- A lot of you asked about camera angle that will show a bit better cutting height but also tool rest height.
Hopefully you like this short video and please let me know in comment section what other techniques or project or camera angle you would like to see.
Have a great day
Enjoy and stay safe

disclaimer Methods that are shown works great for me and they are not only methods out there, if you find this or any other method not comfortble,please use some other way.
Thank you and enjoy
It’s such a pleasure to watch and learn from you. You really are the modern incarnation of Richard Raffen. The detail you show in your videos helps me to improve my work. Thanks!!!
Thank you very much for kind words 😊
Best tutorials on TH-cam in my opinion! Thanks.
Thank you Robert
This is what we have been waiting for! Very helpful for beginners to see the mechanics of the cutting positions.
As well as for the complacent old time turners. Sometimes you gotta unlearn an old way in order to make room for other information.
Tomislav, great little video. No one can demonstrate or explain things like you do. Thank you very much, my friend. Joe USA
Thank you Joe, I try my best
Best lesson video on TH-cam
Thank you sir
Very good idea to show tools cutting from this angle. It really helped me to see the tool rest height for each tool.
In the future could you show some examples of making bowls in the “end-grain” orientation? I have been experimenting and have had good luck with black walnut, red cedar and honey locust. The walnut grain pattern was amazing.
Than you.
Chas
Thank you Chas for suggestion, I'll make something soon☺️
Another awesome video! This was very helpful for me as I have just been trying to find correct height by trial and error. Your instructional videos are the best on TH-cam …. You are a natural born teacher and one extremely talented craftsman 🤠🇨🇱
Thank you Randy,I try my best😀
Thank you Tomislav. This has been an excellent demonstration of tool(s) cutting angle and height. Something I felt was lacking in other tutorials online. Wishing you a good New Year.
Thank you and all the best in 2025 to you and your family 😊
Great demo again: the analogy to the clock from this camera point of view is very explicit and useful. Have a great evening
Thanks Alain, I really appreciate feedback
THE REFINER HAS ARRIVED ! 🎉🎉🎉
Awsome, everything arrived well?
Very interesting seeing from those angles. Helpful seeing how you position and also where the cuts are occurring on the tool.
Thank you Mark
I’m binge watching 😮!
I really appreciate that 😀
Really helpful to see this different angle. Much appreciated, Tomislav.
Really enjoyed this. Now to go practice
Great demonstration of tool control and positioning tomislav,
I have just started to pick up the skew in the last while, only ever used it as a negative rake scraper before, but having fun learning,
Thanks for sharing,
Will👍🙂
Thanks Will, you are making great progress with Skew as seen the other day in your video. Great job
Thank you ! I felt like this one was just for me. I was complaining about being left handed and having trouble with the gouges not "feeling right". Seeing your cutting angles has given me some ideas to try. Thanks!!
Awsome and glad to be able to help out
Thank you
I love this view. It is so hard to tell tool orientation at regular camera view. Thank you for showing.
I would love to see two cameras at one time so you can seee both sides of the project. I am amazed how easy you use these tools. I've only been turning of two years and it fascinates me to watch a skilled turner at work... great videos
Thank you very much, I'll see what I can do
Really helpful Tomislav, good to see a different angle to understand the tool rest height.
What a wonderful video. You have obviously thought carefully about the lighting and camera angle to show the positioning and control of the cutting surface of the tool. For many I am sure you have now made the definitive teaching aid for the skew in spindle work. Thank you for taking time out from your work to show such detail in the moves that seem second nature to you. The views of this will skyrocket for years to come. Thank you very much. ❤
Thank you soo much
Thank you, Mr. Tomislav!
I made a huge mistake, recently, while turning a larger piece of cherry, to make a bowl. I got the log pretty rounded out but, when using my skew, I was holding the handle too level, when a crack opened up. It broke my skew, in my hand, spun the blade around, and the tang hit me in the chest. Scary moment. It also sheared about a 1/3rd of the piece away. I’ve learned a lot from you, since.
😮
You should NEVER be using a skew chisel on a bowl blank, count yourself lucky to escape that experience 😮
Thank God you were not hurt,I gotta say that I don't know all the details as I wasn't there but using skew on a bowl isn't great idea and I would say that this was a good warning tgat you have to change tactics.
Try finding a pro turner in your area and spend a day with him for some guidance so this scenario doesn't happen again
Thanks!
Thank you soo much,I really appreciate your gesture
Another REALLY helpful video. Many thanks Romislav.
Not many of your peers show tool rest height so that's great.
A brief video including lathe speeds for different tools and cuts would be very welcome.
Again many thanks, your videos are helping me to improve my turning.
Thank you very much for watching and comment sir
Great job. Thank you 😊
Thank you another great lesson. Fortunately a friend , who is a builder, has just given me a sack of offcuts from the carpentry workshop, these will be perfect to practice on skew.
Awesome practice pieces
🕶thanks Tomislav.
My favorite camera angle is over head and tail stalk.
I agree Steven. Thank you sir for watching
Hi Tomislav, those two camera positions were excellent for showing tool presentation. Great job.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thank you buddy
Very well done. Love the new angle for the SKEW for explanation!
Thanks Tony
that was very very helpfull, Thanks a lot Tomislav!
brilliant !!!! At last we can see the correct angles of the tool ..just ! that makes perfect sense, you can see much better the angles of the tools particular the skew !! thank you ! .. first time I seen this angle on youtube !!!!!
Thank you, I'll try do it better next time 😊
Two cameras would be great. One overhead showing the piece's developing shape and a second camera showing the view provided here. This is great showing rest height, tool angle and where the tool starts its cut. Really helpful. Thanks.
Thank you for suggestion, I'll see what I can do
Great demo and great information. Thank you. Really enjoy your videos.
VERY helpful! Thank you for creating the skew spindle view!
I really like the camera to be directly overhead looking down. That position provides the best view of the emerging shape and also gives a good view of the tool.🙂🙂
Indeed, I agree ,this was sort of complimentary video to aid all other videos with different point of view
Another great video. The angle from the tail stock works very well. I think a tutorial on back hollowing from that angle would be really helpful.
I’m trying to work up the nerve to grind an asymmetrical gouge 😬
@ I’ve been turning for less than a year and have a basic grinder. I had never really sharpened anything like a gouge before. Watch his sharpening video and give it a try it’s a lot easier than you think. It has been a really great profile for me.
I'll do my best and thanks for suggestion
Amazing camera work showing of your skill. Thanks again!
Thank you Joris, had some work around the house so I'll be back on your order soon😊
Very helpful. I would like to learn more about techniques for mounting blanks. Thanks
Thank you Sue, I have something in the making☺️
thank you for the video, it would be nice to see you do the inside of the bowl. Great video !
It will be probably next video☺️
Fantastic video, this will really help my learning curve 😊
Another lovely teaching video, Happy New Year..sorry it’s late.. looking forward to many more 😊
Never to late for nice wishes,thank you and all the best to you and your family in new year
Thanks for your time.
Thanks again for all you share here!
Thank you for the excellent demo, will try it out tomorrow!
Would you demo how to hollow a small box with or without a lid. Please show different techniques to hollow the box? Thanks from MESA AZ. USA. Love your demos.
I'll do my best and thanks for suggestion
Very informative! Helped me to remove some of the guess work…positions.
Glad to hear that 😀
Nice camera angles, but I don't have and didn't know I needed a Skew Gouge! looks like you may have put a few £'s in Ashley Isles hands at the next show 🤣😂
Glad to do it as tgey have great tools
well, that sure is enlightening!
Seriously, I never had luck with a skew except on small spindles. Your description along with the new camera angle made it clear why I'd been having trouble
Very helpful to see from that angle.
very good point of view certainly the first one and I am very interessed in a video on hollowing a mug, thanks for showing
Thank you for feedback
Идеальная форма подручника,буду делать такой же.Спасибо за урок токарного мастерства
This has been amazingly helpful. Thank you very much!
Thanks, very clear and informative,
This was very informative, you are a great teacher! Thank you, and Happy New Year!
Thank you and all the best in 2025 to you and your family 😊
Happy New Year Tomislav, hope it is healthy and prosperous for you - good video+++++
Thank you very much and all the best to you and your family in 2025
Angle is great but I can admire someone that handles the skew like that. I myself have not mastered the Skew, it scares the heck out of me, haha.. I know, practice, practice, practice. However, I regress, thank you for sharing and just wow on the tool skills..
Indeed ,just time and practice and give your self a challenge of before cleaning the lathe for a day, turn simple cilinders with Skew, 10-15 pieces
Then use these cilinders to create beads with Skew
One at the time at the end of the day....
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning😃
Thanks. ❤
Thanks a lot, that’s really interesting :
I used to have a continental grind gouge and I liked it a lot. When it finally got too short to use I bought a spindle roughing gouge. The continental style gouge was what I first learned to use to rough out spindle blanks. Now I want another one.
Continental spindle gouges are great.☺️
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank you
Awsome!! Great camera work
Thanks for this video!
As you were asking for suggestions: what I'm still struggling with when hollowing a bowl is the sides. I sometimes get grooves or swirl marks and I'm not exactly sure how to avoid them. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't but when I get them it's extremely annoying as I have to remove them SOMEHOW before starting to sand. Sanding them out takes a while 😅
A video regarding this topic would be greatly appreciated 🤗 Thanks in advance!
Excellent!!!
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video, as always.
Very good camera angles, Tomislav. That did a fantastic job showing us exactly how you present the edges, when we could see it. For example, when you start scraping or begin a sheer cut with a gouge on the face work, couldn't see it until it came around. But of course that's what we see most of the time so, I'm just saying but appreciate the different angle.
There's one framing that I've always wanted to see, but it might depend on your recording camera. I'd love to see some deeper hollowing, and the only way I could see that would be with something greater than at least 150 mm lens on a regular DSLR, perfectly aimed over a tool rest and where the hollowing tool of choice is going to be. If you have a really good zoom, and can back the camera way up so that you could just barely position it looking over a tool rest and probably a scraper, that I think would be valuable for us to see what's going on in those deep situations.
Good idea Jason with hollowing, I'll try to do my best on this
Thanks
This video is so helpful. Telling us where the tool rest is in relation to the spindle (exactly how high), where on the clock (example at eleven o’clock) is great information. Also, holding the refiner handle above center to have the cutting edge at center. Details like this can’t be discerned from just looking so thank you!
A suggestion for future video is the angle or degree of the bevel of your various tools. I have a commercially made skew chisel similar to yours that’s called a Skewchi. Watching your video today, I suspect the angle of the bevel on mine should be a little bit steeper to make it easier to control. Again, I’m not sure my other spindle gouges are at the best angle. I know some of it is a personal choice for individual turners, but general guidelines would be appreciated. How does the angle of the bevel affect the cut, etc.
I reached out to a local turning instructor to find a young helper. He told me his students were in their 70s and 80s. Looking around at other turners in my area I noticed they are all older people. Does anyone have ideas about how to get young people interested in turning?
Thank you for suggestion and I'll do my best on this topic, thank you for watching
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning I see now that you already have a video covering the bevel angle of the scraper. I try to keep up but sometimes I’m not doing it well 😳
Thanks and best wishes for the new year! I would like a video on finishes. I am trying out different things but don't feel like i'm mastering it yet. Especially the shellac tends to get sticky and leaves a trail. It seems you are not a fan of shellac. When to use woodshavings for buffing...
I don't have shellac, I used it in furniture years back only as universal bainder, I think with shellac its important to move fast and get the first coat on, after that the rest should go a bit easier . But even with that, I would not use it as for me atleast its not that attractive
Finishing video will be soon hopefully 😀
Very nice, Great information, I would like to you turn a lidded box.
I have something in mind soon
You’re the bestest Tommy 👍
Thanks Tom
As always a great leaning experience. Maybe, if you had two cameras you could do a split screen view. That would be nice.
Thank you, I'll see if I can make that happen
Yet another excellent teaching video. Maybe if possible doing a split screen for giving a "third dimension". Thank You
Thank you, I'll see what I can do 😀
Good video. I enjoyed the different camera angles. I would appreciate a little longer to read the text.
Thanks for feedback, I usually leave it for 5-6 seconds as I think who wants to read will pause the video😀
Pozdrav Tomo, sjajan sadrzaj, kao i uvek! Zelim ti ugodne praznike i sve najbolje u novoj godini. Poziv ti je uvek otvoren, ako dolazis u Bg voleo bih da svratis kod mene u radionicu na domacu rakiju, kafu itd. Svako dobro!
Hvala puno Zorane.☺️
Thank you for all your instructive videos. Can I ask you what is the bevel angle and length of the bevel on your skew please ?
Yes ofcourse, its roughly 15-16° one side so included angle is from 30 to 32,33 degrees.
That's the same angle Richard Raffan uses. Thanks for sharing, Tomislav.
I love the angle as it showed me the height of the toolrest while using skew, would like to know what angle you have your skew set to. Seems like its shallower than the 60 degree standard?
Include angle is around 30-35 degrees, up to 40 degrees max, and angle profile is around 15 degrees
I would like to hear your thoughts on a curved vs straight skew. I use a 3/4" curved Carter & Son, but watching you it appears like a 1" straight skew is more practical.
Hi Alan
My skew isn't completely straight as I find its not as useful for me atleast, so it has just a bit of curve.
With curve its easier to low peel some woods that just doesn't wanna cut.
And curved skew is a bit more friendly to use.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning very good! I believe my skew has way more curve than your's which makes it diffucult to do a fairly straight peeling cut, expecially for tendons. I thing I will resharpen and lower the curve, but not straight. Thanks
@alanspears6926 I don't like to much curve just for this reason you mentioned
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning can you tell me your skew width and amount of curve, from the middle to the outside edge (i.e. 2mm)
I recently found your channel, and I really like your videos! I plan on recommending this one to my local woodworking club. Question What was causing the smoking when you first started on the walnut blank?
Thank you Ben,
Its more steam as its super cold days lately😊
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning makes sense! My garage is separate from my house. It’s been below freezing here a lot (Long Island NY, the ocean usually keeps us a little warmer), I’m seriously considering a small diesel heater!
A really good perspective so that we can see the angle and height of the tool in relation to the wood. Thank you once again Tomislav. By the way, how are the back orders going for the refiner. I’ve not ordered one yet but will do once you get on top of it.
Thank you soo much
Tomorrow I have a call with Crown, the last update is to have batch in middle of January, that is sold out but after I prep and send those out I'll do pre-order so a lot more turners can grab refiner instead on reliing on fixed number in batch.
Thank you very much for interest
Great video, thanks so much for sharing it
I notice that you don’t wear a glove, i see a lot of guys do. The wood coming off seems hot, it burns my hand. What is your opinion.
Also do you have a video on scrapers, when i use mine i tend to get catches. I am mainly using Osage orange because i had to cut one down so i have all the free wood i want. So I am having to do twice cutting as they dry.
Thanks
Osage cuts and scrapes so nicely, one of the best woods to turn.
I never get shavings that hot,usually it can mean that your tools are dull or you use a lot of force to cut.
I do wear gloves in winter because of cold though 😊
I have several scraper videos, please look into Tehnique Playlist, around dosent videos
Hi Tomislav, any chance you could do a video on how to make sure both ends are exactly the same as with say a rolling pin? thank you
Great idea,thank you for suggestion
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning You're welcome, thank you
Great demo. I was noticing how much material you remove with the skew in a planing cut. If I do that I will get a kick back not really a catch. Maybe not sharp enough or to slow / too fast feed rate? Maybe another video?
Usually kick back with Skew happens if you get away from bevel and engage only tip. And you don't need to take as much wood at once with Skew. Take your time and do several smaller cuts as you build up more confidence
Interesting angles. I like it a lot. I am relatively new to turning and have much to learn. When doing spindle work, do you need to cut on center line or does the tool rest need to be on center line?
On spindle its mostly tool rest at center height.
Slučajno sam vidio ovaj tvoj video. Apsolutno briljantne informacije i demonstracija. Zapravo dovoljno da se počnem pretplaćivati. Radujem se više i pozdrav iz Oklahome, SAD……..Michael
Hvala puno Michael
Is your skew gouge self-made or purchased? Thank you for all you do.
Its self made from Crown steel m2 they send me a while back.
Thank you so much
Tomislav, skew is 1”. Which is your preferred slightly curved scraper size. Wanting to get both :) love the content. Thank you. 😊
Both are 25mm wide by 6mm thick, but the scraper in this size isn't for deeper hollowing, for that I would grab 25mm wide by 10mm thick
Tak for en go video
Cool. You ever try any inlays with brass?
I didn't, I usually use veneer for thin inlays
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning gotcha
Nice! Now you need some pithy name for your new "cam" ("spindle cam" might not be catchy enough)
You are improving using your tools. However, anyway of using an extra camera to give us another angle of your cut? Especially when you are showing us how to use a new tool.
Too bad you didn't show the chisel well on the bowl blank.
It wasn't the purpose, it was to show you different angle on tools and tool rest high. I have several videos on really close up shots of tools
That's funny (not really ha-ha funny), turning off the lathe accidentally. I've accidentally slowed the speed of my lathe several times by rubbing against the knob. First time it happened, I thought my lathe motor was giving out. 🙂
I have a red emergency stop button like that on my lathe, but it locks out. To restart, I have to rotate the button to unlock it. I wish it was just a momentary switch.
Been there 😂
Thanks!
Thank you soo much sir for supporting what I do 😊
Really helpful. Thank you.
