Great demonstration by a self taught master. Many thanks for sharing. You have set the bar extremely high but given us all the means to achieve it. Best wishes Paul
You make it look too easy! I really struggle with the skew but I keep trying and after watching this video I’ll be applying this to the spindles I’m currently turning. Thank you !
You make it look so easy. I have never used my skew. I guess I just have to get out in the shop and turn some fire wood with it. Thanks for posting this.
That is simply amazing!! And self taught. I'm new to this whole process and utterly impressed with your techniques and teaching skills. Thank you SIR!!!!!
As has been said: you are a great craftsman and clear teacher. I wanted to learn how to do skew cuts and this nailed it! (No more long-screw-like gouges hashed down my pieces!) :-)
How are you using the skew to replace using calipers? I understand that the skew is making V's that are as deep as you want to end up and that you then cut to the depth of the V, but I don't understand how you know how deep to go with the skew and how you get that depth. Are you eyeballing how far you burry the skew tip and doing some math in your head? Beautiful work and very helpful video!
VERY nice video, and fine craftsmanship on display. Have you ever tried beveling your tool rest? Seems you could get the fulcrum quite a bit closer to the wood, but perhaps that's not as good for your technique(?)
And I was thinking that I invented that corkscrew motion. Glad to find out a bit more about how it starts. After it races off over the single, it is hard to remember exactly what happened. Thanks.
Curtis do you have a video showing your wooden tool rest? I think that's a great idea. Do you have different lengths? This video was great in how you move the tool for various shapes.
Beautiful work, excellent teaching, fine photography. It's a pleasure to hear you explain just about as much as to watch the work happening.

Great breakdown of the individual vectors of the chisel movement, thanks!

Well filmed,and demonstrated.Beautifully proportioned, crisp,clean work.
A wooden tool rest? Now that's something I have to try. Thanks for the cutting tips! :)

Wonderfully clear instructions, honest comments and fantastic demo! Can't wait to try it myself. Thanks

Absolutely beautiful work, and a very informative tutorial. Thank you!
You are a great craftsman!
Curtis, You are an Excellent Teacher! Liked & Subbed. Thanks for sharing! Have A Super Blessed Week!..... Gus!
was a spindle gouge used to cut the cove or was it a skew chisel?
The angle this video was recorded at was VERY helpful to me. :)
Thanks
Fantastic- great teaching and beautiful work. Will watch more and recommend.
Good basic technique - very helpful for beginners like myself & much appreciated. Thank you
Curtis, thanks a lot - many, many good tips in this video. I'll be subscribing.
Very good video on the skew with spindle work
Beautiful Work!
Quality teaching, beautiful shape... Thanks
thanks Curtis. I appreciate the detail of your methods. Should make things a little easier when I'm at the lathe.
Fantastic form, great turning... Not sure if I am inspired, or depressed!
Excellent video. Thanks!
Best I have seen . thank you!
A really good video, thanks
Damn! I am impressed.
Brilliant! Thank you.
Awesome!
very good vidéo thanks 👍
very good tutorial; I'll keep trying.................Keith

I've turned a lot of them so I can tell by eyeballing it.

Brad,
Brad, it is beveled but maybe it could use a little more angle.
Thank you for taking the time to make this great video!

I don't have a video showing the tool rest but I will have the plans for it up soon on my website. I have 3 different lengths
@@CurtisBuchananChairmaker Great. I didn't realize you have a web site. Can I get the link? And thanks, Bob

excuse-me what kind of wood do you use?
I'm turning sugar maple
Segmented turnings football
Boy, do I need more practice.
The angle this video was recorded at was not helpful to me.
There does not appear to be any skewness to your skew chisel.
