The August demo began with Ed and his wood turning analogy.
It is similar to sharpening a pencil with a knife.
He first gets the wood round using a roughing spindle gouge.
 
Notice the correct orientation of the gouge to the wood. Ed uses a home made template to size the goblets rim.
A parting tool will help for this task.
 
Getting the shape started. Here Ed uses a beading tool to get the rings started.
 
Second ring started. Love those flying shavings. Shaping the goblets outside with a spindle gouge.
 
Ed advises to sand the outside and rings at this time. Next he uses Oneway steady rest. Drilling out to desired depth.
 
A termite tool is use to hollow the cup end.
 
Ed uses a bullnose cone mounted on live center to sure up cups end. Finish sanding the cup part.
Then begins to refine the goblets shape.
 
Captive ring tool is used to begin the ring shape starting on the right side of bead. Notice first ring is loose.
Then flip the tool over and start the cut from the left.
 
Once rings are loose he tapes them to one side. Cleaning up the stem and the base.
 
Ed then moves and tapes the rings to the base. Again going trough the grits.
Parting off the base.
 
Here he uses a thin saw to separate. Finished product.
Thank you Ed for showing us the Ringed Goblet.
Ed also teaches woodturning at the Woodcraft store. Wish to learn more?
