Chatter Tool Methods
with Ron Brown

A Complete Course

A Chatter Tool is a scraper with a thin blade which when held against spinning end grain vibrates, or chatters, rapidly sculpting a wide variety of textured patterns. Such patterns enhance the appearance of items and are used to further decorate turned lidded boxes, spinning tops and bottle stoppers among others. The average cut takes less than three seconds. Most folks who see an object with chatter work decoration perceive it as intricately hand carved, something which must have taken many hours and a very steady hand.

As I travel around the country demonstrating at turning symposiums and woodworking shows, I always have small lidded acorn boxes on hand. I ask between $10 and $12 each and have a hard time keeping enough stock to satisfy the demand. Acorns are easy, quick and the designs seem to be infinite.

Whether you want to make them as gifts for friends and family or make them as hot selling craft fair items, you can't miss with acorn lidded boxes.

I show you how I hand chase threaded lids, get a perfect slip fit on another type and even make salt and pepper shakers stylized like acorns.  My favorite is the acorn miniature birdhouse ornament which can also double as a small gift box.

Turning Toys
with Richard Raffan

Most woodturners have children in their lives who would appreciate a hand-turned toy (or several). The projects in Turning Toys can serve as a base for almost limitless variation, so you can put your own stamp on each object you create. Repetition is the key to mastering any craft, so these projects are in part skill-builders that you can repeat and thereby hone your turning techniques. You can get plenty of practice when small kids can’t have too many peg dolls, things on wheels, or arches for creating buildings, farmyards, and so on. You’ll see ways of salvaging a situation when things go wrong, as they inevitably do when you have a catch or the wood splits. Disasters become design opportunities. The video will show you what to do, step-by-step; you’ll see exactly how the tools are used, how the cutting edge should relate to the surface you’re cutting, and how to stand to support and hold the tools so that working at your lathe is a comfortable and pleasurable activity.
