    Default Eccentric Magnolia Goblet

    This is the first turning made on my new Eccentric Chuck Adapter. 95.25mm hi X 60.325mm wide (at the rim). Turned from green Magnolia, and finished with Watco oil. The Eccentric adapter is rather interesting to use; see it at this site >> http://www.token.crwoodturner.com/ecc

    Default Full of Wine??

    Nah, it's just a test run to see how the new tool works.
    Thanks for the kind words.
    Cheers,

    Default Too Early For Useful Tips

    Thanks, I know that the top is too big, and out of balance, but this is just a test piece (and it does stand up on its own). It was turned at 1,270 rpm, with green Magnolia from start to 'finish'. The exterior was done with a 3/8" Crown PM spindle gouge, and the cup interior was done with a 3/8" Crown PM bowl gouge with a fingernail grind, plus a 5/16" rounded scraper (made from an old carbon steel chisel). It helps to achieve the smoothest cut possible, as sanding can be very interesting. I will try for a very thin stem, but am not sure that it is possible to do with all the whipping around that is taking place as I move away from center. The Magnolia was soft, and kept comming loose on the wood screw. To fix that problem, I removed the wood, put some thick CA glue in the hole (and a bit on the wood screw), screwed the wood back on, and gave it 45 minutes to cure. After parting off the goblet I had to cut the spigot off the wood screw (and wire brush the glue residue off the screw) but who cares, it never came loose again. More later as I learn it.

    Early on in my turning experience I thought I'd be smart and built an adjustable offset spindle to mount my scroll-chuck, 'cos I was too heavy-handed to use a woodworm screw. I quickly found out why all these offset doodads use the screws or independant jaws... a couple of pounds of solid metal whizzing around eccentrically tends to quickly destroy badly designed adapters, takes years off your life expectancy and creates unusual patterns in wall panelling.

    I'd never have thought of gluing the blank on like that, hope I remember the idea!
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.
