    In this video, Allan Batty takes you through the make up of the skew chisel and the six basic cuts everyone should know. He shows the proper methods of using the skew, along with "tricks of the trade", so that you can produce superb results without the "dig-ins" that are so common with the skew.
    Allan continues from there to instruct on the proper use of the beading and parting tools along with spindle and roughing gouges. The videography is top notch, showing every detail of the cut as it is made.
    The question and answer format of tape is easy and enjoyable to watch while addressing the problems associated with the tools demonstrated in the video. Allan's 30 years as a professional woodturner and "perfectionist" approach to all he does has resulted in one of the finest quality, most informative videos available today.

    I'm so impressed by a true craftsman. You know a guy knows his craft when he makes it look like anyone can do it with little effort. It's not until you make your very first cuts with a skew and destroy everything, that you realize this guy is a master.

    The best how-to video on YT. Within a minute it was evident that Allan was a cut above the rest and his teaching was perfect. Such a shame to hear he is no longer with us but am grateful that I can still learn from such a master craftsman.

    Mr. Batty, we miss you so much. I would give anything to have been your apprentice. For now I just have to visit with you via your videos. I have watched this particular one over half a dozen times. I watch until I think I have it all, then I go turn. Sure enough when I come back to this video months later, I learn more. Thanks for all you have done for woodturning. I expect that St. Peter has commissioned a pretty nice balustrade by now.

    I love the skew chisel! At least i thought I did... then discovered I loved the narrow skew chisel. It was my go to tool when i struggled. Then i bought my own tools and found myself with a 1" demon! My confidence was shattered along with my wood.
    Am now prepared to have another go. Thank you (& your wife) so much for taking the time to do this. Lots of great technical advise.

    Looking at lathes now. Allan is a a true professional at wood turning and teaching.
    And I really appreciate the way he slides his sense of humor in the teaching, ( a trip to the dentist).
    Thank you for making this.
    It would cost a lot to attend a class like this.
    I also appreciate Charles. I have no idea if he turns wood or not. But the way he watches Allen teach, it's as if he never saw this done before. It makes the video that much more interesting.
    Thanks again. 😁

    There's so much hype about using skew chisels, when I started I was convinced it would be hard....However, if you can use your brain to work out how to present a skew to a workpiece with the bevel rubbing and the point out of harm's way, then you can cut with a skew chisel. There's no magic involved. :)
