Makes it look effortless!

My experience with a skew has been a little different than that.  Grin

Not sure why full screen doesn't work here any more, so have to go to You Tube to watch it there. Woodturner 21 is also excellent with a skew. Like this turner, the 'pros' tend to have a skew that is ground with little sweep to the cutting edge, so more square across the top rather than swept back...

I've been doing some skew work this past couple of weeks and have found that high speeds >2400rpm and the flat skew works well for me.

Wish they'd tell what speed they're running at.

Glenn,

At about 30 seconds in there is a subtitle that says he's turning at 1600 rpm and an Ashley something, something.
