Beginner's Question
I know this is probably a super easy question but......
How can I hold a hollow wooden cyclinder at the tailstock end of the lathe. Should I turn some kind of plug first to insert into the cylinder and then press the tailstock against the plug? And if so, how do you create the friction needed so that the two pieces won't spin against each other..... -TIA |

I would be inclined to turn a piece of scrap wood (even MDF will do)
to fit inside the cylinder - turn the wood with a lip to go against the end of the cyclinder so it doesn't move inside the cylinder as you apply tail stock pressure.
