4. Thread the faceplate onto the headstock
spindle and tighten securely.
Note: If screws cannot be placed in the workpiece,

and attached to the faceplate with screws.
To mount your workpiece to a backing block:
1. Make the backing block from a piece of scrap
wood that is flat on both sides.
2. Locate and mark the center of both the
workpiece and the backing block.
3. Drill a 1 ⁄
4
" hole in the center of the backing
block.
4. Glue the center of the backing block to the
center of the workpiece (look through the
drilled hole to line up centers), clamp the
backing block to the workpiece, and wait for
the glue to cure according to the manufactur-
er’s recommendation.
Whenever sanding or finishing, move the tool rest
holder out of the way to increase personal safety
and gain adequate working room.

After turning, the workpiece can be sanded, as
shown in
Figure 30, and finished (in the same
