Nice work Bob, (as usual).
I wouldn't have bothered, you would need to have the jaws way beyond the OD of the chuck for that to come ito play, but that's just me.

Bob, I enjoy and admire you're patience, skill and drive to restore stuff that we love. I may have time to pay some of the needed attention my stuff that needs attention but right now I have priorities and seem to get less done in the time I have than before I retired.
I guess inefficiency grows disproportionatly with old age.
