I picked up a few three jaw chucks and cleaned them up. There are enough backing plates out there already, and I needed a different approach for this one anyway, so I made a threaded spindle adapter to mount a Hardinge Chuck on my Logan lathe. I also needed a chuck key, so I made one out of a scrap drill bit.

I promise I'll still mostly make stuff out of rusty junk and not just buy shiny things with your money.
