    Bill, those are neat! But, the best part of the whole thing was a father/daughter duo - GREAT!! I think the two of you may have a future in the entertainment business.

    Yes, That's Kip of Kip and Rex fame

    The video clip is from one of their DVD, Woodturning Projects Volume I. If you're not familiar with this series of videos, I suggest you check them out. There are, currently, four DVDs in the series.

    Just FYI, volume I includes the following projects:

    • Bud Vase
    • Christmas Ornament
    • Green Bowl
    • Spinning Top
    • Wall Clock
    • and, Curly Fries (using real potatoes)

    Honestly I think they've got something there. Anyone remember the hand crank apple pealers? Something similar would be a great idea for potatoes. I'd much prefer that over slicing up and putting on the BBQ.

    Not as easy as it looks!

    So I tried this with my wife last weekend. It's not as easy as it looks for the novice turner. It was a huge mess! But we had fun, and they tasted good after cooking them in a skillet with a little olive oil.
