Teeny Tiny Tulip Goblets

[Gary Max]

Someone asked how small could I turn a Tulipwood goblet.

Without any special micro tools--here is what I came up with.

SWMBO has laid claim to them already. I started with a 5/8 inch pen blank cutoff.
Hope you enjoy.:D

Very nice Gary, my eyes wouldn't be able to see that at the end of lathe. :rolleyes:

[David Fried]

The only way I could do that would be to find dimes the size of dinner plates! . :D Really nice! Thanks for sharing

Got a email that said something about-- being glad I did not try a captured ring.
Oh David how about a plate smaller than the goblets made of tulipwood?
And just for the heck of it what they look like on a lathe.
I did have to use dental tools to cut the ring.:D

Thanks for all the kind words folks. I guess that is what it's all about for me---I want this to always be fun.
