I bought Raffan's book, "Turning Wood", thinking I'd find some definitive instructions on faceplate turning, using a glue and paper method, etc. I also watched the video found on this woodturning forum, entitled "1 1/8" x 12 tpi chuck?" posted by Dynikus (The video was listed by NCPaladin).
Both were good, but in neither one did I find the instruction someone new to this needs in using a faceplate and the glue/paper method. So my question is, where can I get info for a beginner?
My faceplate is 4" diameter and a piece of wood the same size is already screwed to it (with a smooth front face). What size maximum bowl can I turn? What type of glue? What kind of paper?
Any help appreciated.
