Simple Way Of Making Cole Jaws For My Lathe

  • After making a segmented bowl, I realized that I now need a set of Cole Jaws to be able to easily finish off the bottom of the bowls that I will be making. Instead of buying them, I decided to make my own. There is a little bit of calibrating and adjustments to do on them, but it works exceptionally well.

    There's nothing like the satisfaction we get for making our own tools and equipment. I'm 76 years old and I still enjoy doing things like that great job on Nicole Joe's. keep it up and I hope your channel grows. Thanks for the video.

      Thank you so much! It is truly a pleasure to make my own tools and jigs. It just adds a lot more satisfaction to the work piece. I'm very glad that you still enjoy doing things at your age. You got a lot of living left to do. Thank you again for watching!

    Brilliant idea, especially to use those rubber stoppers with the angle that gives you the perfert holder mechanism for wood, especially wood with a finish on it already. Great job. Subscribed.

      Thank you so much! I have used it on another project that I am working on editing the video for. It works so nicely, and is easy on the finish. I end up putting a paper towel on the face of the bowl until I can remember to stop and get some felt strips for the face.

    Real nice job but you should have counter sunk the mounting holes for the chuck & bolt the bumpers to the jaws from the other side, that would "pull" the T-bolts into the jaws & the wood on the other side wouldn't have any exposed metal.

      My first thought, T nuts on the other side. Great job, thanks for that.

      You're very welcome Rick! They are relatively easy to make. Just have to get it calibrated correctly, and these jaws work great.

    To bore holes in the rubber stoppers, try installing them in the Morse taper socket of the lathe spindle, and chuck the bit in the tailstock.

    I watched this whole thing and not 1 lost digit? Lame. Lol. I love the math involved!

      Thank you! It may sound weird, but I love math and problem solving. Yep, not a single lost digit, lol. Losing a finger isn't at the top of my list of priorities, haha.

      Yeah, You don't want to get blood on your tool table tops. It leaves a nasty stain and corroded spot.@@themarblemountaincraftsman8029

    Will this also work for interior compression of staves? Seems logical to me, but I've never tried one of these.

    Nice job! You have inspired me to make my own. Is there a reason you did not set your bumpers on the other side? There would be even less of a chance of them moving under use that way. Do you still intend to put felt on it? I also noticed you use MDF. Did you consider any other material?

    • @themarblemountaincraftsman8029
      @themarblemountaincraftsman8029  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm glad you liked it, and I'm so glad I was able to inspire you to make your own. To answer your questions:
      1. I started to mark on the plastic laminate side with a pencil, but it just smears off, which is by design to be able to clean a countertop more easily. I tried a pen, and the same thing happened, so I just flipped it over. I figured that out when I was drawing the lines from corner to corner in the very start of making this.
      2. I do still intend on putting felt on it, but I think I'll do some tapered strips between the bumpers. That's the next upgrade to it to finish it completely.
      3. It's 3/4" thick MDF from an old countertop that I had been saving to do something with, but didn't know what (I'm good at hoarding wood like that). I thought about using plywood, but the particle board for countertops is very rigid, no flex at higher speeds, and there is no movement when it comes to temperature. It's made to kinda be abused for countertops.

    Sky raisins?

    • @themarblemountaincraftsman8029
      @themarblemountaincraftsman8029  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh, yes, lol. My dog likes to chase little bugs that fly around. We call them "sky raisins" because she eats them if she can catch one. I guess to her they are a flying treat.

    Why didn't you make it so that you bolted through from the other side ,then you wouldn't have to screw the bolts in so far and they would be more secure as they would be pulling the T nuts into the wood ! Other than that a really great idea 👍👍🔨🔨

    Did you ever figure out what caused 'the hop'?

    • @themarblemountaincraftsman8029
      @themarblemountaincraftsman8029  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes I did. With the holders being rubber, I have to be careful with how hard I tighten them down, because the rubber will squeeze out distorting the shape and push the bowl off center. With a little bit of messing around, I was able to get the hop down to 1/32".
