Mike thanks for saying what a good project to use a screw chuck for. I'm still somewhat new to woodturning (maybe 4 years) and I've been watching some of your videos and they have been very helpful. Thanks for the help over the years!
I have made a number of screw chucks, including using for my jet a 1x8 and 1 1/8x8 for my Nova DVR nuts mounted into a piece of wood, got the idea at one of Craft Supply annual meetings from Kip Christensen. One tip in this video will help when I attempt to make a number of refrigerator magnets, harvesting the magnets from electric toothbrush heads.
Not sure I would use for goblets because of the weak threads in the end grain and the leverage from the length. I would use a scroll chuck. You never know what project you might run into where this is the perfect solution.
Sometimes it is good to play with stuff so when you need to do something difference, you can reach back to that experience, even if it was just playing. I thought I was going to meet you in Chattanooga.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning I was disappointed that I missed seeing you. I guess we just selected different demonstrations. There were several other folks that I missed too. It was a big show and spread out. Too much walking for me. But I got there Thursday afternoon and stayed until Sunday noon. I was really ready for my own bed by then.
That video was awesome really help me I really like the idea for making knobs and I haven’t been using my screw that came with my set so now I will thank you very much
Want to thank you for your very informative videos. I also enjoyed our conversation at woodturners wonders at aaw symposium. Thank you and May God bless you. Dwight Hobbs as the rev turns.
Ive tried to use a wood worm screw but had no luck. I just couldn't get it turned on it and i used the size drill bit according to the check instructions. It just seemed to strip out before i could get it on. Yes I did do it while the latge was off. Figured I obviously am doing something wrong. Uhg.
Love the idea of the screw mandrel. I will be trying that out this weekend! I have been meaning to make a chess set as a skill challenge and this seems like a great way to get more support and even sizing without constantly fussing with calipers! As usual, thanks Professor Peace! Happy Independence Day! Hope you and your family have a great holiday ✌️
Very interesting Mike, thanks. I have never previously considered a separate definition for the two. Then, I have also used metal screw inserts in the wood block, to allow change of hanger bolt length as the screw; though care is necessary with concentricity. Did you scroll saw the knight's head illustrated? The idea of incorporating a shoulder for dimensioning is handy. Bernard.
Yes, I did scroll saw the knight head and turned the base separately with a peg to fit into a hole in the head. For concentricity, once you mount your screw and it does not run true, mount the screw chuck with a drill chuck or collet chuck holding the screw, and with tailstock support, fine tune the tenon.
I am a total beginner so excuse me if my question is stupid. If you use a worm screw on a bowl blank that leaves a hole at the bottom of your bowl doesn't it? Do you fill it in? Or is the amount of wood you screw into sacrificial and gets parted off?
@@MikePeaceWoodturning .. No instructions came with the Nova G3 (-D). I found other G3 Manuals that recommend 5/16 pilot but the worm screw has no taper and refuses the opening even using wax. A larger diameter pilot hole loses traction on the short screw embedment especially when a collar is needed. A tapered tap designed for the wood screw threading might help.
The idea of adding a tenon as a gauge was very helpful, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Great technique for a production run.
Hi Mike. Greetings & thanks from Airth, Central Scotland. As a new turner, very very new, I'm learning so much from your videos. Thanks
So happy my videos are helpful!
Have a coffee on me. Found the video most helpful defining the difference between screw chuck and wom screw.
Very informative. You made some good points that I hadn’t thought of. Keep up the good work and thank you for doing what you do.
Thanks for that.
Always good to re-visit the knowledge banks Mike,thank you!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
My pleasure!!
Thanks Mike! Conjured up many new ideas after watching this.
Excellent!
Thanks, Mike! I continue to enjoy these basic, often overlooked, discussions.
Funny, that when you have been turning for a while it is easy to forget how much you learned that you take for granted.
Thanks for the tips Mike. Always appreciated. Cheers, Tom
You bet
Excellent video Mike. Very informative and useful for all levels of turner 👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Thanks Mike so far I haven’t used a screw chuck yet, now I may try it . Your so clear and explain everything so well.
Thank you Carroll. Good to have another chucking tool in your arsenal.

There are magnets in electric toothbrush heads? Who knew?
Great video Mike. Thanks for taking time to present this important information. I can see this being most useful for Spindel work or doing goblets.

@@MikePeaceWoodturning I will remember that. Thanks Mike
Your shirt should say "I just make sense." Thanks for the info.
Thanks! I have misplaced my T shirt that someone gave me that says "I just make things."
Great info Mike.
Glad it was helpful, Jack!
Good info. Thanks, Mike.
Any time!
I do mostly segmented pieces so not much call for screw chucks. But it's good to know about them.

@@glencrandall7051 I was working at the Woodturners Wonders booth the entire show. Never had a chance to get out.

I am surprised at Woodturners who will make a shop cabinet and buy knobs!
I wife buys different containers for storage and I’m always make it or knobs for the top of them or the sides of them
They’re great warm-up projects or if you have just a few minutes to turn

So good to meet you Dwight! Safe turning brother.

It is a good chucking method. Sorry it is not working for you.

Thanks, Jacob. Happy 4th to you as well. I have an entire playlist on turning chess sets.

You mount the WW screw in what will be the top so you can finish the bottom and add a tenon or recess to reverse to do the inside.
I can never get the worm screw to engage the wood. Why not use a machine thread tap to prep the wood and a simple bolt?
I have never had a problem. Maybe different drill bit size?

@@bobevans4758 Push the blank on harder when threading. 5/16" works. I use the Nova WW screw often on my G3. A little parafin helps.
