I could be wrong, but I think he's done that a few times.

Loved every second of that video, true skills.

How was he mounting the piece on the lathe?
 
It was a jam chuck. They appear to be used extensively. Here's another video where they are used. I had the privilege of seeing the late Yasuhiro Satake at the AWGB seminar a few years ago. It was a real eye opener.

In this one, you can see the jam chuck being used but also blocks of wood with some metal pins / nails which are driven in to the workpiece to hold it.
