Jim Overton - Jimson's Stuff's video: Woodturning a simple Kuksa style cup

In this video I show how I turned a very simplified Kuksa style cup on the lathe. Proper Kuksa are hand carved from a single piece of wood and oil finished. I part turn the piece and then stabilise the sapele before final finishing. This will hopefully produce a relatively stable and semi waterproof cup. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT I AM NOT USING ANY CERTIFIED FOODSAFE PRODUCTS IN THIS PROJECT. I used Stick Fast stabilising resin, this is available from Turner's Retreat https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/stabilizing-resin-catalyst/p770 I use easy Wood Tools carbide tools and their Easy Chuck http://www.easywoodtools.com/ I also use Robert Sorby tools in the video https://www.robert-sorby.co.uk/ The vacuum pump and chamber are from Hvac store https://hvacstore.co.uk/ 10% discount code for Hvacstore- Jimson2018 Yorkshire Grit will be officially launched at UKIWS on 29th June 2018 http://yorkshire-grit.com/ My name is Jim Overton, welcome to my channel.
