[The1Harley04]

[SmashChopBeat]

cool! nice work man. 

[sirblocketh]

ever use steel wool instead of high grit sandpaper? im new to lathes but have often used 000-00000 steel wool to make fine finishes on wood works

[TeenWoodworker]

@sirblocketh

I often do use steel wool of that kind of grade between coats of finish becasue it won't scratch it quite like sandpaper does. I do usually use high grit papers for rubbing out the lacquer.

[lathefanatic]

good video

[airsofter21]

[Snippeplat]

Great work man!! Could you show me how to turn some thred in wood?

[ThePaddler3]

Spur center in the middle of the chuck?

[TeenWoodworker]

@ThePaddler3

No, I didn't used a spur centre in the chuck.

im buying a lathe and i was wondering. when you first started was it HARD to get the shapes and nice beads? because i never used one. also if i only have a faceplate dos that mean that i cannot turn with the tail stock thingy off? thanks preston

[TeenWoodworker]

@sandstar102

In the begining it can be harder to creat small little beads like this but it is perfectly possible. Hollowing it where it gets a little trickyer. With a faceplate you can remove the tailstock because you fix it using screws, you just have to make sure you don't end up turning into the screws. I have done several videos showing using a faceplate so check those out.

@TeenWoodworker thanks sooooooo much!

[MrBenchy35]

@TeenWoodworker you need to make yourself a center support jig using inline roller blade wheels to surpport the open end of the goblet then you can hollow out deeper with out the vibration

[minileafe]

what is the name of that lathe

[IstalkNOOBs]

Very nice. I've never attempted anything so delicate. I may try now, you made it look so easy.

[ugsduc]

well - you sure inspire and help me .. and I am 69 :)

Cheers

[MrLeonard55]

@mykmykmykkk

It is just the nova, I may go for a supernova next time but it all depends really. :p

[erikt1972]

I have been watching your videos for a little while now. I enjoy them thoroughly Alex. Very descriptive, very informative. I have worked with wood my whole life. I am just now however getting into the lathe work. I look forward to anything that you post! Thanks from Erik in Jonesborough, TN. USA

[paloarteinc]

job well done! :) i like it

[jack1111irish]

Hi Alex i was writing to ask about chucks. I have a very similar axminster lathe to the one you have and i was wondering where you purchased your chuck and how much it cost? Another question i need answering is is there a certain size chuck you need for individual lathes , now my lathe is almost identicap to yours so im sure it will be a very similar size that i will purchase. Thanks for the great videos and keep them coming i am also a teen woodworker and love learning from someone my age :D

[TeenWoodworker]

@jack1111irish

Yes I bought it from d&m tools the thread on the lathe is what you need to look out for. On mine it is T04M 1x 8tpi which is a fairly standard sized thread but you need to make sure otherwize it will not fit on the lathe. Axminster is also a good place to buy chucks if you are looking for one.

Hey Alex, Nice goblet! Isn't cherry a beautiful wood to work with? And now you've moved up to a chuck. Just having a chuck can really expand your turning capability, and it looks like you got a good one there, too. Although I don't think you ever let not having a chuck slow you down. Have fun with it and keep turning!

Alex, When I grow up, I want to be able to turn as superb as you do, Hero.

And to think I was going to use that chunk for a lidded box... You did far better than I.

[TeenWoodworker]

@Aharndts

Ha! Thanks.

Hey, theres nothing wrong with a box in fact I you may see a box some time in the furture

Thanks again, Alex :-)

[baconsoda]

That's super work!

Best Wishes, Brendan.

[ben1956]

don't take any heed of small minded people with negative comments like the jerk commenting on your voice. you are an inspiration and have great talent for a lad of your years keep it up I am sure you will aspire to Great things

[TeenWoodworker]

@ben1956

Hey thanks dude! Na I wasn't too bothered its more funny than anything, it is probably quite noticable for some people but it not a big deal by any means.

Thanks again, Alex :-)

[77dbm]

Congrats on the 1,000 mark

[TeenWoodworker]

@BushcraftNard21

LOL!

[amfinkelstein]

I'm with fireball570 would love to see a video about what he described. Keep up the good work bud!

[fireball570]

Awesome simple project, to bad i don't have a lathe. Ive been meaning to get one. I think you should do a video on the router table, techniques, safety procedures, different types of router bits etc. that would be interesting.

[TeenWoodworker]

@fireball570

I don't see why not if that would help. I will try and post that some time in the future.

IF THERE IS ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS THIS LET ME KNOW PLEASE.

Alex :-)

[versatilechicken]

make a wooden bottle =) is that possible?

[TeenWoodworker]

@versatilechicken

I guess so, it sounds pretty cool, it would go well with the goblet!

Only problem would be hollowing it out, it would be very difficult through such a small neck but i think I have an idea to solve this. Thanks for a great idea, Alex.

[40Mcollins]

Wow first comment great vid
