Turningwood Podcast #6 (Video)

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!!
