Thanks so much for this video. In the last method, using Mr. Raffan’s skew created shelf on the inside of the bowl to lean the chuck on, once you turn off the spigot on the bottom how do you remove the inside shoulder ? I am a rookie and this maybe a dumb question.
There is no such thing as a silly question.
* Place the old out of shape tenon into the chuck as I demonstrated in the video.
* Form the shoulder/shelf/step that you mentioned on the inside of the bowl, use your bowl gouge, skew, or just your square-end scraper.
* Take the bowl off the chuck, then reposition the bowl to face the chuck. Secure the chuck jaws by expanding them into the newly formed shelf/step/ shoulder you just created. Reshape the tenon to ensure it spins true while shaping the outside of the bowl. Shape the outside until smooth and ready for sanding (but hold off on sanding).
* Now rotate the bowl again, putting the newly formed tenon back into the chuck. Finish turning the piece entirely on the inside.
* Now setup up for sanding. Sand and apply your finish. In this video, wet sanding with Danish oil is shown to achieve a clean, even finish: ruclips.net/video/J8mKX1QGxjo/видео.html
* After completing the sanding and applying a finish both inside and outside, it's time to remove the tenon. This video offers a simple method for doing that👌 ruclips.net/video/gOcFuTWKYXs/видео.html
Just remember,The only stupid question is the one that goes unasked.
I hope this is helpful mate

@@KerryCorney Thank you. I will take you up on that offer.
@@darrylcrum2495 🤝
Love your enthusiasm when trying to pull that bowl off the chuck😅, makes me feel confident to try that.
Have to show it works 😎😏 I prefer the Glenn Lucas method simply because I core all my bowls and I do not have to chop and change all the time when processing. 👌
YOUR VIDS ARE PACKED WITH GREAT INFO. ITS A PLEASURE TO SEE THEM POP UP ON MY FEED. IM A NEWBEE BLESSED WITH TURNING OUT SOME NICE BOWLS, BUT OFTEN STUMPED WITH ISSUES I HAVENT LEARNED TO FIX YET. CHEERS, STEVE- USA
Thanks so much for the comment, Steve.
I really appreciate it, mate.

Great vid mate. Few things there I hadn't thought of. Cheers
Thanks, mate, that's music to my ears. I am really happy it could help in any way. Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is any topic you need me to cover. Cheers
Kerry , Good info and great teaching video. Your videos are very helpful to me Thanks
Thanks so much for the positive feedback, Alan. Is there any video topic that I could film for you?
Very nice brother! You do a great job!
Cheers, brother, Getting three cameras to all work at once was a challenge for this one. So happy it all worked out in the end. I am looking at getting a new microphone. Thanks bruv
Thanks for the explanation on remounting a bowl. I love the last technique. ❤
The Richard Raffan technique is fantastic. I aimed to mention several techniques I use to assist others, and I'm pleased you've found one that suits you. Cheers mate.
Kez
Kerry, love your videos, very informative. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much mate. I appreciate that🙏
You should turn yourself a wooden mallet i am a retired auto tech used my hands as hammers for years had to have carpal tunnel surgery cause i am a meat head great video
Yes! I definitely need more of them. I have a couple already but a few more would be useful. Cheers mate
Well researched, presented and credited 👍👍
Thank you very much, mate. I consistently aim to give credit where it's due, attributing information to the source. I believe it's vital to uphold the recognition of those who contribute. Cheers, mate!
Great video! This was super helpful for a newbie
cheers mate, I’m really glad it helped.
Very interesting video.
Cheers Nic, let me know if there is a topic you would like me to cover to help you out. Kez
Thank you very well explained ❤😊
Thank you so much. I hope it helped. Let me know if there is anything you would like me to cover. Cheers,

A trick I learned from Richard Raffen was for mounting blanks, which for you would be rough turning and coring, but for me finish turning, I drill a recess in the top side of the blank. For my Vidmark 120 chuck, that is a 2 5/8 diameter forstner bit, no clue to what metric sizes would be, but you don't want a tight fit, and especially if your blank is uneven, then drill down far enough so that the blank rests oh the outside part of the jaws. . Take the biggest bowl core first, and you already have the center mount for the core by expanding into the drilled recess.... I do use the McNasty, Every one who has tried to use it swears at it. Those of us who know how to use it swear by it......
Oh yeh! I made a video on that method👌👌
Works a like a charm
Ok back to the grinder for another lesson 😢!! I’m learning the light touch doing well with the scrapers but those compound curves are still a challenge!!
I don't know if anyone has already mentioned it, but at 1:11, getting those four jaws to tighten equally around the screw can be a challenge. Depending on your chuck, it seems that attaching those jaws can require some pretty specific technique. I made the mistake of assuming "Nova" chucks would be excellent. Well they mostly are but then I started having problems with finish, tool marks, vibration, tearing. Someone please do a video about how to properly get those jaws lined up on the chuck.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re encountering these issues. Personally, I haven’t faced any problems with aligning the jaws after switching them to different sizes; or when cleaning the chucks. I use Vicmarc chucks and jaws exclusively. If you’re considering upgrading to Vicmarc, you can find thread adapters to fit your spindle.
I will for add your idea and any others to my list of to-do videos, Walter. Please let me know any future ideas you come up with and or need a hand with🙏🤝
Cheers, Walter.

Loved when you opened the chuck too wide and the jaw fell out! Hubby and I are absolute beginners and have done exactly that , and had to fiddle around to get it back in properly. We bought a vintage lathe along with a bunch of accessories, but are lacking a chuck screw, or face plate, and I am trying to figure out exactly what to order to get going . I ordered a face plate, but it appears to not be machined properly, and won’t screw on. The lathe came with two 4 jaw chucks, but it seems we need something more in order to secure a piece to cut a tenon. It is rather confusing. Anyway, fun and informative video.
Thank you so much for your comment. I was thinking, if either of you have Facebook, there is a Woodturning for Beginners page on there that is useful. Can I ask what brand of lathe you have?
I’m really happy that this video helped. Please let me know if I can make a video on a certain topic that can help in any way.
Cheers,
Kez
@@KerryCorney thank you for your reply and suggestions. It is an Atlas, one that was originally used by (I think) McDonald Douglas to make mock ups of parts. My husband would remember better, I think. This is funny/not funny, I ordered another face plate but it was marked delivered to my mailbox and was not in there! It is a locking mailbox, so I will wait till tomorrow and see if my mail carrier made a mistake. Hubby managed to get a tenon onto a piece of cherry, a log about 5” in diameter, so we are making progress. If you made a video that addresses options to secure the piece while cutting a tenon, alternate ways to create a tenon, or any way to get a larger piece than a 2x2 on the lathe if you don’t have a face plate would be helpful. Also I have several pieces of very spalted wood, discussion on whether stabilization with something like Cactus Jiuce is advised, how to proceed would be helpful. Thanks again.
Excellent camera shots. Thanks for that Kez!
Thanks so much for recognising that mate. I had three going this time. It's a lot of work editing them in post. But, I get a good kick knowing it helped🤝🙏💪
@@KerryCorney I definitely know how much effort goes into the editing portion. You have always done a awsome job of that!
Thanks. Your videos are so much better then mine.
But thanks again.
An even faster method is rough turn bowls with a slightly longer tenon..then when dry use a Forstner bit ( I use 60mm or 100mm depending on bowl size) and make a hole in the center point you left on tenons. Mount on chuck and finish turning your bowl.. you can then turn inside and outside from that mounting position. Takes practice to turn the outside “backwards “ but bowls will be %100 true inside and out…then just normal tenon removal.
Sounds like you have it all sorted mate👌 I made a full video on using a Forstner bit. ruclips.net/video/QiCNRcm4HfU/видео.htmlsi=CmJSVhdT77cIKUTw
I use it for time time to get me out of a jam! 🤝
Cheers mate.

Chuck Jaws! This was very informative. Not having all the experience of turning i sometimes lack this knowledge on how you can mount bowls. Thanks for putting together this video, i also am getting some ideas on how i can re-organize my turning area as im not happy with the layout right now. Do you find that you ever have any tools fall off the magnet holder on the wall?
Haha, CHUCK JAWS!! Nah, the magnets are the go👌 just with smaller tools have to glue a little stip of ply or something as a perch for the bottom.
@@KerryCorney ive got a couple of those magnet bars laying around not being used. I might need to look into doing something like that.
Oh for sure mate. Helps when I can see everything
@@Chipswoodworking
On the first three methods, how do you finish the inside of the bowls? Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience 👍
Hey, you've just inspired a video idea for me. Once you've shaped the exterior and formed the tenon, flip it over and attach the chuck. Proceed to turn the interior, sand it, and then apply some oil. I will make a video of each method right up to sanding. 👌
Found you based on Tomislav's recommendation, and after watching your first video, subscribed.
One thing I wondered; you did not mention using a Longworth chuck or jumbo bowl jaws. Was this because you do not prefer those, or you wanted to show remounting without specialist (expensive) equipment, or because you think those should be used only after rounding the warped blank first? I have adjustable jumbo jaws, would it be safe for remounting or finishing only? Thanks in advance and greetings from Finland!
Firstly, thank you for taking the opportunity to follow Tomislav's recommendation and checking out my channel 🙏.
Concerning the jumbo jaws, I exclusively utilize them for removing the tenon once the bowl has been finished.
My intention is to showcase various options to fellow turners, expanding their understanding of alternative methods they can utilize effectively with items they may already have. I hope this answers your question. Please let me know. Cheers,
Kezza
@@KerryCorney I agree. I was also told the jumbo jaws are intended for finalizing touches, not heavy work, when I bought mine. So that would be removing the tenon, sanding, decorating, polishing. Probably best to use common sense, an heavy bowl blank flying off the lathe is not a great idea. Perhaps a follow-up video - how NOT to make a tenon on a warped bowl blank. Jumbo jaws are made of aluminum, which also plays a role, although sturdy, but it is a softer metal. I bought them for other projects, not bowls.
I envy those coring systems... I only have one horsepower so holding my horses and not buying one. Yet.
Thanks for adding to the conversations, mate. Yeah, the Jumbo jaws can be a little annoying for removing tenons. Since I bought the vacuum chuck, I haven't looked back. Bowl coring has become such a crucial part of my turning now. Cheers, mate.
Kez
@@KerryCorney Well, a vacuum chuck is on my shopping list and also far more useful for me than investing on coring systems. Also I have a toaster oven on my list and a vacuum chamber for stabilizing wood, so that investment is quite a bit but the combo makes sense altogether.
I would be very interested on videos about how you use the vacuum chuck. Demonstrations and reviews on that subject are hard to find. Also what to look for when buying one. And there seems to be a wide range of pressure, as resin casting requires less vacuum than wood stabilization and a less robust chamber. What to look for when buying. How much vac is needed for the chuck, does it depend on circumstances, lathe, type of project, etc. The stockist provides help if you inquire, but nevertheless that subject is not widely discussed.
PS Me a lady, not a mate! 😀 Cheers.
Sounds like a great idea. Consider it done!@@MelkeinMaalla
An oscillating saw cuts the nubs off perfectly
Nice one! I’m glad you have found your way of doing things. Would be quicker than a hand saw I guess too👌😎
What size chuck is it that you use with the largest jaws. Cheers Kerry
Thanks for asking Allan it is a Vicmarc VM100. Hope that helps👌
Hello Kerry thanks for your reply but I mean how far will the jaws open I know it’s a lot larger than any of mine
By Record. Was your father a pro turner? So you inherited the lathe. One of the best lathes on the market.
Thanks Kerry keep safe mate
Why no consideration to a longworth style chuck? Way easier and more accurate to center the bowl.
Hi James, thanks for your comment. This has been answered further down in the comments. Thank you.
