Steve Jones Demonstrating the Skew Chisel

A real speed demonstration of what the skew is capable of. I hope you enjoy it and if you can stick with it and see the small details at the end well done!

[@garsonprice3441]

This takes the prize for The Best Woodturning Video On The Web, Steve. I love to watch your talent and appreciate you sharing all your videos. They are a wonderful training course. Salute!

[@woodturner21]

Thank you I appreciate your kind words

[@jayscott306]

You have done the world a great service with this video! Thank you for inspiring me to become even more skilled with my favourite turning tool.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you

[@davidkent885]

Steve, it’s wonderful to see you working again! Your undoubted mastery of the skew is a joy to watch! Very inspirational! If you have time I’m sure we would all love to see more projects. Thank you again!

[@woodturner21]

Thank you and I’ll try to do more but it is hard to find the time.

Seeing a demonstration up close and in real-time speed is very helpful. Thank you.

You completely amaze me with your skill with a skew. Thanks again for sharing!

[@woodturner21]

Thank you

[@cooperken11]

That’s exactly what people need to see. Way too many people are scared of the skew and it’s spreading. I’m always telling club members to look you up so please please please list more of your work, the turning community needs to be inspired and challenged by great work and technique like this.

[@monopinionestcelle-ci6650]

I conquer, learning the skills with a particular tool is a fondamental video that the woodturners are looking for to master the skills

[@woodturner21]

Thank you I’ll try to list more but it’s time that’s my problem

[@cooperken11]

@@woodturner21 I appreciate that. The problem down here in Australia is that turning is dying in the trades and people like yourself are becoming a rarity and the knowledge and technique being passed on is getting dumbed down. I hope it’s not the same in England.

[@woodturner21]

Sadly the same is happening here.

[@CrimeVid]

You could look up Allan Batty and Alan Lacer (Masters) never mind old Raffan !

[@robertopasquini9776]

you are definitively a master my friend. I am impressed by how firmly is your left hand during the whole procedure. Is a great lesson for me, thank you!

[@laurencebugeja4160]

Surely you are the skew master I really enjoyed your dedication of your work which surely will helps a lot how one can use the skew. Well done Steve and thanks very much for sharing your experience with us thanks.

I've seen some wood turning in my time but this has got to be the most amazing and so close to the limit that I've watched. That scew chisel is incredibly sharp hence the fine work. Great video mate 👍🏽 👌

I think I have watched all your videos. Your experience shows. Thank you for sharing them. Helps to see what can be done in a short time. Time seems to be such a lost value to most. Sure would like to see a bowl of 6 inches or bigger turned.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you, I don’t post my bowls as there are many others that do and mine are no different. Check out Glenn Lucas for some excellent bowl videos

[@trahtrebor]

Interesting. I'd not have thought these cuts could be done with just a skew. Very nice demonstration. I saw another video recently that showed me where I was screwing up to keep making catches. Now I should be able to put that understanding with this knowledge and get back to using my skew properly. Thank you very much for a target to reach for.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you for your kind words and enjoy the journey

Hi Steve, I have just found you on YT after not having turned anything for a few years due to work getting in the way. I used to follow you on twitter until I fell out with it and I just loved your skill. I am so glad I have found your YT channel and can watch the Master at work again. I do hope that you are still doing what you do best and enjoying it. I have subscribed and will keep a keen eye on your channel. Thanks for sharing Steve and keep up the great work. FromTheLog…

[@changefortanzania]

You are by far the best person I've seen with a skew. The only person I know who comes close is now deceased. His name was Rick Reeves and he made over 10000 spinning wheels in the manor colonies in Iowa. I watch your video many times to learn from it.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you I have 80,000 hours experience so that helps and coming from a family of woodturners for 300 years also gives me a head start on most.

Love your work Steve, truly refined skills and a joy to watch. Please keep the videos coming. I’ve just sent your video to a friend who does not trust the skew and won’t even turn a bead with it, I added a warning that parental guidance is recommended because some scenes may shock some viewers.

FANTASTIC!!! Sir, you've just demonstrated to all those wannabee skew "experts" on KZbin with their hour long videos what REAL skill is. If a novice watches your videos closely they can learn so much more than any long winded droning video by some called experts sporting huge skews that can resemble a machede. Please, keep showing us how to properly use the skew. All this and it's free for the viewing. Unlike others, you are a true MASTER WOODTUNER and not a chisel or lathe salesman in disguise.

Steve your videos have been an inspiration to me. I have gained so much confidence with the skew and it is primarily because I watched and rewatched your videos. So many practical projects and of course these practice projects are exceptional to see the techniques and skills needed. Do you do live demonstrations for clubs ? Have you considered doing a live Zoom meeting for clubs? I am in Edmonton Alberta, Canada.
