I learned a lot of what I know from The New Yankee workshop. As good as Norm is, you're a step above.

I’ve watched this half a dozen times. And the skew looks so easy to use. But I know it’s your skill and experience that makes it look that way. Amazing.

I really like the efficiency of your turning. Watching you is like watching a textbook unfold...or one of those films we used to have at school 'For Schools'. Remember? The economy of movement really helps in learning...no faffing around. Excellent. Thanks for posting. I know you urge people not to try your techniques, but you've made me a more confident and better turner by doing just that...trying them out, carefully. All the best.

Your spindle work is ... wow! Man I’ve got a lot to learn. Beautiful tool control. I will study this video in more detail. Thanks for sharing.

A great channel. With not even got to the stage of staring in wood turning this has been a real insight in how a professional works. What makes things better is real time, no chuck and on a lot of the videos soft woods. Thanks again to you and Mike who gave you a mention.

Your skew is poetry in motion. Thanks for the video

Beautiful work

Thankyou for the lesson Steve. I came over for Mike's shout out and subscribed.Cheers Roger Barossa Valley South Australia..🇦🇺

I really enjoyed watching you turn this gavel/block. Thanks for sharing!

That's some impressive skew work, efficient and elegant. Steve Krumanaker

Great Video Thanks

Beautiful work your skill with the skew is next to none Very enjoyable turning

Beautiful work Steve as ever.

Hi Steve, A true Maestro. Regards Paul

Amazing work. Thumbs up.

Your skew work is amazing. a pleasure to watch

I have learned a bit just watching you, great work! I haven't seen that precise work with a skew chisel. It seems I have a lot to learn. I tend to make heavier gavels, from exotic woods, but I think I can incorporate some of your techniques. Thank you!

woodturner21,excellent demonstration,thank you............

You are a true craftsman making the tooling look so easy All the best Ed

Hey Steve, great tool control and a thoroughly enjoyable video. Good skills buddy, i'm going to try this when i get home, greetings from the Middle East.

You are so skillful!

This was a very well done project. You've got quite the talent there. I think I'll have to attempt to do this project soon. I have a friend who is running for county judge.

WOW !!! That skewing was brill , got a job for a gavel so looked on y-tube ,,glad I found your channel ,,subscribed there and then Regards Alf

I am impressed with your skill and your sharpening, your tools seem polished beyond a grinding wheel, do you hone them on a stone?

la façon dont tu manie la plane est un vrai plaisir pour les yeux.

Quite incredible technique.

As a novice I hope I can achieve your detail. nice work

Beautiful skills I envoy you.

A stunning display of skill and craftsmanship Steve. Your tool control is a joy to behold, a quality that most of us can only aspire to. An excellent video. May I ask whereabouts you live. Take care Mike

Nice mallet. I have a lot to learn still.

Come on man when you going to learn how to use a skew, I could have done that in about a WEEK and 6 pieces of wood 435 kick backs, and one piece of metal in my nose lol. Great work Very nice gavel, I just made one with osage orange took me a whole lot longer.

i know its obvious but i still feel the need to say that ur a master at what you do

that's an amazing turn! I've been asked to make my own gavel. filming today... 3rd time lucky! great skills. I've subscribed

Very nice. Thank you.

Top drawer!

Wonderful!

Great Job I seen your post on face book and fallowed it to your KZfaq channel I was already subscribed :) Great Job !

How did you deal with the wood screw hole in the bottle

Satisfying Dude, probably take me half a day to make :( TFS, G :)

I have a cheap craftsman skew that is really hard to get an edge on, therefore will not cut, Is there a company in the USA that sells the Ashley Ailes skew?

now this man can turn,,,,,, ace

What do you use as a gauging tool to hit the OD on the tenon? Is that just some flat stock you grind a notch in? Love watching you work thanks!!

Wow!!!!

Excellent work and especially skew chisel technique. Crap music.

Excellent great job, many people say, the tool makes perfect, but you fucked up that rule. You do wonders with a couple of tools, congratulations master
