Wood Turning - No Chuck .... No Problem! #1 A Goblet

[@adamwhiteson6866]

Great demo but how do you separate the work from the block when done?

[@MikeWaldt]

You can part off with a parting tool, or saw it off Adam.

[@cunningstunts3329]

Excellent video Mike. What a great idea to demonstrate what can be achieved without a chuck. It dispels the idea that a glue block is not as strong as a chuck. I find that, at times, hot glue is the only way of achieving getting your work secured in the lathe. Gets me out of a lot of self dug potholes!

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Graham, glad to hear that you agree with my sentiments regarding hot glue. It's a very versatile holding method. Take care Mike

[@Macro-photographer]

First time on your channel Mike, instant subscribe. The tennis ball tip is awesome! Thank you for all the effort that goes into producing these. Regards Graham.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Graham much appreciated mate.

[@alecsnyder7]

Mike thank you! I have been turning for only 3 weeks now and I have Benin watching many many different turners. I was hoping to find a series like this one. I will be getting a chuck someday, but I am not going to get one this year. I cannot wait to see the next video in this series. Very excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you will find some use in this series Alec, thanks for stopping by my friend. Take care Mike

Thank you John, also thank you for watching. Take care Mike

[@hikeaphoto746]

I do enjoy listen to you. I like your wall design is real good. I have been doing work on my new lathe area. I think how you are placing the chisels will work well. Every time I listen from others, I just kept buying. I like a single chuck for each item, that way I don’t have to remove screws and retightening and yes tight screws. I am using more of the carbide chisels. Thanks!

[@MikeWaldt]

Thank you, I appreciate your kind words. Think about the Easy Chuck, as jaw changing is a breeze :) Cheers Mike

[@AlFurtado]

Great job my friend and I am sure it will become a great and very useful series. I know when I started turning I started without a chuck but I don't think I could ever be without it. I will watch this series with much anticipation. and I know how great this is to so many wood turners that are just starting out as well as some seasoned that have forgotten the basics like me.Thank you

[@MikeWaldt]

+Rebel Art Woodturning Thank you Al, much appreciated my friend Cheers Mike

[@DiscussThing]

I loved this tutorial and will try it as soon as my lathe arrives, as it will be without a chuck initially. I have a question. Would getting a longer piece of wood, mounting it to a faceplate in a standard way and simply finishing the goblet and cutting it close to the base work as well?

[@MikeWaldt]

It would but I'm not a great fan of using a faceplate in smaller end grain work, as the grip is no nowhere near as strong.

[@DiscussThing]

@@MikeWaldt I see. Many thanks for your reply.

It was many years after I purchased my first lathe before I learned about chucks. I think any one buying a lathe should also budget for a good chuck. I will never go back to being chuck less. That said, going chuck less is a useful exercise for when we do encounter a situation where chuck less is better. I also love threaded faceplates. Thank you Mike.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi Alan, I'm with you regarding chucks, but the alternatives, although more time consuming, do work, as well as for many more applications, as I know you are well aware of. Threaded faceplates are brilliant, I agree, it was your videos on the subject that sold it for me :) Cheers Mike

[@SeeWhyMan]

I love the tennis ball idea! Thanks for sharing your tricks!

[@MikeWaldt]

Glad you enjoyed the video Curtis Cheers Mike

[@TheRealCAPerry]

Can definitely confirm that hot glue is strong. I was trying to detach a bowl from a glue block yesterday and managed to shatter the dovetail recess I’d just cut before the hot glue gave way. Maybe I should have done that before I put it on the chuck. Let’s call that a learning experience. When I finally did get the block off it took some of the workpiece with it - hot glue is strong!

[@MikeWaldt]

Glad you agree 👍

[@alansimpson596]

Thank you, Mike, for a great upload. Having been turning for about eight years I've spent these past few days making myself a proper tool cabinet in the style of Thomas Chippendale. We shouldn't rush into these things. Hope to see you in May. Best wishes, Alan.

[@peterburley2086]

Very good Mike, thanks. Something I picked up a long while ago was to make a threaded glue block by setting the appropriate nut in the back using epoxy. Nuts are very cheap as against a decent Tap.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Peter, your method is also a very useful and effective way to go. Thanks for the tip Cheers Mike

[@stephenmcfadyen1385]

Mike, Wow!! that takes me back to before I invested in a chuck, I used wood glue to attach the work and like you I invested in a commercial quality glue gun and now don't use anything else. I have not attempted to hold a bowl blank so I will be very interested in your next video that shows that. Well Done !! Regards Stephen

[@MikeWaldt]

Lol....glad that you concur with my faith in hot glue Stephen. I have full confidence that the bowl will be safe too, I'm planning on a 10" diameter 3" thick blank for the video. Thanks for commenting, as usual my friend. Cheers Mike

[@stevearnold3175]

Hi Mike, Yet another wonderful demonstration! I'm confused about one aspect of it though. I don't understand how you know exactly where to place the left side of the caliper on the waste block so that it matches the width of the spindle you're gluing into it. I think if I were to try it, it would either be too far to the left or too far to the right on the waste block and not give me the proper size hole I needed for my spindle.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Steve, you just make faint marks to begin with until the right leg lines up with the mark made with the left leg, a tiny bit more pressure to make a slightly deeper mark, then highlight with a pencil, so you can easily see where to work to. Hope this explains it adequately :) Take care Mike

[@stevearnold3175]

Thank you Mike, I can visualize how it's done now and I feel confident that I'll be able to do it too. 👍

Hi Mike. Is there a minimum diameter for a given length of stock? I work with small pieces of wood ..square stock that is 1 & 1/2 inch and 6 or 7 inches long. I'm wondering if there would be enough surface area for glueing to the face plate. I'll just make sure I'm wearing a good face shield and give it a try.

[@MikeWaldt]

I see no reason why not, but always use light cuts is my advice.

[@robertsrnec1852]

Hi Mike great video. I can't agree with you more on hot glue. I have had a peace of wood rip apart and the glue joint was perfect and I only did the outer edge. Thank you for the video. Bob

Thanks Robert, glad to hear that you agree with my thoughts regarding hot glue, Take care Mike

[@Diozark]

Hi Mike, Have you ever tried making a wood chuck with a sliding tapered dovetail ? then you could easily remove the work piece and re-use the wood chuck multiple times. I have a small lathe, and I am very limited to what I can do with it, I may try to make this and see what happens.

Hi Mike, I was given an old lathe and did not know any details about it, but I did want to make some face plates, so I took the one face plate that came with the lathe and went to my local nut & bolt place. they checked the tread size and I bought some nuts of the same size. when I got home I cut up some 2 x 4 and drilled a small hole in them epoxied the nuts into each, mounted them on the lathe and squired them off. I now have lots of face plates to glue my turnings to.

I'd never used hot glue until today, I normally just mount tricker things and some ring shaped frames I make using carpet tape which has worked pretty well for me. I tried hot glue today though and it's brilliant, I can definitely see myself using it more often now. I'm not sure how much I'd trust heavier items with the carpet tape. Only slight downside is removing the glue afterwards, found a 1" chisel and being very careful peels it off nicely though.

[@phillean]

A great video, like all of your others. My 18mm spindle came with I one drive center/ spindle point and one faceplate. I will probably buy a chuck with an insert later but if I could find an 18mm to 1 inch or 30 mm adapter that would give more a lot more options, i.e. old faceplates in 1inch are easy to find. Meanwhile I am learning how to produce things using the drive center and the faceplate and tailstock. Your tip about the Bosch hot glue gun was very useful, I have a couple of craft hot glue guns but was not very impressed with them and was not prepared to trust them for bonding wood in a lathe. I bought the Bosch hot glue gun today and tested it on some cardboard, the difference between it and the craft guns is huge. The craft guns still have their use for paper and fabric and are less dangerous to have on work table, nowhere near as hot to touch by mistake. I almost bought some genuine and expensive Bosch hot melt sticks but the packet indicated that they are not suited for long term holding in temperatures above 25c. I live in Canberra, Australia, long cold Winters but Summer can be hot and most days for 5 months are above 25c, occasionally as high as 40c, I won't be in the garage when it is that hot, but I wonder if the hot melt glued wood will have fallen apart above 30c and PVA glue might be a better choice despite the 24 hour drying time in high temperatures.

[@MikeWaldt]

Thanks Philip. I have to say that I am not subjected to extreme temperatures like you, but I could well believe that 40°C might be a problem regarding the glues long term integrity, however I have used it in 30° conditions with no problem. Thanks for watching and commenting. Take care Mike

Can anyone help please. I got some eucalyptus and some plum freshly cut and I dont know what I can use to prevent them from cracking. I watched some videos on it but a product like pentacryl is not available here in the uk and its not shipped to here. What products are available here in the uk or what would you suggest? I live in London by the way.

[@MikeWaldt]

Hi, I use plain ol' PVA glue, you can buy it relatively inexpensively from Wicks in 5 Litre containers. I typically paint onto end grain, allow to dry, then apply another coat. It has worked well for me for a few years. Be aware that if wood is going to crack, it will, whatever you do to it. The idea of coating the end grain is to slow down the drying process, hence reduce the severity of cracking. Cheers Mike

[@1Igster1]

You can also melt some wax and paint the ends with the melted wax. Here across the pond (USA) most folks like to use something called AnchorSeal; in a pinch, latex paint will also work.

[@togce]
