In this video, I take a look at making and using a friction drive for removing the chucking method used when woodturning bowls, and in particular, recesses. This method can also be used for reverse mounting bowls with tenons, or pieces that are not able to be reverse mounted onto cole jaws or in a longworth chuck.
For the friction drive chucking method, I used a 100x100x75,, (4x4x3") beech spindle blank which was then covered with a piece of neoprene approximately 100x100mm (4x4"). There is also a small cube with a tiny piece of neoprene on, too.
This is the first video using my permanent filming and live demo set-up and it features the excellent Vicmarc VL300 lathe that is available from Simon Hope at www.hopewoodturning.co.uk.
