The President's Challenge for the October Arizona Woodturners Association meeting is "Goblets". I've done my share of goblets and captured rings and wanted to do something a bit different. I knew I wanted to play with multi axis turning so I sketched out a few ideas and this one leapt out at me as something different, a bit of a challenge, but also something that I thought I could pull off.
It was turned on two parallel axes, this was accomplished by removing two jaws from the chuck so I could slide it from side to side. The captured ring was turned on the off center axis and is captured not only on the stem but is also captured between the transition points of the two axes.
I still have a bit of work to do, the base isn't complete yet, I still have to figure out how to do that. Comments/critiques/suggestions?
