Screw chuck from faceplate.

As promised , here is how I go about making homemade screw chuck from faceplate that came with the lathe....
Excellent way to hold bowl blanks and other cross grain stuff....
Enjoy

Thank you very much for watching 🤗

You are always worth watching! Nice to see you using Square Drive screws, they're a Canadian invention you know.

[@joepapalia-xs1ds]

What a great idea!. You are outstanding, my friend. I learn something new from every one of your videos. Thank you so much.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Honored to help out buddy, thank you for watching

[@ShevillMathers]

I can see more wood turners using this sort of screw chuck, maybe three different sizes depending on the size of projects. Between you and Richard, and the ‘Fab 4, fills up my wood turning video requirements, knowing I am getting the correct information from professional turners. I watched a video by a self proclaimed ‘expert’ turner on turning a small bowl. It was hard end grain, badly struggled by using the wrong gouges and it was really a video on how not to turn a bowl. A beginner watching said video would be endangering himself by what was not explained, and likely put off wood turning. So pleased we have you fellows. Greetings from Tasmania Australia.👍😁🇦🇺🦘

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Sir very much for kind words and support 🤗.

[@claudettewoolley]

Great to see another Taswegian on here😊

[@ShevillMathers]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning -The wood backing plate adds a great deal of support and gripping force for the work piece.

@@ShevillMathers Hi, I am down the Huon Valley, and only had a lathe for about 3 months, but loving it. So good to have quality video to watch and learn from.

[@jameswhattam3945]

Great video. And I'm impressed that you know the word "smidge."😂

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

😂😂 I guess all those american movies without subtitles when growning up are paying off😉

[@jameswhattam3945]

Next time you want to describe something that is off a little bit, use the word "skosh" (long "o" sound - also spelled as "scosche") and you will really blow them away with your knowledge of American slang.😂😂

Thanks a lot Tomislav! My screw which has come with the chuck has been broken (Chinese quality) So this information is very helpful for me.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to hear that sir

[@25is27]

Thanks Tomislav. I have just bought a new Charnwood midi lathe and will now use the supplied Face-plate to make a Screw-chuck just as you showed. Like you, I have no use for it that the Screw-chuck couldn't achieve. Excellent video

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you, glad to be of help

[@MarklTucson]

Thanks for posting this. That makes total sense the way you put this together and made a quick project of it.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

No problem, glad to help out ☺️

[@richardwhisler5593]

Thanks again for your information! Thanks to you and Richard R. I'm using more screw chucks than faceplates now.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Awsome, thank you for supporting our work😀

[@johnnyb95678]

Excellent details on creating your own screw chuck. Thank you!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad to be of service 🤗

[@jackthompson5092]

Great idea for a simple wood screw for mounting blanks Tomislav.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

My favorite way🤗

[@jayscott306]

I just picked up a few face plates for screw chuck and a sanding disk. Worth the few dollars to save a lot of time.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

That is great, indeed they are great in that way☺️

[@9thousandfeet]

I made up a couple of quite small screw chucks for initially holding small offcut blanks to make little salt bowls and small boxes and the like. One is made from a small piece of stable hardwood turned so it fits precisely in a set of dovetail jaws and the other from a similar piece which I threaded to fit directly onto the spindle with a 11/4 x 8 tap. For small work they both work great for the initial hold without having to procure a faceplate. The climate here in the high desert USA doesn't have wild swings in relative humidity, so there's almost zero movement in wood once it's thoroughly dry, so both have remained running true for years now.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Many uses for homemade screw chucks and they can last a long time.... Thank you for your input😀

[@Amybaumgart]

Thanks! Great video, great explanation!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Glad you find it helpfull 😉

[@PhilStevensphilongold]

Great tip Tomislav - thank you. How is the workshop move going! Phil

[@0BAMiiN]

Hi Tomislav, thanks for the video 🤗 We're doing it the same way, but my screw is running worse than yours, it's more out of whack 😅 Seems like you have a better hand to screw it in in 90 degrees 😅 Good thing it doesn't matter that much. Greetings 🤗

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Important is that it works....😉 Thanks for watching

[@timofeyzhukov-khovanskiy9173]

I totally should do this, I never use faceplate, even on largest bowls a midi lathe can handle

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Its a great way to hold a cross grain work

[@richardmccann4815]

I have a welder, and my lathe has a 1"-13 spindle. I can buy hex nuts for cheap, and weld bars on three faces to make star-chucks ( my new word!) I will let you know if it works!

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

In the old days they would make lathe accesories like that as a thread size was common like bolts .... If you have the time and acces to those bolts that fit your lathe size thread go for it 😀

[@KoHcTaHTuHAkuMoB]

👍👍👍

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

👍

[@stefkospancic4342]

what screws do you use to fasten the wood I mean thickness and length. 

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

I go for lenght for screw to be 5mm below face , and thickness 4-5mm is more then enough

[@Pabloos8634]

Bonsoir Tomy, j’ai exécuté le même support Avis que vous Mais j’ai le boulon central qui se devisse toujours auriez vous une astuce pour bloquer ce boulon ? Merci 🙌

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Try using epoxy or you can cut a slot on head of the screw and bend a nail fromone side to other.

[@Pabloos8634]

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning merci beaucoup fallait y penser 👍👍

[@pjseiber2774]

Was that a lag screw that you used? If so what diameter?

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

It was, It was 6mm by 50mm long

[@randycosgrove3608]

I've been using a wormwood screw with my chuck but it looks like a screw chuck is coming soon. Thanks for all your great videos. Between you and Richard I've gotten more good information in the last year than in the previous 10. On a side note I've been using a 1" round nose scraper as a shear scraper when needed. I saw your build video when you made the one you faced this blank with. What is the functional difference between using the shear scraper that you use and the round nose scraper that I've been using as a shear scraper? Thanks for any info you can provide.

[@tomislavtomasicwoodturning]

Thank you Randy for kind words 🤗 I'll do a video soon on how I go about shaping and profile scrapers and why, but round nose is usually beacuse of the shape best for endgrain hollowing or bottom of small bowls.... Shear scraper has a right corner which you can use for scraping corners and the round over edges allow for easirs slide , and the profile of it allowes for easier shear scraping..... Hope that helpes, but I'll try to explain more in the video 😉
