- Having a Chuck for your lathe opens up a huge amount of possibilities. But it isn't as simple as ordering one on Amazon. What you get and how you use it can influence how safely you accomplish tasks and what you are able to make.

I'm a retired carpenter. I've used almost every tool known but never used a lathe. I recently bought one and I'm still working on getting it together along with the chucks and gouges I need. I have watched your videos for quite some time. I find them to be very informative. Never boring. You young fella are a very good teacher. Soon I'll do my first turning. Hopefully with your videos, I'll do ok. Thank you for the videos.
The first time my chuck spun off the lathe when I turned it off, it scared the life out of me. My new chuck has the retaining pin, and I'd never use one without it again, very good thing to point out. Thanks for the detailed explanation on sizing the tenon to the jaws, I had no idea.
Retired contractor and cabinet maker with My own cabinet shop I'm pushing 70 and just bought my first chuck and turned a natural edge cherry burl bowl with it I've done literally hundreds of them and other bowl's now I'm wondering why did i wait so long no more o!d school for now on well maybe that is!!! Great video at 70 year's o!d you taught this old 🐕 new tricks!!!👍
I got my little WEN 12x18 5-speed for christmas 2020. Every night when i get home from work i turn something until supper time... which has been getting later and later. I am very thankful for you making these videos. I watch & learn while I'm at work and then go home and practice. I have a pile of bowls that are drying sho i can twice turn them in a year or so. I've made dozens of boxes, thanks to your videos. Thank you, -Ben from NC
MA MAN !!! I sure wish I lived closer to you. You're a very good teacher !! I consider myself PARTIALLY schooled ....... at 70 years young.... lol !! I LOVE turning and can learn SOOOO much from you. Thank You !! Stay safe !!
Thanks! I was having some problems with my first chuck purchase. This helped me figure it out!
Absolutely superb video. The whiteboard session with the magic marker being spun as a symbolic tree is the best I've ever seen.
Absolutely excellent video - your common sense explanations take the mystery out of it and not only make us better turners but protect us as well - hats off to you!
Best teacher ever ! And like every teacher you have a Achilles heel :drawing! I laughed so hard at the olive bowl drawing that I had to register what you said!( got my punishment! ) keep the good work,you are my best source of woodworking knowledge.,thanks.
As a semi seasoned turner, I find watching these types of videos a great way to confirm I'm doing it correctly as well as learning a few more tricks and techniques to hone my craft even further
Thank you so much
Thanks
Great video and excellent presentation. I'm a new turner at 67 years old and been turning for less than a year. Yesterday I was watching another turner and realized I didn't know when and why you would use a tenon or recess (or even if there was a difference between the two) and this morning I found this video that answered all my questions. Thanks!
Thank for doing this. THIS video explains all the ins and outs of chucks and various jaws. Great job from a newbie woodturner in NE Texas!!
I'm a complete novice to woodturning and the use of a lathe. I'm sure glad to have run into your presentation, finding every portion of this video to be necessary for me to learn the safe and sane procedure of woodturning. Thank you
I hope to get a lathe at some point, and this was some great information. And the "don't just call me an idiot tell me why I'm an idiot" was awesome 🌟
Thanks
You are remarkably thorough. You’ve got a lot of information crammed in that noggin of yours; thank you for sharing it. I hope I remember a fraction of this.
Very god and informative
Really really useful video, Your drawings made thing so clear. thanks very much,
Just sent off for a Record SC4 chuck and spur, have been using a very old Record Power chuck with separate inside/outside jaws which is a bit hit or miss. Very little "used" stuff on the UK market. sadly
Glad I'm not the only one who "blows out" the bottom of bowls!
thank you, the best chucky video i've so far found. I am thinking of buying the Charnwood Viper2 1'' for my 440mm lathe. UK
Thank you so much. I am new and wanted to know when to use a recess vs a tenon. You broke it down to where I went, "Oohh, that's why". The light goes on kind of moment.
Thanks
My light is kinda dim these days.. Lol
Just found this video. Thank you soooo much. This is one of the most informative and well done videos for a new wood turner I have seen. Truly worth the effort to watch it.
I recently bought a chuck set and was looking for a video explaining when to use the various types of jaws. I am happy to say I found a great one when I found this one. Thanks for explaining the methods in an entertaining but informative way. I can't wait to get out to the shop to try these tips out. This was great!!
Great video. I like your honesty and plain directions, you show mistakes you have made and not that air of I’m perfect and never make a mistake. Thanks
I love the sentence "Don't just call me an idiot, tell me why I'm an idiot." It really conveys a lot about your mentality towards learning
Nova by Teknatool were the first manufacturers of woodlathe chucks. Along with Vicmarc. They also manufacture, excellent chunks of various sizes including jaws that are 130 mm which is larger than your 4 inches. I have used both Vicmarc and Nova chucks and find them to be of equal quality. Nova chucks would be some of the best chucks with one of the largest ranges of jaws and inserts available on the market.
Good timing for me as my bowl today had a tenon and I was wishing I had a recess - nova G3 dove tail - but after your video I'm glad I did the tenon
Your teaching skills clearly transfer over to woodworking! Clearly articulated information presented in a logical way. Love the channel.
I wanted to thank you so much for your video I am just starting to turn I have a very old lathe that was given to me and your information is priceless. Thanks once again
Sir when you do a video you always pack alot of your knowledge and experience and informative information into everyone. Being new to wood turning that is why became a subscribe.
I have a novatec g3 Chuck. It's a great Chuck for the size lathe I have. It opens up a whole world in design ideas. I have a Longworth Chuck for turning off the tenon. A friend had it made on a CNC machine.
Thank you so much for this, your ability to own your mistakes and explain the why what and where of it in such detail with safety in mind is truly exceptional...
Excellent video. Thank you. Just purchased a Talon Oneway Scroll Chuck Kit for my old Rockwell after watching this. Thumbs up!
Thank you for your vids! The help answer some of my questions, the rest I haven't thought of ye. I'm not new to turning, I just haven't put that much into it. I turned my first piece in my 6th grade woodshop. The idea was to make a wine bottle shaped lamp. I got close. All I was given was a roughing gouge. (took me 2 weeks). A friend loaned me a small vintage lathe with a 2 step pulley I added a motor and a belt. It has oiling ports on each end of the axles. Now I have a HF special 14 x 36 and it works well enough. I'm not happy with the motor being out front like it is. That cuts down the width of what I can do.
Thank you for all the information. I'm new to wood turning and about to upgrade to a One-Way Tallon. I very much enjoy the wealth of knowledge that you share in your videos.
been watching you since i started teaching myself woodworking, just got into turning, and immediately began watching your cintent.
Shawn-you are an amazing educator. your content is top notch in the world of tutorials and education. NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE, does as good a job as you. I know you dont have the following youd like, but I wanted you to know that these long form videos are precious to us guys who really want to learn. it also gelps combat the attention deficit caused by social media, which is a much bigger threat to society than almost any know or are aware of. please keep doing what you do. you are up there with Paul sellers in quality and delivery. different styles, but ultimately the best knowledge.
I will probably watch this again to take notes. I finally broke down and bought a Record Power chuck and it dramatically changed my turnings. I've been trying to figure out how to expand beyond that basic chuck, what I actually need, etc. This video really helped with that.
Thanks, found this very useful. I have the One Way Talon chuck with several different jaws for several years now and learned several things about them from your video.
Thanks
I have been woodworking for a very long time but have never owned a lathe. I am now going to buy one and your videos have been incredibly helpful to me. Thank you for doing them.
Welcome down the rabbit hole.
You (as usual ) answered a lot of my ?'s. New at turning and having fun! Much Thanks
Fred Buonocore
Subscribed and watched more than a handful of your videos. I can easily say that you are an incredible teacher and I wholeheartedly
appreciate your channel. I watch a lot of DIY and instructional videos. I can't think of anyone better! Keep it going!!!
This video was very helpful as I am restarting (better health) to woodturner again. As with the video on the tools this one was like I’ve never been used a chuck before. The benefit of U Tube I can always watch your videos again. Thank you so much for refreshing my old brain. Will keep watching your informative videos in mind if I have a brain f-t.Haha!
Great video!
I'm a beginner in woodturning, and up until this video I would just be making a tenon any size for the chuck I have laying around. I never thought of when to use a tenon or a recess or to even measure the width of my jaws. I also have a quite inexpensive chuck, of which some screws already start to wobble sometimes. I think I might take your advice and start looking around for a better one.
Also, besides this video, your videos are the ones I always come to for tips, because they're so full of in depth information! I love your channel, and I'm sure I'll learn lots more by following along!
Thank you for taking time to show us all this!
Jonas
Thanks
Great stuff! Lots to learn. I’m sure I will watch this multiple times. Excellent instruction. THANKS‼️
Thanks
Really love the style of your videos. Thank you for this really useful info. I’m glad I found you. Gonna check out your other videos. I’m a computer person getting into woodworking as a hobby. Appreciate your efforts.
Thanks
Just getting started on all this . Of all the "fancy" woodturning guys out there our man wortheffort will give you more actual info and less BS than most . Thanks M8
Thanks
I just got my first 4-Jaw chuck for Christmas. You're providing great info for this beginning turner! Thanks!
Thanks
Big cheers and hugs from Kuwait, I've been watching your videos for a while now and i find out that you are a person who is really trying to pass his knowledge and teach from his heart. Love you brother keep it up👍🏼♥️
Thanks
I have been turning for quite a few years now (as a hobby), you have taught me a lot thanks. I have also subscribed. So thanks
Thanks
Greatly appreciate your video. I am brand new to wood turning and your video teaches me lots of things I should know about the Chuck.
Thanks
This has been one of the best and most informative video that I has watch. Thanks so much for your time and experience.👍👍
Thanks
Thank you so much, Shawn Graham, you are a natural-born teacher. One-Way all the way!
Thanks
Awesome video. I’m just starting out turning and this is super helpful!
Thanks! Why I knew I would appreciate your input on equipment is the amount of work you do. A guy making hundreds of bowls is going to know what equipment holds up.
Thanks
Lots of very useful information, especially for us that are new to the various jaw options and the reasons for them.
Good information. I always appreciate the effort you put in to teach. Obviously you have the heart of a teacher.
Thanks
I really appreciate your istructional videos. You have a way of teaching that introduces all the basics, broken down to the basic physics of what and why you do what you do. Not just how. And the way you come across, makes your viewer feeel empowered and not made to feel stupid. Iguarantee watching your videos Iam much less likely to make costly mistakes and get injured. Keep up the great work! Ilook forward to sharing with you some of my own creations you have inspired.
Thanks
Good instructional techniques. I particularly complement you on avoiding time wasting computer graphics and sticking with the tried-and-true white board. Thanks!
Really good instructional/informative info. Appreciate you making the effort to teach, not just demo. Tks
Thanks
Excellent review. Thanks for taking the time to do a superb job of it.
Thanks
Clear and concise explanations, very useful throughout.
Thanks
Thanks for the recommendation on laying out the money on key elements. That seems to be the consensus I read. Nicely presented by-the-by!
Thanks
Excellent video. You did a great job covering some complex topics as usual. I agree Oneway makes great chucks but I hate their profile jaws. The serrations tend to compress fibers on a green tenon to the extent it can create a gap between the bottom on the bowl and the jaw face causing vibration and a weaker hold. I have several Teknatool chucks and like them but am impressed with the Record Power. I love the interchangeability of all the jaws on all of the Teknatool chucks and the Record Power chucks. Great benefit.
I have no experience with those so thanks for input.
The gem for me was recess vs tenon based on grain direction. Another great video. Thx!
Thanks
Well done!! I like the approach, content and presentation. To the point and very informative. I enjoyed it.
Cheers
Frederick
Thanks
I'm going to keep my comment short and simple: great explanation, realy enjoyed this video and you are the best!
Thanks
@@wortheffort ollllllllllllllllllllllliu
hey!! thank you for sharering your knowledge. im alway watching and using your videos as reference for whatever project I'm planning.
again your greatly appreciated. stay healthy.
Thanks
The best Wood turning Chanel
Subscribed. Your videos/teaching are exceptionally good. I have learned SO MUCH from your channel.Thanks.🙂
Great stuff - thanks for taking the time to share
You are so good at teaching!
Great job and I really enjoyed your in depth look at scroll jaws. Learned a lot
Thanks
So much information for a newbie to digest. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks for the info , love your style of teaching
Excellent, thorough and very useful for a nebie entering in to the craft.
This is the best, most thorough, well thought out treatment of wood turning chucks I’ve seen to date. The only additions I wish you had were;
1) some treatment of the different chuck keys, (I seem to have been blessed with three different keys for four chucks, fortunately all my jaws are interchangeable).
2) Some comment on the new easy change jaw system from easy wood tools. I hate the time it takes to swap jaws out undoing 8 screws, changing the jaws, and redoing the eight screws. I consider myself lucky not do drop one or more of the little buggers in the shavings at my feet. (I find a couple of strong magnates help corral the little stinkers.)
Again, very nice coverage. Well done!
I can only really speak with what I own and what has been directly told me from people I trust so I don't have much other experence with others like EZ. I will say Dad gave away one of their earlier chucks so I haven't been willing to risk my money.
Thanks for taking your TIME and your EFFORT to create this very informative/educational video! WELL done sir. Liked & subscribed! 👍🤘👊🔥
Thanks
Thanks for this video. You very successfully made a somewhat mysterious/arcane topic for a newcomer very accessible. I now understand what I'm seeing when perusing the various chucks on Oneway's site. Perhaps you'd consider a video on the use cases for some of the alternative chucks (jam chucks, vacuum chucks, etc.)?
Great use of pictures to explain what you’re saying. I enjoyed the tips. 😁
Totally agree with the limitations of faceplate/center work. I know that turning has been done for centuries without a chuck but then who would want to give up their vice grip piers?
Just bought a nova g3 as my first chuck. I had to have a machinist match the threads on my lathe as the thread was totally non-standard.
Hope it wasn't a mistake...
What part can I look for to fail first?
Very impressed with information. Great job. Thank you very much.
I just bought a WEN 2.75 chuck for my WEN 3420 lathe. I bought it because it was a WEN. When it arrived it looks like it is quality built. I got it from Home Depot at a reasonable price. I am really looking forward to using it very soon. I looked at tons of chucks and felt safe getting this WEN because I am just now getting into turning. I hope I did not make a mistake.
I"m sure it's fine. WEN is usually rebadged name brand stuff.
@@wortheffort I hope so. The jaws look to be straight and smooth inside and outside. Based on this video I may need to get some different jaws.
By the way, I really enjoy your videos. You always do an excellent job of explaining things so anyone can understand. I bet you were a great teacher who is sorely missed.
Oh yeah, I admire your collection of ‘funnels’ and the courage it takes to show the off. Mine get consigned to the burn pile so I can get past “the emphatic language” stage and not feel too stupid the next time I see it. It’s to be expected I guess when you’re trying to turn a bowl with 3/16” - 1/4” wall thickness.
Every few years I take em all and turn them into clocks, lamps, wall sconces or dust collector shrouds.
For me , just getting started in turning, your video has been a wealth of information. AND thank-you for the down-to-earth presentation. The in-your-face videos tend to be really bad and hard to follow. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos.
Thanks
Great Video!!! Thanks for putting it on!
I think I prefer the heavier base that goes with the mortised attachment. They're less likely to tip over. But I'm also a fan of hot-melt gluing a scrap of plantation softwood onto the back and attaching that to the drive, and separating that off later.
Great lesson. thanks Shawn. great teacher.
The large silver jaws with black rubber knobs were known as COLE jaws with the Nova series in the 80's. I have half a dozen jaws - going to have to go and count now. Do inventory. Been into metal lately and now back to wood. Nice, I can do metal and make tools for wood... :-) I also have 4 and 5" chucks that fit. Seems that in the day of my wood lathe small metal lathes were 1x10 and so were wood. Now 1x8 is most common in wood. So I got low cost metal chucks and my wood Nova. My 4 jaw for wood and the big one on my metal lathe are independent jaws. Rectangles are easy. So are off square. It takes more time to set up so the Nova takes most of the work.
Great video for those just getting into turning using jaw chuck's.
And One thing I would like to point out. You mentioned that the jaws/accessories are usable across the three different chuck's. Any of the accessories that are made for the Oneway chuck WILL fit the Talon chuck as well, unfortunately when it comes to the Stronghold chuck only those accessories made for it will work and ONLY for it.
When it came time to purchase a chuck for the lathe club at school we got a Oneway. Fortunately or unfortunately for me the factory is just a few minutes down the road and makes my driving past it very tough. Lol
Keep up all the work you do in advancing our great hobby.
Good catch
Love your vids, I want to get into woodturning, your vids are so helpful even to those who haven't ever turned. I know I will make mistakes and hopefully live to learn from them lol. A project that I really want to make are those old fashioned nut bowls with the center spindle to hold the nutcracker, nutpicks. Would love to see you turn one of them. The fact that the bark is left on the outside of the bowl is something I have no idea how they do it without popping off pieces of bark that you don't want to lose. Just something to think about for a video maybe down the road.
Not familiar with those bowls.
Most and best information ever. Thanks
Wow,So much good information. Thanks
I watch many other WOOD TURNERS, no disrespect to them but after watching them I'm always wondering what I've learned! This is never the case with you👍😉👍and somehow you always make it more enjoyable! BIG BIG THUMBS UP👍😆👍
Thanks
I always learn a lot from your videos thanks for the help
Thanks
Interesting information regarding the serrated edges on some chucks. The only downside some experienced woodturners have mentioned about those type of jaws as opposed to smooth chuck walls is that if you need to remove the project from the jaws for whatever reason, when you reinstall the project back into the jaws, it can be very difficult, if not impossible to make the now jaw-compressed wood with the ridges reinstall back into the jaw ridge grooves since it is difficult at best to line them back up properly. The end result is that now your project (especially with softer woods) most likely will not run true since you will now have introduced wobble if the jaw ridges are not lined up properly when the project is reinstalled. Something to think about before removing the piece.
I have to say, I loved your way of explaining the reason of when to use a tenon for turning as opposed to attempting to use a recess method of holding onto the wood project being turned. Best explanation and with some good visual. Now go invest in a set of thickness gauges. They're not that expensive. Cheap insurance. Or you can take your eyes in to get them thickness calibrated. LMAO!
And I really like your tip for creating an inexpensive square headed scraper tool shaped to the chuck holding angle so that you can cut the recess for more holding power so-to-speak.
I definitely concur that care must be taken when using Cole Jaws of any size, but especially on larger bowls. For small projects, Nova's G3 Pro-Tek 1"x 8TPI Reversible Chuck Bundle set (SKU 48266) is pretty cool if you can find anyone that can keep that crazy set in stock. The set comes with 3 different holding feet (or buttons as some call them) to use depending on your bowl's shape. Of course they remind you not to go beyond 600 RPMs when using it for the reason you mentioned - only light cuts/finishing cuts should be accomplished by that point.
Your steps for setting up the chuck jaws is exactly what Nova recommends per their instructions; set them in loose, close the jaws, push them all together and tighten the screws up. Not BS. Works 99% of the time for me.
Same thing happens with smooth jaws.
Long time woodworker but I learn something every time I watch your vids. Curious how you re-turn an out of round tenon after drying a green turned bowl? Thanks for sharing.
Between centers. I have video on turning dried bowls.
Great explanations!
Great lesson, thank you! Bill
Thanks
Very informative answered a lot of my questions on chucks
Thanks
Was incredibly confused about chucks. This video helped a lot, thanks.
Thanks
Thanks for this video! It's hard to find a detailed video like this for beginning turners.
Thanks
Thank you,at last, now I understand why I’m going wrong. Back to the lathe with your knowledge.
Thank you, i learned a lot from this.
