Tail stock workholding

I just completed my first rotary carve following along with the Vectric video.


What are some best practices for workholding? My piece slipped off the tail twice during the carve.
Thanks,
Richard

I drilled a 1/8" hole in the tail end at the centre about 3/8" deep.
Keep checking the tail screw and the chuck for tightness periodically during the program run.
