I totally agree with the sentiment. Practice regularly. It seems like most of us forget that after we "grow up". :) Happy holidays!

+Barry's Workshop Yes, it is important. As woodturners we all want to "make" something now. I actually turn what I call prototypes. Just to go through the process. I have them all over the shop. These are things I would not put my name on or sell. I make them out of cheap wood. Thanks Sam

Sam, I enjoyed your excellent video and your excellent skew work. Thanks for sharing. When I want to part off a delicate spindle at the tail stock end, I move the tailstock away and hand hold the spindle while parting. Also, try a 1/4" or 3/8" round skew for rolling small beads. They are much easier than either a larger skew of a detail gouge. Doug Thompson sells the round stock; you'll have to grind your own skew. Merry Christmas.

Richard Raffan has been a source of inspiration to me as a novice turner, too.

Sam I learned a lot from your spindle i don't practice enough yesterday i did my first spindle in years and it was real raged I needed a new mallet turned it from dogwood heavy dense wood finely got her done but it was done for the first part i felt awkward normally i do bowls the mallet was a challenge for me an expert like you doing a practice just made me see how a person must practice just for the fun of it have a merry Christmas sir

+Tom Palmer Yes it is all about practice/repetition. Dogwood? We had dogwood trees back in Ohio. Beautiful tree.I understand it is hard and dense. I like to finish a spindle with a skew chisel. It really levels and cleans up a long flat area. Sam

+George Oliver Hey George. I missed you in Billings. Alan Carter was top notch. His work is a little off my wish list of things to turn. But we all learned a lot about creativity and precision. Be safe and have a great 2016. Sam

Nice one Sam. I spent yesterday turing a piece of 4"x 4" oak into nine 14mm diameter 17" long drum sticks for a last minute Christmas present. It was interesting - started very slow and got quicker by the end. I'm never going to be able to make a living hand-turning drum sticks mind you! Still - after a day of learning how to steady a long thin dowel I think I'm ready to try one or two of Richard's Ego Sticks. Been meaning to for a while. Many thanks for reminding me and giving such of good demo of how it's done. A pleasure to watch as ever.

I've just tried a couple and my hat's off to you. By gum they're hard! The second one I did is better than the first but it's going to take some time to master! Your demo looks even more impressive now I've given it a go. Impressive stuff :-)

Practice can be fun! I have never been able to get comfortable supporting the piece with my left hand, so I use a string steady. Wish I could get the kind of results you do!Merry Christmas!

+Gerald Jensen I have never made or used a string steady. I usually back up a very thin finial for a hollow form with a finger. I feel it is very safe. You could practice with a pen blank. I like to start with NO tailstock support. Just make a long thin piece and keep making it thinner-into a toothpick. You will reach a point where you need to back up the wood. I would use a grip under the wood with one finger. This support counteracts the force of the tool as well as keeping vibration down. Sam

Great practice video Sam. Something we all need to do more often. What speed do you turn at for a small diameter like that? Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and yours. Fred
