<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a great way to turn plates, platters on
the lathe and save the large expense for a chuck.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Attach a round wooden disc (3" diameter, 1.5" thick
or so) to your faceplate. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Flatten the outer flat surface using your
lathe.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Rough cut the plate blank you wish to
turn.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using white or yellow glue, attach the plate blank
to the wooden disc on your faceplate sandwiching a piece of brown paper bag
between your plate and the wooden disc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After turning the plate use a chisel to separate
the plate from the disc. The brown paper bag allows for easy separation. Scrape
and sand smooth.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For small plates, try hot glue to cut down on the
wait time for your glue to dry.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For turning an occasional plate, this is another
option. </FONT></DIV>

<P>Hi Pat,</P>
<P>I guess my first place to start would be are you wanting to do platters for
chip carving? If answer is yes than you want to think about a chuck that holds
a tenon that is easier to sand off than the other way which is where the chuck
jaws set on the inside edge of a recess not usually seen on platters that are
chip carved. Then you have to decide how much money you want to spend cause
you can get some that are very reasonable but take a little extra work to get
them on the wood correctly (some you need to grow about 8 hands), others just
one hand but they all range in price. That is why I suggested looking at the
national website for a chapter(club) that might be close to you.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>But watch out cause if you think carving is addictive, the lathe is worse
trust me, the husband says I could be gone for years and never know how long I
have been gone lol.</P>
