Hi,
I find that one of the real challenges of woodturning apart from the dreaded
catch is how to hold things. I have been thinking about buying the flat
Oneway jaws that allow you to screw on pieces of wood to create your own
special jaws.

If you went this route, do you consider it money well spent?

Thanks,
billh

I don't know, Bill.. but hope this thread helps us both..

I've got the jumbo jaws and have "almost" bought the flat jaws several times to
play with making jaw sets...
I keep visualizing something like a bowl shaped piece like you'd use for a jam
chuck, cut in 4 quarters and used on the flat jaws to expand inside the work..
