A great project and a wonderful video. Thanks for putting the surprise in, it helps us all to remember the unexpected can happen while turning.

Congratulations on your newborn son!

Brett, that’s a very nice goblet and a well made video. BTW, I went to your website and took the tour of your shop. You have a very nice shop and that video was enjoyable as well. Thanks for posting. The surprise was a little scary looking.

Thank you to everyone!

I left the surprise in because it happens. I was just about to stop with the parting tool and cut the last little bit with a saw with the lathe off. There was enough friction to break the small amount of wood still holding the pieces together and then…. SURPRISE! it happened. Another good lesson learned.

I am glad that you all enjoyed the video and thanks again,
Brett

Nice work. I would recommend that you not hold the drill bit in your hand while boring the hole… if the drill bit caught it would start spinning and really do some damage.

Thank you Rustic!

Thank you for the tip about the drill bit. If anyone doesn’t feel confident or if a procedure feels unsafe, DON’T DO IT! I have no issue with using the bit in the manner that I used it but, I would NOT use a bit larger than 3/8” in diameter or longer than the 4.5” of depth of the bit. Anything larger than that I wouldn’t be comfortable with personally and would use a chuck in the tailstock to hold and drive the bit. This is my personal comfort level. A person cannot go wrong erring on the side of safety and I do appreciate your insight. Thank you again.
