Going to attempt my first outboard turning. I have the adaptor to fit my chuck to the outboard side of the headstock.
How do i prep the blank so that it can go onto the chuck? I'm going to start small probably ~13 inches. by 4 inches thick. My first thought is to use a forstner bit and drill press to make a recess in the blank. Am i on the right track or headed for disaster?
Thanks
