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. Disclaimer: Always work safely. Read, follow, and understand the instructions that came with your tools and equipment. Wear proper eye, ear, and respiration safety equipment.
