Welcome to my channel, I have a new project video every Friday with wood turning tips and projects. Taking you from start to finish with a ruff piece of wood to your sanded and finished project.

Since I was the one to ask about the collet chuck, I am in your debt. I have tons of wood and tools that I need to sharpen (bench grinder is next). Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!

[@TheBergy32]

I started using hot glue thanks to you and it is the best, especially because i don't have a chuck.

[@seniorchiefharris]

Thanks Carl for all your turning videos!!! I've been looking for different ways to hold small projects on the lathe and your info on glue blocks and pin chucks were very helpful... I'm going to make a variety of pin chucks now and will look into a good, heavy glue gun also. Thanks again for all you do to assist us newbies and make turning easier and safer!

Carl, I am glad you did one on the pin chuck, but am a bit confused still as to exactly how it works. How does that little pin hold the wood onto the bar?

[@MrHaroldOwen]

The smaller guns you mentioned are usually "Warm melt" glue guns which has to be softer to melt. I was able to score a Hot melt gun from Hobby Lobby for about $7 with coupon and get the sticks at Wally World.

Hi Rich, Yes I just part it off with a parting tool

[@jamesfoster6649]

Love your videos, I've learned a lot. I did want to throw out a suggestion for anyone making a pin chuck. You could have the rod center drilled so it could be supported by a standard 60° live center.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+James Foster Thank you James!

[@mick.Walker]

Good information thanks, google brings up a whole new set of results when you search for pen chicks lol

I've used the smaller glue gun with no issues. The only issue I had was parting off the work piece the 1st time. The frugal side came out and I was trying to part off right on the glue joint not thinking. Thankfully I had my faceshield on, it protected my ugly mug from getting hot glue thrown at it. One of these days I'll get out some high grit sandpaper and clean up my parting tool.

You could always use the tailstock to press the waste block against the closed jaws of your chuck long enough to cut a tenon on one face. By the way, glue gun looks just like mine - that I bought at Sears 30+ years ago. Don't remember what it cost, but it wasn't very expensive.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Ron, Yes that's a problem but I don't have a way to make a tenon on them with out a lot of work.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you,

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Yes I've used it with a face plate as well.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Greg, Yes as it rolls it locks the wood place.

[@ConfusionWood]

nice supply.. :D nice video!

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Yes I'll do a video on that soon.

[@roberthelveston2823]

Was searching your web site and I discovered my own question. Reference to your use of Paste Wax while sanding .. Thanks Bob

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi James, This weeks video is on sanding but very soon.

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

I've only used this gun. I think if you can get a big gun it would be best.

[@enyafanjt]

Sorry Carl, I meant that I NEED a grinder,lol. I have been using the carbide tipped tools since I can't grind my bowl gouges. Didn't know they came unsharpened. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

[@mpk1234567890]

Thanks

[@allaboutgreencalls]

Hey Carl plz tell me how u put on the pin chuck i have a old craftsmen turner and I don't know how to get the other part off

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Thank you, just let me know if I can help. Take care, Carl

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

Hi Jack, Was it glued on? Did the glue fail?

[@willmcdougal7620]

is there any way you could just buy something like this at lowes or homedepot or make it from things in my house because i dont even have any other power tools. thanks will

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

I've turned on the lathe to soon aswell and had the hot glue flying around.

[@jack39170]

i was turning a bit of oak into a bowl and the tool cought the work piece and it ripped apart the waist block and the bowl broke jack

[@ballsackTbager]

Can you show plz how to sharpen the tools

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

LOL!! I fixed it,

[@mpk1234567890]

Hi Carl, excellent channel. Don't suppose you have a link to we're you bought your collet

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

It should have a hole in the head stock. It's called a Morse taper.

[@jack39170]

it was hot glued on and it was the waist block some how

[@casscagle6873]

Will this work for real green wood also?

[@CarlJacobsonthewoodshop]

+Cass Cagle You shouldn't use green wood to make a duck call. it will warp :)

[@casscagle6873]

+Carl Jacobson. Im sorry lol. I was talking about the glue block at the beginning of the video. like like for turning bowls. Will hot glue work for holding green wood to the glue block?
