I finally turned my first mushroom and it came out prett good. I'm just waiting on the paste wax to get here. The chuck i bought is a Barr Acuda by PSI. The problem i have with it is that it only grips 3/16" of the wood you put into it. Well the wood likes to fly with the chuck only gripping 3/16" even with the tail stock live center at the other end. It looks like this lathe i bought needs a total rebuild. I think i should just buy a newer one. Any recommendations on a newer Lathe?

Hi Leonard,

My Chuck grabs onto about 1/2 inch and hold pretty well most of the time. On the lathe I have good things about Grizzly and they are not to expensive.

Thanks,

Carl

Nice little project for me to try.... Could you go over how to turn the pieces around and jam it on the tenon, mine always seem to fall off , I'm sure i'm doing something wrong.. Thanks

[elmo2000ad]

why do you need a vac chuck use a jam chuck

[haydenHD]

Hi Ian,

Will that work better i've never made a apple before.

[Cstremke9090]

I was wondering if you could make a box in the shape of an apple. Ive sen some but not many and would love to see how you'd do it.

Thank you

[haydenHD]

I'm looking in to it. I'm not sure I don't have a vac chuck to finish both ends.
