Peggy, always enjoyed watching you turn, like your newer videos even more that show more of you, your shop and your intros. You might want to consider showing short clips of real time turning. Keep it up! Thank you, -Dave
the easy chuck is one thousand percent worth it!!! I could never go back to the nova chuck that I used before! once you use it you'll realize just how good it really is!!!
hey Peggy, enjoy watching you turn,I have all oneway chucks, lathe, and devices,I have everything they make including a coring system,am happy with all except my skill,but thats getting better,love your instruction,great work.
I have two chucks I use - a Nova and an Easy Wood. When I started turning I got the Nova as part of a buy package with my mini-lathe. That was an extended Excelsior that I used for hobby crafts - Christmas ornaments and the like. Over about 18 months of use, I bought several accessory jaws for it so when I upgraded to a PowerMatic 2014, I bought a 1-1/4" to 1" adapter for the new lathe and kept using the Nova. But over time, Carl Jacobsen and other You Tubers convinced me to try the Easy Wood. So when I had some extra dollars, I took the plunge. I've had it maybe nine months and I have to say I reach for it about 2 to 1 over the Nova. No slam to the Nova but at age 69 with hand tremors, dealing with the Nova's bitty screws is a pain. The EW runs smoothly, easy to change jaws (although I don't have many yet - hence, the reason I still use the Nova) and I like the set crew locks, etc. Also, I've seen zero runout so far. And of course, the ability to quickly spin the jaws in or out is nice - not necessary but nice. So that you can calibrate the validity of my comments: I've done carpentry since I was young on and off but getting into turning and carving is a late thing. Broke my back a few years back, so I've gravitated toward hand work, as I can't walk rails or wrestle cabinetry any more. I am strictly an amateur but one with lots of somewhat relevant experience, primarily in cabinet-making. I've turned a fair number of spindles (35 ornaments for family last Christmas, some magic wands as gifts, a couple of mallets, lots of learning pieces, etc.) and am now skill building in bowl turning. Mostly small stuff, under 7" diam x 3" height. I've made mebbe 20 bowls so far, both live edge and 'straight,' Some of the bowls are quite small and the EW chuck using the jaws that came with it does a good job hold in shallow recesses and short tennons for those bitty projects. Largest so far has been a 12" x 5" live edge. SUMMARY: I'm no expert but while I like both, if I had it to do over, I'd go Easy Wood. I just finally retired and haven't got my site up and running but you can see me at www.michaelwmcdermott.com as a temp measure and at least know a bit about the geezer making these statements..
Thanks, Michael. That's great info. I'm just trying out some furniture and cabinet making. For me, woodturning is so much easier. I need to get a better table saw...right now I have a $300 rigid and the cuts are difficult to get exact--not great for trying to building a cabinet or a table!!! Good luck with your turning and have fun with it!
@@PFWoodturning Dunno what your budget is, but when I started rebuilding my shop (lost most of my tools and equipment to burglars), I sprang for a SawStop three years ago, when I started doing woodworking again after breaking my back. I got the cast iron table contractor version and I am beyond happy that I did. Blew through a pot of my insurance settlement (about $3000 with tax, etc.) but I would do it again. The safety angle is important but the best things about it are the big three - precision, accuracy and ease of adjustment. As I said, I don't do cabinetry anymore but I use the SawStop to break down materials and for cutting parts for my 'flat' work. If you want to know more, feel free to email mcwordsmith@comcast.net.
Very nice bowl. I bought an Easy chuck and several different jaws a few years ago, I liked it so much I bought a second one. I haven't had any issues with them and I love the fact that can I can change the jaws in about 20 seconds. The jaws are not numbered and can be attached in any order. No regrets. Take care.
I have an easy wood chuck and love it. In fact had one with my laguna 12/16 and another after I bought my Robust sweet 16. 1” vs 1 1/4”. So quick and easy to pop off small jaws and replace with the larger ones.
I have both the Easy Wood chuck and a Nova chuck. I like the Easy Wood chuck because the jaws open wider and I can make larger tenons. I now use my Nova chuck just for Cole jaws and that way I don't have to continually screw them on and off. The Easy Wood chuck is expensive. I was able to buy it on sale and had a gift card which brought the price down.
Peggy, another nice piece. Regarding four jaw chucks, if your going to spend $400+ for one, you should consider the Vicmarc 120 chuck. Great chucks that will last a life time and available with a variety of jaws. The other chuck that I use is a OneWay Stronghold. Great chuck and well made. Again, thanks for all your great videos.
Lovely bowl Peggy, lots of color in that one as usually spruce is kind of plain looking! I have never used an easy wood chuck as they are expensive here but maybe you will get a better deal in your country, thanks! Cheers Al
I gave you a like for this one. Because I like it! Simple as that. I love your quiet but technically confident demeanor and of course your sense of humor. I am a woodworker of some ill repute and work mostly in domestic cherry. It grows abundantly around here in Pa.
Peggy, I have had the easy wood chuck for several years and turned countless bowls, platters, ornaments, etc. and have never had any issues with it being able to hold whatever size i happen to be turning. I also love the fact that before i could take one jaw off my old chuck I cna change all 4 of them on the easy wood chuck. Great job on the bowl and it looks great!
First, the nonprofessional comments --> Love it when you are on screen, you have a most enjoyable smile. I think that you should name this bowl Burl Ives. I was waiting for the Silver and Gold accent band on the outer rim 😺✌ You do such beautiful work. Be Safe, Work Hard, and come visit Minnesota in September.
Hi, I really like that clamping system for bowls. So I was able to sand the walnut nut bowl that I made back in 1967, I am now waiting for the 2 Acks wood paste. So I will try to send you pictures. Thank you and thank you for your videos.
I turned a spruce bowl a few moths ago. I like thinner wall bowls. you could see light in the sappy areas of the wood through the bowl. very nice though.
I bought the Easy Wood chuck, and compared to a Nova and a Barracuda chucks that I have, hands down the Easy Wood chuck with the extra jaws is well worth the money if you turn things that require changing jaws for different operations it save so much time.
I have 3 chucks that I use. Two of them are Nova and I leave the 2" jaws on one and change what jaws are on the other as needed. And then I have my first chuck (tm) which I now either have the pen jaws on for when I am drilling pen blanks or I have my cole jaws on.
I have had an easy wood chuck for several years, and it was one of the best tool investments i’ve made. Other chucks are kinda easy to change jaws. This VERY easy, VERY secure and VERY well made. Love mine and would be lost without it.
Came out real nice Peggy. You surprised me at the end though. When you showed us the bowl at the end, I thought you had switched it up with another bowl. Given that the inside seemed to have a low profile and looked really shallow. (Compared to the taller outside height of the bowl I had saw earlier...) But it all came together when you showed the outside of the bowl, I saw that it was the same one. I realized then that you just chose to not go as deep as you could have on the sides when you hollowed it out. Nice turn... V
Another great video and bowl. And like others have said, you always have that great smile. 😁 I haven’t turned Spruce yet. Can’t seem to find some that I can afford.
@@PFWoodturning Maine is pretty far from South Louisiana. And with gas prices the way they are, road trips are on hold for now. Maybe one day we could do a wood swap. We’ve got a lot of Cypress, Oak, Sycamore and Pecan down here. We also got a lot of pine, but it’s way to sappy for turning.
Elegant and beautiful in its simplicity. I was very happy to see you turn wood that is common in my part of the world. I look forward to each new show. Thank you again. 😊
I always wondered what the inside of a burl looked like. One of the guys in the house makes rustic tables and many of the table stems are made with limbs that have burls in them. They look cool, BUT, like I said, wondered what the inside of them looked like. Some are pine, some maple, some white birch. Thanks again for a beautiful piece.
It depends on what you are looking for in a chuck, if you want a high quality chuck I would get a Oneway or a Vicmarc, if you are looking for quick change jaws look at EWT and Nova even has a conversion to quick change jaws
This is definitely a great video!!! The bowl is beautiful and again silky. Such a professional video maker you’ve become. Great!!! So happy to see it. Thank You.
Peggy that's absolutely gorgeous and an amazing burl it was some size waow I love the beautiful colours of grain throughout the bowl 👍👍👍
Thanks so much 😊

Good to know! Thanks!
The coloration of the wood is very nice - lots of interesting grain too.
Many thanks!
Nice bowl. I like the black glue it really adds a bit of contrast and the natural swirls are sweet ...
Me too! Thanks!! 😊
Love, love, love my Easychuck! Makes jaw changes a snap!
😎
Pretty piece of wood Peggy turned out to be a beautiful bowl
Thank you very much!
Lovely piece of spruce. Very nice bowl Peggy.
Thank you very much!

Thank you so much 😀
Good afternoon, Peggy. Fantastic bowl. I have two chucks. One is a Vicmarc, the other is a Oneway Stronghold. Both work very well.
Thanks for the info!
It's a beautiful bowl. Nice variations in the wood that give it character
Thanks!
Nice bowl and a nice video. Well done Peggy.
Thanks 😊
Peggy your work is beautiful, just like you. You must get tired of hearing this, keep up the good work.
Thanks, Mark.
the colours of that wood are amazing! Great bowl!
Thanks very much ✌️

Wow! Nice job. Love that Spruce Burl. I have a few more pieces and now I'm inspired to put one on the lathe and give it a spin. Thanks
Go for it ✌️
I have the OneWay Stronghold chuck, and have always had very good hold on my blanks. Beautiful bowl. Compliments from a fellow Maine woodturner.
Thanks, Glen. Where in Maine?
@@PFWoodturning South Gardiner, Love your work.

Yes, that helps. Maybe I'll wait until my birthday or Christmas...
Nice bowl. Not many people turn spruce. Good video!
Thanks 👍
Beautiful bowl. Well done indeed. Excellent video too. 👍
Thanks 😊
Beautiful bowl. There was some beautiful grain you brought out. Thank you for sharing. Peace out
Thanks for watching ✌️
Nice looking bowl Peggy.

Thank you! Cheers!
Peggy I turn spruce burns a lot but I use hot melt glue on a block secured to a face plate works great.
Cool, thanks! I’ll have to try that
I have a blue spruce tree in yard that was pushed over in storm ,, and have though of cutting it up and making things . Nice wood
You should!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! 😊
Cool project with a big smile at the end! I thought you might say Quahog instead of clam!
Well, it easily could have been a quahog too!
Great looking bowl
Thanks 👍
Great piece with interesting figure. Carl Jacobsen has done a video in the Easy Wood Chuck. Nice phone stands, very enterprising of you.
I will check it out, thank you!
A very pretty bowl Peggy. I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for sharing. 🌹

I can't say I've ever turned spruce, but I do like the grain and colours in this piece! Your design displays them well.
Thank you very much!
That is Beautiful
Thanks!
Another great video and bowl. And like others have said, you always have that great smile. 😁
I haven’t turned Spruce yet. Can’t seem to find some that I can afford.

something about burls - they love to perform. very nice bowl kiddo ... as usual✌🏼🤓
Thanks, Liz✌️😎
LOve your work. PLwasure to watch. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!
Nice piece thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I like my easy wood chuck, and my two Vicmark chucks, but the Axminster sk 114 is a superior chuck for my turning. You would love it!
Thanks for the info ✌️
Good Afternoon Peggy, I really enjoy your videos. This spruce bowl turned out beautiful.
Thank you so much!
Beautiful bowl as always from you Peggy ❤️
Thanks!
A lovely bowl. I'm partial to intense grain.

Beautiful work Peggy 👏! In my opinion Record Power makes a great chuck for the money. Maybe you should look into that. Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!
Thanks, I will!
It depends on what you are looking for in a chuck, if you want a high quality chuck I would get a Oneway or a Vicmarc, if you are looking for quick change jaws look at EWT and Nova even has a conversion to quick change jaws
Awesome, thanks!
This is definitely a great video!!! The bowl is beautiful and again silky. Such a professional video maker you’ve become. Great!!! So happy to see it. Thank You.
Thanks very much 😎✌️
