Wood Bowl Turning Without A Chuck Woodturning Video
Is it possible to turn a wooden bowl without a chuck? The answer is yes! For various reasons, some people don't want to turn a wood bowl using a chuck.
In this video, I will share with you how to turn a wood bowl without a chuck. And the added bonus is I'll be using a very small amount of equipment in the process. So, if you're curious about turning bowls but haven't yet committed to the process by purchasing a four jaw chuck, try this technique to get your feet wet.
If you decide you like turning wood bowls, then you'll probably want to get a chuck to make the process a bit easier and more efficient. But in the meantime, watch and learn how to turn a bowl without a chuck.

Best turning videos on RU-vid. I’ve learned so much from this channel! Thanks.

@TurnAWoodBowl 2 года назад

Wow, thanks! I appreciate your kind words! All the best to you and Happy Turning!

@bobraasch8699 8 месяцев назад

This a wonderful, well explained method using the faceplate which comes with most lathes when new. No need to make that "exact tenon" for jaw check use. The face plate is very secure so no opportunity for the bowl to become a flying object, if proper screws are used.

@TurnAWoodBowl 8 месяцев назад

Bob, yes this works well. Thank you, and Happy Turning!

@aussielen3285 2 года назад

Purely as an observer (subscribed), I’d say the end that you’re going to screw the faceplate onto could be hollowed out (not deep) just enough so that the faceplate is snug in there.. then, when you flip the bowl it should be almost true…. I don’t turn, but I’m fascinated with the techniques, and Kent’s knowledge and skills are incredible!

@TurnAWoodBowl 2 года назад

Thank you, Len! That sounds about right. Happy Turning (maybe some day)!

@BrentLink 2 года назад

I've been turning since 1991. Primarily, turning small boxes, goblets and earrings. I'm sure I must have turned over a hundred bowls over those years and have never used a commercial wood holding chuck. I do use shop made Jam and Vacuum chucks though. Ya don't miss what ya never used! Like you, a Face Plate and Bowl Gouge does the job. Thank you for showing others how it's done, - step by step. Especially those "always" tense moments when parting off a perfect bowl. Good job Kent! Wakodahatchee Chris

The same way but with a glue block I'm pushing 70 and have been doing that since my days in high school I finally broke down and bought a 4 jaw chuck and literally turned a cherry burl bowl today with the thing 01/25/23 !!!😁 Why I didn't get one before now I'll never know it cut the turning time in half! Stubborn I guess my lathe is 83 Years old this year handed down to me from my grandfather I rebuilt it about 20 Years ago I'm a retired cabinet maker and contractor !!! LoL 👍

Most importantly, I'll keep sharing your channel with my friends and anyone else that asks me if I know where they can go to learn bowl turning. I have also used your gouge cutting techniques to help me on my spindle turnings. What you teach has applications to all turnings. THANK YOU!! 😁😁👏👏🤝

@jarmstrong2843 3 года назад

When I use a spur drive, I drill a hole a little larger than the diameter of the spur about 3/4” -1” into the wood. This acts as an extra safety measure when turning large pieces of wood. If the Spurs were to lose their grip in the wood, the hole would at least keep the blank on the lathe instead of flying off and potentially cause injury. Doing this is not going to hurt the blank since it will eventually be flipped around for the face plate mounting and the hole will be removed during the bowl hollowing process.

@davidgates5380 3 года назад

Thank you once more for an extremely helpful and educational tutorial video, Kent. For me it is not just the three tool method, but your technique at each stage. The open flute is interesting where you take off the ridges inside the bowl, as I have learnt to be very afraid of an open flute inside a bowl. I go in with closed flute, ride the bevel and gradually open until it just starts to cut. Your advice on my method and the potential snags I might get would help me. Take care stay safe and please keep these invaluable detailed tutorials coming. From across the globe in South Africa, you are teaching the world to turn.

@TurnAWoodBowl 3 года назад

David, Thank you for writing. Yes, the open flute can be dangerous. However, pay attention when I use this technique. I only open the flute for very light finishing cuts and not when removing larger amounts of material. Keep practicing and you too will eventually feel more comfortable opening the flute as you progress. Happy Turning!

The things you present are well done and it is a talent in itself. Slowly recovering from a few operations and my wife as well, this retired manual machinist is transitioning to small wood crafts to eventually make ends meet, and even be a blessing to others. I am starting from the ground up. Your presentations keep my interests alive as I make my first beefy carving table, and rebuild my first Delta lathe. Keep up the good work. You are a blessing to others.

You are great. Love the video. We do get used to our tech toys as chucks and the variety of knives, we are spoiled and because narrow minded In a way. Watching your video it was an awakening! Oh yes that’s right! Well I get it. Try to use the basics at times. The thought at first was like turning with one hand and the left!! Very good tutorial. Thank you for showing me were the starting point is. I’m laughing out loud yes I’ll do that ...uh no.

I Just bought a lathe, this video is definitely for me. I plan on purchasing a jaw chuck once I figure which one would be best for me.

Very good! I purchased A lathe well before I knew my skill,talent and passion was in sculpture carving but after watching this video I realized a lot of things that discouraged me that you helped bring to light. I might try to make a bowl here in there thank you

@TurnAWoodBowl 3 года назад

Wonderful! You can do it. Be patient and willing to practice and you'll be making the bowls you imagine. All the best to you Happy Turning!

That is some pretty wood, I turned my first bowl pretty much the same way you showed us.

Thank you and Happy Turning!

Great video, recently scored a cheap Craigslist lathe and I've got bowl stock but it'll be a minute before I can swing a chuck so this is a godsend, thanks

@TurnAWoodBowl 3 года назад

Sounds great! It's good to know both ways. All the best to you and Happy Turning!

This is how I was taught to turn at school in the early 70s... more years ago than I care to think about! Also with a face plate and green beize to cover the holes. Happy days... :-)

@TurnAWoodBowl 3 года назад

Very cool! It's good to know how to turn a bowl without a chuck. Today, that's a special skill. ;) Happy Turning!

Hi Tony - I was also taught much like you, in the early 60s.. With a 16" D. x 5" thick blank, and 1/2" screws into the wood - I was convinced it would fly off... We also had a sneaky/neat way to fix the baize to hide the screw holes... but it needs a diagram to explain properly... I remember suggesting that we could use a metalworker's chuck... and the tutor sanctimoniously replied: "We don't do things like that, here..." lol

@harryinhuahin1272 3 года назад

I don't recall being told about the 'jam-chuck' idea, back then - maybe our tutor was not a lathe devotee...

Great video, thank you. I'm new to turning and am struggling to get to grips with the chuck, so this method will helm me to get my cutting skills off the ground without risking damage.

@TurnAWoodBowl 3 года назад

Glad it helped. Be sure your chuck has dovetail angled jaws. All the other types of jaws tend to not grip very well. Happy Turning!
