I just start between centers and then proceed pretty much as you did here. I don’t think I’d be comfortable jamming onto the face of the jaws - but hey, everyone has their own way of doing things and they all pretty much work.
This was excellent. I always enjoy learning a new technique. I like the bead on the inside rim. I have done that and it dresses up the platter. Thanks for sharing.
This is such a good idea. I’ve since seen lots of folks on TH-cam using glue blocks when they really don’t need to! 😊 I used this technique a few days ago and it worked really well, thank you.
Great alternative to a woodscrew on a narrow blank. Thanks for that Steve, succinct explanation and expertly presented. From a new turner in 'Lockdown' across the pond. Cheers buddy.
A really useful alternative holding method Steve, well explained and demonstrated. Nice shape to the platter as well. Good to see you back my friend. Take care Mike
I saw Ketih Gotschall using this technique to squish the piece between the chuck and the tailstock. He opened up the jaws of the chuck to spread out the surface area and create a more stable platform. It seemed to work really well. The piece looks great - looking forward to more. -Todd
Good to see you back! I still like using the worm screw on thinner blanks...just use shims as needed to minimize drilling depth. This is a good option though. Thanks for sharing!
Another nice instructional video. I turn on the same lathe and either yours is brand new or I I have chipped off a lot of paint with bad turning. It certainly looks new.
Thank you for this video, I have some .75 inch blanks I will use this on. Hey, why do a recessed tenon on the first side instead of just a mortise on both sides?
I've enjoyed watching some of your videos. I'm a retired home builder who just started turning, and of course I have become addicted. I am upgrading from my from my 10" x 32" extended mini lathe and wondered which Jet lathe you have. I have been looking at the jet 1642EVS 1.5 hp I would interested in your comments. Thanks Joe Porter
+Joe Porter That's the lathe I have, Joe. I went with the 1.5hp because I didn't want to have to upgrade the power in my garage to 220v. I love the lathe. I've never had any trouble with it, and it works great for everything I've done. Of course, if money were no object, there are a few lathes I still covet!
This is a very useful and well explained video. I would subscribe but it appears you are no longer active. Our loss. I will be using your great idea though.
Sorry, pressed the wrong key. Would it be a little safer to TBC the blank using a crown wheel or something similar? Just an observation. Good idea, thanks
Very nicely done, Steve. Thank you for all of your demonstrations using carbide tools. Can you recommend a source for the cupped cutters? I have been using the basic EWTools, and I have made a few of my own with cutters from Captain Eddie, but I'd like to start working with the cupped cutters after seeing your demonstrations. Just by looking at the configuration of the cupped cutter on the tool, it seems as though making my own will be beyond my skill set, so I think I'll be looking to purchase a complete tool. Any suggestions would be appreciated. And thanks again for your excellent demonstrations.
A very well demonstrated alternative method for he initial holding of a platter.
Thanks

Good to see you turning again Steve. Good bit of information. Thanks for sharing, Fred

Glad to see you ! I use a 1 1/2" forstner bit which become the inside .

I like that method and I like the bead on top.
I tried your technique, and it worked out great. Thanks for sharing.
Very, very nice! 👍👍good job, my man! 👌👌

+The Walnut Log Studio That's what I have done as well. I made about 3 spacer disks using hardboard that allows me to adjust depth as needed.
+The Walnut Log Studio I do the same and it seems to work great as long as the piece being turned isn't too
large or out of round/balnce.
I've just found your channel. I really appreciate you demonstrations.
Well done and thank you. ANother good idea. Would it be a little safer to turn the piece between centres
Another nice instructional video. I turn on the same lathe and either yours is brand new or I I have chipped off a lot of paint with bad turning. It certainly looks new.
Emory H Thanks. I actually touch up the paint now and then to try to keep it looking nice. I got a can of it from Jet.
Nice looking platter!

Nicely done Steve, looks good mate,
Cheers Harry
That's a really cool idea. thanks

How deep do you make your recess? What a great idea!

Very useful tip
Good teacher 👍👍
How much smaller machine
I learned something new!
I like the shape
Ummmm..... how about just putting it between centers? No fuss. No muss.
I wouldn't call that a platter, or even a small platter. That's a small plate!
Skookum!
