Hi,
Somewhere in this group I remember seeing a bit on holding the "lip"
of a bowl to finish turning the tenon etc. of the base. I"m using a
Talon 4 jaw chuck on a base tenon, but hate cutting/sanding off the
tenon after I've completed the inside/outside part of the bowl. If I
remember correctly it was a wooden addition/jaws set up to be used
with the 4 jaw chuck. It may have been a face plate/wood jaw device
also? I've tried searching this group but can"t find it. Any help
would be appreciated.

Two choices, really. Look up Longworth Chuck or Cole Jaws. Both will,
within limits, do the job. Consider, also, a vacuum chuck. In that case,
Bill Noble is the guy you want to search for. EVen if you don't
ultimately buy from him (though many on this list have) he's got some
excellent explanations of vacuum chucking on his web site (and some VERY
inexpensive spare face plates).
