reverse turning jigs

[john lucas]

I just put together an article for our club website on methods of reverse turning bowls. I thought some of you all might find it interesting. These include some ways to hold odd shaped pieces for turning as well.

Nicely done John! I'll move this to the Tips/Techniques subforum. Since you originally posted it here I'll wait and will move it tomorrow.

I agree with Jeff.

Great job John... great summary of the various methods of holding stuff...

I appreciate the time it took to do this...

Article

John, excellent article and well written with great photos (naturally!). Would you be willing to let us put it in our newsletter for the Adirondack Woodturners? Let me know here or PM me.

Thanks, Don.

Don Sharing is why I do that so feel free to use it. When I first started turning almost all the bowls you saw outside the symposiums had green felt on the bottom or screw holes. You hardly ever see that anymore so the AAW and other groups have educated people to the need for clean bottoms.
I did a demo for the club and realized that except for the longworth chuck I had already made about every method for reverse chucking.

Thanks !

Thanks very much John, thoughtful and generous as always. BTW, your inside-out platter is outstanding!

Take care, Don.

Good job John,
I made a Longworth chuck last week and it really works. I used 6 test tube stoppers (#7) but your 8 is probly better. I used 6 because no math is needed, just keep the compas setting and mark off the six spaces on the circle.
