Your site is the one where I actually learn things. The other sites are mostly flash, and don't have a realistic showing of the real time needed, or even telling how or what they are doing. Is will soon start binge watching as the weather gets colder and drives me back inside.
Thank you, Kim. Your comments are a nice balance to the occasional people that ask me to speed up and stop talking. LOL All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Really like your explanations...great job
Thanks a lot! Happy Turning!
I have not used a jam chuck before. Will turn one soon.
Go for it! Thanks and Happy Turning!
Hi, Kent I’ve owned a midi lathe for over 20 years, and originally I turned lots of pens. I finally tired of this and got more active in other woodworking (furniture/cabinetmaking). Other than occasionally turning a small item such as a finial, knob or tool handle, I had not touched the lathe. However, during the pandemic, my 65 year old brother asked me if he could try his hand at turning, He had never had any experience woodworking but basically had nothing to do, as his job as a school bus driver had shut down. His interest sparked my wood turning interest, and he and I get together several afternoons a week and are turning bowls. I have never used a jam chuck, and after viewing this video, I am heading downstairs to turn one for our use. I have been following your videos for the last couple of months, and have learned quite a bit of the usefulness of the bowl gouge, as well as I have refined my sharpening procedure as well. Thanks for all the help!! Greetings from Birmingham
Excellent! Great for you guys! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
very helpful thank you.
You are welcome. Happy Turning!
Excellent tutorial.
Matthew, Many thanks! Happy Turning!
Always good informative information, Thank you
You bet Bill! Happy Turning!
Just what I wanted & needed to learn, thank you! I turned my first green bowl 6wks ago and now it's time to remove the tenon and clean it up, the jam chuck is the perfect option for this!
Glad it was helpful! Happy Turning!
Great video..thanks...husband just started using hid latrhe and loved this video!
I made 1 jam chuck and it worked well the first time but broke the second time. I didn't really know what I was doing and had a glue block on it and that's where it broke. This video will help the next time I make a new jam chuck.
Excellent. Yes, made them from a solid piece of relatively dry wood and you'll see good results. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Sir Kent,,,, I just stumbled onto your YT video. I just wanted to say, Thank you. I am a very novice turner. Only so far have done pens. Today was my first ever bowl or wooden cup for my desk to hold pens. I did have a few bumbles, no injuries. So I am still groovy.
I will be checking more of your vids and website out. Thank you again. TONS of info with "Reasons why", very easy to follow along. Good Man, Great Teacher.
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you're still "groovy." ;) Yes, bowls are much different than most other turnings. Enjoy the videos and Happy Turning!
On my long list of items to make for the lathe. Plan to make a few different widths and lengths.
Sounds like a plan! Happy Turning!
Very needed info , thanks I will be making some jam chucks soon.
Rock on!
Thank you for your video. Less comments and words would improve the production.
Ok, thanks
Kent, thank you for all the great videos! i just made myself three jam chucks of different sizes. I'm looking forward to putting them to use as I have a number of friends requesting bowls. Time to get turning!
Great, Rob! Glad you enjoyed this. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I have not done a live edge bowl yet so I've been using a round piece of plywood on a mounting plate. I drew circles on it to help get the bowl centered when I bring up the tailstock. It has worked to this point, but I will make a jam chuck this week.
Enjoy. I think you'll like the jam chuck. Happy Turning!
Perfect video for me, I need to make a jam chuck currently.
Go for it! Enjoy!
Thank you. I am amazed at your skill as a turner but also you ability to make educational videos both from a content and technical standpoint of such a project.
@@jefflynch3946 Thank you, Jeff. I'm very grateful for your appreciation. All the best to you!
Hi Kent.
I want to compliment you for (all of) your video's, especially the audio. You have a very pleasant voice to listen to, and your comments are very well articulated (English is not my native language). With my eyes closed it's almost meditative (you should consider making guided meditations).
More important, your content is always well made and a source for answers to many questions beginning with 'Why?' (lots of content outthere adress only 'How?'). I have still a lot to learn, your content is a very big help, so thank you!
Kind regards, Ray.
Thank you, Ray. Hm? Woodturning meditation lessons. LOL When doing live demos, it's common to see several people dozing off. LOL I'm glad you find these videos useful. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
New to turning. Love your great content. Thanks for sharing these great lessons, tips and tricks.
Thanks Kent, I always learn something valuable from your videos. I wish I had found your channel before I tried turning. I didn’t know ANYTHING, tried using a roughing gouge on a bowl blank and still have not found the 1/3 piece of the blank that went flying. I’ve found it better to learn from you and others rather than trial and error.
Tex
Thanks Tex. Be safe! A quick additional tip, don't use a spindle gouge on a side-grain bowl blank to remove large amounts of material. The spindle gouge can not handle the force of the end-grain fibers and can also break. A spindle gouge can be used on a bowl blank for small work like tenon shaping or rim details.
I did the same thing with a nice bit of newtonia lol. Chunks flew everywhere. My chisel starter box said the roughing gouge was for turning sqaure to round. I figured i was presenting the tool wrong, so i had attempted all manners of idiocy before i took to the internet and learned the error of my ways.
The bowl turned out lovely in the end, albeit a little smaller than i had hoped for.
Your videos are always a help to everyone. Thank you for the good information. I use jam chucks quite often. I have made a variety that I keep in my supplies drawer.
Glad to help. Yes, jam chuck are best in a variety of sizes and shapes. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Hi Kent, love your videos. Have learned a lot.
Being in South Florida where any type of quality lumber is scarce, do you see a problem with creating a jam Chuck from glued-up soft wood, like pine?
You know what I’m getting at, glued up 2x4’s. 😉
Thanks.
You can also uese a jam chuck with a four spur chuck although it it mite be risky it works in a pinch. If you are going to do this you should make the jam chuck reletively thin. If you don't have a four jaw chuck it is much safer to atatch the jam chuck to your face plate.
I really appreciate your videos as they are so informative and easy to understand. You don't just use terms that only experienced turners will understand but you explain what it means. So helpful!
Thank you kindly! I'm glad you like! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
You are a wonderful teacher, concise, well spoken explanations that communicate your knowledge and techniques. Your video quality, lighting and sound are also some of the best I've watched on TH-cam (and I've watched a lot of turners here). I subscribed after watching several of your presentations.
I'm a novice turner using a Jet mini-lathe. It's been good to learn on but has limitations as my desire and skills have developed. I turn mostly cherry, pear and walnut into small bowls. My wife and daughters like these and I give away some as gifts to friends. I'm considering a Laguna Revo 15/24 lathe as I've limited room in my garage/woodworking shop. My daughter just had an old sugar maple removed and I have access to many feet of 12 to 15 inch diameter logs from major limbs. I've already prepared several bowl blanks with many more in the future.
Paul,
Thank you for the kind words. It sounds like you're going to be making some nice large maple bowls. Awesome! Happy Turning!
Hey Kent, I am a craftsman, I do everything from fine wood working to building custom homes. I am now retired and always wanted to learn lathe work, I did it in college some but only a few projects on a lathe. I have ordered a lathe and am waiting for the delivery. So for now I am learning things by watching. Thank you for your lessons, You are very thorough and easy to follow, I appreciate your knowledge and time. John
Thank you for writing and sharing, John! I think you will enjoy your new journey! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, thanks for your very thorough explanations on wood turning projects. I am 75 years old and have been turning about two years and learn something new every time i turn on my lathe. I am going to start using jam chucks and this helps me to move forward in a safe manner. I always revert to your videos for my first line of instruction and your manner of teaching is easy to understand and put into practice.
I use jumbo jaws. witch do you fell is better?
What works for you is what is best! ;) I like the jam chucks because that's how I was taught, but that doesn't necessarily make them better than any other process. Happy Turning!
Absolutely I was wondering how or what to use to do this. I am such a rank amateur.
Glad I could help! Joe, we have all been there. Keep moving forward, practice, and make small improvements as often as possible. You're on your way!!!
Thanks for the great video and excellent explanation of the “how’s and why’s”!
You truly “shorten” the learning curve and increase the safety factor, all without having to learn it “the hard way”!
Your site is one of my “go to” sites for instructional learning! You are super knowledgeable and an excellent teacher! That’s a great combination!
Thank you, Paul. Yes, no need for "the hard way" if it can be avoided. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!
What are the external threads on the live center for?
Attachments. There are different shaped contact points that can be purchased to fit there. I've made custom sphere cups that thread to that live center as well. Good question. Thanks!
I will be making a jam chuck. I thought a screwed face plate was attached to each chuck. That would have been very expensive. In your videos I couldn't see how it was attached. Now I know how. Thanks. I love your videos.
Glad this helped Barbara! Happy Turning!
I've never used a jam chuck, but I'm looking forward to making and using it. Thank you very much. I love your videos
My pleasure, Frank! Happy Turning!
Hi Kent, I could see that when you mounted the bowl on the jam chuck, the bowl was slightly eccentric. Does this need to be adjusted (perhaps by tapping it while turning) or does it not really affect things too much? Thanks, Gary Ball
Good question, Gary. You can take more time to center the bowl. But many times that off center is barely noticeable…by anyone other than other turners. ;) All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, what brand of lathe do you use? And what would you suggest for someone with $1000 budget? I’ve made mostly bowls so far with a fairly weak 1/3hp lathe and want to upgrade.
Todd, I turn on a Robust Sweet 16. The $1000 price range is a bit tight for bowl turning. You will want to find a lathe with the largest variable speed motor you can afford.
I made my first bowl today and was stuck on how to finish the bottom by removing the tenon. Tomorrow I’ll make this jam chuck and finish my first bowl.
You can do it! Have fun and enjoy the whole process! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Great teaching. Question: Why not using blocks of glued scrap baltic birch plywood? Couldn't we produce multiple types of chucks cheaper than using nice wood? Or is it too soft to hold in the chuck being used later? In that case could we glue to it a 1 inch piece of hard wood to reinforce the hold in the metal chuck?
Well, I suppose you could do that. I'm utilizing cut off corners from large bowl blanks, which I have in great supply. Use what you have available.
I have used a smaller jam chuck that was about 5 inches around. I just did about an 8-9" bowl and it didn't work out well at all. Do you recommend some ratio for size to determine what size jam chuck to use for the various bowls?
A 5" jam chuck on a 9" bowl should work. Be sure to turn a concave area on the front of the jam chuck so a 5" jam chuck should have about a 4" ring that is contacting the bowl. If the nose of the jam chuck is pointed, only that point contacts the jam chuck. Let me know if that helps. Happy Turning!
Thanks Kent I just made my first Jam chuck today and wow did it work out great! Thanks for sharing!
Great job Dan! Yeah, I think you'll like it even more over time. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
I've made a few jam chucks and use them on certain occasions. I also use cole jaws, especially when I have an undercut rim either inside or outside. I've not seen any of your videos where cole jaws are used. Do you ever use them? why or why not? I know there are certain safety precautions for the use of cole jaws and I use them only when the purchase on the rim is very secure. A video on cole jaw use and safety would be a good one to do sometime. Thanks again.
Good question. I don't use cole chucks only because I turn a lot or irregular edged bowls, natural and live edges. I find the jam chuck is best for almost any bowls. Happy Turning!
One thing about jam chucks, it is dangerous to run them at high speed. You don’t want to mount one and them crank up the speed knob right away. This is way cheaper than a vacuum system but I suppose if one is like you and do a lot of bowls per week or whatever then it might be worth the investment.
While high speed can be a problem, that's really true for all mounting methods. I have never run into problems with a jam chuck, b ut I have sent bowls flying off the vacuum chuck. ;) Happy Turning!
Good morning don't you ever turn lamps I laminate wood and turn lamps here in South Africa
I have not yet, but it's on my list. ;) Happy Turning!
I was hoping to see more about centering on a jam chuck. (I have no trouble with centering the bottom because I do leave a center point). I noticed that your bowl also had a wobble indicating that it was not centered perfectly. How do you address this?
Good question. If the wobble is very minor, I'll leave it. I move the tool rest to the tenon and place my thumb on the rest, with the lathe off. I hand rotate the bowl and see which side of the tenon is rubbing my thumb. Then I loosen the tailstock and gently slide the high side towards the center, return the tailstock and check again. I'll do this until the tenon passes evenly, and balanced past my thumb on the tool rest.
Kent you are awesome. Your a great teacher. Thank you
Thank you, Robert! Much appreciated! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, I love your instruction videos. You present your material in an easy thorough manner that separates you from other instuctors. I love your stuff!
Thank you kindly, Ross! Happy Turning!
Grat video, thanks! Why not glue a rubber disk at the top to increase the friction at the bowl-touching area?
Good question. The tension from the tailstock works fine. Also, the jam chuck needs to be reshaped occasionally. Happy Turning!
I take it, you dont like cole jaws? Yeah, I know that the manufacturers think they are the cat's meow, with their prices
I had one set for able a day. Threw two bowls and that was enough for me. I may try again with a different brand.
A nearly empty roll of duct tape or masking tape makes a good jam chuck.
great videos, all.
Good idea. thanks for sharing and Happy Turning!
Great job of explaining from start to finish. I enjoy your videos more each time I pull you up. Keep up the good work.
Awesome! Thank you!
Where do you get your for turning from? I can get some from friends yards but for nicer or different bowls where do I look?

I'm newer to turning and I was always looking for a way to remove a tenon instead of sawing it off. Thank you.
My pleasure, Lori. Welcome and All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Parabéns pelos vídeos ótimo conteúdo sou do BRASIL. E vejo seus vídeos esclarece muitas dúvidas.
Estou tão feliz que você está prestes a entender e aprender com esses vídeos. Tudo de bom para você no Brasil!
Kent I always like your video. They are very educational. There are times when it's confusing which tool to use.Give your Expertise helps a lot. Thank you
I'm glad to help Matt. My rule is to use as few tools as possible. It's way too easy to have hundreds or tools and gadgets all around, but we really need to question what actually gets used. Happy Turning!
Kent i would like to see a video on angles, it's mostly confusing for most wood Turners. Angles and bevels
Great video, I ain't no kid I'm 68 years old and have been turning bowls for 25 years or more, and you are a great help to me, and I appreciate you. You are a gifted teacher, where were you 25 years ago, Daycare.
That is awesome! Thank you for your kindness!!!
I have to say that your tone of voice did not detract from the instruction that you were making.
Thank you and Happy Turning!
good stuff I've been wondering about how to remove the tenons thanks
Happy to help! Happy Turning!
At this point, I don't have much in the way of scraps lying around. That block of camphor looked like you could get some decent-sized bowls or boxes out of it. Or was it no good for turning for some reason?
Jim,
That was a chunk designed for a spindle turning but it has a small crack/void. It's stable so now it's a jam chuck. ;)
Happy Turning!
Kent
@@TurnAWoodBowl ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.
Ken, I’m working on my second bowl. This time with your guidence. Used your microwave drying video and now ready to make a jam chuck using a 3” rolling pin from a thrift store. I love this stuff.
Excellent Dale! Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent what brand tools do you use?
Hurricane mostly and some others. You don't need super expensive tools to do the job. Happy Turning!
Hello Kent,
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago. Although I only do segmented work, I have learned so much from your videos. I subscribed after watching the first video.
I must say your method of teaching is superb! I really appreciate the time you take to explain every aspect of the subject matter you’re presenting.
I am a carbide guy, mostly because we were full time RV’ers and I didn’t have room to carry any kind of sharpening system. I only have access to a Woodshop with a lathe here in Arizona where we spend our winters.
You mentioned in the video a “tailstock extension”. I could make good use of an accessory like that. I didn’t find a link to it. Can you post it?
Thanks again for your great videos!
Skip,
Thanks for writing.
I'm glad this content connects with you.
I never even considered carbide tools being ideal for "travel turning." That makes perfect sense.
The tailstock extension is listed in Lathe Accessories in my Recommended Equipment Guide TurnAWoodBowl.com/gear Here is the direct link for you amzn.to/37ffhGP
All the best and Happy Turning!
I just watched making tenons and then this one on the jam chuck. Very informative. I've made 3 bowls now and 2 of them went flying off the lathe. If you could add some approximate measurements while demonstrating it would be helpful. I'm guessing the jam chuck was about 6 x 4? I can't wait to get my own woodshed set up. You've made it seem doable. Thank you
I like how you emphasize safety all the time I have a question do you have some type of vacuum system to suck all the Dust I've been using a respirator because I have figured out a vacuum system do you have a video for a vacuum system
Good question Elden. No I use the respirator to keep the dust out of me and then I sweep up after. I've found that the lathe is nearly impossible to position a vacuum system to collect even a small portion of the debris. I do use a ceiling mounted dust filter to grab small particals. You could bring a vac up while sanding, but for the most part I end up sweeping. ;) Happy Turning!
Thank you I like the the way you explain why you do the things you do his very helpful I'm learning how to turn always be safe we really appreciate everything you do
is there any cheap wood source to use for a jam chuck?
Mike,
Yes, any scraps you have or a chunk of firewood will work.
Happy Turning!
Kent
What size was that piece of wood for the jam chuck?
Check out all the jam chuck info here turnawoodbowl.com/jam-chuck-wooden-bowl-turning-magical-partner/ Happy Turning!
Always informative and simply explained. Thanks Kent. Stay safe.
Have not used a jam chuck before but I will try one now, Thanks
I have used them. Your video gave me some ideas as to expanding my collection software them to accommodate larger turnings. Thanks for the information.
I use a “jam plate” similar to the way Glenn Lucas does. I think I will make one like this as a second opinion and to use for smaller bowls.
Very informative and simply explained, thank you for sharing 😀
I use jam chucks, but I find yours a bit more versatile - TNX for the info, Ernie.
Another good video. I was expecting to hear something about how to center the piece back on the jam chuck so it spins without wobble. Good job.
Cool, thanks. Surprisingly, the bowl, if marked well on the tenon, usually centers pretty quickly.
like your videos. straight to the point, is perfect and so is the audio. Your descriptions are easy to follow. great job narrating. will definitely be making one of your bowl jams,,, thank you.
Halim, thank you and I'm glad you like the video. Be sure to Subscribe, I have many more on the way soon!
Thanks for sharing your video.
about to make my first jam chuck.
Awesome! Enjoy and Happy Turning!
I just received my chuck this week and I can see where I will be using much more than I had anticipated. Thanks for the great info., and the great instruction............................rj
You're welcome. Glad to help!
Thanks for all of the great turning videos, I want to make a jamb chuck, looking at this video your jamb chuck looks to be something like 8" long and roughly 6" in diameter? Another person's video uses a tennis ball as a jamb chuck,what's your thoughts about that?
More than one way to skin a grape. ;) See what works best for you. I prefer this method. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Kent, thank you!! can I use pine, I'm surrounded by pine
Love your videos , I have learned a lot about turning a bowl. Thank you.
Hello Kent and thank you again for a great video. You’ve taught me so much. My question is, do you have a recommendation of jam chuck size vs bowl size? You’ve inspired me to turn a 13” maple Burl and it’s time to introduce a jam chuck to work on the foot. I assume the wider the better. Thoughts? Thank you.
Yes I have, check out this article turnawoodbowl.com/jam-chuck-wooden-bowl-turning-magical-partner/ Happy Turning!
Thanx again for another great video.
You bet
Kent, thanks again for your instructions!!
This week I was turning a 7" Ash Bowl. At 3" deep, I got catches, the piece was still to heavy. So I made a "jam Chuck", then trimmed off about 1" off the bottom. It worked great,&saved a nice bowl with no injuries, two pluses!!!
Oh great. So glad this helped out. All the best to you and Happy Turning!
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Agreed!!! I'm learning so much about turning from him!
Thanks Kent, I made a jam chuck based on your instructive video. Then, not finding an appropriate foam, I ended up with covering it with some hot-melt glue. Not easy to apply it evenly, but well, it doesn't need to be perfect after all. So far so good, my Kent-inspired jam chuck works nicely for me!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing your solution. Happy Turning!
I recently found your videos and have really enjoyed the practical, straight-forward guidance you've provide. With respect to jam chucks, I'm surprised that so far, I haven't run into any videos of pro turners using the Cole jaws...which I would think one would use on bowls. Is that like carbide bits and all...something pros eschew?
Ha. Maybe. I think Cole chucks are ok, but they require too much set up and only work well with bowls that have appropriately conforming rims. The jam chucks accommodate almost anything, including natural edge, complete irregular rimmed bowls. Thanks and Happy Turning!
Thanks for this vid on jam chuck. I'm just beginning bowl turning and have watched a few of your videos, they're well done!
Thank you, Michael! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Good stuff. I've been watching all your videos since my awesome wife bought me a little WEN table top lathe. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge.
That is awesome! Thank you and you're welcome! Happy Turning!
I do get the concept and I thank you very much and plan on making this My question though is it might have just been the video but are you able to still get it where you could make a straight cut on the bottom? It looked like your bowl was fairly wobbly and off-center. Like I'd be worried to try to make a flat bottom cut on it. Was that normal? I'm not being insulting I promise I much rather not grind everything down on a belt sander lol
Yes, a flat top to the jam chuck can be helpful by adding additional surface area for the reversed bowl interior to grip. Happy Turning!

Thanks to you and this video, I'now made 2 jam chucks of differentszizes, and I'm looking forward to testing them as I finish two yarn bowls due to be finished ss gifts this week.
Fantastic! Great for you! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Always informative and helpful Ken, thanks. Stay safe and cheers from MT
Thanks and Cheers to you too!
Thanks. Another great video. You do such a terrific job of these explanations. I'm learning a lot from you.
Awesome, thank you! Glad to help. Happy Turning!
Kent, your videos are excellent and very informative. I’ve learned a lot by just watching. Thank you.
Thank you, Roger! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
New turner. Love this video. Taking weekend class on lidded bowl and will be using a jam chuck. So enjoy your videos.
Thank you, Linda! Remember; persistent, patient practice will yield the bowls you imagine creating! All the best to you and Happy Turning!
Haven't to date had much luck with a jam chuck but you have inspired me to try again using a bigger piece of wood and shape it more like a bowl bottom. Thanks!
Good to hear. Give it a try. Happy Turning!
Never used one but will give it a go
Great, enjoy Dennis! Happy Turning!
Great information, explained in a way that is easy to understand. I just started turning recently and have yet to purchase a chuck for my Jet 1221 VS lathe. I have been practicing spindle turning first but am really excited to start turning bowls and other hollow forms. The few videos I have watched thus far are very enlightening and educational. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Be sure to see my website too. turnawoodbowl.com/ All the best to you!
I have watched as many of Your videos (classes) as I can and I'm continuing that even now. So far, I will use every bit of information You have given me. Thanks, David
Wonderful! Enjoy and Happy Turning!
I’ve never used a jam chuck, but will probably try making one now. Love your videos. Very informative.
Awesome! Thank you!
I use jam chucks…thanks to you
Fantastic Mike! Enjoy and Happy Turning!
Great job and very instructional. I have watched a lot of wood turning videos and you explained things very well. thank you
Awesome, thank you! Happy Turning!
