Donut Chuck

Meet my new best friend:

What a vast improvement over this rather dodgy exercise for finishing the bottom of bowls:

Add this to the, "Why didn't I do this forever ago" list!

Mine was based off this one http://www.nealaddy.org/node/8
I just added more padding (drawer liner)

Check out Keith Larrett's site, here is a link directly to his version of a Doughnut chuck, and they are an invaluable accessory for doing bowls. Projects | Make a Donut Chuck |
Keith is one heck of a turner, I wish he'd pop in a bit more now days, some of his pens are near legendary. .

Thanks for the link!

His jig is much prettier than mine and I really like the idea of the threaded inserts over the wing nuts. The only thing I don't like is lack of padding on the rim side and the number of bolts. (4 is figity enough) I think my next one will definitely incorporate the threaded inserts!
