Thanks for that link to your web page I found the pictures an excellent
explanation of how to use the screw. What I don't understand from the
pictures is how you work on both sides of the bowl. Question is why both
sides and is the direction of your lathe reversible, if not can't understand
how you turn.

Hi George

Maybe you should have a look at my photo album, it will show that a
woodwurm screw can be used, fast, safely, even without a tailstock, and
no, my woodwurm screw that I have used for several years does not show any
rust, maybe your pin chuck does rust, not my woodwurm I can assure you.
Also one does not need 2 or more inches of depth to use a woodwurm, 3/4"
will do just fine, no lost rusty nails either, or do you use stainless
steel pins for them ??

Woodworm screw is one way of starting smaller stuff. No substitute in my
mind for the security of a pin chuck. Or the convenience of pin jaws.
Also has a tendency to rust up badly unless it's stainless, causing some
problems in removal.
