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 CZcams videos.

Turning on a Slant
Two of the grandchildren asked me to make pens for them. I liked the turning blank but I wanted to turn it on a slant to get a special effect. I'll show you how I did it.

Pecan Wood Crouch Bowl
zhlédnutí 4,8KPřed 6 lety
I want to show you how I made this beautiful bowl from a Pecan crouch salvaged from local storm damage. This is my first video for 2018 and I hope you find it useful and enjoyable to watch. I mostly used a round carbide tip Easy Tool and a 1 inch round-nose scraper. The timber was very out-of-balance so it was slow turning. Sanded with 120, 150, and 220 grit sandpaper. It was finished with lacq...

Tapered Tenon Handle for Socket Type Chisel
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Greeting Tokyo Craftsman! I hope you found it useful, cheers.
A deburring tool would help with the inside of the tube
Howdy! Thanks for the tip, cheers.
Vintage tools don't rust. That's patina . Oh I know you didn't clean off the patina. You'll be lucky to give it away now. With the handle. Lol
Greetings Sammy! Thanks for the info. The hammer does have nice patina, cheers. PS: one of my children is named Patina.
@@CipsWoodChips How bout that lol. You did a fine job , I was messing with ya.
Awesome job.
Thank you! Cheers!
Soak the rust away with vinegar.
Howdy Dennis! Thanks for the tip. I cleaned it and spray painted it black, kind regards.
I just bought that scoop, checking out the video to get an idea to make it
Greetings Bee Keeper! Good luck with the coffee scoop project. My wife still uses the scoop from the video, cheers.
Looks good
Howdy! Thank you for your comment, cheers.
Excellent demo,I liked the planning with diagram. Good job.
Howdy Howard! Glad you liked it! Cheers.
Amazing project tools Watching from Clark,Pampanga Philippines
Howdy Raymondcape! Thank you for watching, cheers.
I love trains
Howdy! I love trains, too, cheers.
Muito bom
muito obrigado.
A piloted hole saw does the same thing in one step.
Howdy! I used to make wheels with a holesaw. Making wheels on the lathe is just another way, cheers.
Give me your e mail address for business purposes
Sweet! Gotta turn me some axe handles
Howdy David! Sounds like a good project, cheers.
Beautiful
Howdy James! Thank you for your kind comment, cheers.
Works a charm Cip👍👍
Howdy Wouter Smith! It looks like you found this video useful. That what it all about, cheers.
Thanks, I enjoyed the video as I did not know how to turn to get an offset.
Howdy Dennis! It was a fun project. Thank you, I appreciate your comment, cheers.
Nice job without using too much or the gouge.
Howdy George! Thank you for your splendid comment, cheers.
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.
Howdy Benjamin! Thank you for this useful information. Thank you for leaving a comment, cheers.
Good to watch you again please continue your work. Indie not see you for long time. Hope you are ok❤
Howdy Senior Blacky! I do need to make more woodturning videos. I am doing well and staying busy with a new channel: Cip's Techi Tip. Cheers.
Very Good and easy Diy.😀👍
Howdy Wouter! Thank you, cheers.
Interesting thank you
Howdy Charles! Thank you for watching, cheers.
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
Howdy BobbleHeaderman! Thanks for watching the video. This sharpening jig helped me out of a jam. I finally did find my purchased jig, cheers.
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
Yes, be safe. Some turners wrap the ends of the glue block with fiberglass stranded packing tape as an extra precaution, cheers.
@@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.
can you suggest a glue block making on youtube you like?
Howdy! Here is the link to my video for making a glue block: czcams.com/video/l76ucLHx2WY/video.html
Nice job. How do you account for no end grain tear out?
Howdy George! I would say; sharp tools, light cuts, and a bucket load of patience. Kind rewards.
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.
Howdy Jay! Thank for watching. I still use the hammer. It's OK, cheers.
I loved your video, i sold old ships whistles for years... Really big ones. I make small bamboo whistles fot the grand kids. I will attempt this.
Howdy DC! It is a fun project. Give it a go, cheers.
You have me thinking,,, Lol... Chuck in Michigan
Howdy Charles! "Thinking" that's great. Be inspired, cheers.
great job
Howdy Gary! Thank you for your comment, cheers.
Thank you for this excellent demonstration. I did not know about offset turning, surprising results.
Howdy Virginia! Thank you for watching the video and your kind comment, cheers.
Best tools box 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, it is a great help to me. Thank you for your comment, cheers.
Полезное приспособление👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for your comment, cheers.
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.
Hello,I have a question - where do You get the project? You do IT yourself? I want to make Toys for my grandson and i'm interested in. Thx
Howdy Jaroslaw! I mostly make-up my own projects. But, I am often influenced by watch other channels, cheers.
Awesome
Greetings Marcelo! Thank you very much for your kind comment, cheers.
Excellent work! I like turning mesquite too!
Howdy George! Thank you very much for your kind comment, cheers.
That's some good thinking thanks for that
Howdy Michael! Thank you for watching, cheers.
I like your economical, no-waste approach. Wood is a great material, every small bit of scrap can be used to make something useful.👍❤️
Howdy Attila! Thank you for your kind comment. I try to get by with little, 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"
Howdy Sam! Thank you for comment. I will look into the channel you suggested, cheers.
As someone who uses lasers & CNC on the reg, the best workshop upgrade I ever made was a pair of digital Vernier calipers.
Howdy CountDoucheula! Good Tip. Thanks
So the hammer handle goes in through the small oval and out through the larger one? 🤔
Howdy Lulius! Yes, that is correct. When the wedge is pounded in, the wood expands tightly in the large oval end, cheers.
Nice bit of wood and a nice bit of work well done 👏
Howdy Michael! Thanks, cheers.
Another easy way to dismantle those corkscrews is to take a pair of pliers and snap off a couple of the teeth on each side. The entire middle section will slide out easy peasy. Takes like 5 seconds, tops
Howdy CountDoucheula! Thanks for the tip, cheers.
O senhor é fera gostei parabéns.
Olá Paulo, obrigado!
May I ask what you use to stick them together. Thank you
Howdy Gordon! I use brown paper and yellow carpenter's glue, any brand. I have a video on making the glue block: czcams.com/video/l76ucLHx2WY/video.html , cheers.
@@CipsWoodChips thank you
Just the video I needed. Thanks.
Howdy V&K! I hope you found this video useful, cheers.
G’day Cip Nice shaped bowl and informative comments. Why didn’t you use bowl gouges during the making of the bowl. Scraping usually leaves tear outs which require more sanding.
Howdy Greg! This is just a personal choice. I learned to turn wood in middle school. We only had scrapers. So, If my scraper is sharp and cutting well, I stick with it, cheers.
Put marbles in it
Greetings Joker! Yes, that would be splendid, cheers.
Excellent! I learned a lot. Also got some great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Great to hear, Jeff! Have fun, cheers.
