A lovely bit of turning Mike, it came out very nicely. Thanks for the shoutout mate, much appreciated. Nice Yorkshire Grit shirt too, the more I use YG the more I love it, works brilliantly on Milliput and also on Acrylic. Take care mate, Cheers, Jim.
Thanks Jim, not up to your standard on the design, but I'm enjoying the learning curve. YG is certainly a great product, and I'm glad we agree on that as well :) Cheers mate Mike
Hi Mike !! Really nice job on the goblet Milliput is great for adding a band around objects Its a shame they don't do more colours Take care All the best..................Andy.
Fantastic video my friend It's like segmenting without the agony huh? LOL Great looking piece and that finish is just amazing but that is what is expected from you. nothing but perfection. Thank you for sharing my friend.
Thank you Al, I assure you it is far from perfect, but I'm pleased you like the idea and the piece, and thanks for always being there mate Take care Mike
Just came across this video Mike as I'm just about to use Milliput for the first time myself. I've watched Jim Overton's video & learned a lot from them.
Really nice job. I’m going to use black milliput on deer antler. This will be my first time turning an antler and using milliput. Hope it turns out ok. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your videos.
It might be a chunky Goblet but for a first time try with Milliput you did a great job and the finish is terrific. Thanks for sharing Mike and you kept your head on. Take care and happy turnings. David.
Hi David, I hope you are well mate. Thank you for your very kind words, only marred by the mention of goblet disasters....will I ever live this down....I sure hope not ;) Take care my friend Mike
Thanks so much for sharing, Mike. What a splendid idea to use the Milliput - it's something my students would cope easily with, and would love. I might even take a leaf out of Martin's book and try colouring the white Milliput with some powder pigment. The Milliput website suggests this can be done, so it's worth a try. Regards. Vaughan
Hi Vaughn, I hope you are well my friend. I'm sure you and your students will enjoy using Milliput, and discovering the myriad of uses it has. Thanks for watching, and take care Mike
Very nice result Mike. I've been using Milliput a little since Jim Overton introduced us to it. It looks especially good on segmented turning :-). Best... Alan.
Love it Mike! I had to chuckle when you started turning and I could see the UKIWS patch on your T Shirt, it reminded me of Iron Man :) Perhaps Wood Man would be more appropriate :) Nice to hear Mr Milliput mentioned and I will be having a go before long, it's well overdue!
Thanks Ian....and since the making of this video my wife (Mu) insisted on sewing it, and the BDW patch onto a top I use as a smock :). Milliput is a great product, and possibly the nearest I will ever get to the dreaded segmenting...lol Take care mate Cheers Mike
3:45 I think it helps a lot if you create slight dovetail in those channels so that the milliput has no way to escape. I know it's sticky but it will help anyway
That came out really well and might just tempt me into the Land of Milliput. I have the workshop extension to do before I can think of anything else but, after that, I'll probably have a go. Thanks for showing your wimpy gloves... that's going to be my method because I hate getting epoxy-type stuff on my hands. Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thanks Brendan, give it a go when you get the shop up and running again, you'll love it I promise. Us "whimpy" glove wearers must stick together mate...lol Cheers Mike
I had never heard of Milliput, seems to be a very versatile product! Thanks for making it known to me! :-) And while looking around for it I've found a very interesting store who has all kind of resins which I have been looking for for a while now! Next time, try to post this sooner :D Nice project! Thanks for sharing Mike!
Hi Alan, and thank you. You can get both Hampshire Sheen and Yorkshire Grit from Jeff Hornung at The Walnut Log Studio in the USA, here's the link www.thewalnutlog.com/ Hope this helps Cheers Mike
Mike I really enjoy your video's! This is the first time I've heard of Milliputt. You do great work. I just subscribed to you and then Jim from your Jameson link. I will definitely be back to check out more videos on your channel! thanks again. Ron
Mike, Very nice, I have just got my first Milliput, so very timely but you left me wanting to know what the couple of things were that you had just learned? Tim
Hi Orion, and thank you, you'll enjoy using it I'm sure. Mainly I would be less "untidy" with applying it to the recess, and put some more time and effort into making the design before applying it. These are personal things that I think we all discover with practice...doing anything really :) Thanks for watching and commenting Cheers Mike
Very Nice work Mike. It looks Amazing as always Mate.. I do like that Milliput as I have used that on and off for quite a few years now, It;s a very good product. Thank you for sharing........
Another great video Mike.We all know you are the master of the goblet. I like the Milliput inlay, but I wonder if there is a way to make the alternating colors more uniform. Perhaps two small ropes twisted together like a braid or pretzel would create a more uniform pattern. The finish on this one is perfect, it's just the uneven pattern is a little distracting. Actually I have no room to talk as I have yet to even try any type goblet...let alone one with an inlay.
Hi Gil, I wanted a random looking pattern on this video, as It was genuinely my very first time using it, and didn't want to spend "days" perfecting a design, that hopefully will develop as I use it more. Thanks for the valid point though, and for watching. Cheers Mike
Hey Rob. I saw Milliput on Amazon dot ca. Don't know where it ships from, but you might want to take a look. Edit: Well. . . I looked again and it comes out of UK but several Canadians have bought it . Shipping costs may be prohibitive for you - I can't tell since I am in the currently divided states of America. Take care, -- Joe
Might have a go at that Mike I like what you have done not into art work like you but might be fun for a change. While I am on Mike can you remind me the ratio for sanding sealer mix please
I think that you could improve the shapes of the inlay colours and have them more evenly spaced but that is my opinion. I think its a highly effective goblet and most appealing and I am interested in your well explained process. thanks James
Hi James, I totally agree with you, but this was my first go with Milliput, but I think a "randomness" is inevitable with it, but maybe not so random as mine....lol. thanks for commenting my friend Take care Mike
Beautiful piece Mike. I must say it is dangerously close to looking a bit segmented! Lol I think I'm going to have to break down and purchase the YG and HS it does look lovely. Take care my friend Mark
Thanks Mark...I assure you this is as close as it gets.....maybe ;) You won't be disappointed with the HS and YG I assure you mate. You can get them from here in the States www.thewalnutlog.com/ Cheers my friend Mike
Excellent as always Mike. Was that a skew I see you use to then go over with the spindle gouge? I'm guessing you were hoping for more of triangles initially with the Milliput, which was always going to a tall order. As you have said I think that you don't like the fiddly parts. A great finished project which for the first time using the Milliput you must be really pleased with. Well done!
Hi Paul, and thank you, I think with practice I will get a more "defined" pattern to emerge...only time will tell ;) Yes I changed from the skew...as I was not getting it to work for me on that particular day! Take care, and thanks for watching mate Mike
Hi Mike, based on your experience would you recommend Hampshire Sheen on objects that are manipulated every day like a peppermill? I'm looking for a finishing product that will last for a while. Cheers!
Hi Gilbert, as with all wax finishes they require a refresh after time, dependent on handling. Hampshire Sheen does include carnauba wax, which as you know is "fairly" hard wearing, but handled on a daily basis, i really couldn't advise you on how it would stand up. Hope this helps Cheers Mike
It is always a joy for mee to see you in front of your lathe Mike, it has never been a laughin matter I love your demonstrations and explanaitions. That goblet is really beautyful. Can you explain something for mee. What is that Milliput? All the best, Júlíus
Thanks Julius, Milliput is a two part epoxy that when cured can be turned easily, that is why it is a good inlay material with infinite possibilities in design. Hope this explains it a bit. take care Mike
Hi Mike Another great video. I have been watching your efforts for some time now, and you have inspired me to take up woodturning.. I am currently trying to equip myself with tools etc. Do you think it is best to go on a course with a professional woodturner to begin with, or do you think I could learn by trial and error? I must say that some of the things I've.heard about ( people being badly injured by wood coming off the lathe) make me ait apprehensive. To go it alone.
Hi Stanley, ideally I would recommend either joining a local wood turning club, and/or having lessons with a professional - neither of which I have ever done :). it must be said that many "bad" habits I taught myself in the beginning, have taken a good deal of time to rectify, some of which I still have. I "went it alone", and in retrospect wish I had had the time to go another route. The choice at the end of the day must be yours I'm afraid. Hope this helps a little bit. Take care, and let me know how you progress. Mike
Uh oh! Waldt turns adventurer. Someone should contact the BBC. Jim really did start an international trend with Milliput inlays and it's a great medium for you to venture in to. Good Job, Mike. I have to say I got distracted by the blotchiness on the stem near the bottom of the cone, but after watching a couple times I saw it was there in the raw wood. I had to let it go. :-) All the best, -- Joe
LMAO Joe...and thank you. I bet it killed you not to say something about that "NATURAL" blemish in the stem...;) Take care mate, and thanks too for your support. Mike
Nice piece Mike . It wasn't a tree inlay , but it still looks great lol . If you did your hot glue and ebonizing technique on the lower half it might have a interesting look . Great job , take care .
Thanks Glen, and LOL. I actually am thinking of combining those two techniques in a future video...and it will most probably beon a similar shaped "chunky" style goblet/chalice :) Thanks also for watching Cheers Mike
Hi mike, just stumbled on your channel and I'm finding your instruction sand tips very helpful. Just wanted to ask some advice on something, i want to make my family beer tankards as xmas presents and so i found a place that sells whole ash wood logs that i was planning to turn/sand into shape, before i bought said logs though i just wanted the opinion of an expert, this is the link to the place www.reservoirlogs.co.uk/whole-round-logs/ will i be able to spin/sand those into wooden tankards you can drink out of, and second, will i need to coat them in something special to make them usable? many thanks.
The goblet turned out great. Thanks for sharing Mike.
Thanks Heath, appreciate it my friend
Take care
Mike
It worked out really well, Mike. I think the colours, you chose, are highly effective.
Thanks

Great looking piece Mike. I think Mr. Overton has really started an international trend. ... and Milliput should be lovin' it. JimE
Thanks Jim, I certainly enjoyed using it, and as you know, I don't normally do "fiddly"....lol

Mike
The goblet master does it again. Nice Work.

Hi Mike !!
Really nice job on the goblet
Milliput is great for adding a band around objects
Its a shame they don't do more colours

Thank for sharing this. I use a lot of synthetic stone for inlay work on my turnings. I'm now going to try Milliput. Again, thank you Mike.Fred
Hi Fred, Milliput is an extremely versatile medium. I'm sure you'll find it good, if you give it a go.
Take care
Mike
Great shape to the chalice. Just started trying out Milliput. As with anything new, a bit of a learning curve. I thought your inlay came out great.
Thank you Kevin, your kind words are much appreciated

Really nice job. I’m going to use black milliput on deer antler. This will be my first time turning an antler and using milliput. Hope it turns out ok. Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you Danny, your project with antler and Milliput sounds really interesting. Good luck with it :)
It might be a chunky Goblet but for a first time try with Milliput you did a great job and the finish is terrific. Thanks for sharing Mike and you kept your head on. Take care and happy turnings. David.

Thanks Rod, with some practice you'll get there I assure you mate.

Dose the Milliput show thru to the inside of the goblet or is it solid wood. I really like the shape of the stem a really smart look project> Thanks
Hi Charles, no mate the Milliput is in a recess, and does not show through, and thank you for your kind words too.
Take care

Great work and video Mike. Can I ask what chuck and jaws you were using.

Thanks Joe
Joe
I tried to purchase it from Amazon.ca and it wouldn't let me, apparently won't ship to Canada, makes no sense....
Woodslee Summercraft Hi Rob, just so you know I'm based in Québec and ordered Milliputt on Amazon.ca 6 months ago. Gilbert
Gilbert , did it arrive? When I tried to order it said that it could not mail to my address, never had a problem before.
Might have a go at that Mike I like what you have done not into art work like you but might be fun for a change. While I am on Mike can you remind me the ratio for sanding sealer mix please
Thanks Ray, it's great fun to work with. The ratio is 3:1 Sealer to thinners :)
Cheers
Mike
very nice. ? did you under cut the edges to help hold the epoxy in
Thanks Tom, I did very slightly, and somehow left that out of the video...I will try harder in future...honest ;)

Nice work. When sanding do you have to be careful not to heat the Milliput causing it to melt?
Thanks John, when cured Milliput is rock hard, and you can safely sand as you would normally.
Take care

Beautiful piece Mike. I must say it is dangerously close to looking a bit segmented! Lol
I think I'm going to have to break down and purchase the YG and HS it does look lovely.
Take care my friend

Thanks Mark...I assure you this is as close as it gets.....maybe ;)
You won't be disappointed with the HS and YG I assure you mate. You can get them from here in the States
