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
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
Wow! what a fantastic piece of work, I especially like your constant narrative giving lots of advice and guidance and of course, the finished goblet is stunning, thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill.
Beautiful piece Mike.. Glad to see you got your electrical issue fixed.. Missed seeing your videos.. Thank you for everything you do.. You have inspired me as a new turner and helped me a great deal. Keep up the excellent work..
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.
Hi Mike. I have always loved wood work and seeing talented people creating things from a chunk of wood. It's very therapeutic. Will subscribe and go through all your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I have to say that this is one of my favorite goblets that you have turned. I absolutely love the colors. Great selection of wood and the transitions are flawless. Thanks very much for posting this turning. Cheers.
Mike So good to see you back turning, and what a return! Great project explained clearly and concisely with an artistic aspect that is just amazing! I, along with so many others, have been awaiting your return, and you came back with a spectacular project! Thank you so much for all you do! David
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.
Mike you are a great tutor great you made the effort for the people that don't have sight fantastic tutorial I could watch with eyes shut that's the best ican be cheers mate
Beautiful job as usual I am definately going to try one and I will post a picture of it also its great to have you back on line and seeing your videos again
Very, very cool Mike. A very enjoyable watch as usual and a great piece. Have to add this to the to do list to try one of these days. Thanks and have a great day, Fred
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
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.
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
Great result from avery good project. I really learnt from your comments re the chuck and to keep jaws very close for a better grip. I hadn’t understood this and was keeping the jaws close to their max diameter. Please keep these tips in your videos for us relative new turners.
Delighted that you are back up and running again. As always another great project and something I will try at some stage. Always look forward to your videos.
So glad to see you in your shop again. Great goblet, it has inspired some new ideas for me to try. By the way, I do enjoy The Tiny Trailer and Carl's videos as well. David
Oh my that is absolutely gorgeous mike you have done so well think its one of your best pieces m8 really well done , glad ur back up and running keep them coming x
Thanks Mike good to see your work again I have been looking forward to you coming on again. That little goblet is just fantastic what a great Idea. I love it.
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
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
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
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
Really classy piece that Mike, a thing of real beauty! I may have to try out something like that at some point. Thanks for sharing this with us all. Keith.
Hi mike , I have to say that is a beautiful goblet, I've never seen another one like it, an amazing visual effect with segmented pieces of contrasting wood , absolutely beautiful . I'm a newbie to woodturning and this is giving me so much inspiration to get into my little workshop and get to work , so thank you for the inspiration and I'm off to view your back catalogue!!!!... Keep up the good work. Trev a newbie from the uk
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.
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. 😎
...well, yeah...I'm really late to this party...but this is flat out gorgeous!...love the selection of woods and the shape really shows them off!!! 👍...Matt
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!
Thank you so very much Erik, I am truly chuffed with the kind words from the "Bowl Meister". I'm sure your skills will produce something quite stunning. Take care Mike
Man where are my sunglasses! Great to see you back, long time out of the shop. Shop looks great and thanks to the guys who did it for you. Great project , love to see those colors shine. Take care
Thanks Daniel, I cannot take any credit for the idea, as it has been around for a very very long time, but the applications are endless. Thanks for watching. Take care Mike
Welcome Back! Very well done video and project. The lighting in the shop seems to have improved with the new wiring. Looking forward to more, keep up the great work.
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.
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
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
I've missed you and your comments too Will. You'll enjoy turning one of these I assure you my friend. If you carry on with the compliments I'll only get my head into a Sombrero......lol Take care Mike

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.

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.
