Ok, that answered the "Thag" question (never would have thought to look in that thread for it). What about "Chuck"?
I doubt that's the same model, or anything close to it that Jeff has, but I have seen a few references to Chucker lathes in other mod builder's posts.
We also have 2 very large lathes in the machine shop where I work.

Not really, they are not called "chuck" becuase jeff uses a lathe called a "CHUCKER LATHE"... Jeff does not have one of those lathes. Nor are they called "Chuck" because of a lathe called a "CHUCKER LATHE".
I can say you guys are kinda close, but it is simpler than that.
He chucks the metal at the lathe?Not really, they are not called "chuck" becuase jeff uses a lathe called a "CHUCKER LATHE"... Jeff does not have one of those lathes. Nor are they called "Chuck" because of a lathe called a "CHUCKER LATHE".

If so, he's even more talented than I thought -- being able to get such consistent sizing with that methodology.
Probably WAY off here... but I seem to remember something about one being chucked down the driveway and surviving intact?
If not - then lets add it to the Urban Legend Chuck stories.

LOL, No but we did have one that jumped off the roof of a car on the freeway. And I did run one over with the SuperDiesel just to see what would happen. the answer? It has a few scratches.
Saturday thread.... Post #1 Check the pics. That is a 8" 3-JAW reversible.... CHUCK!
Similar to a chuck on a drill in function, just much larger. I have spent countless hundreds of hours ataring at aformentioned "CHUCK" and when it came time to give it a name, well it was a no-brainer. It was simple, and reaked of personality.
Everyone has known someone named Chuck sometime throughout their lives, and I bet you all have some "memorable" story about them one way or the other.
This falls into my "life's unexplainable rules" list.
Others are:
Little kids who go by initials instead of a first name ie: TJ always have a runny nose.
And women who walk around barefoot all the time are always better in bed.
Think about it....
I have more, but you should process these first.

Nursey Chuck went flying off my workbench due to a mishandled piece of poplar. Hit the cement and went skittering end over end across the garage.
Picked it up to survey the damage and, as far as I can tell not even a scratch.
It hit HARD...
What the hell do you coat these things with? Adamantium?
Shortly thereafter, I had an epiphone... epiphany... (one of those is a guitar)
I need a SHOP CHUCK!

I have thought about that one and you are absolutely right!
And thanks for clearing up the Chuck mystery.
(btw, I'll be ordering my second either tonight or tomorrow, just finalizing the artwork)
Well that was just too obvious Jeff
*now, where did I leave my shoes this time?*

I'm still blushing. The Little Chuck that I ordered even has the word "barefoot" on it. Even my online friends know that I don't wear shoes unless I'm leaving the house.
I will point this out to my husband the next time he asks if I'll wear shoes just because we're expecting guests and tell him to count his blessings.

I don't walk anywhere outside my house barefoot. My feet are too soft and sensitive. NOW I gotta grill hubby about this.
Only one I'd ever heard was, look at how well a woman takes care of her feet/toenails and that's directly proportionate to how well she uh....landscapes.
