Learned from this. I've done something similar, but for the details: that shoulder for registration and re-use, that non-skid fabric. Still love the vacuum chuck, but they don't fit everything. Another awesome video!

One of the smartest additions to my shop recently, thanks to Richard, was to build a small tray in front of and on the right side of my lathe bed. As I’m working on a project, I can put the tools I’m using on this tray and don’t have to put each tool back on the rack on the wall. When I need a tool that I’ve put on the tray, it’s close at hand. This is similar to what I can see Richard has, and it saves a whole lot of time. Thank you, Richard! Ned

Not only a useful device, but also skew practise, hehe, thanks for sharing Richard, I need to make these so I can finish off a heap of natural edge Tas Blackwood bowls I've had drying for a while.

Simple and elegant solution to a problem. And something I don't think I would have thought of. Thank you for the inspiration.

Very useful looking jig for the lathe. Also looks like a nice project for skew practice; one can be more adventurous without risking a project to which one has become emotionally attached.

Thanks for the inspiration Richard, I have been practicing the skew over the weekend and have started to feel much more comfortable with it.

Nice piece of work Richard. Great explanation of how and why. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Boy, do I need to practice with my skew!

great lesson!

Bonjour Richard. Un grand merci pour cette vidéo ,cela vient à mon aide pour mon apprentissage du tournage avec les techniques qui vont avec .Super.👍

Great video Richard.

Great advice and demo, thank you.

Great video. As usual, it ends abruptly. I understand that you may not want to ask for a like, but if you give us a few seconds looking at the project at the end, it would be easier to give them the like that it deserves.

The project here is the extension and I didn't think to reference the clip used to show it in action from kzread.info/dash/bejne/dniF2a5mpdDdfJM.html I'll put a note in the intro notes. Thank you.

Cool idea, Thanks!

Nice little bit of advice, 2.10 when you were pushing too hard on the skew you got that noise, i had the same thing happen yesterday and now i know why

Thanks Richard

What do you use to stick the job slip material on with? You have mentioned in other videos you don't often use glue. But seems like this is a good use case but I don't know what would adhere to the non stick material?

Love your videos Richard. Would you be able to go over the type of chuck jaws you have? And how you use them.

I did a video on the chucks I have and use: kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3-AzNauZtGYn5s.html. You see how I use them in the videos and in kzread.info/dash/bejne/dopmtpioesqpmZc.html.

Thank you I will take a look at them

When do you use a jam chuck like this on the inside and when do you use a jam chuck on the rim of the bowl? Obviously, an inside jam chuck is for hollow forms, natural edge and other irregular rimmed bowls.

Which method of rechucking I use depends on the shape and fragility of the piece. Very thin enclosed forms can be jammed into a chuck, although this approach is generally easier and good for most projects if you get the centre of the base finished at the outset.

Why the tiny bowls?

This bowl isn't tiny compared to the many hundreds of 2" diameter salt bowls I used to sell each year: so cash-flow is one reason. Working small scale is more of a challenge if you're looking for a challenge, requiring more precision and finesse.

@@RichardRaffanwoodturningAh ha! I knew there was a reason. Thanks for the reply. You have been a bit of a mentor to me throughout my turning "upbringing". I feel privileged to have received a response! I used to live in NSW and now back in the north east US. Your videos and insight are very helpful. Thanks for posting.
