HandyDan Posted November 26, 2019 Report Posted November 26, 2019 When I was turning all those lighthouse ornaments I was using pieces of dowel rods. When I chucked them up sometimes they didn't run true. I remembered a trick and used it to get the blank the straightest and therefore using less material. Here is a clip from a video I ran across that shows how it is done. Gunny and MountainGaurdian 2 Quote

Larry Buskirk Posted November 27, 2019 Report Posted November 27, 2019 I've got kind of an odd ball chuck that was made for round stock. It was only available for a few years. Gunny 1 Quote
