Early Access Video: Turn a bowl without a chuck (Patreon)

Friends: 

I often get frustrated with all the useless gear that hardware companies try to sell us. And while I wouldn't call a woodturning chuck "useless," it's certainly a convenience tool rather than a necessity. 

I've also noticed that more and more turners are under the impression that you can ONLY do bowls and hollow-forms with a chuck. That's just crazy. Chucks for wood-turning are pretty new and bowls have been turned for CENTURIES. So, here's a nice little video where I show how to turn a complete bowl with no chuck. 

It's always the same with me: buy fewer tools, do more work, save money for beer. 

Hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start!
