Part 2 of the Goblet. This time we complete the goblet by turning the bottom of the cup, the stem, and the foot.

This is the first of a two-part series of podcasts in which we turn a goblet. This is a spindle turning project with a little end-grain hollowing. It is a great project to practice your tool control and technique. In this first episode I rough out the blank to round, mount it in a chuck, hollow out the inside of the cup, and shape the outside of the cup. Enjoy!!
