Meleck Report post Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) The one on the left has a stem that is 1/8" in diameter over a 9" run with beads every 1 1/2" and a captive ring. Very stable lathe and very sharp tools. I wouldn't dream of turning this thin. The thing would blow up on me and pieces would be flying with a plethora of religious words. Even if I am a wood turner, I'm not trying to match your tool. It's easier and quicker for me to just buy them. Order was placed yesterday.

Thanks Meleck, it was turned on a Powermatic 3520A lathe with original Jerry Glaser A-11 tools (not the new Glaser Hitec garbage the folks that bought his name are making). Turning the goblets aren't as bad as it would appear if you know the process. I have had to teach & do demos on how to turn them using a Jet mini in the past if you can believe that... I did receive your order and confirmed it today. I should have them in the mail to you tomorrow afternoon if all goes well. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Hollon Report post Posted March 8, 2012 I am very interested in this. Can i get your information so i can purchase one of these from you? Thanks, Ben Hollon I may end up making a bunch for folks that want them. They only take a few minutes to cut and turn so cost would be pretty low I imagine. I'll have to check out the shanks at Harbor Freight. Home Depot wants $5 for the sanding drum replacement pack. Worst case scenario, I could probably make them and get them shipped in the lower 48 for $10...that sound about right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
