mike ?

[@SuperBowser87]

jim renderer yes sir you are 100% correct ! mike and I have known each other for more than 20 years. I'm just kidding with him. I say that in all his post. sorry for the confusion buddy.

[@MikeWaldt]

+jim renderer Hi Jim, and yes you are correct my friend. Cheers Mike
