Cip's Wood Chips

Cip's Wood Chips is dedicated to the enjoyment of woodturning. Each video is a recording of my method of approaching a project and may not apply directly to your project.  These videos are for entertainment only.

I learned to turn wood in junior high school, 9th grade.  I have been doing it ever since.  I am very much self taught.  In junior high we only had a couple of round nose scrapers and a parting tools.  Even when I bought my own 6 piece Craftsman turning set, I only used those three tools and occasionally a skew, only as a scraper.  Only since I retired have I been learning to use gouges and make better use of skews by watching YouTube videos.
