I turned a practice box tonight. I haven’t done any turning for a while so I knew I might mess it up.
I had some issues.
When I was scraping the base I knocked the piece off the jam chuck three times. I was running the lathe too slow which caused the scraper to catch. Fortunately I was aware of the danger and I was scraping very gently. Normally this sort of accident will put a massive gouge into the wood, ruining the piece.
I solved the issue by increasing the speed of the lathe.
I was lucky.
