Make a set of jaws for your chuck
to turn off the bottoms of bowls.
Page 2 - the hold-ons.

"Bottoms up bowls, they will still look good."

A piece of maple scrap about 1 1/4" square was selected. It was marked off into 1 1/4" pieces with their centres marked for drilling.

A few moments were spent on the drill press and band saw to yield the blocks.
I should have had flat head machine bolts but I did not so I used what I had with a washer and nut and snugged them up tight.
Each was mounted on a Jacob's chuck and turned with a top diameter of 1 1/4" and a bottom diameter of 1".
Then they were mounted to the appropriate holes on the jaws.
A bowl was mounted for trial.
A successful bottom and a successful set of jaws.

If you make one please let me know how it turned out.
