Is there any one better than this man with a skew !!! Absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!!!!

I've never seen anyone as skilled with a skew as yourself, including a lot of famous turning turning names. Amazing and daunting demonstration, especially the cove cuts which were absolutely amazing!!

You make it look like the only tool you need for woodturning

You can ramble on all you want to, Mate I'll be pleased to listen to it all day long, and so will anyone else that appreciates your videos.

Make no apologies for rambling on when you are not rambling on at all. Amazing skill and I am happy you share your knowledge here and in the Woodchuckers group!

Thanks for sharing. I do love watching you use the skew, and indeed all your videos'

Fantastic Video ! So many years of experience in just about 7 minutes ! Learnt a lot !

Such a complete pleasure to watch Steve. Thanks also for sharing your extensive knowledge and techniques. Take care Mike

Beautiful work. I love the ease you have in making your different cuts. Great video. Thanks

Ran across this again, had to watch. Your mastery still amazes me.

I have just watched a master of the skew, thank you for sharing.

The skew is very versatile. It makes an excellent paint can opener!

If I hadnt just seen it I would not have believed someone could use a skew with such precision and speed. Im new to woodturning and hope I can gain just 10% of your skill. thanks for the video.

I have watched this a dozen times and I am still fascinated with your skills!

brilliant, professional, amazing, and awesome as always work Steve

Really impressing video...been watching it now half a dozen times and still enjoy it to the fullest. Thanks a million for sharing!

Thank you this is the best skew chisel video that I have seen to date. Your technique is excellent.

Great video. I'm still trying to master the skew and watching this shows just how versatile it is.

I knew to this wood turning thing however the skew is rapidly becoming my favourite chisel. Thanks for this vid I look forward to watching many more.

absolutely stunning craftsmanship. many thanks for sharing. Would love to see more of your work

Excellent presentation, I truly enjoy your videos which have inspired me to practice and become more comfortable with using the skew.

Very nice Steve, the skew is my security blanket, but nothing like your skills. You are truly amazing to watch.

Absolutely brilliant! A true craftsman showing the versatility of the skew. Now if only you could wrap up all that great knowledge and teach the rest of us :). As always a pleasure to watch

Just started woodturning but the skew chisel is definitely my favourite chisel, such a versatile chisel. Great demonstration video, very encouraging.

Steve, always a pleasure to watch your work, but this time I'd like to say thank you for the time you've taken to show some of your skills with the skew, and the narration which makes it so much more understandable.

Man its a pleasure to watch you with a skew. Because of your videos my skew has went from the yard, where I threw it in frustration, to being my favorite lathe tool. While im no where close to your level I am very happy with my ever improving skew skills.

Sir you have a talent on that skew. You make it look so easy but I know that years of practice helps. Thanks for sharing.

Steve, you should tour the world giving wood turning demonstrations. You would be in great demand. Great video and thanks for showing it.

Fabulous as always! A great demo.

This is a work of art! Your skilful hands shape the wood with such ease. I'm recently introduced to woodworking and will love to see more videos from you on using the skew. Thanks for sharing

That was absolutely fantastic. Your skill with that chisel is amazing. If I could get to be half as good as you, then I will be a happy chap.

Your skills are unbelievable. I have been trying the skew for the past few weeks and just now I am able to do a planning cut. Wonderful!

I really want to have another go at woodturning because it's so satisfying

Evidently many years of experience! May be the most skilled I've seen! Thanks for sharing your craft! You inspired me to repurpose a scraper into a skew and watching you has helped tremendously!

Thank you for sharing that with us. It was excellent.

Like a magician! Love your videos

Well done! I just picked up wood turning and I have been experimenting with the skew. Inspiring for sure!

well for me that 'was' a tutorial! Absolutely fab! Thank you. I can't manage to get those beautiful long ribbons yet but at least I'm not getting dust - and I'm getting a clean finish.

A great demonstration. Thanks for sharing

Wow!!! I feel I'm doing well when I get a nice planing cut - I see I've got more practice to do. Thanks for the gr8 video and inspiration.

You had a catch? Wow, thanks so much for sharing that. I really had no idea of the breadth of capability of the skew. It will definitely affect the way I learn about it. Your 37 years won’t go away with you.

Very well done. I've watched it a few times and learn more and more each time. Thank You for your time and videos. The tooth pick was absolutely genius. After you sharpened it up, I says to myself "put some embellishment on it", low and behold as if I was a heckler in the audience you put the finishing touch to it, personalized to boot. Fabulous. Hope you don't mind but some day I will try this. Tooth Picks are big in Texas. Great videos !

Excellent as always Steve.

I can't remember how many times I've watched this video Steve, it's bread and butter to you, but fascinating for me! :D

Thanks for recording this. I don't think I've ever seen a skew chisel used in a "pull" cut (backward/forward) @ 4:15! WOW

master level of wood turning!

A wealth of experience and a pleasure to watch someone so competent at their work. So often KZfaq videos are full of how to's by people who literally have just figured out how to do something. And have none of the finesse that a true craftsman has, yet possess more than their fair share of bravado and arrogance. Thanks for the video!

I have just started turning in the last year. Thank you for this video. I spend a long time at the lathe, to achieve, what you have shown in seven minutes.

I always enjoy your demonstrations, and that is what I think about that one☺ Júlíus

A joy to watch as ever.

Awesome turning!

A True master love your work

Just starting in woodturning and have seen Davis Batty demonstration of the skew and decided I wanted to perfect the traditional tools ( and master the skew) This demo has reinforced my opinion of a much underated and underused tool.. Now Ive got to practice.... a lot lol.... thank you

Thank you your demo, very kind.

Steve you have inspired me to take up the skew after twenty years of woodturning. Please do a tutorial on the skew many thanks Colin

Pure genius!!! Oh and he s human he does get catches, lol. ;) Just a real pleasure to watch, every time!

A true craftsman/artist.

Very nice video. I much prefer to just see a tool in action than someone talking about it. You make that look very easy!

Wow! That was cool to watch.

This is so satisfying to watch. Gonna go put metal to wood now thanks!!!

It’s amazing to see how you work with one Chisel

Wow! I'm a newbie to turning Steve, and am still trying to do more than 5 or 6 cuts and still keep the wood in the chuck! I've jumped In at the deep end, and the skew is the first tool I'm trying to learn to use simply because of the versatility you and others have have shown. Ok, it will take a lot of time and have accepted there will no doubt be many more times when it may be safer to leave the skew in the drawer, but I don't give up easily and try to learn some of the techniques that you have shown so impressively, well done to you! I am in total awe of your skills, thank you Tony.

I can't believe how easy you make that look, I've been turning for 3 years now but using the skew still fills me with dread. It gives a great finish but catches are so easy and dramatic. I will have to practice more. Great video thanks for posting.👍👍👍

Stunning!

I have had my lathe for 6 weeks now. After a few nasty catches, a few videos watched explaining what was happening the skew is now my go to tool. Still got a long way to go and you have given me some fresh directions.

Amazing skills! Bravo!

Inspirational. Thanks Steve 😊

You didn't ramble on at all! This video is great and left me going to look for more of your vids!

Great video, Steve!

You make it look real easy! :)

Interesting to watch your work!

Thank you for your skill working with wood, it's charge me for a new achievements. Sorry for my poor English...

Well done Thanks for the advise

Thank you for the skew demo

Well done Steve.

That’s what you call skilled.👏👏🇬🇧🇬🇧

very nice mate pure skill!

Thanks so much. Brilliant video. The camera angle was especially helpful. Other videos I've watched were near worthless because you really couldn't see what was happening because of the poor camera angle. With your video I could see exactly what you were doing. Thanks again, Harold.

Pure skill matey...👍👍👍👍

very nice a must watch

Bloody brilliance!!

Wonderful.. really very beautiful and useful vedio 👍

I've been a furniture maker (cabinetmaker) & joiner for 25 years now, but I never learned how to turn. It's a different / separate trade here in Norway so they didn't teach me this at trade school. But these last couple of years I've gotten this urge to make chairs ... stick chairs, maybe even Windsor types, and there are so many beautiful shapes you can make with a lathe, and small, fancy details. So this week I got my first lathe ! The coronavirus has been hard on my small business, so I could only afford the smallest 'toy' model from Record, but I got the extension bit for it to make it long enough to turn table-legs, and I'm sure it will be good enough for me to learn the basics on. I must first build a sturdy bench to mount it on - I've already cleared space in my shop. If there's little payed work I can use my time to learn a new skill, and when I'm too old to shift the heavy planks and big carcasses I can make beautiful chairs :-) Thanks for the video -- I'll check out the rest of your stuff.

That's one great video Steve Thank You from us mere mortals :-)

Master is a master exelent skill thank you for showing us

Very very good, congratulation (I'm from Brazil)

Remarkable! Thank you.

Just amazing! Unbelievable! You're really great professional and artist! Thanks for sharing! Subscribe immediately 👍❤️

Awesome, love it

Master turner !

masterful as ever.

The man is a master

Very skillful

That’s one sharp ass skew

very nice steve

You my friend are a Jedi Master.

That’s some kind of poplar? And the span of the growth rings tells me a very fast-grown tree. In other words very very soft wood. This is more difficult with hardwood. Still this guy is good. Makes it look so easy. Thanks for posting; this vid is going on my list of “watch and learn”!

Stumbled in here by accident and wowsa!

Master!

Maestro. It makes me very happy that the best turner in the world lives in the UK. :-) All the best Steve Regards, Paul
