would you go about using a spindle gouge for bowls?
when using the kelton coring system how do you mount the inner bowls to
the lathes? is a faceplate and glued wasteblock the only option? how do
you finish the foot afterwards? otherways besides a doughnut chuck,
vaccuum chuck or jumbo jaws.

I start my bowls with a worm screw, cut a tenon in the bottom and reverse it, so
that the hole from the screw is in the middle of the blank when it's reversed...
(the tenon held in the chuck)

I core the outer bowl, remount the blank on the worm screw using the same (now
threaded) hole, and turn a tenon on the bottom..

Repeat as necessary...

For a REAL answer, ask Robohippy... he's the coring expert and is very good at
explaining the system..
