Glen and Liza great job sharing your demo

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Glad you liked it Nicholas.

[@kevat9kcreations]

Absolutely brilliant you too. Best vid I've seen for making soft chucks. Def making some of these

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Kev. Would be nice to see some made. Happy turning.

[@peterhicks]

Well done Glenn & Lisa over 100,000 views 🎉💥🥂👍👏
Whoop, whoop well done you two - well deserved 👌

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Can’t believe over 100,000 already

[@cmh.capitalenterprises6787]

Great idea. I have been watching so many vids on making an offset pendant chuck and they have all been very much more complicated. Using double sided tape or set screws...this is much more practical.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

That's what our channel is about. Quick, easy and cheap methods.

[@michael-azzopardi]

Great demo Glenn, thanks to you and Liza you have shown us a much cheaper method to make pendants.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Glad you enjoyed it Michael and will find it helpful for you. That's what the video was for. A cheap way for everyone to have a go at making pendants.

[@JimmyLee0757]

That's about the coolest trick I've seen in a long time. Thanks for sharing this.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Jimmy. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@J-D248]

What a great idea!! I was struggling trying to figure out how to do that. Thank you! Great video!

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Hi Jason. Welcome to the channel. Glad the video helped. Happy turning. Toodle pip for now. Glenn & Liza

[@randyrockwell6136]

Very clever jaws to make the pendant turning easier! Another great video, Glenn & Liza 🤠🇨🇱

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Randy, glad you enjoyed it

[@johnderyck493]

Thank you for your excellent instruction on the making of these wood chucks for making pendants. I made these yesterday and they work great. Although I should have listened more closely to your instructions of cutting the groove straight in for the steel chuck. I made it a dovetail which does not work for this application. I was able to straighten it out and then it worked fine. When I made the second chuck with the groove it worked fine. Today I will make some pendant blanks and put them in the wood chucks and spin them. I'm glad I found you video as I have been wanting to make some pendants but did not have a method to spin them.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Glad you found it helpful.

[@paulhubbard3691]

Brilliant Glen and outstanding explanation, my granddaughter watched this with me and has now put her order in for some pendants 😂 my next challenge in waiting thanks Glen and Liza.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

That's great Paul. Send me some pics when you've done some. Would be great to see some made with the chucks.

[@gregdagg9305]

Great video, amazing simple very useful chucks to quickly batch out pendents..👍

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

It's what I have used for a few years now. They won't last forever, but when they wear out, you just make another one. Cheap as chips.

[@jonathanflynn9467]

Thank you Glenn and Liza. Very interesting complement to Marks demo which I enjoyed yesterday.
You really gave Liza a workout chasing you around the shop with her camera.
I think you should make a pair of matching earrings to go with the pendant. Maybe a complete set for her gonk

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Haha. Yeah, keeps her on her toes. We were talking about doing earrings to match. Watch out, I see another video coming! Lol

[@jonathanflynn9467]

Looking forward to it. Cheers to you both.

[@rwyse1]

Well done Glen and Lisa going to give it a go
Cheers Ray

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Ray. They work really well

[@Anilm3]

Fantastic idea Glenn, thanks for sharing and congrats on the 100k views already!

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thanks Anil. Yeah, I can't believe it.

[@MarkBeckettRPT]

Thanks for the shout out Glenn. And thanks also for watching. I like your method too.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Mark, I’ve always enjoyed your channel. Watched from when you first started.

[@MarkBeckettRPT]

Thank you so much.

[@mnp1964]

Thanks Glenn this is great .Could you put your rubber band grooves in before you cut it into 4. The rubber bands they put on lobster claws might be great for holding things together just some thoughts Blessings catch you on your next one

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Hi Wade, yes you can put the grooves in before or after. Sorry, I don't have anywhere where I can get lobsters.

[@leewinter4204]

Thanks for sharing this, going to have a go at making a set 👍

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Great. Let me know how it goes. Happy pendant turning.

[@christopherdix8320]

Hi Glenn & Liza - Another great vid by you two. I've watched it twice now and when I make mine, I think I will add some rare-earth magnets to hold each jaw part to the chuck. Then the outer elastic band might not be needed and the pendant should fall out when expanded. Also, I might drill a 6mm hole right on the pendant edge of one of the jaws so a hook could be inserted to pull the pendant out. Cheers and Happy New Years from Oregon.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Hi Christopher. Thanks for watching. Yes, adapt it however you see fit. This was just to give an idea of how you can work around the problem, on camera, off the cuff, no editing etc. Let us know how you get on.

[@peterhicks]

Well, June said I couldn’t have another chuck - can now 😮
Three elastic bands per grove, perfect (‘perish’ the thought) one should let gooo 😡
What a top instruction video series Glenn, one of your best series I’m thinking 🤔
I’ve absolutely no use for pendants but what about as Christmas tree decorations, maybe with glitter stencilled or, or a bit of pyro burning oh yes!

[@kenvasko2285]

Love it. O-rings would work instead of rubber bands.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

This method was to be able to do it as cheap as possible. Grabbing the Postman and asking for some bands costs you nothing. O rings looking at a cost for them. So many ways you can do it, I was just giving people the idea. People always complaining everything costs money. You can turn stuff for nothing. No one's ever made this chuck.

[@kenvasko2285]

@@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308 It's a great design...thanks

[@mikemercer6307]

Great idea Glen👍

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Thank you Mike 👍👍

[@andygrady]

Had some yew delivered from Snainton’s today (with an SC1 chuck 😂). Will have to give some pendants a go.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

You'll love that little chuck, it’s like a little tank.

[@coolcat9327]

For rubber bands you may be able to cut up an old inner tube.

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

I didn't have any at the time. I did mention that on another video.

[@Geoff-ix2bq]

Try asking your postie for elastic bands i got a bag full ;o)

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

Nice one. They always have some.

[@christopherharrison6724]

What type of grind do you put on your parting tool?

[@glennteagleofukwoodcraftca5308]

I make them from Carbide Saw Blades.
