I got everything except how you center the work.


Sounds to me like he's talking about a dowel center:

....or something similar. Drop one into the center hole in the chuck, then
let the chuck jaws center the workpiece over the point. Tap on the opposite
end of the workpiece to mark the center. Reverse the workpiece and repeat.
