hello,
i have been messing about with bits a wood for a few years now and have had a go at a few things. recently my interest has been sparked by making some stools and large wooden vessels.
so after a fair bit of looking and stalking of ebay i purchased a union jubilee. it had some faults and foibles, but i think we are through them now, and short of a rewire to three phase motor with an inverter i am happy with it.
I have had a go at a couple of bowls now, and other than my poor tool control/lack of correct grind by me on the tool, they turned out ok. However i have been glueing an extra piece on the base of the blank. it is not an ideal method for me and i would rather secure the work piece in a chuck.
So to my question. if you have a jubilee, what chuck are you using? and have you got separate units for left and right hand threads? or do you have something that takes inserts?
any advice or experiences welcomed.
thanks
chris
