4 BEST ways Professional Woodturners use to MOUNT bowls to the lathe. Wish I knew before I started

I want to show you four different methods of remounting your bowl blanks onto the lathe: the woodscrew, the Glenn Lucas method, the Chuck tailstock method, and the Richard Raffan method. I want to be straightforward about what I know and don't know. It's crucial to learn woodturning correctly. In my tools and gear section, you'll find links I use regularly to improve my craft, and I hope they'll be helpful to you, too. You will also find trusted channels I watch for tutorials and expanding my knowledge.

    Thanks so much for this video. In the last method, using Mr. Raffan’s skew created shelf on the inside of the bowl to lean the chuck on, once you turn off the spigot on the bottom how do you remove the inside shoulder ? I am a rookie and this maybe a dumb question.

    There is no such thing as a silly question. * Place the old out of shape tenon into the chuck as I demonstrated in the video. * Form the shoulder/shelf/step that you mentioned on the inside of the bowl, use your bowl gouge, skew, or just your square-end scraper. * Take the bowl off the chuck, then reposition the bowl to face the chuck. Secure the chuck jaws by expanding them into the newly formed shelf/step/ shoulder you just created. Reshape the tenon to ensure it spins true while shaping the outside of the bowl. Shape the outside until smooth and ready for sanding (but hold off on sanding). * Now rotate the bowl again, putting the newly formed tenon back into the chuck. Finish turning the piece entirely on the inside. * Now setup up for sanding. Sand and apply your finish. In this video, wet sanding with Danish oil is shown to achieve a clean, even finish: kzread.info/dash/bejne/fGyhrbpqgaremtI.html * After completing the sanding and applying a finish both inside and outside, it's time to remove the tenon. This video offers a simple method for doing that👌 kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYOXqNeNh66_iNY.html Just remember,The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked. I hope this is helpful mate Cheers, Kezza

    An even faster method is rough turn bowls with a slightly longer tenon..then when dry use a Forstner bit ( I use 60mm or 100mm depending on bowl size) and make a hole in the center point you left on tenons. Mount on chuck and finish turning your bowl.. you can then turn inside and outside from that mounting position. Takes practice to turn the outside “backwards “ but bowls will be %100 true inside and out…then just normal tenon removal.

    Loved when you opened the chuck too wide and the jaw fell out! Hubby and I are absolute beginners and have done exactly that , and had to fiddle around to get it back in properly. We bought a vintage lathe along with a bunch of accessories, but are lacking a chuck screw, or face plate, and I am trying to figure out exactly what to order to get going . I ordered a face plate, but it appears to not be machined properly, and won’t screw on. The lathe came with two 4 jaw chucks, but it seems we need something more in order to secure a piece to cut a tenon. It is rather confusing. Anyway, fun and informative video.

    @@KerryCorney thank you for your reply and suggestions. It is an Atlas, one that was originally used by (I think) McDonald Douglas to make mock ups of parts. My husband would remember better, I think. This is funny/not funny, I ordered another face plate but it was marked delivered to my mailbox and was not in there! It is a locking mailbox, so I will wait till tomorrow and see if my mail carrier made a mistake. Hubby managed to get a tenon onto a piece of cherry, a log about 5” in diameter, so we are making progress. If you made a video that addresses options to secure the piece while cutting a tenon, alternate ways to create a tenon, or any way to get a larger piece than a 2x2 on the lathe if you don’t have a face plate would be helpful. Also I have several pieces of very spalted wood, discussion on whether stabilization with something like Cactus Jiuce is advised, how to proceed would be helpful. Thanks again.

    I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it, but at 1:11, getting those four jaws to tighten equally around the screw can be a challenge. Depending on your chuck, it seems that attaching those jaws can require some pretty specific technique. I made the mistake of assuming "Nova" chucks would be excellent. Well they mostly are but then I started having problems with finish, tool marks, vibration, tearing. Someone please do a video about how to properly get those jaws lined up on the chuck.

    I’m sorry to hear that you’re encountering these issues. Personally, I haven’t faced any problems with aligning the jaws after switching them to different sizes; or when cleaning the chucks. I use Vicmarc chucks and jaws exclusively. If you’re considering upgrading to Vicmarc, you can find thread adapters to fit your spindle. I will for add your idea and any others to my list of to-do videos, Walter. Please let me know any future ideas you come up with and or need a hand with🙏🤝 Cheers, Walter. Kezza

    Found you based on Tomislav's recommendation, and after watching your first video, subscribed. One thing I wondered; you did not mention using a Longworth chuck or jumbo bowl jaws. Was this because you do not prefer those, or you wanted to show remounting without specialist (expensive) equipment, or because you think those should be used only after rounding the warped blank first? I have adjustable jumbo jaws, would it be safe for remounting or finishing only? Thanks in advance and greetings from Finland!

    @@KerryCorney I agree. I was also told the jumbo jaws are intended for finalizing touches, not heavy work, when I bought mine. So that would be removing the tenon, sanding, decorating, polishing. Probably best to use common sense, an heavy bowl blank flying off the lathe is not a great idea. Perhaps a follow-up video - how NOT to make a tenon on a warped bowl blank. Jumbo jaws are made of aluminum, which also plays a role, although sturdy, but it is a softer metal. I bought them for other projects, not bowls. I envy those coring systems... I only have one horsepower so holding my horses and not buying one. Yet.

    @@KerryCorney Well, a vacuum chuck is on my shopping list and also far more useful for me than investing on coring systems. Also I have a toaster oven on my list and a vacuum chamber for stabilizing wood, so that investment is quite a bit but the combo makes sense altogether. I would be very interested on videos about how you use the vacuum chuck. Demonstrations and reviews on that subject are hard to find. Also what to look for when buying one. And there seems to be a wide range of pressure, as resin casting requires less vacuum than wood stabilization and a less robust chamber. What to look for when buying. How much vac is needed for the chuck, does it depend on circumstances, lathe, type of project, etc. The stockist provides help if you inquire, but nevertheless that subject is not widely discussed.
