W048 Try Your Hand at Chatter Work on the Wood Lathe

Have you ever wanted to create a special and unique finish on your turned parts to make it stand out from the crowd? Take a look at this technique presented by Dick Sing. This technique, called chatter turning, uses what normally would be a bad problem (chatter) and turns it into a very attractive accent on turned parts.

I have watched quite a number of videos on using a chatter tool. This is by far the most comprehensive and well explained. I cannot believe they are only a few comments. Some woodworkers I’m really missing out. Thank you again.

Hi Joe, Thanks for the feedback. I have been trying to promote these videos and can't seem to get an audience, not sure why not. There are a lot of resources here but not very many people seem interested. If you can, please help spread the word about this channel, perhaps we can bring more people in.

I have the exact same lathe that he was using.

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Good lathe to use.
Cheers!
Chris

I'm in my early stages of turning and these videos are simply the best.
Thanks soooo much

What is this tool? I am very interested. Thank you. And can it be bought somewhere?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi CodlFaaic,
Look at your favorite turning tool supplier, the tool is called a "Chatter Tool". There are several different brands available.
Cheers!
Chris

TH-cam before TH-cam.

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Thanks!

[@sethwarner2540]

Are you contacting the wood with the tip, or the sides?

[@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut]

Hi Sethwarner2540,
Unfortunately, I filmed Dick doing that 20 years ago, I can't remember that sort of detail. My guess would be that it is the tip.
Cheers!
Chris
