Wood Turning - Segmented Goblet

I go through the process of turning a Staved or Segmented Goblet, using Amazique, Purple Heart and Acacia. Inspired by Bob Pritchard of Woodgoblets.com.
Here are the links to Carl Jacobson and The Tin

Goblet turned out beautifully and it is so nice to have you back. Your explanations are excellent along with your obvious skills!

Great video. I have just started woodturning.....at the age of 66!! I really enjoy watching your videos especially the beginners. Many thanks and carry on the goodwork. Regards Ken

[@MikeWaldt]

Ken Wilde Thanks Ken, and welcome to the club my friend. I started three years ago, at the grand old age of 60, so not too far behind you......lol Take care Mike

[@THESNAF2]

Good to see ya back in the shop mate...Beautiful Goblet Mike,nice timber the purple heart... cheers Mick!!!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Mick, I happy now I can make and break things again :). I was surprised how well the Purple Heart turned, as I have always thought it was brittle, going on what others have said. Take care Mike

[@malcey12]

WOW! Dave. What a fantastic way to come back with a lovely goblet like that. I'm going to have a go my self at this. Nice to see your work again, we missed you.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Malcolm, appreciate it mate. Take care MIKE ;)

[@BlindWoodTurner]

Thank you so much Mike !! I bet it looks absolutely amazing The extra time you have taken in describing the process for myself, and other blind listeners and subscribers,is massively appreciated and will not be forgotten. Thanks,your friend, Chris.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Chris, the pleasure is mine. Looking forward to meeting up soon. Take care Mike

[@oaksho]

Hi Mike, it sure was worth the wait for you to return, that goblet is just stunning. I have to watch it again now to get the name of the wood around the outside of the blank. Plus its a fantastic video to watch again anyway. All the best Tony

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Tony, coming from craftsman such as yourself, I am flattered. The wood was Amazique by the way, in case you fall asleep while watching it again.....lol Take care Mike

Welcome back Mike and boy did you come back with a bang. That goblet turned out top class and the coloured wood looked fab. Sean

Love this Goblet. I've just started wood turning and have only turned one bowl so far. But I am loving it. Can't wait till I have the courage and experience to try something a little more challenging.

[@MikeWaldt]

Ria Baker Thanks Ria, never be afraid to experiment. I usually try something new a few times with "scrap" wood, so the mistakes I make will not ruin "good" wood. Take care Mike

[@kenwilde9208]

Hi Mike After watching this video I tried to turn a Staved Goblet..........and was successful to a degree. I call it a 'Stubblet'!! The original was taller but I had a catch and the 'cup' at the top went flying across the shed !! So I changed plans and made a smaller one. I need to improve my glueing up and finishing but I am really enjoying this new found hobby. Next is an Eccentric Goblet, pass the hard hat please!! Thanks for these videos Mike, they are very much appreciated. Reagards Ken

[@MikeWaldt]

Ken Wilde Hi Ken, I like that term "Stubblet", I have made many of those over the few years I've been turning ;). Let me know how you get on with the eccentric turning, I'd really like to hear what you think. Take care Mike

Hey Mike, I am so glad to see you at work again, have really missed you. that goblet is really top drawer, beautiful. I haven't made one in quite awhile and never a staved one or segmented, so thanks for the inspiration now will have to give one a go. I to think the title of goblet king has found the proper head to wear the crown. Thanks Mike Will

Just going back over some of your videos Mike and I have to say that, apart from a yew goblet that you made, this is my favourite goblet to date. The shape and the wood marking on the yew goblet just edge this out of top slot but this one gives the yew a run for its money. Thanks once more for the time and effort that you put into making these videos for us all to watch and relish. 😎

Beautiful Goblet! Great video and your shop was glowing like a jewel under power. Sanding is always required to blend on segmented works because of varriances in wood structure and texture. This is a great Stave Goblet by a master of the amazing goblets! Thank you Mike once again I am inspired and have some thoughts now. I watch and I learn!!!! Big hugs from California!

+Luis Aclan Glad you found the video of some use Luis. Thanks for watching. Cheers Mike

[@michaelkirk7908]

Fantastic video! I really liked your use of wax and burnishing at high speed and will have to try that myself. I have used a heat gun to dry the coats of OB friction polish, which seems to work well. I wear leather gloves so I can't scratch the wood with my nails, and the leather helps in burnishing too. I do make my goblets with a little different pattern, with a gradually thinning stem from the base up, and then narrowed near the top third of the stem, which gives a nice pattern from the outer wood pieces embedded into the stem and looking like inlay. When gluing the pieces together, I have been adding a small amount of black "non-sanded" grout to the wood glue, which turns the joints black, and which I think adds a lot of character to the goblet. Also, I started putting a very small amount of clear epoxy with micro iridescent sprinkles into the base of the cup, which lets the pattern show through but adds a twinkling effect. Some of the goblets I rotate to spread the epoxy all along the inside edges; others I have placed bits of bee's wax inside the cup to melt using a heat gun, and once melted, slowly turn the goblet at around 250 rpm on the lathe (with heat source removed) until it dries as a thin clear inside layer. Finally, I like to print out a small "Handmade By" octagon on paper, with the date completed and types of wood used, then epoxy it (with a THIN layer of clear epoxy) to the concave bottom of the goblet after staining. The normally white printing paper turns nearly clear in the epoxy, with the printed words appearing to be floating, and the underlying wood pattern shows up nicely as the background.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks for watching and the tips Michael, much appreciated.

Thanks John, I appreciate your kind words my friend. Glad you found the video of some use as well. Take care Mike

[@RayShaw007]

Well, what can I say? Mike's video inspired me to give it a go. I'm fairly new to turning but had some scrap wood and a band saw. The result? Not bad but not good enough!! What did i learn? It'll be obvious to most of you. The accuracy with which I made the staves and glued up just wasn't good enough. The turning was the relatively easy bit! So I called that a prototype, learnt from my mistakes and made another. Couldn't get the band saw quite accurate enough so did some old fashioned planing to make sure all the staves were equally square. The result? Happy bunny! Thanks Mike for showing the way.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Ray, I am so pleased that this video inspired you to turn your own staved goblet. They are great fun to turn, and they are also a good skill builder. Take care, and thanks for your support too. Cheers Mike

[@chrispowell3660]

Good to see you back again Mike. Nice project to think about what woods I can use as we are not able to source the ones you mentioned, here in Thailand. I know that any contrasting wood will work but the purple heart really sets it off. Thanks, Chris

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you Chris, as you say, any contrasting species will give the desired effect. Just try to get their density similar, as if on is much softer it will be difficult to maintain uniformity, especially when sanding, as the softer wood will tend to reduce quicker. Hope I explained that part OK :) Take care Mike

I wouldn't have lost that bet Mike! The Goblet King is back! - Not the also kind of famous Goblin King, David Bowie, I said Goblet. Your first project with the new power supply had to be nothing else than a goblet! I love the idea of stacking up the wood to get thicker blanks and with your choice of wood this piece turned into a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this experiment with us. I think the electricians did run an extra cable to you, seems like you gained power as well. Greetings from Good Old Germany Peter
