Thank you to you and the group for your kind words regarding the site. In
answer to your question regarding the glue block, I do it that way partly
out of habit and because it works so well. It also eliminates the need for a
scroll chuck which is an unnecessary expense although a nice one. These are
also a good seller for me at Craft Fairs so I like turn them by the dozen
and have them ready on glue blocks to put on and off the lathe. I know, they
could be done with the chuck as well, but really, I think of blocks and face
plates before a chuck. It is just what I am used to, I guess.
