  • hello shazam! it's not a jaw chuck, it's a "gobelet" chuck, which fits M33-3,5

    it's in fact a cylinder here a 40mm diameter , in which you insert the wood,

    it holds very firmly

    a little more time consuming than a jaw chuck , but very securit

    ciao

  • this is not a string , it is a piece of wire of small diameter

    you can use a copper or brass or iron thread to burn the wood

    depending on the thickness of the mark you want

    it's better to cut a groove first ...

  • @b21tracer how can he hold the piece of tree when its spinning without hurting himself?

  • @lordem4

    when the piece of wood is already round and the speed of the lathe not too fast , under 2000rpm

    it doesn't hurt at all ,! it's a way to "feel" the finish... all wood turners do that :--))

    what is unusual is the one-hand manipulation of the spindle gouge

  • wood turning is SICK!!!

  • That is overly unsafe for your hand to be sitting on the piece & thumb resting on tool rest. Anyone watching this that is new to wood turning, PLEASE do NOT do that, Veterans become over-comfortable with their machines; But NO ONE should EVER do what he is doing there. A smaller wood lathe is mostly capable of taking fingers & in some serious cases, Hands. Just remember, SAFETY

  • @b21tracer thanks i like it

  • what kind of a lathe chuck is Phillipe using?

  • best woodturning video on youtube

  • what is that string that burns the wood called?
