Thx for all the hints everybody. I think it is spinning a little better. I own only one chuck so I have to switch between the #2 jaws and the jumbos and it must not always tighten on correctly!
"O.D."????
Man, I haven't posted in a while... been soooo busy. Anyway, I've been doing a bit of turning lately and I've been noticing that my talon chuck has a bit of wobble. It isn't horrible, but it is...

Haven't been posting much lately because I've been so busy... but still been looking at this site everyday! Anyway, that is a really beautiful piece of wood. The rich red color is really pretty and...
Hey Joe....
Thanks for the info... I'm going to have to try that next spring and see how that works!
Anyway, thanks so much for the advice everybody... it is really helpful! I have clipped back my strawberry vines and will probably cover them with some sort of mulch before winter.
That is a pretty cool strawberry plant, but how do you grow them in a pvc pipe like that?? .... it is hard to tell from the picture.
Well, I have all these strawberry plants that I planted earlier in the spring and they're all in pots on the porch. Anyway, they have all these vines growing out of them in all different directions...
That is pretty clever, but it is also kinda freaky to think of the different ways someone could use a gps system for making mischief :eek:
I did the same thing some months ago... kinda irritating!!! http://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=41331
Some people I know do it without v-blocks, but it isn't very smart! I mean, why gamble...
One thing that I can think of off the top of my head is if you make the tennon so long that it bottoms out on the chuck, that can often cause wobble. Also make sure that their is a good square...
It's cool that you are thinking through this situation like that... a lot of people wouldn't give it a second thought!
My simple answer is that I personally am siding with your natural instinct. ...
BTW... if you don't understand my instructions or need more help, feel free to e-mail me. I am not an expert, but I have caught them before and I learned my method from a pro!
Ok... here is the way to do it, if you want use a trap. First of all, the trap you need looks like this http://www.ca.uky.edu/agc/pubs/for/for42/f02b.jpg

1/2" skew... love the curlies it can make!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! Way to go! Looking forward to pix!
Great to get to know ya better... I can't believe the talent you have for only having been turning 8 mos. Turning is definitely your thing! I always look forward to your posts with your fantastic...
Great to see ya posting again... I was wondering a couple days ago where you had got to! Hopefully things will settle down soon for you and you'll be able to get back to turning!
I've put multiple coats of BLO on my stuff with no trouble... you'll find you'll run into problems if you don't wipe off the excess. It will gum up and become very hard to remove. Make sure that you...
Beautiful wand! Those things are fun to make and over the course of my 3 year turning career I think that I've turned over 60! Yours turned out really nicely... your niece is gonna love it!

THat is awesome... I've seen some very unique casting ideas and this is one of the best! Great work!!
What kind of resin do you use? I have been wanting to try this for a long time?
I like my talon chuck... if you get too much bigger in size then the Talon you have a lot of chuck in the way and it is hard to get close to the foot and maneuver around in some cases. The Talon can...
