Great video! The use of shop-made chucks is a technique that Ernie Conover promotes in his "The Frugal Turner" book and is a very powerful tool - great for both specialty jigs and general purpose glue blocks. Two points: 1. Beall makes great taps, but you can purchase suitable taps at Ace Hardware. 2. The use of birch plywood makes the threads stronger. If you use solid wood, you can accomplish the same thing by using a face-grain orientation. Tapping into end-grain will result in weaker threads.

Very usefull information. I'm new to wood turning and you answered many of my questions. Thanks for sharing.

I love your videos, Dan. As with Ray Smith, I'm a bit late to the party, but there are a lot of great tips here. I already use Dick Sing's bird house jigs, but the other stuff you offered is a big help. I found the tutorial on threading the dedicated jigs very helpful and inspiring. That and the replaceable center jig. Coming soon to a shop near me!! 8^)

Be careful with baltic birch at small diameter. I've had plys of threaded faceplates de-laminate in use. Not a pretty picture. Alan Stratton

I use these fixtures for small items which do not put much stress on the threaded area. Plus, I always use the tail stock for additional support when roughing and heavier shaping cuts. When you had your failure, how much material was around the threads on the faceplate and how large a piece were you turning? I have contemplated how much wood I need to leave around the threads on mine. This is specifically why I do not use regular plywood. The quality and thickness of the veneers and glue used in Baltic Birch plywood make it much stronger than regular plywood and there are different grades of Baltic Birch plywood. The pieces that I use are cutoffs from a local cabinet shop.

Dan Douthart I was turning a 6" vessel about 4" high. The faceplate was probably 3-4" made from baltic birch. So, a much bigger project than what you are turning. I've resolved to not use any sort of plywood for any faceplate less than 6" diameter. Even then, I may reinforce future faceplates perhaps with dowels to prevent layers from untimely separation. I'm sold on threaded wood faceplates - using them very frequently. But, now I'm more careful about the material. Alan Stratton

As Wood Turns Thanks for the info Alan. I like the idea reinforcing the block with dowels also. You can also use fixtures on the live center. I just watched your "Page Holder" video. You could have used a soft piece of wood with a hole drilled in it and attached to the live center to provide support on the finished end while you worked on the head stock end. The OneWay live center is threaded and I make threaded fixtures for that also.

Dan Douthart Goes to show what more can be done. I have a tap sized from my live center but haven't used it yet for for than a couple of faceplates and fixtures such as my eccentric faceplates and sphere faceplates. Thanks for all the good ideas. Alan

I enjoyed your viideo. always good watching ow others do things Spindle Lock I think your spindle lock is threaded. If you press it in then screw it in it should stay there without having to hold it or use your chuck key. regards Dave

@dandouthart633 8 жыл бұрын

+DaveTheTurningCowboy I presume that you are referring to the knob that is above the hand wheel. That is the indexing pin and should not be used as a spindle lock. The spindle lock on this lathe is the knob that is on the back side of the spindle, which is not threaded. Thanks for watching our videos.

I used Bing to translate your post. "Nice shame I don't understand the explanation" Sorry about that. If you can read English or get it translated, I can send you a PDF file of my paper on the demo.
