Mounting a new 5" 3-Jaw Accusize Chuck on my 7x16 Mini-Lathe

Purchased the chuck back in December after being alerted to a deal by a member on another Forum, then waited for Little Machine Shop to bring the backplate to Cabin Fever and then had to get things set up for videos. The other Forums had to wait for parts 2 & 3; I've now created as a playlist:

Please like and leave comments; or you can leave comments/questions here (tried to embed the video here, but ran into difficulties, I think because it's a playlist: sorry). Thanks!

Glammed Up my Kant-Twist Clamps

Got tired of sore fingers from the skinny T-handles so finally I broke down and added grips:
20240407 Kant-Twist Handles.jpeg

4-1/2", 2-1/2", 2" & 1" clamps (some are Kant-Tiwst-ish); mostly Weaver-Grip™ courtesy of a Zoro 20% coupon, but a few copies improved versions from eBay (the Weaver's went on easier, even on the non-branded clamps). The baby 3/4" has a knurled knob. Still need another grip for a lonely 1" (Zoro had limited stock for the small ones).

I do have a problem: I found a bare spot that is begging for more clamps.
