The tyler video was helpful. Just getting it
started with a nice circle would make the
rest easier. Also, he turns first and
then drills the chamber. That way the
briar is easily secured with the tailstock.
By the way, on the 6" crapsman chuck
I have if I use the diy jaws with the
other pair the standard steel ones,
and a dead center on the tail, there
are no problems. Still, I think I am
writing to Mrs Santa Claus for the
utility grip from PSI...
One thing I didn't admit earlier was that
I did have briar and part of wooden
jaw zoom into outer space. That's why
I made two and changed the design a
bit. Fortunately, I had a sense I was
living dangerously and was standing
back to the left of the headstock and
with a shield. Things tend to fly off
to the right... Ok, I am 55 and should
know better ...
On music ... my son does electronic
music -- from house to ambient, so
I'll ask him if he wants to donate some
and you can see if you like it.
