Well, it took two days, but I finally managed to get the chuck off. Thanks for all your help guys! I went ahead and picked up an oil filter wrench, and a can of WD 40. After litterally doing EVERYTHING to get this thing off short of beating it to death, heat, tapping, pulling, yanking, and everything in between
, I gave in and took it to the local woodcraft shop, where they then replicated my attempts, and finally hooked it onto the fork lift where it FINALLY came off. Anyway, once it was off I rushed home to make another pen! :biggrin:
