Lathe chuck removal tool (it's a stick)

Forgot to post this the other day, but I ‘made’ this piece of walnut into an easy chuck removal tool for the lathe.

I don’t know if there was some other legit tool in the shop already, but feel free to use it! I left it in the right top drawer at the lathe station. Just takes a good whack with your palm and the chuck comes right out, no matter how stuck :+1:

(I was inspired to use this after nearly breaking my wrist with the ol’ grab and twist method)
