very good clients you are here mustard welcome friend crimes as it may be that in the course of turnery we have not explained we have not dedicated a chapter to the grips that we have to make for our woods on the lathe what does this mean then when we are going to pass our wood the lathe we need it to have a grip depending on the type of wood or the shape it has we have to use 1 watt today we are going to base ourselves on the simplest ones because once we know how to make this type of grip the complexes will come out on our own. We will have acquired a lot of experience, I also want to tell you that they are not the only ones that exist and they can be used a lot more depending on our needs, what if we are never going to use metallic pieces that protrude along our woods since a friction could us give a terrible cut so without more chatter let's go glasses the first grip you have to know is the one known as between tips and lo We can use both slats and natural wood logs if we do them correctly, it is a very secure grip, there are squares or rectangular like people living we can do it in two ways, either with a ruler pointing to the two diagonals or with this device called a finder. From the center in the description of the video I will leave you where you can locate at the intersection of the diagonals we will have to make a small hole with a point although it will help us to penetrate that pointed part of our drag point as you can see I use one that I bought multi-point Since it offers a little more security once it is slightly fastened, we will tighten with the flywheel of our counter tip and we will tighten the sensation screw as you can see, the rocking is perfect.Another way to hold our square slats is directly with our claw plate. we will open a little and place the edges of the wood at the junction with the claws As you can see in the image, without pressing at all, we will mark the center with the counter point and thus with little effort we will have the balance of the piece directly remember that you have to tighten all the tightening points of our silver of yore we are going to use the plate screws that normally comes supplied as standard with our winches in this case to use a piece of flat wood rectangular and one side carries a rope that you may know that does not include too much when be balanced I'll mark diagonals to find the point of intersection of inputs with a compass we will mark the diameter of our screw plate and with some screws that do not exceed the stop or the maximum distance of the screw plate with the wood we will firmly join this type of union is used a lot to make sanding plates or any other utensil that is useful during turning once we have it we will only have to screw the screw shaft eo once we reach the top, press lightly with the supplied key that blocks our objective, as you can see directly, it starts balanced by the way, you know my instagram there today, going up normally, it advances us from the next project I will take advantage of since I have to hold this piece of wood to carry out a grip that is also very useful for when we do not want to waste any piece of wood that we have for it I am going to mark the inner circle that gives me continuity in the wood once we have cut it with our bandsaw which by the way is a tool Almost fundamental in the world of turning, we will return to the lathe anyway we will make the edges a little to make it totally cylindrical and once achieved we will make concentric circles that will help us later and now very attentive to the image I will show you a small type of tornado to make a hole we can do it this way like this chapter of the torn course ería is especially for those who are starting out, he just taught you how I don't want him to do it jce if you follow me and like it as a tournament, how do I do things, please, whoever uses a gouge, a punch, a bit or any other tool, do not do it in this way because if the mind is not in this way horizontally to the axis it could get hooked and jump towards us and it is a piece of iron that can do us a lot of damage for that is without having a market for this type of pieces because it is the head of A drill that we can incorporate into our counter point and we will do it in a much safer way, imagine now that with this piece of wood we would like to make a box and that we did not have much material for its grip, for that is the project that we are doing just Before this small incision or this small type of turning that does not have to be done, we are going to name it, for example, the centering plate and it will simply help us to Placing our piece in the most favorable place for the final balancing with the piece is also small in size, the clamping with hot glue will be more than enough and I am going to show you so that you can see that what we are doing is real in a small test of turning with and Without the counter point we are going to move on to the next one, the event is half a log cut irregularly in practically all its forms. I will take advantage of the rectangular side of the log to perform the same operation that we did before with the diagonals once the center of rotation has been located and helping myself with two slats I will make a hole of 8 millimeters and about 4 depth what is necessary to insert the screw that comes standard with our gripper plate if you want to see more in detail how this union is made there is a specific video in the course of turning already you I leave the link in the upper right part of the screen, as you can see, this grip is quite safe and gives us a lot of play when carrying out projects c omplicated and we continue raising the level a trunk 30 centimeters by 16 wide with our center finder and with the help of the punch we will reposition that it looks for the center until we have it in the appropriate place, we will mark the points and we will take it to the tone and as always in pieces as big we will start with the lathe at the minimum revolutions that we can and we will fix all the anchors with force the time we start we will have to remove ourselves from the axis of rotation and as you are appreciating the first time we have the trunk perfectly balanced and now we are going to move on to a piece more complicated wood that is the intersection of two branches is also a very dense and heavy way with our search in the center we will look for a circumference that includes the parts of the wood that we want and the rest we will discard so that it does not unbalance at the time of being placed in our tournament I have made with a 25 mm forner bit a hole of about 2 so that to be able to grip Arlo with the narrow wars of my claw plate and with the counter point and directly the piece is balanced I hope you liked the video and it has been useful to you, we do not see the next one before
