Part 2 of a 3 part video. Turning a goblet in purple heart with carbide tools, with end grain hollowing.
This is one long video, broken up into three parts. I go through many basic cuts and operations of woodturning and demonstrate how to do them with carbide tools.
I confess I’m not an expert at everything shown here – my beads could use some work, that’s for sure! But in the end, I get it done, I think.

Check out Eddie Castelin on Youtube. Also visit his site to buy carbide cutters – he has many popular sizes. Just measure the ones you have, see if he has one that will fit.
