A simple project to get me started in this amazing craft.

2″ wooden goblet

This is my first project with a 10 x 12 lathe bought from Harbor Freight.
I didn’t have the sanding papers and project finish to complete the project.
So here it is in the raw. I turned this out of a 30 year old piece of very dry
Birch wood that I had in my wood pile.

I’m hooked on turning. I can’t believe how rewarding it is. I build fly
fishing flies for a hobby but always wanted to try turning. Now
I know what all the interest is.

Miniature Goblet in Yew, after only 13 DAYS of Turning wood!

I have followed your Youtube videos for over a year before I finally got a workshop fitted out. It seems to be paying off nicely…!

Multi-axis Lidded Box

This is a piece of mahogany that I turned using a multi-axis technique. I thought that it would be simple enough to make a lidded box, as long as the sides were flat the corners would still match up. I was wrong, this was very difficult to get the sides even.
Inside is a filler piece of pine where I over sanded the lid, and you can see a hairline crack on the lid from a catastrophic catch.

Lighthouse night light

Carl

I liked the lighthouse you did so I went to the thrift store and got a nice old glass insulator and went to work. I put a cap/finial on mine and then lighted it with a led light strip I got from RadioShack and a 12v power supply. Thanks for the inspiration and the idea. I copied a lighthouse in North Carolina.
