Wow Rob this is a magnificent and spectacular goblet, you are making me so nervous. Going on so thin and I am begging you while you work not to make it so thin. It is just awesome and stunningly beautiful. Wow! And it did not break. I am not a turner but love every minute of what all of you are doing.
Hi Pete, thank you for the kind words. Wood turning clubs where the experienced guys are willing to share make a big difference. If you haven't joined one then I suggest you do, when you are able to do so. Keep well, Rob.
Thank you Mike. 😁 I polished my lathe before starting and I found a line of CA across my banjo that I think will come off with the paint..I wish I polished the whole thing now and not just the bed...that will be my next job. Keep safe, Rob
Hi Melvin, thank you for watching and your kind words. I really appreciate the feedback. I get nervous whenever I release a video as it is difficult to condense many hours worth of work into 10-15 minutes. Keep well, Rob
Hi James, I shared a few suggestions in some of the comments but essentially finish cutting each area while keeping as much wood in the areas that you haven't worked on yet. Then support the goblet once turned closer to the rim than the center line, and stay away from scraping cuts once thin. I hope that helps, Keep well, Rob.
Hi Taylor, well then you definitely shouldn't watch my flower challenge video from February :). The head isn't as thin, I tried to undercut and couldn't get it work, but I make a real nice stem. Thanks for connecting, keep well, Rob.
This is incredible Rob. I just picked up some really spalted beech and I think I should try something thin - the light coming thru is gorgeous! Well done sir.
Thank you, I was turning at roughly 1000 - 1200 rpm once it was round then I dropped down to around 900 rpm at the end. I think you should slowly accelerate and decelerate the piece, my lathe has that built in but i used the variable speed control to accentuate this, once the stem was thin. The stem transfers the rotational force to the goblet so will break when it is not strong enough to overcome the friction in the live center bearings or there is a high instantaneous force (startup or a catch). There is a risk if the bearings are sticky or the goblet lags the base that one would simply twist apart from the other. For this reason I would also avoid scraping and power sanding :) I hope this helps and doesn't seem like I am trying to teach you how to suck eggs. I would love you see your version. Keep well, Rob
@@RobBrandtWoodturning My presence on youtube is to see and learn. I am very happy with anyone who wants to explain and answer questions. So, thank you Rob for giving this explanation. And I will definitely try it once. I now have a suitable lathe for that. Thanks!
I think it was pretty much plastic once I had finished with the CA glue :) I am glad it stayed on, gives a more organic feel. The wood is also still drying out so don't know how it will end up when it is done moving. Thanks for connecting Jim, Keep well, Rob.
Use a hook or ring tool to do the inside of the goblet. The cutting edge is facing the correct way to do that cut. The old adage, "Correct Tool For The Job". woodturningtoolstore.com/product/hook-tool-by-michael-hosaluk/
@@RobBrandtWoodturning They require a lot more sharpening and a little different technique, but they work great and can leave s glass smooth finish. You can also look at a Oneway Termite ring tool.
Incredibly beautiful work. Truly amazing. All the best. Ray
Hi Ray, thanks mate. keep well, Rob
Fantastic piece! I have also turned these and to get them this thin requires great skill and patience. Amazing work, thanks for sharing.
Thank you sir, I like to see them move as they dry....not fall to the floor in pieces as my last one did :) Keep well, Rob
That Maple log you turned into a gorgeous piece of art
Thank you Sue, I am looking at it now on my coffee table. It bent as it dried, it looks better a little less perfect now. Keep well, Rob

Hi Rob, Astonishing!!! So thin and the stem is sooooooo long. Amazing piece of turning. Take care Rob. Cheers, Huw
Thank you Huw, it ended up 10.5 inches tall and is my best one yet. @Yamabiko Wood Art is a real master at these types of turnings. Keep well, Rob

Well done. That’s one narrow center! 👍
Thank you, after two hours of turning one gets a bit nervous with such little wood :) Keep well, Rob
very nice control and skill thanks for sharing ,look forward to next vid !!!

Wow. Amazing how thin you made this beautiful goblet.
Thank you Jean, it will start to warp as it dries which I am hoping will give an even more organic look. Keep well, Rob
Nice log
Thank you, Keep well, Rob
Wow, thin-stemmed goblet! Great work, Rob.
Hi Rick, thank you, high praise indeed. Keep safe, Rob
Great job. I'm still working on turning that thin. Successfully anyway

New sub. You do some great work! Looking forward to seeing what you do next...
Thank you for your support Joshua, I also appreciate the feedback. Keep well, Rob
That piece is more than brilliant I like the wood and the look of it
Thank you George, it is one of the more challenging pieces I make. Keep well, Rob
Hello my friend.
Great job with a beautiful maple stump. congratulations. See you. greetings.
Thank you Sahane, it is a wonderful piece of wood to work with. Keep safe, Rob
@@RobBrandtWoodturning See you.
Gorgeous log.
Thank you Mike.
good video well done
Thank you Mom :)
Had to flag this video as Rob was showing his giant brass balls making the stem that thin. Seriously though, the goblet looks amazing, great work.

Nerves of steel ! A fine effort. Are you going to make 5 more to complete the set? Only joking Rob. Thanks for the recipe.
Thank you John, one does look a little lonely on the mantle. I would like to make one out of Cherry, maybe a livestream one day. Keep well, Rob
