chas, no, didnt partialy hollow first, thought it a better idea to do indexing 1st as in my head thought it would be more "solid" for the actual forming as the "design" i had in mind was for a quite thin wall, dont know if that was right or wrong, flew by the seat of me pants really!

The safest way to avoid any catches I would think.
 
Nice work... a little protuberance half way up the stem would allow the ring to 'hang' for greater effect

No criticism implied or intended, it's just that I like to see them hanging :wink:
 
You mean like this?

Hi, Pete:
I did use a steadyrest while hollowing the bowls of the goblets, but once the inside was finished I removed the steady. The shorter ones I turned the stems an inch or so at a time, working back from the bowl to the foot without support. For the tall one I used a cone centre in the tailstock taped to the bowl and applying a little tension while turning the stem.
