If you don't have a pin vise and can't find one local, give me a shout and
I'll have SWMBO bring one down.

Thanks for the offer Lobby. Woodcraft sells a pin chuck for $10 and a
set of #80-#60 (IIRC) drills for $5. I'll probably just swing by there
on Saturday and get them for my own tool drawer. This isn't the first
time I could have used it/them and certainly won't be the last.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.
