The skew is not scary it is just misunderstood. lol Seriously in this video we walk through severl cuts you can so with the skew and how they work. Anyone can use the skew successfully once you understand what to do and practice the cuts. Thanks for Watching

I love how you make thing so clear and easy to understand. And you do in a respectful way. I have heard that covering a log or green wood in sawdust will help a lot to keep it from cracking.

@jarmstrong2843 2 года назад

I have been slow to using the skew. Last time I used it I got a horrible catch and destroyed a turning. But, I realize practice makes perfect.

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

practice and use scrap wood or a limb.

@hanstenhave3352 Год назад

When I first started turning, the skew was exiled to the remote corner of the shop. Now, Ive started to learn it. I appreciate your approach. Thanks for pointing out the problems associated with thin skews and vibration. That answered some pressing questions. I've got a thicker skew on order now.

@plantsmanscorner128 7 месяцев назад

Thank You Dean…..I have applied your practice method to some old dry copper beech here in England……my ability is improving though my language is not when the point catches. I am just getting into your videos, so much I’ve not been making any on my own channel for some months. Turning is new and exciting (even to a retired nurseryman) whereas growing trees feels boring now. Your view in practice is very good advice. Many thanks and best wishes…..Malcolm (Plantsmans. Corner)

@carsonwells1785 Год назад

Wow! Thank you. It was all helpful, but probably the most helpful tidbit I gleaned was lining up the bevel for the end cut. Being RU-vid and self taught, I had been going straight in and as you pointed out my cut had been walking in the direction of the bevel. I love using the skew, but I just can't always get the cut I want with it. You have helped. Again, thank you.

Very helpful, sir! I've been turning for a few years, but I've never used my big Jimmy Clewes skew for more than about .25 seconds because that's how long it takes for me to get a profound catch. I think this is just the comforting instruction I need to try again. Thanks, Dean!

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

Glad to help, Thanks for Watching!!!

@joshblumenthal4873 2 года назад

Dean, at about 15:30 you recommend learning to round off with either hand and I can't agree any more strongly. It always surprises me how few turners work with either hand because there are always times it's easier to reach a spot with the other hand. I've worked with both hands for many years. Taught my grandson to throw with either and kick a ball with either left or right. It is only a matter of practice. I've also found that learning to do something on my off side often improves my work on my usual side because it forces me to be aware of my motions as I transition. Great tip, even if just an aside to the skew lesson.

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

you and I see that the same why limit yourself. Thanks for Watching!!!

@glencrandall7051 2 года назад

Yes, the skew is a very good tool and yes, it is tough tool to learn. You have given a very good over view on it's use. Your best tip is to practice, practice, practice. When demonstrating the diamond hone you said if you do it correctly you would never have to "sharpen again". I think you meant to say you would never have to "grind again". The use of the diamond hone is sharpening. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

Very True

@jackwebb8749 2 года назад

I'm just watching this video in June because I just bought a new Henry Taylor rounded edge skew. My old skew was ok for a peeling cut but i could never make a planing cut with it. My first try with this new skew was much better. I'm going to have to practice with it more, but at least I can't blame the tool any more. I'll be practicing. Enjoyed the video, stay safe!

@kennethcaine3402 8 месяцев назад

Very good video from a very good teacher. You made so many Great Points on using the skew so I want to comment on only one and that was when you used the diamond hone. When we sharpen on a grinder we have a round stone that will make a concave grind on each side of the skew, so when the skew gets dull all we have to do is like you did and take a stone of your choice and hone each side and like you said keep that stone on the cutting edge and the back edge and you can have a sharp tool. I know you covered this but there are a lot of people that think you have to grind again. Keep teaching and thanks for sharing

Thanks for the information. I have that wood river skew, which it sounds like that might be part of the trouble I'm having. Do you have suggestions on brands? I have bought a Robert Sorby spindle gouge, are they an ok brand?

@scottsimpey2965 2 года назад

A lot of great information Dean. How do you have your tool rest set as far as height goes when you are using your skew’s?

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

Scott normally I have it slightly above center when using the Skew. Thanks for Watching!!!

@ianpayne3194 2 года назад

Hi Dean, great video yet again and thank you. Just a couple of questions for you please 1. What rpm is your lathe while you use the skew? 2. do you have the tool rest on, just below or just above centre? Many thanks.

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

1. I don't know I don't have a read out and pay very little attention to speed, sorry 2. I suggest the the tool rest be above center. Thanks for Watching!!!

@lawrencelunsford6028 2 года назад

Good video Dean. My first skew was an Sorby 3/4" oval. Wish I'd never bought it. Because of the oval design I can't hold it true on my sharpening jig (Wolverine). I bought some other non-oval skews and I'm able to sharpen them, but I'm losing the skew angle from heel to toe. I'm happy with my bevel angle, but now my heel to toe are almost straight across. Most turner videos show how to sharpen bowl gouge, roughing, etc. but not much detail on sharpening skews properly. I feel like I have the proper equipment (Wolverine, slow speed grinder, CBN wheels) but lack the knowledge to sharpen skews properly. Any advice would be welcomed and appreciated.

@DeansWoodworking 2 года назад

it sounds like you have a long handle on the skew remember to hold it way off to one side when sharpening. That will put the skew back in the skew. Thanks for Watching!!!

@archiehebron8944 11 месяцев назад

I think you meant Stuart, right?

@craftsmanwoodturner 3 месяца назад

I disagree with you about the 1/4 inch skew. On the 1 inch skew, you are meant to cut with the lower part of the edge, so the tool remains supported below the cut, with no twisting forces. The 1/4 inch skew lets you cut with any part of the edge with no more twisting forces than on the 1 inch tool. The wood can't tell how wide the tool is, just how much of the edge is cutting. Try it, it is incredibly forgiving! No idea why you say it has a small sweet spot.
