Okay, it is easy to see who is new around here.
Yesterday I was turning some of the very green wood I got from the next door neighbor who had a tree cut down. The log was cut with the chainsaw to fit on my lathe but it is too thick for my band saw to make it round. As I was turning it round (insert head slap here, because I just figured what I did wrong) it came off the Woodworm Screw, stripping out the hole so I cannot remount it.
How much danger will I be in if I mount a ½†lag screw in my chuck and use that as a replacement for the Woodwork screw,(this time bringing up the tailstock to help hold it.)?
I am not so much worried about turning the wood as I am about the wood turning me.
