Pretty sure this is too old for you to see my comment, but just in case: Novice turner here & I really admire your skill & your work. I've got carbides and pretty sure they have their place- but I started with traditional tools. Your instruction on correct tool use & turning techniques are invaluable. Thanks so much for all you've done for the turning community.
Wow, thank you!
Great video Mike! I like the shape of that scoop handle. I've never seen a donut chuck before. Very cool!
Some turners use larger donut chucks for reversing bowls to finish off the bottom.
Thanks for showing the tool working. Most videos don't show how the tool is actually cutting. Great video!
I appreciate your comment.
Cool project! nice chuck!thanks for sharing this tutorial!
I know the video is a few years old now Mike, but I have been subscribed for a few months. I am learning a lot from you. I am about to attemt a scoop. I do like the tip about the PVC round as a guide, but it made me smile when you said you had a high spot and needed to remove the 'Corner'. Big thanks mike
Love the Donut Chuck. Made one today. Way better than the jig I had made for my first coffee scoop. I added a layer of plywood about 9 inch diameter on the headstock side to warn/protect from going too close to the handle of the scoop. Wish I could upload a pic. Tomorrow I start turning some scoops.
Sounds great!
great video mike,,,i made me a coffee scoop today and made your jig,,,had a little trouble with the jig but its coming along,,to hollow it out I removed one jaw from my chuck and it held it good,,but of course there was an indention in the wood from the jaws,,i was sanding it out then got an idea,,i put burn marks on it where the wood was indented,,never knew it was on the chuck,,thanks ever so much,,love your videos,,lol,,that's how I get educated,,lol
Keep working on the jig if you plan on doing many of these. It is worth it.
another great video, Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Nice piece mike. I've been wood turning for a little less then a yr now. I think this will be a great project for this weekend.
hey Mike I made a jig for the coffee scoop and it works great. I really enjoy your videos and thanks for sharing your work.
+MANUEL GARZA
Thanks for your comment! Glad it was useful.
Hi Mike, I tried this after watching your video and it worked perfect for me. Everyone's been impressed. Great description in the video.
Thanks, Alan.
Great tutorial, Mike! Those coffee scoops look wonderful. Love the chuck but it does make me nervous with that "invisible" handle spinning around. Just have to remember it's there and work accordingly -LOL
You can do it! Just keep all parts of your hand on the right side of the tool rest.
Good morning Mike. I have attempted a scoop with my first donut chuck. It is a scoop to be sure but there is lots of room for improvement on both the scoop and the chuck. If I can figure out how to post a pic I will. Thank you for your instruction and efforts. Have an amazing day.
Excellent!
I can't wait to give this a try!
Good luck with it! Safe turning.
I like the idea of the donut chuck, seems safer than the spigot chuck I'm currently using for coffee scoops. I suppose a larger diameter front plate could be added as a barrier to the spinning handle for safety & comfort while turning..
There are other ways of holding including jam chucks and wooden jaws. It took a couple of hours to make the donut but I have turned a lot of these since then as I probably made it 8 years ago.
Really nice work Mike. I enjoyed your tutorial including the doughnut chuck. It was nice meeting you at the symposium today.
Stephen Ogle Likewise. If you are over my way, stop by for a shop visit.
I appreciate you taking the time to inspire all of us! Thanks.
Lockhart Noise Company I appreciate your comment!
great video learning a lot from your videos
Hardly a beginners guide nice blue shirt! Camera opposite would have helped
I love it thank you so much you are my turning teacher again thank you
Very nice Mike !
Many thanks!
I am really enjoying your videos Mike. Thank you so much for sharing your skills. You are doing a great job and have been very helpful as I am hooked on turning now for a little over a year. I'm following your build on this donut chuck and would like a clarification on the 1 1/2" hole in the donut. Does that 1 1/2" go straight thru to the backplate - plus the round over? That would mean that the 1 1/2 is the stop on the 1 3/4" ball. Yes? So, if I wanted to make the scoop diameter 2" OD, what would your recommendation be for the donut hole? I am thinking 1 5/8 or 1 3/4. Would greatly appreciate your feedback comment if you have time. Thanks again
That sounds right. Did you download the article I wrote on making the donut chuck? The link is in the video description.
Hi Mike
Loved the video, which has inspired me to try this project. Will let you k ow how I get on.
Regards Nick ... Peace (great name)
+Nick Peace Good luck with it, Nick, my brother from another mother!
Hey Mike, I'm learning lots from all of your videos. A note on safety shouldn't you remove your ring before working on the lathe or any rotating machinery. I want to keep you healthy so you can teach me more from your videos. Keep up the good work! Thanks again
+oljswartz Possible? Of course. People have to make a personal choice on how far they go. Personally, I see little risk to me based on my turning style and projects of getting my ring crushed and losing a finger. I weigh the risks of sticking the ring in a pocket with a hole in it and losing it. Or leaving it in a safe place in my shop and forgetting to put it on. Do what is right for you.
Yes I did. Thanks again. Couldn’t I use a 1 5/8” Forster bit and then just round the donut hole?
Not the way I would do it. I see no advantage of doing it your way. It may not give you a rounde hole that will maximize contact with the ball Since you will a cylindrical wall.
would it work to add a piece/ flag od blue tape to the end of the handle to make it more visable while in the donut chuck? looking forward to trying this project

Sure, not a bad idea. I just have not seen a need to.
Couldn't you put the bowl on a drill press while its in the doughnut and make the initial scoop hole with a large drill bit? Or for that matter couldn't you just drill it on the lathe itself with your drill attachment? It makes me wonder if a fine hole saw bit would work also.
Try it one time and see if you would be happy. I think not. It is not that difficult hollowing.
mike making the sphere like you do is a hit and miss with me,,lol,,been thinking about getting a sphere jig,,,,the chefware brand,,,
That would work. The more you practice turning a ball the better you get. I have probably done a thousand angel ornaments which involves turning a sphere for a head. ua-cam.com/video/QTtQB6Jly_8/v-deo.html
I'd Use A Spade Bit & A Cordless Drill.
I know I'm late on this one but a great Video and a lovely design!
Thanks, Andy.
I got an email requesting more information about the calipers I was using. Here was my response:
I made my calipers from music wire from a hobby shop. It is the same kind of wire I used for making the shafts of my awls in my awl making video. The diameter is probably not critical. It is probably about 1/8". It is springy but retains its shape once formed, something that coat hanger wire for example won't do. It fits into the scoop and you feel how snug it is. The goal is to form a shape that will fit into a scoop and the legs will be about the distance to just fit the final inside dimension with little friction. Too much friction and you have to hollow some more.
Have you considered using a 1 1/4 inch forstner bit to drill your pilot hole into your measuring scoop?
No. I see no advantage as you still have to clean up the bottom where the bit left a hole as well as thin the walls to a uniform thickness for appearance. I do not see the drill bit saving time. But that is me. If it works for you, great.
Great Video . do you have specs on how to make that little donut ? also anymore info on the ring tool you made ?? thank you !
+Jason W
Info on making the chuck is in an article I wrote for American Woodturner that you can download on my website under Resources. Info on making the ring tool is in the video series Small Round Lathe Tools.
+Mike Peace THank you very much ! Ill have to watch the end again to get the donut chuck made. it was helpful to see how you made it . Now i just need a list of parts.your videos are very helpful. I have just been turning for a year now. So I am still leaning and videos like your are very helpful. Keep up the Great work !
gute video, Danke.
My latest video on how to turn a one piece coffee scoop.
Watching July 2018
S a l o m o n sliman larach good dezayner 10.10
Do you still have the directions for making the donut chuck? I tried looking it up but couldn't find it.
I just corrected the link on the video to open up the article instead of a link to the list of my articles including the one with the details.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning thanks!
How much coffee does this scoop hold? Approximately.
3 scoops is 9 cups of coffee at my taste. So maybe 3 tablespoons. It doesn't make any difference since everyone makes coffee differently and your scoop szie might be diffrent from mine. ONly needs calibrating once.
oh come on you had that all marked out for centers lmao . like your trick there . also i also have a 3520b powermatic . i got a clicking noise they told me how to fix it but the guy could not tell me witch one to loosen first then tighten the other one first . it was 5 o clock there time so seems he just wanted to get off the phone if you have had this problem if you could tell me what you did would be happy

thank you
Love the energy, the level of information, and well, everything but the camera angle... may I suggest a taller tripod? Not trolling, or being hateful. I loved watching you work, your shoulder, not so much. A taller tripod, or something equivalent would solve the issue.
Thanks for your feedback on an 8 year old video. Maybe some feedback on something more recent?
Hey mike sup I’m a Neenee but got good Equipment but I’m starting a company called Pot Box Bobs I live in I’ll it’s legal now gonna use that to make pipes oh by the way it’s always Legal to me
Really great video, enjoyed watching you cut the ring loose. Slight frustration at not being able too see some of it due to the camera placement(great shirt though!:))
La caméra n'est pas au bon endroit...merci pour le vidéo
Oui. Merci
cameraon wrong side of wood
Thanks for sharing your insight on one of my earlier videos.
Why film if you stand in the way?
I'm sorry for a negative comment, but twice, at the important bits...all we could see was the back of your shirt.
I guess I just need to fire my videographer! Seriously, thanks for the feedback. It helps me to improve my technique.
That's OK, Mike...as I say, it was just at 'the important bits'...a bit like when advertising comes on during the football.
I like your turning, and your style...I'm subscribed...
28:40 to 29:40 - the footage of the back of your shirt, should probably be removed.
Thanks for your feedback.
Ben Setliff WITH AS GOOD AS MIKES VIDEOS ARE AND AS MUCH AS HE TEACHES NO ONE BUT YOU SEEMS TO CARE!!! THANK YOU AGAIN MIKE!!!
ok video, pity all we got when you was drilling the bowl was a close up of your blue shirt for most of it
I guess you noticed this video is 4 years old, one of my earlier ones. I think I have gotten better at it but still occasionally miss a bad camera angle. I guess you get what you pay for. Thanks for commenting.
