You can never have enough £100 chucks I have two because I was fed up of changing the jaws on them for larger or small pieces to turn and found it easier to swap them over instead of unscrewing the jaws and changing them.
I'm always looking for second hand ones and as for chisels cheap ones don't last long before there only three inches long constantly sharpening them. I know you will enjoy your lathe once you have bought all the mandrels etc. Have fun. Roly
I like your process I also use the same as Rob Re-positional glue spray on the pattern and stick it to the wood and cover with 2" sellotape never had any issues been doing it for years.
My question is you say you shrink wrap there and then I take it you have electric to heat it up or is there a magic way and is it on a roll or bags. Roly
