Great instructional video. Matt has a very quirky/nerdy sense of humor. I can relate. 😂 Thanks.

You said it Matt.... "That is pretty cool!" Thank you for the great class on turning a top.

I really like these videos with Matt. He has such a calm, patient demeanor; it's very enjoyable watching him. Really good at instructing how to use the skew as well.

What a great teacher! You're the first guy in a long time that I actually stopped the video and went back a few minutes to watch again. This was great!

PACKED with good tips and you had me rolling with the, “one last cut really just means 5 more.” Felt that. 😂

Coolest top I have ever seen! Great job Matt. I was getting nervous with each "one more cut" Thanks for demonstrating this for us.

That is an amazingly interesting grind on Matt's tools. I love the skews that I have. I have 2 from CraftSupplies USA. But they are both ground with a traditional grind. Took some practice and I would have said I was proficient until I saw these latest 2 videos from Matt. Wow. Definitely something to aspire to! Do you sell tools with this grind? I for one would be interested in buying one all setup and ready to use as a target for future sharpening. In addition what I think would be amazing would be a video from Matt on how he sharpens them. @5:07 you can see the took basically flat in the bottom right-hand corner. That bevel is wild looking to my untrained eye. I doubt my ability to re-create it from scratch. Seems like a fun challenge to level up in using the skew. A great video. Well done!

We don't have any skews with Matts custom grind. I'm sure if you reach out to Matt, he would give you the specs on his grind. His site is monacobowls.com

Very nice, a beautiful piece. On the tool rest I though than you only need to be a wide as work is. Also what are part numbers for skews so I can order them. Thanks for a great information video.

Do you hone your skews or use them straight from the grinder? I appreciate how sharp they are. 👍🏼

These were straight off the grinder with a 180 grit CBN wheel. 😊

Is using one hand as a steady rest, to reduce vibration a recommended practice for someone who is roughly a novice in skill level? Or is that something that can be quite dangerous and recommended only for highly skilled professionals?
@radwansoueidan6390Ай бұрын
I would say become very familiar with your skew chisel first (all sizes) to understand all of the different catches that can happen. Once you really have a good understanding of that naturally your instincts will stop you from continuing through a risky cut. I would recommend to keep using your skew traditionally, the benefit of using your hand to stabilize the blank won’t outweigh getting a nasty slice in the palm of your hand! Ive had the skew snatched out of my hand when truing the endgrain long point down on small workpieces, scary to think what would have happened if my other hand was resting below, I only use my hand to stabilize the outside of large thin bowls because the gouge rests inside the interior creating some separation

Yaaay!! Thank you for the demonstration. Skew is my favorite tool. I just need to get better with it. Your video is an inspiration Questions on the skews: what kind of holding system are you using in the handles? Why do you use a holding system instead of "fixed" handles for each skew?
@CraftSuppliesUSAАй бұрын
He uses the Robust tools collet handle system, mostly for when he travels as they're more compact.

@fern6114 = Troll. Although essentially, that comment could be known as "skew envy", or just envy (a very commonplace theme in some woodturning circles) the next time I demonstrate personally, I may just stare confused, yet passionately into the void cross-eyed, while saying nothing; most namely to remind myself that trying really hard at ensuring to not do anything proficiently - perhaps just picking at my hair instead, while hoping dearly that you are pleased with seeing little to no efficiency of a tool being used ought be more virtuous. - Just an opinion my friend.
