A master at his craft is a joy to behold.

[@woodturner21]

Thank you

[@MyGrowthRings]

Very well done. I turned a couple finials that were quite similar to this design, but they were 2 feet tall and were installed on gazebos in a park in Dayton, Ohio. Your delicate touch after producing the tenon is impressive. Scott

[@woodturner21]

Thank you. Roof finials are a regular job for me but the normally go on the apex of roofs here.

[@paulbanks8583]

Really nice video and excellent explanation of of why your doing it as you are 👍

[@thefish5861]

You’re back!

[@woodturner21]

Sorry for the delay I just don’t seem to find the time for these. I must try harder. 😁

[@thomassellers7613]

Excellent work! It’s been ages since we saw you! Thanks for sharing, keep it up!

[@GavSedae]

Very nice work. Did you ever imagine that there is nearly 20,000 people that would like to watch what you do for a job??

[@woodturner21]

Thank you, no it amazes me the amount of interest in it.

[@GavSedae]

@@woodturner21 I'm 39 and found woodturning kind of by accident. It has helped me in a many ways. Watching production turners and having a few virtual lessons from Robbo in Australia has helped me improve my skills. I hope to keep the craft alive because in my opinion, it is art

[@woodturner21]

Robbo is a great tutor. Good on you.

[@hfbowerndesigns810]

Thanks for sharing, Steve. A great lesson and explanation Take care Cheers Harold

[@woodturner21]

Thank you

[@robertcornelius3514]

No doubt the skew leaves the best surface on wood. Just lately I have been trying the Russian knife (skew) and find it extremely useful on my turning projects.

[@gavjav1]

Superb work Steve 👏😎

[@woodturner21]

Thank you

[@leroy5007]

Absolutely awesome🙏

[@woodturner21]

Thank you

[@edwardchapman1914]

Nice work Steve, I was wondering on tiny smaller beads do you ever use the toe of the skew?

[@woodturner21]

Thank you. Yes, I do. It doesn’t really matter but sometimes the toe can give easier access.

[@ef2b]

I find it challenging to copy curves like this. I can't figure out if the problem is needing to train my eye or train my hands. Any thoughts based on how you learned? Did you draw or do something to train your eye? I know I need to develop better tool control, but it also feels like I just don't "know the shapes" in my brain. Am curious if that rings a bell with you for back when you were training? Thank you for sharing your work with these videos.

[@woodturner21]

I learned by doing a production turners apprenticeship so learnt by constant repetition of shapes.

[@holmangs]

I ‘ve missed your posts.

[@woodturner21]

Sorry I struggle to find time to post on KZbin but I’ll try to post more often.

[@barkebaat]

I don't know if you'll be reading this but I have a question : I have a small Record lathe (and it is big enough for the spindles and chair-legs I want to turn) BUT the tool rest that came with the machine is rubbish (even to my beginner's eyes). It's too narrow, the shape feels wrong and the metal is too soft. I will make a new, wider and better one. Do you have any tips ? How do you like your tool rests ?

[@woodturner21]

I have many different tool rests and as long as the top is fairly narrow slightly rounded and smooth it’s good
