I went to the woodworking show today, and picked up a few bits and pieces - I nearly nearly nearly came home with a Nova 2 chuck - I hovered around Jim Carrols stand for so long he probably thought I was stalking him!
The thing that stopped me - the outboard turning has to be reverse thread, so I will in the end need two chucks, one for the spindle side, one for outboard - well, thats what I assume anyway. So I figured in the mean time I will use the current chucks and keep SWMBO happy too

Photo 1 looks to have the Sorby depth gauge attached, so its prob a parting tool. Undo the gauge screws and remove it, should be good for, well, parting (above the) ways. (boom tish).
Edit: no, Craft Supplies gauge - US mob methinks.
The other one in pic 1: ring tool? or a mount for a cup cutter.
Pic 2: yeah, all spingle gouges (all forged?), some sorry looking grindsCheers, Ern

This looks to be a home made Chuck, the idea is to have a hole the same size as the rod in you timber and with a small pin sitting on the flat insert it into the timber and rotate so the small pin locks it onto the rod.
The first one is a sizing tool for spindle work. The idea is to use it the same as a prting tool and the collar is adjustable so that you can make multiple sizings on a spindle. When the collar slips past the spindle, it is turned to the correct size.
The second one is some form of hollowing tool. Looks to be an aggresive oneCheers

The piece is a pin chuck,on the flat goes a round pin,the timber with the hole bored same size as full shaft with round pin the size to complete the circle that is.As the twist is applied it locks on the shaft by the rolling pin.
Handy. Peter

Ahh - excellent - thanks for all the corrections and informations. Looks like I only really *need* one Nova. For now Another quick question - I'm going to remove all the surface rust on the bed, toolrests etc - what should I then treat this bare metal with? Theres gotta be something for this!M

M, for the bed you only need light machine oil or WD40.
For the rest, there are preparations like Inox or lanolin based formulations. For the bare surface of the toolrest paste wax is fine.
Best of luckCheers, Ern

You can also use the Traditional Wax from our sponsor to put over the bed of the lathe and any bare metal. It will help to keep things nice and slick when you move the banjo

Would you trust it, though? I just bought the Nova2 and the grub screw you mention, minuscule, just sits on top of the thread with a fibre washer underneath, does not lock in some sort of recess. No problem for me because I opted for the swivel head (Jet 1440) but I would not feel at all confident using it in a reversed position for large work. On the other hand, maybe I am just overcautious, and can not claim any experience in the matter...

Before you get all screwed up with Nomenclature, and get al fuddled up whe those Limy English terms... the Tool Rest Holder is Not a Banjo, A Banjo is a Musical Instrument Similar to a guitar but with an Animal Gut head like a drum head as a sounding box.
Okay I'm a clod for correcting the spoken language but It burns my ???? to keep hearing folks call things by some Stupid name when they have a correct term. Pet Peeve of mine, I guess.
You were much better calling them "toolrest attchment jiggers " than Banjos...
Sorry to correct you Skew but It just yanks my yankee chain when I hear that term.

Hickory,
The use of the term "banjo" is because the shape is reminiscent of the shape of the musical instrument, a visual form of onomatopoeia and which quite a common variant in the use of English.
Note, also, that in your use of "Limy English" you have misspelled Limey and the use of "Limey" and "English" in the same sentence is tautological given that a "Limey" is necessarily an English person.
The word "Yankee" is a proper noun in the context in which you have used it, thus requiring an upper case first letter.
Most of what you express is opinion rather than yer actual factual grammatical, syntactical, or usage of Australian English language and is reflective of the rich Australian version of "English as she is spoke".
You are cordially invited to seek out and read a book by the title of, "Let's Talk Strine" by Afferbeck Lauder, which explains many of the differences in humorous settings.
