    Default Chuck sizing jig ...for free !!!

    Hi guys , saw this jig on YouTube awhile ago , Mark Sanger an English turner showed how to make a very simple jig for your Chuck jaws , thought I would make myself one or two for my chucks
    A piece of scrap pine , a nail and a pencil ..........pretty simple and cheap , we have these bits laying around in our sheds ....
    Measure your jaws diameter add a couple of mm and divide by half, put the nail in one end and the pencil at the other , make one for the tenon and one for a recess ,
    Thought some of you might be interested in making one for yourself...
