Here's how to use double-sided tape instead of a lathe chuck.

Greetings.

I made a plate by securing it to double-sided tape. It turned out great.

At first I tried to carve a small bowl in this way.

The workpiece was fixed on the faceplate with self-tapping screws. Then I carved the outer shape of the bowl. I trimmed and sanded the bottom so that it was flat and smooth, and marked a circle on it to fit the faceplate. (Scroll through the gallery)

After that, the faceplate is unscrewed, double-sided tape is glued to it (I used it on a fabric basis). The excess is cut off, the protective layer is removed and the faceplate is glued to the marked bottom.

Aligning and sanding is exactly what is needed for a better adhesion of the tape. (Scroll through the gallery)

I found this method of attachment on one foreign site, now I don’t remember which one, but there, after gluing the adhesive tape, it was recommended to install the workpiece in the machine and press it for some time. I stood for 30 minutes.

I tried to sharpen with two different incisors: crochet and semicircular. (Scroll through the gallery)

Then sanding and removing the bowl from the tape. (Scroll through the gallery)

When tearing off the product from the adhesive tape, you need to hold it and apply an effort on one side. Then it is better to remove the adhesive tape immediately, and remove the remaining glue with a solvent.

And the result is like this.

In the same way, I made just such a plate. The size is already larger, but the scotch tape held it perfectly.
