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 RU-vid videos.

Thanks for the great video. I have a full compliment of carbide tools but regular gouges, skews and traditional chisels work so much better. In my opinion and experience... For the new woodturner, carbide tools are a great introduction to learning this beautiful craft.
I bought the same set last Feb. also I have found the ruffing tool to do good to finish also the only thing I got tired changing the handle so I made a couple of wooden handles so the cutting tools are always ready when I am
Thanks so much for putting in the time to share this video! I've been wanting to get into lathe work and this is perfect for my research. Thank you again!
Howdy Luie! I think it may take me a while to get some experience using these chisels. I watched several of your videos. They are very good. I turned on a lathe like yours for a long time. It was from Harbor Freight and had a 12" Craftsman bandsaw, too. I changed the tires to Blue Max; no more problems, cheers.
Hi Cip,for a budget set of tools, they look great,I like the idea that the two handles can be joined. I think the square tip would be good for cutting tenons . Good to see you my friend Cheers Bram
A late FYI, however I believe people aren't aware that each standard copper pipe comes in three standard wall thicknesses: K = Heavy wall, M = Medium wall, & L = Thin wall The thick K type is more of a specialty pipe but is usually only used in underground/external water lines, A/C refrigerant lines, and/or fuel feed lines on oil boilers. Home Depot carries thin walled (L Type) and the Medium (M Type) copper walled pipe. Remember if your at home depot; type L copper pipe has a thicker wall than M. The type M is thinner and is generally used for plumbing light domestic water lines. It's type be marked right on the copper pipe if your unsure what you have just take a look or measure the wall thickness. NOTE: DWV type Copper pipe is an old "4th" type you may find as old scrap. It is called Drain Waste Vent pipe and was used in the drain and vent systems of older houses. It's not really used at all today and would be the absolute thinnest walled pipe you'd come across as used scrap. It's rated at only 15psi of pressure.
Thank goodness that I can buy this at lee valley Canada for $99. Save me $200 in labor time. I do appreciate the video however and if I was not working anymore and didn't need this to make income then I would probably use my time and make your project . Kudos
When I saw the inside out video I thought that how the glue block would be made but wanted be sure. Woodworking is fun but we need be safe. No accidents in my shop since 1991
@@CipsWoodChips add that tape to todays shopping list. Emailed the picture of the tractors I've made and picture of me driving the one I modeled it after. Me playing Uncle Sam in a Ripley WV parade.
Wow! Heck of a job! Love the old wood and the knot. If you don’t trust the wood, hang it on the wall. I wouldn’t change a thing. Much character in that hammer. Subscribed.
Excellent! I really enjoyed this/your video. It quashed just about all of my doubts and anxieties.... Now, it's time to grab a stick and whittle away. I found a hammer the same weight, length, etc....: the dimensions are the same as the ones that you laid out. I wondered about the different styles of handles: whether it's for a "machinist", "engineer", "blacksmith", silversmith, etc. I guess there are reasons for the differences. Also, in that line of handles, I've noticed that oak is the species, most called out.??? Maybe because of its stiffness??? ...higher degree of control...at the cost of vibration (causing carpal tunnel syndrome...I heard was common to blacksmiths). I ain't no tradesman.
Howdy Joseph! Yes, there are differences. The claw hammer handle comes to mind. Claw Hammer handles need to be strong because through leverage they are used to pull nails. Machinist hammers rely mostly on velocity. Blacksmith hammer handles rely on brute force; thick handles with heavy heads, cheers.
Cip I notice a safety action that you use that NOT many do these days. That you removed your ring before starting the machine work, thank you, I enjoy doing interesting lathe work, I viewed a channel of a gent that turned a Knife on a metal lathe his channel is "Mehamozg"
