20 years ago your books and videos were in a league of their own. Great to see you’re now spreading your expertise on KZfaq.

Amazing, helpful video. This is the only site where you can safely give it the thumbs up before you even start watching it!

Dear Richard, what an exceptional demonstration. I started turning at 71 without having the chance to learn initially with a master. Your videos and explanations are absolutely remarkable: I have improved all my turnings trying to apply your knowledge. For Christmas I did try to practice my skews turning two dozens of decorations, emptied balls and finials. I now know better how to improve their use. Grinding does remain difficult for me but some videos by Tomislav have given me more confidence in grinding.

Brilliant video today!. The different camera angles were very helpful. Thank you for doing these videos for us.

Great lesson here Richard, I’m learning loads from your measured, clear and robust instruction. Thanks for giving us lesser mortals your time.

Thanks for the concise no nonsense delivery of the information very easy to understand,yet to get a skewed chisel will save this video for when I own such a tool.

Your way of explaining the concepts is perfect, very detailed and extremely clear. I learned more with this video than in the last 30 I've watched on others channel.

Learning so much, one of the few wood turners on youtube where I feel I want to get a notebook out for notes

An absolutely excellent lesson on using a skew. Thank you so much for taking the time to put together this class in using the skew chisel for grooves, peeling cuts, planing and shear cuts. Thank you so very much.

I get so excited every time I see a new upload of yours, Richard. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Richard, I used a videotape for my Scrooge chisels almost 20 years ago. I made it for now and I still think your way is the best. Thank you.

Thank You for sharing , Every time I watch your video I learn something or refreshed my thinking .

Great tips on how to use the points and edges. Now for me it's just practice, practice, practice and more practice. Keep the tool edges sharp. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe. Did I mention, put in a lot of practice.🙂🙂

Love that you show what NOT to do as well as what to do.

Thank you for being meticulous in your explanation of the reason for the catch on the vee groove. I shall be better prepared later today to give it a go!

Looking pretty good for being out of practice for 20 years. Thank you for the lesson, now out to the shop and practice, practice, practice.

Very helpful demo, thanks so much. You always teach and inspire me, all the best in 2024 Richard.

Currently studying at a furniture school in Scotland. Had trouble with the Skew since I picked one up. Just turned 3 pieces of square stock into nice and smooth cylinders. Excellent video. Thank you.

I've been scared of this blasted tool for so long that I'm not even sure where my chisel is. It's time to dig it out and try again. Thanks for such a clear explanation!

The one tool I've struggle with. Now I'll do some practice cuts using your techniques. Thank you Richard.
