In this video I am reviewing the Longworth Style Chuck and the 8011H Extra Heavy Duty Square Nose Scraper from Robert Sorby. The best way of demonstrating tools is to use them, so I turn a large sycamore bowl with full thickness marbled Milliput Inlay.
I am using the 14 inch Longworth Style Chuck ( other sizes available ) and the Robert Sorby 8011H Extra Heavy Duty Square Nose Scraper
( in North America the scraper is exclusive to Woodcraft )
I purchased the Longworth Style Chuck and the Sorby Scraper from Turner's retreat in the UK.

Thanks for video. To reduce vibration you could leave the bowl rough turned when adding the Milliput. Then you will be able to true up after a couple of days. I have a similar chuck and want a big scraper too... when using the chuck, it’s suggested that tailstock is retained for as long as possible, to keep revs to less than 600rpm and to release the tension in the buttons before storing. Should be useful for a long time and new buttons are not expensive - don’t need other h/w. Milliput and a plain wood complicate each other.

Thank you very much Simon. Yes I try to maintain tailstock support as much as possible these days. The big scrapers are awesome bits of kit and well worth getting. The only problem with rough turning and adding the Milliput is that yo will use a lot more of it. Cheers Jim

Thank you so much, Jim for a most interesting video. The two new tools are "must haves" for me. I especially like the longer pegs and general ease of use on the Longworth -style chuck. It's great to see a young person now uploading woodturning videos. The club to which I belong has about fifty members and I regret to say there is hardly any young blood coming along. Best wishes, Alan.

@JimsonMakes 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you Alan. I was very pleased with the tools. The Longworth style chuck was much easier to use than I was expecting and gave a lot of control over pressure applied to the bowl. It is a shame that younger people are not acquiring making skills, I blame too much health and safety in schools! I think that once someone feels the sense of satisfaction they get from making something, they will be hooked. All the best Jim

Hi Jim. Loving the great stuff you are doing here. Just started turning myself and had a go with using Milliput straight through the bowl wall, but without the Epoxy being added in advance. Had expected it to fail with the top half flying off, but it actually worked. Can't wait to show my mentors later this week. Thanks again for the inspiration, and see you at Maker's Central 2019. G

I had wondered whether a through Milliput band was feasible -- and you've given a definitive answer in a very good looking bowl. It's always nice to have someone else answer life's nagging little questions :-) I've used and liked extra heavy duty M2 scrapers from Hamlet, but I prefer the more uniform, longer lasting burr I get from my D-Way M42 tools. So, I add a bottom plate soldered on with low temperature silver solder. Best of both worlds now. It's a little scary sometimes what the extra time available in retirement can lead to :-D Clyde

Fantastic idea on the full inlay. Good to see you make another vid like this. Just wondering, do you use the rotating ability of the headstock on your lathe often? I think I would like that and would buy that lathe if I could get it here. We all need to pass on "Charlie the Maker" videos to our grand kids. Cheers, Lee

@JimsonMakes 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much Lee. I was a bit nervous about the full thickness inlay but it was fine and is probably no weaker than a segmented bowl ! They rotating headstock is great for bowl hollowing and I do use it but it is not so good for getting decent camera angles for the video work. Perhaps when i get round to making a decent camera gantry I will show it in action a bit more. The AT1628VS certainly is a great lathe although the price of it has gone up a lot since I purchased mine ! Hopefully Charlie can inspire a few more youngsters. Cheers Jim

Beautiful. So far I have only used Milliput as a void filler. Terracotta on cherry, and it's blends very well. However, I would like to try some of the other techniques you have demonstrated. I normally finish my work with 320 grit and then the 3 part Beal system. Do you think this will give a good finish with Milliput. Thanks. Montana Wood Art.

@JimsonMakes 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. I have not used the Beal system but if it works on wood the chances are it will work on Milliput, just be careful to nor let it build up too much heat. You could always make a small test block first and try that. Cheers Jim

Hi Jim, I found the video researching the Sorby Longworth chuck. Can I ask what your experience/feedback has been with the chuck - Kind Regards

@JimsonMakes 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Chris, many thanks for watching my video. I really liked the Longworth chuck, it is fairly quick to use and secure but I have to admit that since I was given an Easy Chuck with the Big Easy jaws I have not used it. The longworth Chuck has a big capacity and is quick to use but I still find it quicker to use the Big Easy Jaws. There is obviously a big cost difference between the 2 systems and the Longworth should attach to your existing chuck. If I did not have the Easy Chuck, I would happily still be using my Longworth, I may still use it on occasion if I need longer pegs for a more secure fixing. Cheers Jim

@chrissullivan2948 4 жыл бұрын

Jim Overton - Jimson's Stuff Thanks for that Jim - I’ve just purchased an SK114 chuck. The Big Easy Jaws appear similar to the Axminster SK100 Button Jaws - 400mm. Something else to think about. I would imagine the button type jaws - whatever make - will mount irregular shaped bowls - Stay Safe

@markhobster8113 7 жыл бұрын

just and observation mate but you have the french curve scraper which you turned into a negative rake scraper, that I assume would be better used for the outside of a bowl to drag along from foot to rim as apposed to trying to keep the square nosed scraper at 90 degrees on a curve ;) also i have found using my home made cole jaws which im now going to replace lol, if you hold your bowl with the tailstock onto the longworth chuck prior to closing the grippers it will make it absolutely centered and zero chance of the bowl dropping off when mounting the chuck to the lathe 🖒

@markhobster8113 7 жыл бұрын

that said my cole jaws expand to 40cm so ill keep them for bowls wider than the longworth accepts

@JimsonMakes 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Mark, yes you can achieve the same result with a curved scraper but a curved scraper is slightly more likely to create low spots and a flat nose is very good at ironing out ridges, creating a very smooth curve. A curved scraper will follow an existing contour but a flat nose scraper will emphasise areas where the curve is less than perfect. I did bring the tailstock up to keep the bowl centred before I did the final tightening of the bushes. Cheers, Jim

@markhobster8113 7 жыл бұрын

cheers mate I didnt think about the curve scraper problem, the tailstock bit I did see that :) , I was just meaning to stick the Longworth chuck on the spindle first then use the tailstock to hold the bowl upto it before rotating the back plate, minimises the risk of lifting up the chuck to mount it on the lathe with the bowl a bit loose 🖒 , I do that with the cole jaws but you have the advantage of the front plate not moving, my way on the cole jaws means when tightening the quadrants rub the back of paper towel which can then rub the rim if the tailstock is too tight. im definitely going to grab a longworth chuck though, Ive been meaning to order a couple more versa chucks also and do away with the axminster old clubman

@JimsonMakes 7 жыл бұрын

I know what you mean about mounting with the tailstock, I was just being careful to follow the manufacturers instructions, which I felt I should as it was a review. I think tailstock pressure may impede the smooth movement of the chuck mechanism, I will have to do some experimenting. Cheers mate, Jim

Yes, certainly worth a go, I was a bit worried about strength but it is probably as strong as a lot of segmented pieces. I would recommend coating the recess in a good quality slow setting epoxy before placing the Milliput to ensure a good bond. Good luck, Jim

Great looking bowl and a very clear video. Quick question: did you use sanding sealer to stop the colour from the milliput running into the grain? I seem to recall that you do on some of your other videos.... I've been doing some experiments with liquid epoxy inlays and have been having some trouble with the colour seeping into the sides of the recess.

@JimsonMakes 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you. I only used sanding sealer as a finish on this bowl. I used a slow set epoxy resin in the recess to increase bond strength. I have done some work with coloured liquid epoxy and it can bleed into the grain on certain woods, sanding sealer certainly helps prevent this. It helps if you get a very sharp clean edge to the recess. Cheers, Jim

@torresthewonderdog 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the info. I guess in this case the resin might have done a similar job to sealer.

@gbspikyfish 7 жыл бұрын

Jim, another great video (and a really nice bowl) - many thanks. Couple of questions: I've just bought my first scraper (a relatively small square nose). I take it you do tilt them down slightly when making cuts on the bowl (it wasn't obvious from the video)? I notice you're sometimes using a fingerless glove on your left hand - isn't that risky (in terms of the glove material getting caught)?

@JimsonMakes 7 жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. Generally I am using the scraper fairly level but I may tip the nose down slightly if I am getting tear out. In the case of this bowl I got no significant tear out when using the square nose scraper on the outside. I have some scrapers that I have ground a second bevel on the top to create a negative rake scraper and this negates the need to angle the nose downwards and produces a very clean cut. You can also rub the bevel on a scraper by dropping the handle and gradually raising it until the cutting edge just starts to engage, the best thing is to try a few different things or better still get a proper lesson of a pro Woodturner, you can learn so much more than watching amateurs like me on KZfaq. It is risky using a glove when turning and great care should be taken when doing so. I only wear one when I need to and the reason I used one on this project is that the shavings that come off these kiln dried sycamore bowl blanks can be extremely hot and I have burnt my hand in the past. Cheers, Jim.
