friend of mine gave me a 4 inch four jaw chuck for my 9 inch lathe, and since I don't have a backing plate I figured that I would cast one out of some cast iron, or bearing bronze which I happen to have a bunch of.
So I started a pattern yesterday by cutting up some oak and gluing it together so I could make it round today.
heres the pattern in its first stages.
