    Default Holding down your work.

    Does anyone have any thoughts on how to hold down or attach your work without creating a tenon or attaching with a faceplate? In other words attaching the substrate without defacing it at all.

    This is just a general query and one I've been thinking about lately.

    Is there any tutorials around or advice I need to heed, especially when it comes to safety?

    Thanks in advance.

    -Scott.

    Often have to mount a piece that's too small to waste anything on a tenon so I just glue it on to a bit of waste with PVA. I keep a lot of the tenons after I've parted a finished item off them and I true the face up before I take it out of the chuck so it's ready to glue onto whatever comes up As long as you have both surfaces flat, PVA should hold fine.

    Hot melt glue. Carpet tape (high quality). Jam chuck. As Vern says, a waste block glued on.

    On a roll !

    I suppose I should elaborate a bit more. I have a piece of ringed gidgee (small), the outside bark log is obviously half circle and the other side is flat. I want to hollow the flat side while keeping the bark intact. Thoughts?

    Mount a board (3/4" ply is good) on a face plate and attach to lathe.

    Centre your piece of timber with the tail stock on the board.

    Put scrap timber down each side of the blank that is a little thinner that the thickness of the blank and attach to board.

    Screw cleats into side pieces across the blank to lock it down.

    Put a scrap piece of timber screwed into the board at ech end to make sure you no slippage endways. Turn.

    Quicker to do than type.

    Fantastic, thank you! I'd obviously been over thinking the solution to the point where I couldn't think. If you get what I mean?

    That helps immensely Cliff, thank you, appreciated. I think I've gone mad searching youtube over the last 30 minutes before I turned to the brains trust, should of done that in the first place!
