Welcome back
I had so much fun making these video, really in depth on how to use a skew and what can happen, usually means catches and I'll show atleast 10 of those for each type of cut....
I hope that the point of this video will get to beginner turners to let go of the fear of skew as its one of the most used tool in my shop with such a great results....
I wish you all great time in your shop and thank you for supporting my work.
Enjoy

This video should be a mandatory watch for all new turners. I hear so many people talk about how scary the skew is, and how they fear using it... I think they just don't understand it. I primarily turn things in the spindle orientation and my skews are my primary tool. Skew, 3/8" spindle gouge, round and square scrapers, parting tool... Those are all you need, in order of importance.

Thank you so mich for this video. I watched the other video for grinding the skew. I was able to make my first one. Now I need to practice. I agree about the danger of bowl gouge catches. in my early days of turning I had a bad catch and got hit in my face shield.

Tomislav, as someone who has been turning for almost 45 years and viewed probably a 1000 videos and demonstrations at shows and competitions I gotta tell you that was the best tutorial I have ever seen on the use of the skew chisel. I am only saddened by the fact that I live 1/2 way around the earth (Philadelphia USA) away from you and cannot take a class from you. I would echo the comments below whole heartedly.

Excellent video. This is one of the best skew videos I have seen and really appreciate the detail you provided. You broke this down into easily understood basics that were very helpful. I think the thing about skews that scares people off is that catches tend to be dramatic -- as you point out, they aren't dangerous (except to the workpiece) but the drama associated with a catch can really get a person's attention.

Its just practice, whenever you have spindle work,grab a skew and off you go... Don't use to much of scrap wood as there is something in using good timber or even better a complete project as it will mean more to you and you'll try not to mess it up... 😀

Excellent demonstration and explanation! I see many Facebook posts by new turners. I always refer them to you and Richard! I will watch this many times. It looks like on V cuts, the handle stays perpendicular to the wood, and on beads, it ends up perpendicular as well. That might be where I have gotten into some trouble. Thank you again for your patient manner of teaching. You demonstrate finesse, but I guess that has to come from experience.

@peterhase1045 5 ай бұрын

very nicely explained. One thing from my experience is, that you can use the upper part of the edge for planing while having the skew competely supportet on the toolrest as long as you stay away from the very tip of the edge (some of the catches you showed were the upper corner catching, not the unsuported edge, as you still had the skew flat on the toolrest).

Mate, I think I have watched every skew tutorial on YT twice over, but you have just unlocked a new tool to me, I had so many failures with the skew, I am now confident to pick it and really go for it, loving this recent group of tool videos, if you have time I’d love to see your approach to a toothpick box, stay safe mate👊

Great lesson on skew use. If I may add some hard earned advice it is that it is essential to relax when using the skew. People new to it are often anxious and as a result tense up and grip the tool like thier life depends on it. RELAX guys. A very light grip. Drop your shoulders and chill out. Every so often stop and drop those shoulders again because they will be tensing up. Doing this gives much better control with your right hand and if/when you get a catch it won't dig in nearly as much as if you had a tight grip.

I forget who i was watching a few years ago, but it was an old guy. Batty? Thats what im remembering. He had an old video, looked like it was made in the 70s or 80s lol. He said to intentionally get catches for a few hours, on a lower speed. I did that. It was scary AF at first, but i eventually learned how to get a catch, and how to not get a catch. This is a good video, too. Very informative

Have watched several other videos about skew use. Yours are very well detailed with repetition that helps reinforce the techniques. A pleasure to watch. You mentioned earlier in the video some "masters" of the skew. Are they on youtube also--I missed their names.

I think only Steve Jones, woodturner21 on KZfaq has a channel, and Richard Findley has a Instagram account

Truly the best teaching tutorial on the skew I've seen! Thank You. Was wondering what the best or safest lathe speed is? Thanks.

Thank you very much, these is no perticular speed that is safest, I'll accually do a video on this topic as well ,there are formulas out there on speed however I go by what specific blank and lathe is telling ... I'll try to explain that more in video 😀

Hope you will do some long finials. A friend told me his mentor told him that spindle ratio for no vibration/harmonic 'whipping' action was 10 to 1. 1 inch diameter and 10 inches long and you will get almost no vibration. Go longer and it will start to vibrate. I do need to spend more time with the skew...

Another very nice and instructive video. What was that last blank made of, it had an interesting grain. Walnut? Thanks once more!

Its ash but I saved it from mulch in the mulching yard, so it got extremely nice colors.... Something similar would be on your plates

Thank you for time that you are investing in tutorial, as usual your explanations can not be more loud and clear then that. Now, hopefully, i will be able to stop practicing catches 😉and start doing nicer job on my spindle works.

Thank you, like with anything, its just about practice and repetetive work.... Make a comitment to make for family or coworkers some ornaments using skew and soon you'll have nice results🤗
