Have you ever seen a Chuck (http://www.ornamentalturning.co.uk/index.htm) like this?
Further details here (http://www.ornamentalturning.co.uk/UNUSUAL%20ENGINE%20TURNING%20CHUCK.pdf)
This chuck at the base is just 5" dia, has a screw mounting to attach to a lathe, although most OT lathes only have a 5 to 6"swing. It extends out on a number of cross slides, each layer has its own index rotary situation.
