Sometimes ya just gotta laugh at yourself!

I have several wood lathes that I use to work knife handles with, and I wanted to upgrade one of them, the smallest one actually, to the next size up so I posted it on marketplace. Priced it right, and it sold quick and when the guy came over I picked it up and was carrying it out to his truck and I realized that I had left my nova chuck on it when I had posted it up for sale. Well, my bad, live and learn! My new chuck arrived today.

Damn, I'm sorry.

I've done the same type of thing before. Sucks.

Kudos to the last honest man on this earth...

That's a bummer

Slightly off topic, but how do you use a lathe to shape handles? For hidden tang only I would assume. Still the knife handles I've seen don't seem to lend themselves to being pre-shaped as a cylinder. With the exception of Pukkos I suppose.

Am I missing something?

Think something dagger-esque.
And it’s great for through holes as you mentioned for hidden tang.
And great for indexing for a variety of effects.

It is nice being at that age where I can get over myself easier when I make a mistake, unlike earlier years when I still hadn't realized just how flawed I am.
Life is a lot easier and honest when one can laugh at themself readily.
Hope the new chuck is happy in its new home. And, the old one, too, for that matter!
