Coffee Mug Walnut

Nice looking mug. Where do you get the stainless steel inserts?

Looks good! I want to know where you got 3 hours to work in the shop! :)

Great looking piece Sheldon. I too would like to know where you get the inserts. I’ve seen them somewhere, but cannot for the life of me remember where.

Sheldon,

You did a nice job on this turning. You picked a good wood to work with. Walnut is such a gorgeous wood.

Thanks for the post.

Sheldon – Nice work; thanks for the post. Didn’t know there were kits like this out there. My wife would love one like this.

I tried one of these also Sheldon and I sat there for an hour and a half with a forstner bit drilling out the inside. Kinda bummed me out but I am not to comfortable with the lathe. Then…..then I finally fitted the liner and then I dropped the thing and dented the liner at the rim…..then I mis-judged the depth at the base and broke it off….so I spun it around and put alittle base on it…..which looked kinda neat…..but the cup wobbled so I kept tightening the jaws…...so the dent is not as noticable now that I have perfect teeth marks from the jaws covering it up…...
So Sheldon I think your mug looks really good, but it just brings bang too many bad memories.

Very nice Sheldon. I don’t have a burner either. I just take a fine sharpie and write my name and year on the bottom before putting on finish. I’ve heard of others use a coin from the year it is made and drill out a little spot just enough for the coin.

I bought mine at WoodCraft—————-> WoodCraft
, but have found them here as well → SmoothTurning

I have a craftsman lathe…. does the job for what it cost.

also I have posted a little while ago a Butternut cup.

Very Nice! This is something I must now make. Why is it that every time I look at a project I see something new for me to do. Am I the only person with this problem??? Probably not.
