It works! In my last post I described how I made a version of the SuperChuck. A couple days ago I got to try it for the first time. I threw a nice vase form and it turned out to be the perfect candidate to trim in the chuck. The black shelf liner material I used provided enough grip and I trimmed the bottom of the vase in no time. You can see an “in progress” shot and then a picture of the finished pot next to the chuck.
I only wish that I would have made the chuck a little taller because the other vase/bottle that I threw had a neck that was a little long for the chuck. I got around it by wadding up some of the extra shelf liner to make the chuck thinner in the middle so the shoulder of the pot would have a place to rest.
