    I'm really looking forward to the grippy things day at 's. I am particularly interested in seeing the different ways to hold natural edge bowls when it's time to finish the foot and/or underside of the bowl.

    No probs. I'll also bring my pendant and perfume chucks.

    If anyone wants any cast blanks brought down let me know (ie pepper grinder, pen, bottle stopper, pendants etc).

    Got back yesterday, almost missed my flight, I thought it was on Wednesday After living in my mother's ultra-clean house, mine looks awful . I'm going to have to clean up a bit. I did get a heap of deliveries though, including 370 crocodile jaws in 2 big boxes .

    Internal jam chuck; cheap and cheerful as you can turn your own.

    Needs tailstock support obviously which means some manual finishing at the end.

    Or a vacuum chuck that inserts into the hollow and has a gasket at the rim that's good enough to hold the piece with light touch finishing. Complete most of the foot with TS support, then retract it and finish the rest.

    But it seems to me more efficient though not in every case possible (for design reasons) to finish the foot when you're doing the bowl outside, where the foot allows chuck expansion mounting in a recess. (That matter has been exhaustively argued about in this forum; it works for me).
    Cheers, Ern

    Apparently we are only allowed to do things about holding things on the lathe! So maybe just your perfume and pendant chucks. Don't want to make the boss grumpy

    Can I assume that we will be gripping and turning off-centre work like the tops of salt and pepper grinders?

    I think Grumpy is practicing those at the moment so he can show us how it is done!
