Patriarch,
launcher of three bowl blanks last night, before retiring to study
methods.
again.

Pin chuck!


Well, that makes more sense than the Nova Midi2, dovetail method. I blew
out two dovetailed bases with a heavy catch. Pretty certain that it was
operator error, and using too big a gouge on a modest sized bowl. I got a
load of 'iffy' walnut, and it's not as forgiving as some of the other woods
I've used. Lost one to ring shake, too. At least that one wasn't my
fault, and I had the sense to throw it in the 'interesting firewood' bin.
