Having a form cover the chuck key area is a real pain when it happens.


I don't understand this one... If the form covers the key area, how would it
get
into the chuck at all?
Maybe I'm missing something here, but I've never put anything in the chuck
and
not been able to reach the key hole...

If I had, I don't think I'd turn it as is, I'd add a glue block or
something..
I have to be reading or visualizing the problem incorrectly..


When I'm working on a bowl held with a tenon at the base, I'll shape the
outside, then begin hollowing the inside. If my design changes or I'd
like to shift things a bit, I'll find a new axis and in the process put
a tenon inside the bowl to be able to reshape and re-tenon the outside
bottom.

Doesn't happen very often.
