you are lucky to still be alive. Watch a video on how to use a lathe. I found myself leaning back in my chair for my protection waiting for something to go wrong.

[@TwoKeysStudio]

I have since changed my ways.

[@Leartech81]

Keeping both hands at the end of the tool gives you no leverage or control- that's why your tool is jumping off the stock. I always keep a hand forward pushing down on the tool against the rest for stability.

[@jamespolucha6911]

Man slow down and enjoy what your doing and be careful get your hand on the tool rest

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Good advice about this and life in general.

[@hauikanamu9641]

Shouldnt you have one hand on the tool rest? Or close to it?

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Yes, thank you for pointing that out. I am a complete newbie to lathes.

[@rickmeadows686]

He should

[@OdieO1love]

I think the jaw chuck is to secure the opening of a cup while you finish the base

[@rickmeadows686]

You’re holding the gouge wrong! 🙄

[@TwoKeysStudio]

Several have busted me for that.

[@robira1313]

@@TwoKeysStudio He's right...you need to hold that gouge closer to the blade.

[@bearboosayt7727]

What is the chuck you are using??

[@tupachangacuba]

Hi man, great video. I wanted to ask you, what is the chuck size for these models of lathes? I have the WL330 model that would be the brother of this one that you have

[@TwoKeysStudio]

It is a 1” x 8 TPI thread. There is a link in the description to the one I purchased. The tail stock takes the smaller mt1 drill chuck. Thanks for the positive comments and thank you for watching.

[@tupachangacuba]

@@TwoKeysStudio Thank you very much

[@bobbyscousin8184]

Can you put a drill bit in one end?

[@TwoKeysStudio]

You will need a drill chuck in the tail stock for that.

[@justinnawrocki6875]

What size chuck?

[@TwoKeysStudio]
