Your build projects are a never ending surprise package for me
What's up Wayne?
I love how he always looks like he just woke up. Makes me feel better about my day.
Cool design Matt.
Until I see what he does, maybe we should all look like we just woke up. I do tons of stuff but I see this guy do projects and feel like a complete novice.
Here in Atibaia cudade interiorana of the State of São Paulo in Brazil, I do not lose a video of you. You're the best of them all. This one I copied and mounted my wood lathe, Thanks for sharing your videos, A hug.
Matthias you truly have a magical mind, it must never rest
Mechanical. Not magical. When he can teleport his physical body we can go further
This has been a great engineering series. It's amazing to me what you've made.
Nice job sir ! 👍😉... Said from an old mechanic.
And I did appreciate your way to save plywood !
mathias sos un genio la verdad no se me ocurre nada que no puedas hacer no tenes límites con la madera..estoy totalmente agradecido por todo lo que enseñas en tu canal..muchísimas gracias
This guy is the Bob Ross of woodworking. I have no idea how the guy does it but it looks hella tight

Typical Matthias, pure genius as usual! Figure things out as you proceed & change gears in order to make it work. Gotta love it.............Steve
Mr. Wandel: I went from binge-watching garbage on Netflix to binge-watching your videos. I am so impressed with your work. It's so refreshing to actually watch something from which I can learn practical lessons -- and not just about woodworking, but about problem solving and out-of-the-box thinking. Keep up the excellent work; I look forward to many more hours of enlightenment! Cheers from Michigan!
Seriously Matthias, you're the biggest inspiration I have for being creative. Thank you for another great video!
somebody give this man a medal. Your wood working skills is A+

Matthias super urađena majstorija ,svaka čast bez komentara bravo.
The minimalist in me loves how you build just what's needed and nothing more.
Wow!! Great video..Thanks so much for sharing..These videos are awesome!! I have no idea what your making most of the time but honestly, who cares. Lol. It's so much fun watching you make all this really cool stuff. I think my favorite part of all your videos is watching you make your own little tools to get the job done. Amazing!! I really do enjoy that most.. Thanks again for sharing & keep the videos coming.. :))
I have really enjoyed your lathe build videos. Good job Matthias.

I've never been jealous of someone's ability to make things from scratch until I found your channel. I wish I had the intelligence (and patience) you do! I love you videos! Keep them up!
I am really enjoying this series of videos. You make this seem so much less intimidating than I thought it would be. Thank you so much
That is a nice chuck but the simplicity is Guinness. The way you made the face plate and chuck on the same shaft is neat. This lathe has a different vibe than your other shop tools though. Nothing bad about it but its built in a different fashion than we have seen in your other builds. Thank you for passing along your tallents.
Awesome! That's a beautiful chuck, can't wait to watch it in action on that bowl!

i like its good
awesome
Matthias You could always add a lock ring around the threaded rods, bolts and jaws.
Cut a ring from 1/2" plywood that covers the bolts, cut dovetail pins on the inside of the ring. Then cut blind tails into the chuck, equidistant between the jaws . Slide the ring on from the back once the stock is locked in place, then secure with a couple of wood screws through the pins and blind part of the tail.
Matthias, what about a locknut, washer and a light-duty spring to keep the chuck jaws pressed to the center or outside of the chuck (depending on where you would mount the jaw itself in the assembly) ? would reduce risk of it not retaining the parts.
I wont do those things you do ever, but it is a work of art to see you work on your artistic skills.
*Man I tell you this guy got SOME SKILLZ*
Ah the teaser at the end. Great job on the build.

You make it look so easy.
You can take a large ring clamp and strap it over the edge of that chuck and tighten it down to prevent any bolts flying out in case one wanted to slip.
Have enjoyed this entire build. Looking forward to more.
you could put a large hose clamp around the chuck to act as a safeguard to prevent the fingers from flying off if they or the bolt fails
One little tip for you. Use curd soap as a lubricant in your bearings, oil lets the wood swell up and it starts to rott eventually. Curd soap is a better lubricant aswell.
+Cofay Mc und Cs:go That's some really bad advice. And oil prevents rot.
+Cofay Mc und Cs:go BTFO
+Matthias Wandel Wow,
you have no idea. Just give the curd soap a try and you will crawl back
to me on your knees for beeing so ignorant. Carpenters use that stuff
to lubricate wooden drawers and stuff like that for hundreds of years.
And oil WILL mess up your lathe, vegetable oil goes bad after a while
and mineral oil does nasty things to wood and plywood too.
Cofay Mc und Cs:go master mathhias knows what he's doing
+Cofay Mc und Cs:go you're teaching a fish how to swim.
hey matthias, I don't want to badger you about this but I think you can produce some really fine work while still using safe and proper equipment if you bought a couple of turning tools. Frankly, all you need in my opinion is a bowl gouge and a parting tool. You can buy these tools for stupid cheap from a lot of places (penn state industries, amazon, eBay)
Cool chuck! Im excited to see how it works on that bowl!
Take it easy,
Pete
I like and appreciate all of your videos. I am mainly a woodturner, and so this latest series on the lathe is particularly awesome! Great work.
Brilliant idea as far as design is concerned. Congratulations. I would suggest two thin gauge steel discs screwed on either side, shaped as required, plus a central steel bush with four threads to take the jaw adjusting screws and a hole for the locking pin would make this brilliant design much safer.
Made the lathe but found that the interchangeable headstocks cumbersome. So made the headstock holder changeable, much easier
Good point. I actually have two headstock holders too - first one used wood screws, the second one anchor bolts.
I did a somewhat similar setup at one point using the stock face plate that came with my lathe and built wooden slides out of scrap red oak for the clamps (I figured the hard wood would be strong enough to hold up with less material, and it was), and used machine screws and washers to screw them down to the face plate. To keep it safe I simply used two nuts on each screw to lock it down. It worked for the piece I needed it to, which was a wand I made out of 1" square stock, but I find the diameter to be too small for bowls given that it is limited by the size of the smallest set of screw holes in the stock face plate.
I like this design in that it allows for more use of the available surface area. I think I might make one to use on my lathe, but since I have an existing set up I'll just drill holes to line up with my existing face plate and countersink them for longer machine screws, using the double nut technique again for safety. I'll probably again use either hard wood or possibly metal for my jaws just so I can get a strong piece with less material; I think if you cut a section of pipe to size with an angle grinder, that would give a consistent round to the jaws with about a sixth of the thickness to the material (and thus that much more diameter to work with).
I could of course buy a lathe chuck, but they're a bit pricey and my current lathe isn't exactly a high-end machine that I'll want to make that kind of investment on.
Fantastic. Use lock nuts with a plastic top or a spring washer to decrease the risk of them loosening while turning.
I'm not at all surprised that it worked.
Nicely done!
the thing to do is find a large rubber band to put around the outer edge to slow down any wayward parts if it does collapse.
but the real question is: how many wood chunks would a wooden wood Chuck Chuck?
I've been keeping up with your channel for a couple of months, watched every video. I'm into wood turning myself so when I saw you were making a "series" on a wooden lathe I was so excited. I've always wondered if it was possible to make a jaw chuck out of wood, now you've proven it. Now, you have to show me you can make a drill press.
hello metthias,
have you ever experienced over heating or burning on the wooden bearings?
i know your using oil on them, but im concerned they still might overheat from the friction.
that chan happen, yes. Hasn't happened to me.
matthias you are a genius
You are a great teacher,sir.
You might be able to put a hose clamp around the circumference of the chuck so that if one of the jaws does come loose it'll be stopped by the clamp ?
Really in joy your videos.
Great chuck design. Easy enough
There could be a wooden guard around the nuts so they wouldn't fly out if they became loose? Or Nyloc nuts could also be an option.
spade blades or flat bit are always in inches hard to find it in milimiters
and theres no equivalencies between mill and inches you can find a 1inch bit but usually steel rods are 25mm and theres 0,4mm gap
5:27 could have used epoxi glue with the screw then you can unbolt it and use as a nut
or could squeze a nut in there with epoxi or wood glue
Nice work, You should use a large, heavy duty rubberband or inner tubing around the chuck to keep any loose bolt to flight across the room!
Tape, elastic band or knotted band around the chuck will secure the nut and jaws.
+Helge Frisenette or maybe nylon locknuts
awesome one Matt
I would recommend for the safety issue; use nylock nut's to prevent them from backing out. A nylock nut will however need to be replace on occasion after many cycles on and off. I imagine the first set will last about as long as the lathe bearings. (nylock nut) Captive plastic ring one end of the nut.
One should always celebrate the making of a 4-jaw chuck with a glass of Two Buck Chuck . . .
Wonderful video, as usual, Matthias. You make my day any time you upload a video!
?
+Eugeniusz Budzich A figure of speech; it means that my day is made better because I watched a top quality video.
You might want to use hex nylon insert lock nuts to help prevent parts from flying off. Also, a threaded insert for the bolt to screw into with permanent lock tight to hold it in place.
hello my friend matthias wandel I'm an admirer of your projects I live in Brazil and I try to copy your work because I think it's very interesting that it's a shame that I do not speak your language and your video is in English + anyway I do not stop sharing hugs
On making the chuck.
Instead of screwing 4 individual bits of threaded rod in from the top,
How about inserting some type of machine screw/carriage bolt from the inside out.
That way the head would have to pull all the way through the wood instead of just the threads in the wood letting go.
Getting a hole in the face-plate large enough is not likely, so how about, two low height jam nuts and red Loctite ?
Does your mind ever rest? I am always amazed at what the human brain can do! ...and you sir are amazing!
I love watching your videos on Friday mornings. Thanks!
Perhaps a large worm gear hose clamp could go around the chuck as a safety measure, in case the feet or bolts wiggle loose.
Wow! Best wood home made chuck I seen anybody make so far. Real good stuff man.
You could use a hose clamp around the chuck to secure the jaws and mitigate some of that risk.
Hmmmm...have you considered updateing the shaft to one that would be used with a Nova G3 ? The nice thing about that concept is that if you updated to a beefier lathe...the Nova would be easily reuseable
Your ingenuity never ceases to amaze :D
I wished you lived close. I have an antique verticle Bridgeport milling machine that you could use to be able to get precisely in the middle of those holes. It would just be much easier to do the tight tolerances for drilling or milling keyways and that mind of work that you do when building the Kool shop tools that you show us. This antique is bigger than a table top model but not as big as a modern vertical Bridgeport. Tho you could probably buy a mill that is close to home cheaper than shipping this one.
I don't know why you had doubt, you made it right , nice
Castlenuts with cotter pins would be one layer of added safety but a pain to setup.
Well put the bearings are normal! A smart guy like that, and you do stuff...
If you are worried about the nuts flying off just make a removable metal guard to cover the chuck whilst in use.
NB. if the nuts come loose you're likely to realise it a long time before they "fly off" (Ouut), the job will get a "mite" eccentric first.
Very good Matthias
If you place a band on the perimeter of the chuck nothing will fly off. Use you bike tube or poly band from glue jug/milk carton.
I love it! Way to think outside of the box. You amaze me often. I just watched all four lathe videos and am all set to make my own. In fact, I need the lathe to make the parts for the marble machine that I just purchased. Your videos now are much better than they were a couple of years ago. Good job!
I don't think there's too much chance of the bolts coming out. If anything they might be prone to slowly unscrewing themselves slowly over time, so you'd just need to check them every so often. I think that as long as you're turning smallish stock with this, it should be fine.
You are best handyman in world.
3:05 "let's see if I can get that nice and precise..."
bwahahahaha.
+frollard percussion is how things are aligned precisely. A shot with a hammer is more more accurate than you can be pushing something by hand.
+Paul Frederick the eternal false dichotomy. He uses a gear puller to get it apart. Leverage. Now leverage...that's precise.
I just want to see a computer manufacturer aligning the silicon die on a substrate for the machine that bonds the wires to it say exactly the same phrase..."let's see if I can get that nice and precise" and then start bashing the shit out of it with a mallet. The statement has a comical incongruity.

I've worked in a tool and die machine shop. We hit everything to align it. That is just how it is done. End of discussion.

Awesome video gave me several ideas thanks
Fantastic work
As always Mathias, a passioned genius.
Very nice. my father watched this as well and I'm planning on doing this have lots of plywood scraps. thanks for the great work you do
You might consider locktite to prevent the nuts 🔩 from coming loose. Really great 👍 vid!
8:55........"and I'm actually surprised that it worked" I wasn't surprised. Nice job.
I'm not surprised it worked... you succeed much more often than not. I always enjoy your videos... keep them coming.
You could put the chuck on the Outside and turn Huge bowls on it
huh! Very good idea for the chuck! simple but seems it would work rather well.
I now have a new respect for what can be done with wood.

Gotta admit I had my doubts on whether a DIY lathe chuck would be any good. Every design I toyed around with in my head had shrapnel potential.
I have an ancient Dunlap 9" lathe with a solid bar instead of a threaded axle. I've got a spur bit, but nobody sells a 3-jaw or 4-jaw chuck. I'll probably try your method. Thanks.
I would be wary of the chuck jaws. I think the laminations would split off, and the workpiece would go flying.
I would just use the faceplate. I would screw on and true up a sacrificial block, and then glue the bowl blank to it with a layer of kraft paper in between. Shape the bottom of the bowl first, and then split it free from the sacrificial block, resurface the block, and then reglue the bowl to the block with kraft paper in berween, and then shape the bowl.
cutter/split pins or self locking nuts would prevent the whole thing from flying apart
Neat build!
To make the usage a bit safer, how about buying a long drill bit and drill the holes for the threaded rod straight through?
Thats for the jaws 1+3 and 2+4, they have to be a bit off from each other. Then the force from clamping will be through a solid piece of rod for each pair=> the risk of getting hurt decreases and clamping force and confidence increases!
This chuck model must be 3 times easier to build compared to the "Longworth chuck" + adjustable for 0 run out!

Hi Matthias looking good, for the safety issue you could make a guard .G
I purchased the plans yesterday, and WOW are they nice. I am so looking forward to this build . Only problem is I don't read metric well. That maybe something on your plans that could be added on later.
+avalonbear61 See section in plans "why the plans are in metric". Fractional units are not not practical for machine designs.
avalonbear, get a cheap calculator and store 25.4 in the memory.
Divide millimetres by 25.4 to get inches.
Fractions of inches you'll have to figure out yourself, or get decimal and get used to metricity :)
Mr Maeehias Wandel, I really love your work. Speed and accuracy, you work with are really the best. I am too carpenter by birth but I spend my life as nuclear scientist in India. I really appreciate your skill. I would like to work with wood as craft man. Thanks you lot.
Reminds me of a Gingery lathe. Nice work!

You are number one man, amazing job
Incredible. FYI Matthias you have some white foamy stuff outside your windows in the last frames.
What about drilling and pinning the threaded rod to ensure that it won't pull out of the wooden chuck?
If you made the screws longer you could put on two nuts making it more secure atleast against vibration.
And if you are realy into security may drill a series of holes in the rode and use a locking spring most closly.
To prevent your chuck grips from potentially flying out - just wrap a piece of small tyre inner tube tightly around the chuck. ;) Just make sure it's easily put on and offable when you need to access the chuck bolts.
+Kris A (londongamer)
That's a great idea. You could maybe even make small holes in the inner tube where the bolts are for tightening.
+Kris A (londongamer) Or you could use an oversized hose clamp. That way you could tighten it down as much as necessary and easily remove it when it was time to release the nuts.
+StutleyConstable a hose clamp is not perfectly balanced. youll throw a wrench in things for sure
+StutleyConstable There's a potential flaw in your idea though,... (ok, mine has too, but for a different reason). Your idea has the single screw-down part, it would potentially throw the chuck off balance while it was spinning, causing vibration. Though TWO hose clamps might prevent it, in fairness. Yet there'd still be screws which may (or may not), be susceptible to failure under the stresses of high RPM.
Kris A I think we're seeing something like 300 to 500 RPM. The screw in a hose clamp is unlikely to fail at that speed, especially since the stress would be lateral to the shank of the screw. I also think a single hose clamp would be fine on a machine made primarily from wood, however, I agree that using two hose clamps would balance things out and reduce the risk of vibration.
