Wood lathe turning piece hits man in face - video

It would be great if there was some way to "chuck" your material securely to the headstock, appropriate to the mass and the turning speed. Also, if there were only some sort of shield you could wear on your head to protect your face from this sort of thing.

Guy who invents those two things'll have the world beating a path to his door.

Noob, faceshields have been around for yonks...and pretty commonly used here, by any serious turner. Cheers

Allow me to thank you – on behalf of the satirically challenged.
