decided today to have a play with something different than a slip of metal between the workpiece & lathe chuck jaws, as I didn't want to marr that bronze pin whilst finishing it off. Found that sticky back felt, which you can get in small sheets for sticking on ornament bottoms etc, to stop them scratching surfaces, makes quite a good protector. Cut a strip, stuck it round the piece where it was going in the chuck, & not a single mark on the piece from the jaws.
