Thank you Mike. You are a wealth of information.

Way to go Mike!! I enjoyed this a LOT although it’s an “oldie” of yours.👌👌👍👍👏👏

Nice tips that we can all use. We never have too many chucks.

I watch a good amount of woodturning videos and yours are really good. I enjoy how you take the time to give good information at a pace that is easy to follow. I will make myself some of these chucks. Thanks for being so thorough

You are the master on tips. A lot of good ones here.

Very informative, thanks for sharing that technique!

Thank you for sharing Mike. Makes perfect sense.

Good stuff, Mike. Thanks for sharing all those useful tips!

Great video Mike & thanks for the tips.

Mike, thanks for sharing your ideas. I have made quite a few similar screw chucks. I am sure that I picked up some new tips from you.

Good video, Mike! Thanks for posting.

Hi Mike !! Another cracking video, great info thank you ....... Regards, Steve.

Good job. This was very informative. Thanks for making the video! Mark

Good job I like that screw block Thanks

Thanks for the pits M. Mike. Marc

More good information. " THANKS "

all new ideas for me thanks

Mike, a big thank you. I was trying to make off center twig pots after watching you. You used a worm screw. I have the same kind, a nova chuck that came with the worm screw. But darn it wouldn't screw on the wood. I tried it on bradford pear, hackberry and persimmon. I used 5/16 bit and it wouldn't hold. I used 32 shy bit,, didn't hold. I never could get the darn thing to even screw in. So I didn't get to make one off center. But I am going to try again using my own screw. Nice nice idea...

very useful. thanks a lot

Neat, thanks

Thanks mike..

Thanks Mike. I was turning an apple today and had a diy screw chuck. I could not figure out why the screw kept losing grip. Forgot the CA on the screw head. As usual, you rock! Thanks.

Hi Mike, I'll definitely be giving this chuck a go, it looks really handy. Thanks yet again for sharing a TIP'S filled video. I've just got a small lathe so I'm at the stage of worrying what sort of chuck I need for my turning! Cheers Andy

Thanks for your video Mike. How is the storm in your area? We are holding you all up in prayer from out here in California.

A guy could also use machined threads from say a carriage bolt captured inside a wooden chuck for certain applications.

Hi Mike, I've just brought a "farm find" lathe back to life and have started worry about chucks...the shaft is 1&1/2" with 10TPI and seems difficult to find anything that size. The plate from the back of a 3 jaw chuck that came with it will work very nicely with your ideas here...thanks.

Good video Mike. Did you buy or make the soft touch pad you used in the tail vise? I will also put some CA glue in the hole of the piece I am turning just to make it a little stronger if the wood is slightly punky. And of course if you ever drill the hole to large you can fill it up with epoxy and let it cure then drill the correct size hole. I was turning a wine stopper once in some exotic (expensive) wood and the mandrel broke inside. (It had an air pocket in the metal) I couldn’t get the broken mandrel out because the drill bit was skating on the jagged metal. I partially filled the hole with epoxy, let it cure and was able to drill the hole and get it out with an Eze out. I waxed the sides with beeswax using a Qtip to prevent the epoxy sticking to the sides. Ron

Just had to show off my brand new chuck...complete with filed out washer a the back. Thanks for the idea and great instructions. Hope the photo works... i947.photobucket.com/albums/ad319/qwaszxpl/20161010_1850061_zps3hmr9y3v.jpg
