I am working to make some 36-40" fly rod tubes. To construct them I am taking strips of wood and gluing together to form an octagon. Now I want to turn them on my lathe to make a cylinder.
My question is: Would I be best to have the chuck jaws on the "inside" of the octagon or clamped down on the outside of the octagon on each end of my tube. I.D is nominally 1.5" and O.D is nominally 2.00"
Thanks for the advice
Steve
