I think he's gonna need to speed up if he's ever gonna make money out of this.......the first one took him all of 3 1/2 minutes and the second nearly 5 !
....as you may think - I'm joking, well impressed with his tool technique, yet to do much on my baby Axminster - much the same size, hope it will perform as well.
Particularly impressed with where he seemed to be on the other side of the lathe supporting the Skew - must try that one ! (...on the honey dripper) Also he wasn't always using 'baby tools' - roughing down the shank of the dipper he seemed to be using a quite big rougher.
As to finish - I'm afraid it's hard to get anything other than that sort of finish using a nice sharp oval skew.
I currently use a parting tool for my honey drizzlers - next batch it'll be a skew.

PS: The ring tool he used for boring out the goblet - I'd usually use a bowl gouge briefly, then a round box scraper ....his way is a lot quicker and cleaner, anyone using one and recommend it?
