I'm sure you could probably make a jig similar to the one he uses if you got a smooth bore insert for the chuck like this one, insert a 5/8" rod, and clamp the other end into a bench vise. It wouldn't have the same articulation, but it would certainly be more stable with less of a chance of damaging the lid. Hope to see pics when you're done!
Late to this but I, like yourself, am trying to get into woodturning. I visited my local woodcraft store and picked up a copy of this book of basic woodturning. It gives a really thorough walk through of turning tools, lathes, techniques. A little of everything. Check it out.
