Hi Bill

Thanks, glad it helped you Bill.

The reason I worked on both sides of the bowl was to show that the
woodwurm screw and Oneway chuck holds enough to even turn on the wrong
side of the bowl, (wrong side meaning, on the side that would turn the
blank/bowl off of the screw if the bowl was stopped while the lathe is
turning).

Yes my lathe (is a metal turning lathe also) and most higher end lathes
are reversible.

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.
