Goblet

[kwgeorge]

Well I am still playing with that large Cedar branch and made another Goblet.



So for anyone interested I had a couple requests to do a tutorial on how I make a Goblet so if you’re bored or have nothing to do;

Beautiful goblet, Ken. And thank you for showing us how its done right.

Ken
As allways, beautiful work.

How about showing a picture of a screw up, if you make any. I would love to say Ken you need to work on your technique instead of endlesly trying to improve mine to come close to your work.

Thanks Ken, have it bookmarked.

Nice tutorial Ken. I enjoyed it. Thanks

Good looking work, as usual, Ken.
As someone else has said "do you ever screw something up?"

[Pappy]

C'mon, Ken...Who really turned that? It's way too big to be yours!

Beautiful work Ken!

Ken:
You have presented another excellent and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks so much!

Thanks for all the nice comments on my work and the tutor.

In answer to the question about me making mistakes well, I would love to tell you that I don’t ever make any and that I have not in the past and all this just comes natural to me. But of course that would all be untrue and we all know it. Fact is I have made a lot of mistakes on my journey. Most of them I keep around for reminders and if you really wanted to see them I would be more than happy to create a failed gallery! I have blown out pen blanks, I have bowls I have hollowed through the bottom (make nice bench funnels), broken stem goblets, broken out spigot on bowls and some become just “re-design opportunities”. I don’t make so many mistakes now as I used to as I learn from my mistakes and I have found that most are caused by my own impatience. One day I was hurrying on something trying to get it done and it hit me! Why am I hurrying? What else do I have to do? Since I came to that revelation I have made a lot less mistakes and I just take my time. I do learn from my mistakes and if you read my tutors I always pass along my lessons learned in an effort to keep the reader from making the same mistakes I have in the past.

If something in turning is not working for you then try another technique. The really cool thing I have really come to the conclusion on in turning is that there is no wrong way to do things! A caveat to that would be if it is a danger to you, your tools or your equipment then it IS the wrong way. What I show you is the way I do things. This may not necessarily work for you but does for me at this time. I may change later and do things a different way but hey that’s all part of the never ending learning process for turning as well as woodworking.

Oh by the way, Pappy, []

We think alike!
