[@MarklTucson]

Great illustration of the chucks and how they make contact at the end. Thanks

[@glencrandall7051]

Good information Mike. 👍👍Thanks.🙂

[@KTankerous]

Thanks Mike, very interesting!

[@JeffOldham-c5e]

mike i only wish i could turn a sphere like you do but im honestly in left field when it comes to using a spindle gouge,,,the more i try lol,,the more catches i get,,i have thought about getting a sphere jig but for what they cost i guess i will only dream about it,,,your a great teacher i only wish i could master the spindle gouge and get some pointers on turning a sphere

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You can do it I am sure but there is no substitute for practice. Watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqinqnSbr9KErM0

@@MikePeaceWoodturning mike i broke down and ordered the sphere jig from chefware,,,the man was very helpful,,i believe his name was craig,,,really nice guy,,,i try to watch most of your videos,,but i have never seen you say anything about a steady rest,,,do you have one and can you reccomend one,,,

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

@@JeffOldham-c5e Yes, I have worked with Craig since back in 2012. He is a good guy. I have a DIY spindle steady rest I rarely use. You can see it in this tips video kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ7VqmyPitujorc

Another informative Mike Peace video! Thank you for sharing!

[@jessetutterrow4320]

I never used a cup chuck. Thanks for the information. You mentioned that too small of a chuck diameter has problems, is there a general rule of thumb relating the sphere diameter to the diameter of the hole in the chuck?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

No rule of thumb I know. Too small does not hold. Too large and you can't cut as much surface and need to reposition more.

[@oatkeroder]

You all of a sudden taught me something else Didn't understand how to use dividers to estimate an inside diameter. Just listening closely you explained it to me. Thanks again. You keep teaching, I'll keep learning.

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Thanks for that feedback.

[@rayswann9080]

Thanks for that one Mike. Watched it a couple of times to make sure the detail sunk into the grey matter. Am making a sherical resin night light for my grandaughter and the mould leaves a ring around the circumpherence so I was looking for a way to spin it for polishing this off and along come your timely vid. Cheers

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Cool!

[@davidmorgan7522]

Great idea Mike! Simple but very effective. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Dave

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

You bet!

[@hfbowerndesigns810]

Thanks for sharing Mike. Good set of holders, now I just must try make a sphere😀 Take care my friend Cheers Harold

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

Easy peasy. No jig or math required.

[@dionlee3920]

miike have you found the bored out fitted tail centter versus a threaded tail center version performs better?

[@MikePeaceWoodturning]

They both work

Thank you, this is exactly what i need! :)
