A jam chuck would work just as well, I think. I was planning on buying a vicmarc chuck with a few jaws to do just this sort of thing due to an unexpected bonus , but along with that came an unexpected cloud of steam from the front of the car . Will have to make do with jam chucks for a while yet!
I think this thread has been well and truly hijacked by now, but until the parcels start arriving, it's probably ok

I bought one of these kits some time ago for the same reason
Gary Pye Woodturning :: Gary Pye Woodturning - Gen 3 GPW100 Deluxe Chuck Set
maybe I need to add some non slip pad to help the chuck hold?
Yes I think this thread has a temporary hick in place but it is keeping it aliveCheers Rum Pig

I'd be suprised if the pin jaws wouldn't hold them - surely that's the type of only job pin jaws are good for, right? I guess if you tighten them up too much you'll explode the blank, but there has to be a firm middle ground where the blank wouldn't move
EDIT: nice chuck, BTW. that kit looks useful.

Sorry about the hijack.. I forget what the threads are about
I'll answer this last one and then shut up.I used a forstner bit and then a jam chuck.
I faced the bottom first, then used a 60 degree center drill so I could find my place
later on. Drilled out the bowl and then put it on a jam chuck with the foot in the
live center. Then shaped the outside of the bowl and then the stem and foot.
Not hard to do, but I kept forgetting which order to do things in and then I'd end
up stuck.
ps .. I got the lamp oil where they sell candles and lamps.
Usually about $1 for a quart.

Yep, that's he chuck I have. Turn the block roughly round first between the dead/live centre, then parted a tenon on one end. Swapped to the chuck, medium size jaws to hold the tenon, then went at it. Used the live centre in the tailstock to help hold while outside shaping, then chucked a 38mm forstner bit (I had to buy the whole set from GPW to get one, before David started selling them individually ) in my shiny new jacob's chuck to drill it out, All that was required then was a little finishing across the top (where I blew out some chunks ) and a Shellawax coat and polish, parted off the block to the final size and pretended no one will look at the bottom to see the mess I made of it
I don't mind the thread going off topic, as it's nearly finished anyway, but sorry for those wanting to know about the nib buy and getting spammed with turning posts

Well Charlie, I'm sorry to say that it's another win for the US over Aus in thus department. I've been to about 14 different stores (who all sell candels, essential oils, incense burners etc) looking for lamp oil now, and no luck. When I ask the shop assistants if they know where to get it, they either look at me blankly like I'm asking how to build a nuclear bomb, or simply say "no idea". The best I can find, which we have already anyway, is that Citronella oil for the garden lamps and Kerosene, neither of which are really suitable indoors (or would have that "Honey I Love You" feel to them).
Just got back from my last shopping trip before her birthday, so unfortunately it's going to be an IOU on that one .

Wouldn't alcohol work? You might have to replace the witth with a cotton one, but
it would light in the meantime..

I don't think she'd like me burning her liqueur stash Not sure what the wick is made of. Seems like some artificial polyester fibre or something. I guess Methylated Spirits might work for now. Used to burn great when I did my mad scientist experiments under my parents house

Russell, our local supermarket stocks lamp oil, as does the camping/outdoor store.
Another one that stocks it is the renovators barn, but they also sell oil lamps so no surprise there.
Might be worth a try?
