Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I like your grandmother's saying!

I have no personal interest in making a donut chuck, yet I still watched the video. I think there's something magical about your voice that keeps bringing me back your videos. You should consider doing an audiobook of some kind.

Thanks for showing your projects "warts and all". It is better to see some mistakes and how to fix them than just a project that went perfectly. In the end you still make some pretty great stuff, and maybe keep someone else from making the same mistake.

Donut chucks are awesome! Wouldn't be without mine. A few tips that work well for me: 1. MDF tapped for the size of your headstock works awesome for a mounting mechanism. No fiddling around with chucks, trying to get it in exactly how it was when you turned it - just screw it on & go. A few screws countersunk from the face of the chuck for safety avoids future excitement. ;) 2. A 1/4" foam mouse pad glued to the face of the chuck allows you some leeway when tightening the bowl in the chuck as the bowl will compress the foam slightly when it starts getting tight. This also covers the screw heads from tip 1. 3. If you bevel the underside of the donut part, it'll make more contact with the bowl, help reduce the chance of denting your work, and it holds considerably better. I've glued mouse pad material to this surface as well to both prevent it from spinning and provide more padding, but have had a hard time getting it to stick. 4. FOR ANYBODY WHO MAKES THIS, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE SURE THE HEADS ARE ON THE OUTSIDE LIKE PETER HAS HERE!!! Don't ask how I know this... When you took the bag of gravel off after gluing, did you put a golden idol on? ;) :D

No one is worthless, they can serve as a bad example. Wow, great quote granma

That was the most comprehensive no nonsense, easy to follow video on this jig build I've seen Peter, well done mate. Take care Mike

Thanks for the video. An even safer way to mount that would be to use a dedicated faceplate. Then there’s no chance of shearing, or getting loose in the chuck jaws.

Peter! You used my exclusive glue spreading trick on those blocks! No finger mess and no brushes. I should have trademarked it! Great vid. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, nice short and simple solution and saves the mony for flat lathe juck jaws.

"No one is worthless. They can serve as a bad example." Wise woman.

Nice! Always exciting to have something fly off the lathe. Glad you are ok.

Fantastic! Thanks Mr Brown!

Nice version. Thanks for sharing.

thank you Mr Brown helpful as always and thank you for my new favorite quote from your grandmother that is so perfect

Youve opened my mind to so many projects i want to do in the future.

Nice idea Peter, a very useful little Jig, Take care. Harry

Great jig! Thanks for sharing! I want to see that bandsaw circle jig, since you've now spoiled us rotten with your jig making... Lol!

Just a suggestion: if you use mdf for the outer piece and taper the inside face of the hole slightly you will get a better fit and one that is less likely to mark your work.

I love your grandmothers saying! I will keep it in mind. And I do hope she has other sayings you'll share with us. :)

I still say that I have learned more from watching your videos over the last year, and half. Than I did in 4 years of shop class in high school.

More of this please! Yes!

Must be that time of the day/week/month/year. I was wire brushing some cabinets with a cup wheel on a side grinder and looked down and the cup wheel was gone. Glad I didn't see it or it would've scared me sillier that I already am. Things getting loose at a high rate of speed can be very funny and scary. Good job, Peter. The only round things I deal with are blocks into split firewood.

i was gonna say to run some screws thru the clampy bit as it will delaminate, but you found that out, i would do it in the hardwood one anyway as your glueing to a thin lamination on the ply anyhows and ply isnt glued that great. another point would be to surface the face of the chuck side of the jig to run true to the chuck face and maybe have some jack/set bolts or blocks of ply of the back of the plate to rest on the chuck face so its always paralell to the chuck when you fit it. gives you a nice bottom, everyone appreciates a nice bottom.

Get jiggy with it. Cool Peter!

+Peter Brown You should do a Dip It with those fish rocks! That would look super cool! Like a handle or a coaster, or a table top!!!!

I like your grandmother! Great video.

a nice curvy vase would be cool to see!

i could only dream of having the set up you have. im sure it took a while to gather it all. i enjoy so many of your videos is cool to see an "informational" video amidst all the frustratingly fun projects you do

Thanks. Good video. Instead of the netting, a piece of vinyl hose cut down the middle can be placed in the hole to cushion the bottom is a good idea. It helps keep the bottom free from scratches and cushions at the same time.

I am totally crap at anything to do with power tools, but every one of these videos makes me want to build a workshop and make stuff. :)

This week on Jig it.... just kidding but this is a great one to have.

Perfect! I was looking for a budget way to tidy up my bowl bottoms, and I found it. I have this material laying around already.

been looking for a way to make bowls on my lathe without a chuck. mounting this to a spare faceplate will do nicely

Great job Peter turned out nice,already planning my own

This is brilliant. I'm a bowl amateur but finishing that bottom with cole jaws isn't the easiest on my small lathe. Thanks!

Now I been trying to come up with a way to finish the bottom of some small vases and I don have a chuck yet, they are expensive on limited income, but do have face plate so i can make one of these. Thank peter.

Well, I'm looking forward to the Nerds epoxy video.

Donut Chuck was my nickname in high school.

Thanks Peter.

Can you set up like a dashcam or something in your shop to catch the otherwise off-camera excitement? Get one that starts recording when power is applied, loops round if the SD card becomes full, and just leave it plugged in somewhere :P DIP IT #10 Flying donut bowl clamp!

he's doing that inception thing where he plants the idea, he wants us to suggest those aquarium rocks. c-c-c-can you do a dip-it??

Cool donut chuck. Every time I watch one of your videos, it reminds me just how bad I need to set up my lathe.

Hi Peter! Very useful jig my friend! Thank you for sharing the idea! Cheers! Daniel

Cool project, I've been using a friction fit to turn the bottoms, it's simple and hasn't failed yet, but sometimes I wonder. This donut chuck would be an improvement. Beeswax might work better than shelf liner.

Oh no! Now I'm used to this and will demand more videos like it!

Wow. I'm intrigued. These videos are addicting!You're absolutely adorable... Aaand now back to binge watching.

Do a dip it with a flannel shirt

You could use plywood, but not in that orientation direction. Make a chunk of plywood, and turn it 90 degrees so the sheer lines aren't in the same plane as the rest of the jig. I think that might even be better than solid wood. Just a thought.

Awesome pete!

I received one of those "wood taps" meant to match the spindle threads on my lathe....think i'll use that for the mounting point, but otherwise your method here for construction.. :) now, to find time to get into the shop!!

Very cool grandma!

Reminds me of when I made a bowl in wood shop my freshman year of high school, that was like 8 years ago but dang do I miss it, great video!

That there is a lovely jig

Great jig Peter! These are very handy.

Beautiful video, Peter. Your donut Chuck's really simple to prepare

you should make more milliput projects like a bracelet or handle.

Simple, and yet so useful!!! Awesome peter!

Amazing video

Idk how much this would help, but coloring the separate layers of would that aren't to be glued together, would allow you to have a visual change in the shavings off the tool.

when you were gluing the 3" peaces that was the tune to funky town!

I had my 5 1/5 inch chuck with the cole jaws on it come off on me one time after I manually braked my lathe. It was very exciting and very saddening at the same time.

cool project -

Thank you very much for this!!!

I really really love your videos sir. just can't get enough of them!

*FABULAS!*

you should make a lamp shade!!! make a piece of wood so thin that light goes through it OR you should make it out of a dip it!!!

Thanks. That looks like a nice jig... OK, not a Bruce-Willis-The-Last-Boy-Scout jig, but still ... a nice jig.

Definitely the coolest channel I'm subbed to! admire your work, keep it up!!!

Awesome vid!

A channel I'll never skip the ads on :) love all your videos, keep em coming 👍🏼

Muito bom, está ferramenta irá me ajudar muito, apesar de eu ser apenas amador... Parabéns... Obrigado desde São Paulo, Brasil.

Thank u sir for making this now I definitely need to make one btw I believe I was one of the a holes that asked about it but it all paid off in the end

you still gotta love those bowls with the bigger bottoms! LOL haha

great information thank you

Dip it: Aquarium Rocks? Dip it: Aquarium Rocks.

Thanks for that video was very helpful

You are probably one of my favorite you tubers! Which is strange because I'm only 12. But you definitely deserve more subscribers! Love your work

Hey, I have just recently gotten into turning. Just today discovered your channel and your projects are awesome! Keep up the great work!

So i could get used to the Brown version of Izzy. I love jigs. I might need to make a miniversion of this as its easier to make than mini cole jaws. You might want to dip that piece of plywood as a revengeful reminder ;)

Nice!

nice!

Well now Peter I believe you should do a jig series. JK But it is one fine jig you made there sir. Don't feel to bad about the using the plywood for the base or that it broke off! Been there done that! Take care my friend Mark

Couldn't you use circular cutouts with a angled outer and inner edge to size down the center hole so you only need one big jig and fit however many smaller rings into it to the right size?

You should do something with the colorful stuff that you put on the 3 inch squared blocks to hold them down.

If I caught this when it was new, I could've said- looks like the jig is up

I love you videos keep up the awesome work

You should do a dip it with those pebbles

Thanks a ton for making this. Most frustrating part of my bowl turning is the bottom.

Might I suggest a slight chamfer on the inside edge of the ring in in order to not leave a mark on the work piece. This would also add a little clamping grip due to the increased surface area in contact with your work piece. Just my 2 pennies.

Don't sell the plywood short too quickly. I have been experimenting with using plywood under tension when it is oriented in the thickness direction. I have been adding 1/8" bamboo dowels through the veneer layers to increase the tensile strength. I have been using this for phone and multitool cases with great success over the past year.

I like wood being turned on the laithe

I know dat wood glue is a pretty strong stuff, but I would add a couple of screws thru the bottom parts tho

Peter I hope that is a teaser and you are planning on dipping those runts. Ok now I have to finish today video.

yes! was waiting for this!

Peter, you know how people use beeswax as a finish? Well you should try using black crayons as a wax finish. I got some really interesting results.

What I learned from this video... Large bottoms have 5" holes. :D

Your videos are always great, thanks Peter. Looking forward to the next one, jig or no ;0)

Thanks for the JIG video- I am really getting used to these. Now, how about a video on that Bandsaw Jig?

Cheerio good sir. Excellent content as ever

forget the glue with plywood... simply screw it on. also screw the 2 circles together,, easier to take apart.
