So im building a treadle lathe, which will also function as a disk sander by sticking a 9inch sanding disk on it.

Only thing i cant figure out is work holding. I can buy a machined chuck for a lathe of course but then it costs $100 which i figure is almost half what i could buy a used lathe for.

Is there a DIY alternative or should i look for a parts lathe to grab the chuck from?
