I have a Delta LA200 lathe and I've been turning pens for several months now. And I'm thinking it's time to try something new. I bought a book called "Turning Boxes with Friction-Fitted Lids" by Bill Bowers and I'd like to give this a try. In the first chapter for a project he highly recommends for beginners, he references something that's (surprise!) new to me, O'Donnell jaws. I sent my research assistant, Dr. Google, out to get me a report on just what O'Donnell jaws are, and the results were (another surprise!) fairly ambiguous. I have a Nova G3 chuck, but Teknatool doesn't mention O'Donnell jaws on their site. I don't have a huge toy budget and I don't want to buy a new chuck if I don't have to. Could some kind soul help me understand just what O'Donnell jaws are and if there are any jaws for the Nova G3 which would suit the purpose? Thanks...
