Wood Turning - My Guide to Eccentric Goblets #3 

I think I like the look of this method better than the angled offset. I use a Nova chuck and the jaws have a dovetail taper and a hawk's beak lip inside. I don't think that would be secure enough to try this. I guess I need a different chuck or different jaws...or I could just stick with what I know...bowls and spindles on center. Good info and well presented. Good job.

Well Mike. I did really enjoy this series of videos you did mate. It's Amazing what one can learn from a video. Very well put together and very Informative mate. Thank you for sharing these videos......Shared.

That's all well and good Mikey but you did not cover what kind of finish you would put on.

This is a series Mike, thanks for another great detailed video. Take care, Carl

Another great video Mike. Thanks for sharing!

Another great and final lesson my friend, I've used hot glue before, it always worked just fine, yet I still have a healthy fear of using it... :) I should really be less lazy and use it more for hard to grab turnings. I've also used the 2 jaws solution for some technical turnings here and there, which always worked fine, so yeah, it's a good technique. Thanks again for making this series of video Mike! Yuval.

Hi Mike, just curious? Do find yourself putting 'interesting' looking pieces of wood in the coach luggage compartment whilst out working? :)

Very clever turning I have enjoyed all your of videos keep them coming

Hi Mike, I've never done it that way before, great idea my friend, i'll have a go at that way tomorrow. Great mini series, enjoyed it tremendously. By the way have you heard anything of Robbie in Ireland! I know you subscribe to his channel, as do I, but I have not seen anything from him for a long time, any idea! Keep up the great work...

Ingenious in its simplicity. Could be the solution to a project idea I have. I wasn't going to bother as it was to be a one-off and didn't want to spend another £50 on something I'll only use once! Thanks for sharing Mike.

Very interesting video Mike, I had not seen that method before. Cheers, Jim.

great detailed video Mike !!! this Series are perfect !!! keep turning !!!!

Thanks Mike for this series I enjoyed watching them all, now I must have a try myself! Do hope you make another mini series before long mate! Cheers, Bram.

Your Eccentric Series has been quite enjoyable and educational Mike. Thank you for sharing the simplified techniques you use. I've learned quite a bit with this series you've presented...Cheers....!

Thanks for showing us the comparisons at the end. For me it made the whole series more understandable. Because of your early videos, I turned my first goblet, I think my goblet world just got a whole lot bigger. Thank You Mark

Thanks Mike for your useful information! I also assume from your video, that your shop, like mine, is not what one might call toasty warm. When busy creating hardly noticed. Again thanks. pottsy

Mike, you inspired me. I turned a truncated cone and then moved the spur on the small end only. I have a shape that has a cross section looking like a person's eye. It's going to be a banana holder.

Great little series, I was expecting a fll sized softwood goblet at the end! ;) Well done.

Hello, Mike. Really love your videos. You are quite the teacher. I read somewhere in the past that you claim not to be a teacher. If that is true, I believe you missed your calling. Haven't started turning yet, but will be very soon. I am saving money and doing research on products and methods and your videos have been invaluable. Question about the off-center turning though. I noticed you always do your skewed center on the same axis with both methods. Is there any reason that with the first method you couldn't tip the piece away from the chuck at each jaw, doing that in a precise order come away with a stem that would have a sort of spiral shape to it. Same thing with the second method, if you used a square rather than a rectangle in the chuck, you could then turn the piece 90°and turn off center on all four axes?

Wow Mike. It's always good to learn something new. I had not seen this method before and I can use it in my Christmas tree projects. Brilliant!

Very interesting and informative Mike. Still hasn't persuaded me to try it, can't see the aesthetics of it. Chacun a son gout. Have a great Christmas.

Hello Mike! Made my first Eccentric goblet this morning and forgot to sand in between each section.Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

Great series Mike. I'm going to have to give this a shot. Been thinking of doing something different for a little variety, this may be it. Thanks for sharing, Fred

This series was very useful. Thanks Mike. Best Wishes, Brendan.

Great mini series Mike - once I have finished decorating I will give this a go. I have a question- is it possible to step the block out in say 2mm steps and then back again to move the off centre two or three positions away from centre or does this cause too much stress on the stem?

Nice going Mike. Very interesting. I have tried hot glue in the past, but not with good results. I think I have not waited long enough to let the glue completely set up. Thanks for the tip. I guess one is never too old to learn. Going to try it again.

I can't wait to try this thanks Mike. if you don't mind what type of Chuck are using in this video please?

Very Good video and a good learning series. Thanks so much or you time and effort in teaching beginners like me.

Thank you Mike for a very interesting tutorial. Best wishes, Alan.

Nicely done, Mike. Now I can build that new crankshaft for my old car 😉

Mike, I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing.

More great information on your work...thanks Mike

A great series Mike . Cheers , take care .

Thanks mike xxxx

That is not the same hot glue I've been using. I wouldn't get one full turn of the chisel before the wood would fly. What is that brand / type you are using here.

great techniques. I'd call it multi-axis turning as in my mind eccentric turning would result in an ellipse.
