Howdy Chris! Thank you for your comment. I felt bad for making the project on a screw chuck that is hard to find. I felt I needed to present some alternatives. All the Best.
Howdy, Brother! All great screw chuck tips and especially the one at 6:53. I'll be using that one and will share with friends. Thanks for all your examples and precious shop time.
Cip check into hardware stores here in the states they carry an idem called called "Door Bumpers" that screws into the base boards in houses and is long enough to protect the walls from doorknobs banging into them and knocking a hole therein. God Bless my friend.
Howdy Val! Yes, Penn State is where I purchased the 1 3/8 inch expansion chuck, but no #2 morse taper chucks. I guess no one makes them anymore. Cheers
Hi Cip, Great videos :-) I very much enjoyed watching them. I have a question. I am looking at buying a wood turning lathe. Never had one, don't know much about it. What do you recommend? I plan on turning essentially tool handles and small items, nothing large. Maybe small bowls at the most. Thank you for your help!
Howdy Alain! If you are going to turn tool handle especially lathe tool, you will need a medium lathe. The bed must be long enough for the longest handle/spindle you will turn. My medium lathe(full-size) is a Nova 1624, 6-speed. Jet also makes some very nice lathes. Your budget is an important factor. You might look at used lathes. They a very durable and turns often move up. I hope that helps; just my thoughts. Cheers
Howdy Dan! Thanks for the question. I've been wanting to make more videos but it just has not happened. I started a second channel about other things I like to do; technology, e.i MIDI keyboards, music, microphones, drones, and computers: "Cip's Techi Tips" We have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. That also keeps us busy. I've been cleaning and organizing the shop/studio. Maybe I can start back on woodworking before the end of summer. Cheers.
