Woodturning - Goblet With A Twist (Double Helix)
In this woodworking video I use a woodturning lathe to turn a seasoned piece of Apple wood burl into an ornate goblet, (with a twist).
When woodturning a piece like I find it important to nibble away at it until I see what shape the wood wants to be, this is what is so enjoyable about woodturning. big log to bowl (little bowl) but i find removing the wood in layers allows me to find the best possible shape.

HEY. Thanks for watching
Tell me below where in the world are you all watching from??
Il kick it off.
North east England
@@JackMackWoodturning you were in my recommended cause the UA-cam algorithm works in mysterious ways. I’m watching from the South of the US, was pretty neat to see how you did the twist.
Thanks mate. Feel free to hit subscribe, it’ll be nice to have you along for the ride. Not sure where we are heading but I’m sure it’ll be fun 👍🏻
Philippines
Thanks 😊
at 3 minutes in, instead of focusing on the tool and the cut, I stare at the topmost edge of the woodpiece, and you see the shape of the silhouette changing like its being redrawn on a screen.....so cool.
Thanks for that matey. This is also where a woodturner is looking while removing wood. We refer to it as the horizon. 😊
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning no shit?! Thats amazing.....what a craft. You make art.

I have never seen this channel but I've watched other wood-turning channels. When I saw this one pop up in my feed, I definitely had to check it out because I had no idea how you could make that spiral pattern on a lathe. The answer is exactly what I expected, you can't, but the fact that you made that so uniform and perfect is outstanding artistry.
Thanks Mike. I don’t think I’ll make another. I did a wooden spring sometime after this one. The video is on my channel. I won’t be doing it again 🤣
I'm a high schooler that loves crafting stuff. Spent 3 months learning how to TiG weld consistently for various projects and now I'm wishing the shop I use has a lathe so I can work on stuff like this. You're an inspiration! Thanks for making such cool projects!
Cheers James. Glad your enjoying it buddy. Definitely get stuck into turning. It’s a fantastic process and teaches you more about how wood works than you’d get from any other wood working. If you have any questions let me know and il do what I can to help you out 👍🏻
TIG welding is important. Metal working is important. Woodworking is important. CAD is important. You're just in high school and have a whole life ahead of you. Get into engineering. Nothing blows a shop guy away more than an engineer who can hop on a machine and build it too!
@@JackMackWoodturning
You are telling truth there. Great work. My dad lost his thumb on a lathe. Lol. Oops
After working in a woodshop for a year I finally decided to jump on the lathe in time to stress myself out for Christmas. Thanks for giving me great ideas to try!
I saw an old guy make something similar sitting on his porch with an old rat tail file... I said that's amazing... he said "you can do a lot when you don't watch t.v." wonder what he would have thought about you tube😂😂😂
That old guy grew up to be Ted Kaczynski
I think it’s pretty safe to say he would have hated it 😂
This is the greatest reply/comment section I have ever stumbled across
The Indian kid who built an MRI machine from scratch would like to have a word with him
at 5.7 million views that shows me people still appreciate genuine well-made goods by artisans GREAT STUFF 👍👍
Nice one John. Thanks for watching buddy 😊👍🏻
this must be one of the most aesthetically pleasing things i've seen made with wood. Well done in every way good sir
Thanks a lot man. Glad you enjoyed it. I reckon you will like my latest vid.

Several years ago I got into this bent of carving mushrooms with my pocket knife, and it quickly became an obsession with carving corkscrew stems. I did all of the work by hand, down to polishing them to a mirror finish and glazing them with several coats of linseed oil.
I have a few remaining on my display shelf to this day and would have several more if all my attempts succeeded. But with as delicate as my carvings were they only had about a 10% survival rate. I broke most of them, either towards the end of the carving or sometime during the sanding process.
One thing I always wanted to try was a double stemmed corkscrew mushroom, but never had the courage. I love to see that you were able to succeed. What beautiful work you've done!
over 30 years ago I attended an estate auction and they were selling a four poster bed with 3 spindles per poster just like this video demonstration. It was beautiful. Each of the four posters were about 5 feet in height. Seemed to be cherrywood. Most beautiful thing I've ever seen in woodworking. THUMBS UP!!!
How much did it sell for?
were the carved into a spiral on the surface but with the core still intact or carved right through.
@@JackMackWoodturning I don't recall what it sold for but it was so very special. They were perfect spirals; three to a poster.
@@PetroicaRodinogaster264 The core was gone. Just three long spirals suspended in air, all uniform.
It's rather hypnotizing when it's on the lathe. Beautiful!
Thanks a lot Hart. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 😁👍🏻
Beautifully done. That's a gorgeous piece of apple! I wasn't sure how you were going to do the screw stem. Now I get it... and it's still bloody impressive.
Thanks Neil. Did you paint this?
I clicked on this this because I too was thinking "wait you can't do that with wood turning, it's not possible" and I was right but he does it with a Dremel??? and it looks that smooth?? remind me not to take up wood turning it would be a disaster
@@amsbeats841 I went to China on a guided tour once. They took us to places like pearl oyster farms, silk factories, etc. One place we visited was a jade processing factory. Seeing things like this being carved out of jade was an amazing experience.
Jack; Really liked your video so much that I tried it. I started out with a dried piece of mesquite. I turned it down to about the size you did changing to a vase/candleholder design. When measuring out for the twists, I made it for six one inch increments lengthwise and measured the circumfrance to be 10 1/2 inches divided it by six to get the distances between squares. This ended up giving me 3 twists instead of two that you did (don't ask me why). To help reduce the hand cutting with the dremel, I used a fortsner bit on a drill press to carefully drill down into the twists about half way which helped quite a bit. The rest I pretty much followed your video. Thanks for the neat idea of which I plan on doing some more variations in the future.
Somehow I am missing the transition from one twist set to where it becomes two, intertwined.
I’m not sure what you mean ?
@@JackMackWoodturning just because he had better ideas? It's okay to not be the most efficient, your peice still looked good
@@vanjam412 sorry dude ?
@@JackMackWoodturning great answer 😂
Beautiful results. I have done spirals with gouges and knives , it can be rather slow but I like the quiet time spent over the noise and dust of using power tools
Yeah, it’s nice to take the time to do it that way. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
Круто,это из той серии, глаза боятся,а руки делают.👍👍👍

Ну нет у меня слов. Я замёрзла от восторга, у меня мурашки. Какие таланты? Дай бог вам долго, долго жить и делать такую красоту.
As a younger man I spent a lot of time on the lathe and I could never pull this off. I tried but failed. They did make for entertaining firewood.
You are a true craftsman.
Thanks Hunter. Don’t you turn anymore now?
I'm about to move to the mountains and slow down. It's one of the first things I will purchase for my shop. It's actually the reason I clicked on your video.
I wish I could move to the mountains. Sounds amazing. Where abouts?
@@JackMackWoodturning Sylva, NC area
Jealous! Can I come? Haha
Im a carpenter but teach now, your skill is simply immense, the free hand part of this (dremmel tool) blew me away bravo!
Thanks Dave. I have a similar video but even more intricate coming likely next week, then I’m done sanding… Forever 😂
This is Art but at this level of quality can only be created with a lot of skill and experience. There’s art and there’s ART. Thanks for taking the time to film it for us.
No problem at all. Thanks for watching 👌🏻👍🏻
Cool! Did not know you could accomplish a hollowed out twist like this with a lathe. Thanks for the inspo!❤
500 years from now..this will be the holy grail
Haha I had better sign it then. Will
It give everlasting life if I fill it with water? Maybe if I use it for beer I can get drunk with no hangover 😂
Wow, milling a Helix by hand. That is the most amazing thing I've seen.
Nice one J. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😉
It's gorgeous.I just love to watch people who have a passion for creating.The process is fascinating to me.
Ja sam iz Srbije, Balkanska zemlja u Evropi, stara civilizacija sa muzejskim eksponatima iz srednjeg veka i ranijeg perioda kao i savremene umetnosti, vaš rad me podseća na nešto naše, carsko iz Xll veka. To je moj lični doživljaj.
I hand carved that twist into some balsa wood Christmas ornaments. It was a pain. And that wood is super soft. Great job.
That is good going. I can imagine that being difficult. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😁
Try some cotton wood friend.
Lovely. I also kinda liked when the helix was half done. I had a nice transition from rough to refined.
Much appreciated scribe. Thanks for watching man 😁👍🏻
So many of the channels like this are just full of resin use. It's so nice to see traditional craftsmanship with respect for the raw natural materials.
I honestly had difficulty spatially working it out in my head how to accomplish this. Very impressive.
That is a stunning goblet. Beautiful. I tried to add a similar twist to a spoon I had carved, but it wasn't to be!!
Hi Brenda, glad you liked it. It is certainly a technique worth perseverance. Maybe try on something bigger first before tackling another spoon 🥄. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
I'm a self taught wood turner, had to make most of my own tools etc and I just love watching things like this, it is really inspiring and also shows me what tools are for what. I watched someone do a captured ring on a goblet last week and had a go on some purple heart I have, turned out really good ( excuse the pun ). Thanks for showing us how a craftsman does it, so someone like me can learn.
No problem Fizz! Glad you enjoyed it buddy, thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
If ur interested in pursuing spiral work further I highly recommend the book ‘Techniques Of Spiral Work’. The author does a great job of simplifying what may seem complex.
Magnificent, a work that cannot be seen in any part of the world, truly a wonderful work that calls my attention to how beautiful this Solomonic spiral is, congratulations on the demonstration. Thank you
Amazes me the things we as human beings can create with a little time, patience and skill.
Me too Ivan. It always amazes me looking at pieces I have made. Wondering how I managed it. Every project seems impossible until the first hurdle 😉👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning keep it up man because this is inspiring stuff.
Thanks Ivan. Much appreciated. I will try 😉👍🏻
I remember seeing this wood spiral in a Popular Mechanics book when I was a kid. Really cool to see it actually being made.
Glad you enjoyed it matey. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻
I'm so so impressed with your work, beautifully balanced, the way you removed the wood to make the spiral without breaking it, it looks delicate but also very strong, I could watch it turn on a lathe all day, your work is beautiful sir.
Thanks a lot Oliver. Much appreciated 👍🏻😉☺️
I watched this magic two years ago, when it first aired. I watched again in awe just now, and before our eyes, with patience and detailed accuracy, saw you create this wonder. Still, I don't understand how it was done. Your use of the Dremel (or whatever tool used for etching) is phenomenal, resulting in that which I viewed yet can't fully comprehend - how carving through the base yields the spiral effect it does. You're a genius. Thank you for sharing your skills.
I'm just chiming in to parrot what everyone else is saying. It was really cool seeing the twist come together right at the moment it became the twist. Maybe I'm just spatially stupid, but I was having a hard time visualizing how that was going to happen until just before it actually did. Then I had an "ah-ha!" moment, and the twist broke through and popped into existence! I guess it's like sculpting in that the workpiece is there waiting for the artist to remove exactly the right material. Thanks for uploading this!
Отличная работа, очень аккуратно получилось. Дело мастера боится. 🇷🇺👍
Craftsmanship ! All by hand, no silicone chip ! Thi is what the soul needs ! Good. On. You !
Thanks Rich. Much appreciated buddy 👍🏻🙏😉
@@JackMackWoodturning MY GREAT PLEASURE. ! JACK
Well done a thousand times.
I could see from the Thumbnail that wouldnt work purely on a lathe,so had to see how you did it. Quite amazing work,and i can see how the lathe really helps for the setting of the twist,before the really quality work with a router begins. Great job,and a beautiful result!
The Holy Grail of Goblets…..amazing!
Thanks Stephen. Glad you enjoyed it my friend 😊👍🏻
Also placing a small plant in it would look great imo
Even when you watch it being done it's almost hard to believe it could be.
Thanks Paul. Glad you enjoyed it 😁👍🏻
My lord that must have taken forever. But the results are worth it.
It took 7 hours.. most of that was of course sanding the helix, and a fair bit of it was spent drinking tea and cursing sanding 😆
@@JackMackWoodturning well Jack, it was worth it. I curse sanding too. 👍👍🤣😂
I've watched this video before and I was amazed by the skills this woodturner has. Now I watch it again and I'm still amazed by it. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks. Glad you watched it twice and were equally impressed. Do you do any wood turning yourself?
@@JackMackWoodturning no, not equally impressed. Sorry. The second time I was more impressed than before since I've come to realize that I failed to do a simple woodturning. LOL
i never thought it's possible to carve such a shape
Neither did I WD. Have you done much carving?
Excellent work. Love the wood choice. I did a spiral once. Used a morticing drill to cut away the center and then rounded over with sandpaper. Very tedious. That's why I did it only once. 😉
Nice one Robert. The sanding is light work with a good audio book. It is a great time to learn and zone out a little. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
I think you should give it another shot!
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous. I have whittled those double helix by hand. I made them very small and painted them up as Christmas tree decorations, but my imaginator is deficient, so it would never have occurred to me to use them in a wine cup. Watching the rapid sequences of grinding gave the appearance of hurried slip shod work, but the final product certainly dispelled that notion. Thanks once more for sharing your ideas, time and skill with us.
Thanks a lot C 😊. Will you be making one?
The table in my childhood home was made from the same kind of wood. There were stages in this where I could almost see those table legs I was so familiar with. Very good to see a work of art emerge amidst the nostalgia
❤️👍🏻
That's a masterpiece! My grandfather was working with wood like this and saw him cutting goblets, but this is next level!
Nice one Alex. Was he a woodturner?
@@JackMackWoodturning wood and metal turner, he was a teacher in mid school and they had classes teaching boys to do that. That was a good old time.
Must have been a skilled guy. Never known anyone who turns wood and metal. Such different processes 👌🏻👍🏻😉
That was very Cool! My HS shop teacher, Ashley Kirkland, would say, "Great Lathe Project, Now Let's Get This Place Cleaned Up"! He would never let us take so much wood out at a time! An working around natural wood damages was interesting too, an you did very well!
Cheers Tim. Thanks for watching 👍🏻😉
С деревом приятно работать эта стружка этот запах это искусство 🤝👍
Back in the 1960s my elementary school shop teacher made a hall table that had legs with a hollowed out twist. It is gratifying to finally see how the technique for making such a marvel.
Thanks for sharing that. It’s lovely to hear stuff like this. Did you get to watch him make it or did you only see the finished piece ?
@@JackMackWoodturning I saw the finished piece when I was at a house party.
Руки откуда надо растут!!! Красавчик!
During the whole sped up part when hollowing it out, all I heard was "The flight of the bumblebee" :D Amazing work!
Haha what a great marriage of sound and visuals that would be. Thanks for watching 😉👍🏻
Great. Now I can’t get that out of my head.
I might use it on one of my Tik Tok video’s!
im glad i wasnt the only one
Same. But as a musician and not a woodworker it would probably be weird if I hadn’t heard that. 😄
this absolute madlad just hand-burred this out... like whoa
Volumes and surfaces of revolution.
Это просто шедевр!!!Браво Мастер!!!!
СОГЛАСЕН
That was extreemly well done! That is something that can be done on an old Sears Routercrafter. It was made for that kind of wood turning. They are hard to find.
Cheers Bill, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
woodturners help us engineers alot with designs for things like shelfs
I like your username
Possibly the greatest piece of wood work ive seen on youtube
Thanks a lot CC. Glad you enjoyed it. I reckon you will like my latest vid.

MASTERFUL - a true craftsman👌👍👏🥰
Thanks Marette. Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻😉
100 percent of everyone would have started over when that knot showed up. Nice work, sir.
Celebrate the wood and all of its beautiful imperfections! Providing a piece is sound structurally, and the final aesthetic I am trying to achieve allows it, I will usually just roll with the character the wood provides wherever possible. Thanks for watching man 😉👍🏻
VERY true !! Plus, great luck in not having a pre-work 'impossible to have known' internal defect in the wood .. Nothing like a internal iron spike in the wrong place ! Might it be worthwhile for one to have the stock 'X-rayed' before starting the investment of sOOO much time, skill, and energy .... I, being 'chicken' would think of that ... You being as brave as Michelangelo (who was a SCULPTOR, NOT a painter, when he took on the Cistine Chapel ceiling!!) I admire your bravery!
Thank you so much for this video and for your fine craftmanship!! I had long marvelled at the amazing Italian ivory carvings with this twist and couldn't fathom how it was done - wow! Your goblet in apple wood is amazingly beautiful and so romantic - complimenti ❤
Now imagine this being done 300years ago, handcrafted.
Might take a little longer 🤔
Tartarians coulda done it
Love watching the Dremel finishing the twist as it burrows to the other side! Another angle would be awesome to see also. Great work!
Thinking about making something more intricate with a tighter angle. Watch this space! 😁👍🏻
Quem faz a obra dessa é um artista verdadeiro, parabéns 👏 isso som é um artista criterioso gostei demais 👏 thank-you Sou de BHTE 👍 Deus lhe abençoa 🙏

Dear Jack Mack - thank you posting videos! Your work is so wonderful !
My grandpa made several sets of candlesticks that were twisted like yours. He didn’t own power tools, however. This was back in the early 1900’s.
I would love to learn woodworking and cabinetry.
What awesome craftsmanship. The double helix design looks amazing.
Thanks Lando. Glad you enjoyed it 😉👍🏻
I carved a single spiral in a piece of pecan with a Morakniv Companion. That was one hell of a chore. It's kind of neat when you break through the middle 8:24 it's kind of a turning point when you realize that you really have done something. It seems like you could use a thread turning setting of some kind on a lathe. Something like a very large 2 start acme screw. Idk, just a thought.
I have seen it done and I guess thats how they do it commercially. Open bine barley twists are the gold standard and you rarely see those on furniture..
I usually twist my wood in the morning, feels great
Poor guy 🤣
I don't usually watch these kinds of art videos, but the element of symmetry makes seeing this enjoyable (which probably is the same reason why i find pottery videos enjoyable lol). Anyway, great job!
Nice one T. Are you a potter?
@@JackMackWoodturning nah, I'm just an average Joe with too much free time to watch random UA-cam videos lol. It's just that, seeing what started out as a whole solid wood or shapeless clay turn into something shaped so evenly and proportionally, is somewhat satisfying to me.
Yeah I know what you mean T, I feel the same. Thanks for watching man 😉👍🏻
Watching this reminds me of why I got a C- in wood shop class. This guy rocks.
Haha thanks Erin. Practice makes perfect 😉👍🏻
This is a legendary wooden twisted-stand goblet. All craftsdwarfship is of the highest quality. Evry dwarven lord would be honored to drink from it at a feast.
The only twist is you cant turn it in to the trader as it is an artifact xD
And at the bountiful feast, deep within the mines of Moria, the Dwarven king raised his spiral goblet in toast to the greatest woodturner to ever walk middle earth.
Probably more than one twist tbh
I bet it’s nothing like as easy as it looks! Looks like walnut? Amazing how different it looks with oiling or varnishing. It brings out the colours and textures exquisitely
Apple burl. Glad you enjoyed it. Worthy of the wine?
@@JackMackWoodturning absolutely
Very skillful use of the gouges, skew and scraper chisels - not a catch to be seen. Most satisfying to watch.
Nice one bro. Are you a surfer?
Мы были свидетелями рождения ШЕДЕВРА!
Its so satisfying to see the moment you start to put the finish on it.
That is my favourite bit too 😂😉👍🏻
@@JackMackWoodturning I believe you. That's a beautiful piece too.
AD-MI-RABLE !!! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks B. Glad you enjoyed it buddy 👍🏻😊😉
You’re a magician with that lathe. Well done good sir
Невероятно!!! Это очень красиво!!!
Was expecting a crunch or cracking noise in a few places in the video. Man's got skill
Thanks J, it is rather delicate 😉
Outstanding video. I’m sitting here on a Sunday morning watching it with a cup of coffee thinking: “I sure wish I could do that” !!! Thanks for posting.
I've got to stop watching these videos. I'm hooked. What sort of black magic is this.
Depois de todo esse minucioso e talentoso trabalho, vem o guri correndo pela cozinha, puxa inadvertidamente a toalha da mesa e lá se vai a preciosidade da casa. kkkkkkkkkkkkk. Mas que o trabalho foi instigante e bem elaborado foi. Uma obra prima. Parabéns!
Aí é osso!
Мастер - золотые руки! СУПЕР!
Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
Love from 🇬🇧
If I were to try this, I would definitely accidentally break one of the twisties at some point.
It is a rather fiddly task. The wooden spring was even more delicate though 🤣👍🏻👌🏻
Professionals only 🤦🏻♂️😂 same here lmao
You might surprise yourself 🤣
@@JackMackWoodturning A couple more and a comfy mattress you can cobble together. 😎
I have faith you wouldn't
I may
Absolutely amazing! I am impressed that you saved the helix part for last showing your confidence that you wouldn't have to start over and re-turn the cup and all the other details..
Thanks Bugs. Practice makes perfect I guess. 👍🏻😉
Would be even worse to finish the helix and then accidentally brake it while turning the cup. So I'd say he went for the safer option.
Meu amigo que trabalha lindo 👍👍 parabéns 👏👏.🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
8:09- 8:40 could be paired with the music 'Flight of the Bumblebee' 😁🐝🐝🐝 well done! The goblet is lovely!
that started going through my head too!
Замечательный Кубок!!!
Браво! Браво! Браво!
Sorry I have no way of translating this comment 😕
Absolutely amazing 🤩
Thanks dude 👍🏻
Love those long strips you take when you turn, you keep your tools as sharp as your skills.
Nice one Thomas. Thanks for watching 😁👍🏻
You are truly a gifted skilled visionary! I have never seen your equal. Thanks for sharing...and helping me think about my dad who loved woodworking so much.
Thanks again
Fantastic! Thanks for posting this!
Great video!! If I had one suggestion it would be to make a three sided box to cover your lathe bed when you do finish work, glue work, stain work etc. Hands down my biggest regret with my first lathe. I basically bought a rectangle cardboard box, cut out the bottom of one of the long sides, built a quick handle and covered it with packing tape. Keeps my bed lathe literally look like the day I bought it.
Thanks for the advice Patrick. I will look into this. 😁👍🏻
Very nice. Thought you might have a hard time keeping it together where the burl was in the stem, but looks like it was solid. Beautiful work and finished product.
Thanks Doug. Glad you enjoyed it man. Thanks for watching 🥳😁👍🏻
Yeah that was burly
One of the best things about these videos is that they can't be faked!
