I have to agree that a chuck is a nice addition to the turning repertoire of
tools, not necessary but very nice. If and when you get one, get a good one.
I like my One Way and recommend it, however the Nova and Vicmarc get
excellent reviews from the people who use them as well. However, do yourself
a favor and try the hot glue block as well. Like a chuck, it is not just for
bowls. I use it a lot for hollowing and assorted other things. Mostly, have
fun and play safe.
