Thread: Made some brushes

Beautiful brushes. Well done

Just thinking about making one myself. How do you hold the piece for turning?

Thanks, Stu

This is another thread I started and Oscar1953 replied with a picture of his setup, I set mine up the same way.
I'm using a 1/2 Drill chuck with a morse taper #1 at the headstock and a 6mm mandrel, at the tailstock I'm using a live center MT#1, and it works great. I would check into which size taper your lathe uses, I believe most modren mini lathes use a MT #2
I purchased all this at woodcrafters. Hope this helps, I'll post a picture when I get a chance...
