Hey look who’s back. It’s been a busy summer around here. But i managed to complete a few new videos for you to love or hate. What do i care??! As long as my meds are filled, life is gooooood!!!!!!!!!! Doctor says i should stabilize any day now.
So hello there to all you little CHIP CHIP CHIParooos!!! You heard me correctly! CHIP a-roos!!! Not the cookie, silly! Not
that new salad dressing!!! Not that new tennis shoe that reduces body fat down to 2.0!!!! NOPE, none of
those!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But YES on the Chip Carving! Who guessed it correctly?? Was it YOU in the front row. Well, good for you little
man (or woman, I’m sorry I can’t really see that well thru the computer monitor).
CHIP CARVING at its best ! ... and now with the amazing power of “dem-internets” you will be able to do it toooooo.

I’m the guy that long ago said, “The humor is fine if it’s contained with substance”. With this video you’ve got the perfect balance. The humor is enjoyable and in between that you can see some good, good teaching. I thank you. Chip carving was always something I intended to make part of my woodworking repertoire. This is my introduction to it. Now to look for a set of knives. Thanks.

I realy do like watching your videos but could never get intrested in chip carving. I have at one time started to take my three sons to learn how to carve and I even gave it a try. With the kids running in cross country and track now along with playing with thier friends, carving seams not to be of interest anymore.
I have attended the Dayton Ohio wood carvers show along with my sons and injoyed the show very much.

Chad, this is both an informative and an interesting video. Thanks for the chip carving tutorial. You have taken a lot of the mystery out of the process and made it seem relatively straight forward.

Nice video. I have been thinking of trying chip carving on a box. But the sharp knife near the thumb makes me nervous.

If the blade worries you, there are thumb guards and also special woodcarving gloves, for protection.

What a great way to do a woodworking tutorial: solid production values; humor; personality. Not to mention the actually informative content. A rare combination of traits in this domain. :-)
Off to start practicing some simple chip carving momentarily!
