I have used the dowel system myself Gerritt showed me how at one of the Yakima meets.. It is very safe and very solid... I have a set of small jaws that work also by expanding from inside the hole,...

Also just a hint, much like this hobby there are several Turning Forums out there

I learned a ton by asking questions here

The Woodturning Forum - Woodturner's Resource - Index

BTW Youtube...

Craig's List :)

And normally they are complete with many of the needed accouterments

My Jaw Vise cost more then everything else combined because I bought it at Woodcraft :(
