Most of the time I use the 4 jaw chuck on the lathe, I also use some makeshift soft jaws to protect the part finish. But my shoddily thrown together jaw covers look like an afterthought and don’t necessarily give me the warm fuzzies that I like to have when using my tools. So today I’m spending way more time than necessary making something that will look a whole lot better. I guess they will work better too… but mostly they will look nicer.
