A chuck is a rotating clamp for holding a workpiece to your headstock spindle. If you've got one, you can turn the outside of a bowl to shape (as long as you turn some sort of a foot on the bowl), then flip the bowl around, clamp the foot in the chuck and turn the inside. This lets you get really creative with the foot.
There are jaw chucks (which have jaws, just like it sounds) and vacuum chucks, which look like a little cup--you attach a vacuum pump to your lathe, put the workpiece in the cup, draw vacuum and turn away.
