Spindle turning with an Easy Wood Tools Chuck

Yep!

 

One thing I would do is make an indicator mark on the wood to match one of the jaws (ie #1). That way if you need to remove the piece and put it back in , it will have the same orientation in respect to the chuck

    Do that all the time as long as it is square.

    I do it all the time. I mark center on one end for your tailstock. Clamp it up and turn. You can, and sometimes I do, cut a tenon and flip it end for end.

    I don't recommend you do that John. hammers aren't that expensive and you will probably ruin the chuck if you use it to pound in screws
