micro mini goblets

These are the last of the micro mini goblets. I've done the best I can do. The largest 2 ring goblet is 1/4" or 6mm. If you look in the glass cube you will see the smallest goblet I've been able to turn. It' ebony. I have not been able to measure it yet because it's too small to handle. I'm going to find someone at my University who can measure it optically.
C'mon John, why didn't you interlock the two rings?

Those are just amazing! I would be afraid to even pick them up for fear of crushing them, let alone turn them.
 
The ebony goblet appears to be about the same height as the lettering on the penny, which is about 1/16". On the other hand, it could be a giant penny. Have you heard of Willard Wigan?
 
Holy Cow John!
I didn't even see the one in the cube... Smallest I've ever turned was 3/16 high, and it disappeared to no one knows where. I keep them in a tiny test tube now...
Good work! What did you use on those- a needle?
 
Howdy John.......The ones in the foreground are great, but I'm truly amazed by the little ebony one.

Have you tried to sell any of these as doll house furnishings?

Check out ebay.....there are a lot of miniature doll house furnishings being offered and sold on there.

I tried my hand at this, but it was just a little too small for me to have much patience with it!
