3-Jaw Chuck, Shop Built  Three-jaw chucks are useful when turning small pieces at low speed, and permits multi-axis turning. This shop-made chuck can be made from scraps of maple and a few machine screws. Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: American Woodworker | Fix Link?

Chisel Holder  It helps to have a chisel holder when you are working on a lathe. Most Woodturners like to change chisels frequently, and it is a real timesaver to have them handy. Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: Shopsmith | Fix Link?

Chuck for Reverse Turnings, Centering Turning  Donut chucks and cole jaws have both been around for a long time. I decided to combine them to make a new version of a donut chuck that centers the turning. Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: TurnedWood | Fix Link?

Chuck, All Wood Collet  An earlier article in More Woodturning on turning wine stoppers got me thinking about collet chucks. I wondered if I could make one entirely out of wood. I thought this would be just an exercise to see if I could do it, but it surprised me with its usefulness. Although the All Wood Collet Chuck does not have the holding power and range of wooden jaws mounted in a scroll chuck, it does have adequate power for turning tops, wine stoppers, and the odd bit of dowel.

Jig, Bottle Stopper  This is my solution to turning bottle stoppers. It originally appeared as an article in More Woodturning a couple years ago... Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: Kevin Miller | Fix Link?

Jig, Parallax (PDF)  After rejecting a couple of ideas about how to project a pattern onto the work while turning, I came up with this idea - make a jig to hold two copies if the plans, one cut along the finished contours and the other uncut, so that you can use the parallax effect to line up your eye correctly with the plans.

Jig, Sharpening - Lathe Gouge tool  By Joe in a Cleveland Suburb - A couple of weeks ago I asked about making your own sharpening jig. You all pointed me to several resources. I put all that together and came up with this version. All I did was take scrap pieces of walnut, a couple cherry plywood shorts, and some scrap poplar, glued and screwed it all together and here it is! (Not dimensions, and little instruction, but there are good pictures. Enough info to help you make your own.) Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: WoodCentral | Fix Link?

Lathe Duplicator Rig  by Ken Grunke - Inspired by Don Derrys adaption of Marco Beraras design, which Don posted in the WoW File Cabinet on Jan. 28, 2007. After seeing that rig, my version was hastily cobbled together using spare parts from my scrap bins. Easily put together using salvaged/found parts, or purchased off the shelf.

Lathe Index Wheel  This is one method for making an Index wheel. There are many other ways. This one is for a Jet mini lathe. It goes between the handwheel and the headstock. I use plastic sheeting that I get from the scrap bin of my local sign shop. Link Type: free plans | Wood Source: WoodCentral | Fix Link?

Lathe Pole - and Shave Horse Design (PDF)  I have been using these designs for about 3 years regularly at shows so they have stood the test of time as portable units, easily fitting into a car or small trailer along with tools, stock and wood.

Lathe Threading Jig  by Al Crandall - Turners frequently have a need for shop made jigs or fixtures designed to thread onto the spindle of their lathe. While 1 inches-8 and 1-1/8 inches-8 are probably the most common diameter/pitch combinations, they are not sizes stocked at the local big box. It is often easier and certainly quicker...

Lathe with Ballast Box and Trestle Legs  About a month ago, I picked up a Jet 1642 EVS 1 1/2 HP lathe. Since I am primarily a bowl turner, I wanted to raise the lathe up to a more comfortable height. And while the Jet 1642 does weigh 435 lbs by itself, (IMHO) a ballast box for adding some weight would only improve its performance. Information is copyright of its respective owners.

Lathe, Flywheel  I wanted a lathe that was portable (which flywheel lathes traditionally are not) and used a minimum of modern fasteners. Simple lap joints and wooden bolts provide a somewhat less rigid frame, but it is lightweight and easily knocks down flat for storage or transportation.
