I have a piece that is about 1 3/8 inches in diameter and I want to hollow it out about 1/4inch deep on the end. I began spindle turning the piece, but now i need to hollow out the end and don't know how to mount it so I can do so.
I can't mount it to a face plate. I don't have enough base wood for a tenon.
I think my only option is to mount it on scrap wood that is screwed to the faceplate.
1) I have some tuner's tape. Will that hold it or do I need to get some CA glue? 2) Also, how do I get it centered on the scrap wood? 3) Is there another option?One other option could be just to drill press the end, which I may do, but I want to make 3 other pieces like this (these are chess rooks) and want to do it right from the beginning so I don't have to remount it. I also want to be prepared for turning pawns.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks, Matt
