Chris came yesterday and had a go at making a goblet - a first on one of my courses...
I had to find the goblet hooks and give them a sharpen as it's not something I've done for a few years. I'd forgotten the bit about squinting one-eyed into the goblet at a tool edge you can hardly see! Well done Chris.
Tom came on a sharpening course on Tuesday with a variety of chisels, knives, slashers, machetes, scythes and axes all of which went home with him 100% sharper than they had been. We also managed to make a new handle for a lovely old pair of shears and sharpen them. Unfortunately I forgot about the camera so there are no pics.

I'd love to see your Goblet hooks. I am gathering information and tools for eventually pole lathe turning here.
I've got a couple of bowl hooks, but not sure what a goblet hook looks like. Also, what is different about turning a goblet on a pole lathe?
thanks.
Where is "here" Brander?
Goblet hooks are like tiny bowl hooks and goblets are turned as for spindle work.
Here being Northwest US.
Brander - Have you looked on the Bodgers Forum? Quite a bit of info there on all aspects of pole lathe turning.
www.bodgers.org.uk
Just type a word (like goblet) into the search box.
