LONGWORTH CHUCK, Very VERY easy to build, instructional video shows you how.

In this video I explain and show you how to make a LONWORTH CHUCK for turning the bottoms of bowls. Seeing it, is believing how easy it is. Only difficult thing, is to be able to divide by two. even then you could just guess the center of two lines. I didn't make one for years as it looked difficult, actually easier than falling off a log.. Works well, costs very little, adapts quickly to the size of your bowl, can be made to fit any size of lathe. I love it, you will too.

Very helpful tutorial. As a former wood shop teacher, I was impressed by both your content and your presentation skills. You managed to make a potentially intimidating process quite manageable for persons who are geometrically challenged. Excellent pacing. I just made my first Cole chuck. My next task: the Longworth chuck. Thanks for taking the time to share!

Very instructional video. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to us and more importantly, improving on your efforts and showing us an easier way to build it

[@hobonickel840]

This was very inspiring... Do you think this would work for a smaller finger gripping radius by only using three fingers and enlarging the size of the fingers ..ex: instead of 1" diameter rubber stopper you make much larger like 5+ inches so it can reach in further???

Thanks for sharing.. Interesting process.. Hope you and your family are staying safe.. Full View and Like..

Thanks so much for explaining your method for making the Longworth chuck! Im definitely making one now!

[@davemcallister6147]

This is perfect thank you for sharing. I like making tools. I’ve been using a friction chuck with poor results. I can’t wait to dig my router out.

[@thomasbayer264]

very good tutorial ... I'm going to build my own. Thx

[@leksey7870]

Useful thing for turning! Good luck!

[@Kiiyuth]

Appreciate the time and effort that was put into this video. I'll be giving this a shot tomorrow. All the best.

[@bm3823]

Excellent presentation! All I need is the stoppers and I’m all set. Thank you.

[@clintmyrick4128]

Thanks Brian! I appreciate you explaining the simplicity behind this.

Hi Brian. Nice seeing you on You Tube! Good work on the chuck!!.........Cheers, Jim

Thanks for that Brian. I imagined that those bolts sliding in wood slots would have cocked and not slid good. Yours didnt seem to have that problem though. Perhaps the melamine surface helps things slide?

[@brianprocter6191]

Several reasons that I think could help, is that the bolts have no threads in the thickness of the wood, and the materials may be thicker than what you would normally use. Full 3/4 back plate and front one was 1/2. Would have been better if bolts fit more snuggly in the slots. I think sometimes they roll the treads on, then they start with smaller stock since the tread area expands with the forging of the tread.

[@stevioclark]

Love your concise instructions. One question. Are you very tall or are you standing on something beside the lathe? Just curious.

[@brianprocter6191]

When I made the lathe, the headstock material was only so long, logging truck reach, I stand on the base of the lathe, wish it had been a couple inches longer. you can check it out by this link. www.lumberjocks.com/projects/242698

Nice job and well done

[@joeydupre6153]

Great video. I see a possible improvement. Draw several concentric circles on the front to help in centering the bowl.

[@stadleroux]

Haven't actually used one myself, but I think those stoppers are pretty much self centring as you rotate the one disk against the other. 🙂

[@joeydupre6153]

Now that I look closer, you are right. @@stadleroux

Do you have a simple video of how to build model ships and boats?

No have done losts of cars truck and bull dozers.

if I could I would give you a metal for watching it. But you must have found it somewhat interesting to suffer that long. Thanks for the comment.

@@brianprocter6191 I didn't, 10 mins max. Too much eye contact, too slow in organising Yr thoughts before speaking.

Brian represents a stage of life that a lot of us our in today. I appreciate the slow pace so I can take notes and follow along. Nice job Brian!

@@northwoodsman4549 I posted this project on lumberjocks.com and someone commented that it would be better for the arks to go the otherway from his experience. sorta self tightening. I will make one that way too.
