Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I make a metal base on which you can mount your turning chuck. The base itself is mounted on your lathe's tool rest position. This way you can remove your turned item, carve it and then remount it on the lathe without losing centre. It is also pretty expensive to buy something like that ready made.
First of all I found a screw that matched the female threads of my chuck.
I then cut the screw to size with my grinder. I chamfered the threads by mounting the piece on my lathe and using the grinder.
I then cut a piece of tubing. I also made it a bit smaller so the screw fit nicely.
I then welded a nut on top of it. When I weld and have gaps I use a broken electrode or another piece of metal to fill the gap.
I then made a knob using a threaded rod.
Next I cut and welded the rest of the parts.
I primed and painted the parts and my vise was ready.
It worked better than I expected and it actually saved me a lot of money.
But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
