- Learn how to use a peeling cut with a skew to make tenons and cylinders, as well as shallow tapers, coves, and beads. With a peeling cut, you can remove a lot of material quickly and then come back with "light" peeling cuts to refine the surface, minimizing the need to sand.
Opening tool: Ashley Iles 3/4" Skew
Brian, your instructional videos are the best, you explain the how and the why!
I know I’m a late arrival, but I really appreciate your effort to inform, educate, and entertain people...all at the same time. You’re well spoken, knowledgeable, and fun to watch work. Thank you!
Brian, I love your videos. It's important to me to know the "why" of any given process and you provide that very well. I too like using the skew chisel but I can always get better. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍🏾
Fantastic explanatory video. I liked being able to understand the technical physics as to why the skew is held in a certain orientation. Thank you
I just wanted to thank you again, Brian. I recently made a Morse Taper and used the peeling cut to get a nice, even taper. Also, I re-watched this video again and picked up things that I missed the first time. Great work.
Brian, I really enjoy your teaching techniques and your camera angles and still shots really help. You helped me tweak my skills to make better & cleaner pieces. Thanks for the videos.
As always, an excellent explanation and a very innovative cut technique! Thank you!
Brian, Thank you, Thank you, I watched this a couple of times and went out into my shop and tried it out. What a surprising result I got out fo a piece of Australian Red Gum it hardly needed sanding. this was a great tutorial.
Hi Brian
Was taught to use the skew with one side raised off the tool rest as in a plaining cut,
Could not get consistent results when doing it that way, always a bump or a ridge between very smooth spots.
I tried your pealing cut on a box I was making and could not believe how smooth and flat it was.
Was getting shavings that were like down feathers floating off the wood.
Smooth as a baby’s butt.
Thank you so very much.

A great vid, I have always been apprehensive about using a skew chisel, actually my tool of choice is a bowl gauge I use it for almost everything, a scraper to finish off with. Now with your tutorial I shall practice more with the Skew, Thanks very much
Thanks Brian. I'm self taught and been turning for about a year. Your teaching style makes it all so sensical. You are my no.1 turning teacher. Thanks man.
Very informative and well produced tutorial Brian, lots of good, sound, tips and advice here. Thank you.
Take care
Mike
Excellent tutorial Brian, thanks
Terrific explanation and demonstration of techniques particular to the skew. And your presentations may be the most concise of any on TH-cam. Look forward to watching more. Thanks for the video.
I really appreciate how you explain things. Thanks for posting this.
Fantastic video! Thanks so much for the lesson. I’m new at this so I appreciate a well done and instructive video. ✌🏼
Excellent video, Brian! Thanks for posting.
Wow, that's much faster than my carbide rougher. The peeling cut strikes me as how you would use the skew if you knew nothing about it. It just seems more stable than the other cuts. I may have to buy a skew after this.
Brian
As a novice I found this very informative please keep up the excellent explanations.
Thanks for sharing this. I took this and made my first successful peeling cuts. No real catches, 1small one but more of a skip then a catch. No wood loss. Great video!
Your videos are very interesting. They contain a lot of usefull informations. Good job! Thank you for posting!
Excellent presentation, many thanks, Ricky
Thanks for the comments. I am hoping to do more videos to demystifying the skew. Such a lovely tool with such a bad reputation.
for someone with learnig difficultys , i find this easy to understand. thank you.X
Picked up a Skew and a James Swan Co Spindle Gouge for $8. I need to make a handle for each. Thanks for the very informative video.
Thanks for this very clear presentation.
Excellent video. I am particularly interested because when I started turning 12 months ago I thought that was how you used a skew. When I started, I practised with gouges but I got a poor finish but I soon realised I could clean it up with a skew, flat on the tool rest to reduce sanding. I told some of the amateur woodturners from clubs who told me I was using the skew incorrectly and I should practice planing cuts because planing cuts are the only way to use a skew.
I ignored them and carried on regardless believing the end result was what mattered and not how I used the tools, well within reason I would not use a roughing gouge on a bowl.
thanks

THANKS, BRIAN.
THIS IS GOING TO HELP ALOT.

Great tutorial Brian. Thank you...
Enjoyed your video very much. It was very informative and also very well produced. Thank you!
This is an old video but a good one!You just gave me one step above where I was in my turning! Thanks!
Merci pour cette très belle démonstration !
Amazingly helpful, thank you.
Let me thank you for taking the time to make this video. I have been using a lathe for only a month now, but your videos have been invaluable. I took a three day class and the instructor never even covered the skew. After watching you, I spent an hour with the skew and am now quite comfortable with it. Again, thank you for producing such informative videos.
I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the login password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Lane Reuben Instablaster ;)
@Jimmy Dylan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and im in the hacking process now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Jimmy Dylan WTF IT ACTUALLY WORKED! I literally got access to my ig account within roughly 40 mins by using the site.
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
@Lane Reuben happy to help xD
Thank you greatly!
Truly useful.
Thanks so much for a useful lesson !!! Good luck to you!!!
I really like Allan Batty's excellent videos, and I have found yours very helpful also, so I am going to subscribe. You've given me the courage to take the skew chisel where many fear to take it. I still think I'll be wearing a face guard, though. A skew chisel in the hands of an inexperienced turner can be dangerous.
Very clear and useful explanation - thank you
Thank you ! Will have a go
Great lesson, thanks :)
Thank you Brian👌
Enjoy your teaching videos when are you going to make some more, I miss them.
Thanks for that Brian
I just bought a skew that looks identical to the one you're using here. Eager to get to the lathe and put your instruction to good use. Thank you.
What type of skew is it? I really like the short handle and large length of steel. Looks like it would last a long time.
@@aaronbeltz5973 Your question is a reply to my comment, but it looks like a question for Brian. I buy tools without handles and make long ones for them. I replace short handles with long, fat ones on most tools. I don't remember if my skew came handled or not.
You are really good Brian! Also, you've become so relaxed and natural in your presentations. But, you don't have to hurry quite so much on my account. I find Lathe work as relaxing and try really hard not to bring my work mentality to the lathe with me. Not a criticism, just saying you don't have to hurry on my account...I really like watching you. Your skew skills are very advanced, as you are with all of your lathe tools.
Suggestion; I really like to watch you teach, you're very good at it...but, I, for one, would love to see you do a project either in steps or in separate videos, a project of your liking. I don't know, maybe a CrushGrind Coffee Mill or CrushGrind Salt/Pepper Mills. So that could be some spindle work as "fancy" as you want to get. Or even a chair leg or something. And then, like so many other Turners prefer, maybe you'd prefer to do a Bowl or some kind of Vessel. I really enjoy Spindle work and do mostly spindle work in my retired business...Custom made Fishing Rods. Although I just made a handle for a new Thompson Tools 1/4" Detail/Spindle Gouge. I've learned much from you and used much of what I learned in making that Handle. I used only my Skews. So, thank you!
bons videos estou aprendendo muito grato
I’m trying to figure out the best height for the tool rest for a peeling cut
Thanks for a great video, Brian. Great video and detail or what you're trying to show.
I'm a beginning turner. Your enthusiasm for turning motivates me to learn to use the skew safely.
Is that a 1/2" or 3/4" skew you're using?
Great video! Can you provide and advice or guide lines on tool rest height? I've found that 1/4" can make a real difference but it's still trial and error (mostly error) at this point.Thanks
cпасибо за науку!! лайк!!
very educational
Trying to master the skew and some videos leave me more confused. This was a great instructional video Brian Thank you.. Just one Q the tool rest was set fairly high would this be just for the peeling cut?. Thanks one again
Great video as usual. What is your favorite length for a lathe tool handle? Thanks.
Funny. I never thought about it that the parting cut is actually a peeling cut. thanks
Ppl
Excellent video and think this will help me with what I've been having such an issue with, making straight pieces of wood. I am an absolute newbie, been turning for just a few months but I'm trying to make straight batons for police and martial arts. I've had a hard time 'easily' making exact even surfaces and have relied on the crutch of a ton of sanding. Can't wait to try and practice this. Now for the question you probably were not expecting: What is that lovely mechanical pencil you are using? Looked nice and thick and great for lathe marking.
+Lee Richards That red pencil was made from a Woodcraft Artist's pencil kit: www.woodcraft.com/product/146767/woodworkersartists-pencil-kit-gold.aspx. I used a red acrylic blank so I could always find it, but yet I still seem to lose it in the shop more often than not.
Спасибо! Очень полезно и с примерами!👍👍👍👍👍
Sei bravissimo
Thanks for the video. Very well done. Cool last name too! maybe some day I can have your skill!
Thanks

My grandfather had compiled an extensive family tree/history. Unfortunately when he passed in the mid-90's no one knows what became of it.
Brian I'm learning the skew and practicing....I noticed you did not say nothing about the oval skews..some do and some don't like them..what do you think about the oval skew
Brilliant turning! Wish I'd found your videos in 2015. Sorry, you didn't turn a bead. What height do you put the tool rest at for planing and peeling? The skew chisel is a great tool! Thanks for your excellent videos.
Where did you get that caliper that you are using. Can’t seem to find it anywhere. I like it.
Bryan, loving your videos. They are fabulous for beginners like me. I was wondering what your suggestion would be for lathe speed for roughing out a spindle? I have an old Delta/Rockwell and its startup speed is about 950 rpm's. is that to high-to low or about right?
thanks
For smaller diameter (4" or less) relatively balanced spindle work, that should be fine. Where it starts to get dicy is with larger diameter, unbalanced logs/blanks that can cause serious damage if it becomes airborne. Regardless, it is always a good idea to stand to the side when turing on the lathe.
Great video. This is the second one I've seen. Have subscribed. What is the relative height of your tool rest? Thanks
For skews, the tool hight will be a little above center, as opposed to slightly below for gouges. Beyond that, I find that tool rest height is mostly about adjusting the tool handle to a height that is comfortable for the turner.
Thanks for the video. Very informative. I keep trying to use my skew, but we haven't started a good relationship yet. Question: How important is spin speed for using a skew? I notice very few turners mention anything about how fast the lathe is spinning. Is faster better?
+Chris Happ Generally faster is better, but don't go any faster than you are comfortable with. The old saying is: if the lathe ain't shakin' and you ain't shakin' , you're alright.
On a piece of about 2" diameter I would probably go around 2000rpm, possibly faster; however, this also depends on the wood. If there are any splits or cracks, be very careful, they can easily result in large pieces being ripped off, so you must wear at least safety glasses.
+Wolfgang Schulze-Zachau Thanks for replying to the question, Wolfgang. I try to answer all questions but I must have missed this one. And I concur with the answer: faster is better for cutting, within the bounds of safety and comfort. Like the old saying you quoted; I have also heard: "If the speed make you say 'hmmm' you are probably OK, it is make you say 'holy %$#@', then it is probably too fast."
I've only bee turning for 6 weeks now and only have the oval skew with a straight edge. Am I best to keep clear of a peeling cut?
You can still do peeling cuts; you just have to be aware of what part of the cutting edge is engaged, and make sure that part is relatively balanced over the fulcrum.
What relation is the Skew to the top or centre of you work. great video from AU. Cossy
I have the tool rest set slightly above center. Because the skew has an included angle (ground on both sides) it rides higher than gouges. I find that the specific hight is more a matter of comfort for the turner: the higher the tool rest, the higher the tool handle and vice versa. I find that when the tool is in a straight line with my forearm I get the best comfort and control.
Nise works😍
I've always been turning for a couple of months. So far I, really hate the skew. I see why it is referred to as the devil's can opener.
Brian... Where are you? We miss you
What RPM are you using?
Want to hog it out with the best finish... do some planing cuts.
Where can I purchase the nifty calipers you're using?

I think you should not recommend to the beginners to support the workpiece with your hand. Very often, the rapper goes into a tailspin and you can stay without fingers. And the rest liked it!
I taught myself to use the wood lathe and thats the only way I've ever used a skew chisel flat on the rest
7:24 Have heard back from any viewers yet who lost an eye because they did what you show them here, only without round off the tips of the calipers first, while also not wearing safety glasses like you?
Just curious.
