Kip will demonstrate several principles involved in producing a clean cut while turning wood. He will also show simple yet effective techniques for developing muscle memory for making basic turning cuts. This session will help beginning turners jump-start their skills and help intermediate turners move to the next level more efficiently. It will also contain useful information for those interested in teaching others how to turn wood. The demonstration will combine information from two of Kip’s articles published in the American Woodturner, including: The Scales and Chords of Spindle Turning (Feb. 2017), and Ten Principles of Clean Cutting (Feb. 2016).
