I had so much fun making these video, really in depth on how to use a skew and what can happen, usually means catches and I'll show atleast 10 of those for each type of cut....
I hope that the point of this video will get to beginner turners to let go of the fear of skew as its one of the most used tool in my shop with such a great results....

Thank you and enjoy - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I’ve watched dozens of skew tutorials, and this is by far the best I’ve seen.
Thank you very much, glad to hear that
One of the best presentations I've ever seen on demystifying the skew. For what it's worth...I think you give Steve and Richard a run for their money! Thank you again for sharing your experience and knowledge and doing it with the heart of a teacher. Well done sir!
Thank you sir for kind words and support 🤗
I’ve been turning for 20 years and this video is the best I’ve seen teaching how to use or abuse the skew. Excellent, thanks.
Thank you very much
After watching this video, I was able to use a skew for the first time to rough out my spindle and to make nice details like beads and coves, with no problems. I finished my little end grain box and it came out great. Thank you Tomislav.
Great to hear that sir, now its just practice
This video should be a mandatory watch for all new turners. I hear so many people talk about how scary the skew is, and how they fear using it... I think they just don't understand it. I primarily turn things in the spindle orientation and my skews are my primary tool. Skew, 3/8" spindle gouge, round and square scrapers, parting tool... Those are all you need, in order of importance.
Thank you very much 🤗
Thank you so mich for this video. I watched the other video for grinding the skew. I was able to make my first one. Now I need to practice. I agree about the danger of bowl gouge catches. in my early days of turning I had a bad catch and got hit in my face shield.
The best explanation of using the skew I have seen. I will be trying those techniques tonight.
Awsome to hear that, thank you
By far the most comprehensive and very well explained lesson on the use of the skew!!
Multiple viewings will enhance all of the knowledge that is shared here!!
What a great video!!
Tomislav, as someone who has been turning for almost 45 years and viewed probably a 1000 videos and demonstrations at shows and competitions I gotta tell you that was the best tutorial I have ever seen on the use of the skew chisel. I am only saddened by the fact that I live 1/2 way around the earth (Philadelphia USA) away from you and cannot take a class from you. I would echo the comments below whole heartedly. Don't stop the content as you are at the top of my youtube subscription list!!! THANK YOU
Thank you sir , I really appriciate that and your support on what I do.... Sp glad to hear that and I wish you all the best for Christmas....🤗
Got to be just about the best turning video out there😊
Thank you, really appriciate that ☺️
Thank you so much for showing sp clearly how and why catches happen.
Honored to be able to help out ☺️
Great lesson on the use of the skew Tomislav.
Thank you
Thanks Tomislav for the detailed explanation about sharpening my skews are now much more uniform on both sides and much easier to use in both directions 👍🏻😉
Glad to hear that ☺️
Best explanation of how to use a skew I’ve ever seen. Thank you very much. I’ve been a Turner for years and I think your analysis of the catches is invaluable.
Really appriciate your feedback and thank you for kind words 🤗
Hello Tomislav,
thank you very much for answering my questions about the chisel. I now understand where my catches are coming from. I am sure that I am losing contact with the bevelled edges. Now I know what I have to practise.
Greetings Andreas
No worries Andreas, glad I could help out ☺️
Two best moves I’ve made since getting my lathe:
1. Started watching Tom.
2. Bought a CBN grinder wheel.
Tom’s teaching and sharp tools have made all the difference!!!!
Thank you sir very much ☺️
You are a great teacher, Tomislav. Thank You very much for such detailed explanation! Can't wait Your other educational videos.
Thank you very much 🤗
Well Tomislav, you have now given the world all it needs to know about creating abstract art ... I will have to find new forms of artistic expression :) More seriously, thank you so much for undertaking this series to share your experience with others with such thoroughness and clarity... you're creating a legacy of great teaching materials that will be useful for many for a long time ... what a generous gift to the craft! Stay well!
Thank you very much, I'm just giving back as I had luck to be able to learn from the best☺️
Have been turning regularly for over 15 years. Watched hundreds of TH-cam videos on turning techniques. I find this one the best for me. Really good explanations and shows what causes a catch. Thx for the lesson.
Thank you very much, really appriciate that ☺️
Outstanding video. Master class.. 🙏🙏
Thank you for even taking the time to show
the technique to the rest of us mortal turners.❤❤❤❤🌹🌹🌺🌺
Thank you, I'm to help out as much as I can 😀
This is getting me closer to trying the skew. Mind I'm a 61 year old new turner.
Its awsome tool for spindle work, I would say my no.1 .... Once you grasp the mechanics behind it, its quite easy and so much fun
Excellent primer on skew use. Clear, concise, and easy to understand. Plus, I think you covered just about every catch. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us all be better turners.
Thank you Johnny for watching and support what I do
Very nice work, Tomislav. If anybody out there can not safely practice using a skew after watching this video , I don't know what to tell them. I guess maybe watch it again. Excellent job, young man.
Thank you very much 🤗
Thank you for the comprehensive guide to this incredibly versatile tool. I'm sure you have helped reduce the laundry bills for thousands of us.👍
Thank you, those bills can add up indeed😅
Tremendous explanation! Thank you. If the weather ever improves around my home/shop, I will train on skew-use for a solid week, before I do any "routine" turning. I would like to be a SKEW EXPERT!
Its just practice, whenever you have spindle work,grab a skew and off you go... Don't use to much of scrap wood as there is something in using good timber or even better a complete project as it will mean more to you and you'll try not to mess it up... 😀
🕶thanks Tomislav for another fantastic video.
Thank you 🤗
watched it twice, skews are a tremendous asset if you can use one.
The best tool for spindle work 😀
Thomis yet another great tutorial.
Such a clear and concise explanation, maybe i shall release my skew from the cage i keep it in. 🤣 thanks 👍
😂😂please let it out, know it won't catch as before....☺️
Your long, detailed, very thorough explanations and visuals on how to sharpen tools are very helpful and are allowing me to fix my sharpening mistakes and turn better
Really appriciate that, thank you very much for watching
Brilliant and clear explanation on how to use the skew properly and safely. I can't wait to get out in the workshop to put it to the test. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to further tutorials. Thanks very much.
Thank you very much for support and watching 🤗
Excellent video. This is one of the best skew videos I have seen and really appreciate the detail you provided. You broke this down into easily understood basics that were very helpful. I think the thing about skews that scares people off is that catches tend to be dramatic -- as you point out, they aren't dangerous (except to the workpiece) but the drama associated with a catch can really get a person's attention.
Thank you sir 🤗 really appriciate your kind words
Excellent demonstration and explanation! I see many Facebook posts by new turners. I always refer them to you and Richard! I will watch this many times. It looks like on V cuts, the handle stays perpendicular to the wood, and on beads, it ends up perpendicular as well. That might be where I have gotten into some trouble. Thank you again for your patient manner of teaching. You demonstrate finesse, but I guess that has to come from experience.
Thank you sir for kind words and support 🤗
Excellent instruction. Easy to understand the subtle details to avoid catches. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you, very glad to hear that
Thank you so much for showing me how to use the skew you have a great way of explaining things you are a great teacher & I have learnt so much from your videos there should be a 0 after your subscribers thank you again have a lovely Christmas
Regards
Steve UK London
Thank you Steve, I really appriciate your support
The best skew vidio I've ever seen.....Thanks
Newt
Thank you Newt, really appriciate that ☺️
Very detailed covering every use of the skew and emphasising all the catches and safety details anyone will need. Very clear that when I now get my catches I will know the reasoning for it. I think I will refer to this video a lot to check for my many failings! Keep the videos coming , they are really worthwhile for newbies like me who have a lot to learn.🙄
Thank you very much 🤗
THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!! To say that I learned a lot is a gigantic under statement. This was certainly the best presentation outlining the proper use of the skew that I have ever seen.
Thank you,so glad to hear that ☺️
A most excellent tutorial video!!!
Thank you
Thank you so much Tomislav for taking the time to post these instructional videos. You covered every detail with the multiple camera angles and clear explanations. Greatly appreciated !!!
Thank you very much 😀
The skew always makes me nervous. You make it look so easy.
No need, the important thing to remember is that you are quite safe if you have a catch, where with bowl gouge things are far more dangerous
Thanks for making this video. It gave me confidence watching you slice the wood like butter. I played with my skew all day practicing and now I love this tool. I still have a lot to learn but have improved greatly with this tool.
I always used a gouge to round my wood, now I just grab my skew and round my wood very quickly. It is easier and quicker. Now i'm going to buy a couple of good quality skews.
Keep posting those great videos.@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning
Love your tutorials. I feel like I'm cheating by not paying tuition!
😂 thank you for kind words
I just watched this for the second time and I’ll for sure watch it again until I have practiced enough to be competent. The best, by far, and easiest to understand skew tutorial I’ve ever seen! Thank you and congratulations on this accomplishment!!
So glad to hear that sir and thank you very much for watching and support 🤗
Votre vidéo et simplement superbe ,avec toutes les explications nécessaires .Vous prenez le temps de nous montrer et d'apprendre votre technique, votre maîtrise est remarquable .Aujourd'hui encore je prends une très bonne leçon et je suis comblé .Trois fois, mille fois merci.👍
Thank you very much for watching and support 🤗
By far the best Skew explanation i have ever seen . You gave so much information and explained it very well. Thanks, well done!
Thank you very much
Fantastic series on skews! Thank you.
Thank you for watching 🤗
Thanks for sharing this Tommi, an ax excellent instructional video demystifying the “” on no dreaded skew”
Thank you Greg😀
The best tutorial on skew I have ever seen. Thank you Tomislav 👏👍
Thank you very much for doing these high quality videos. Your explanation is always very clear and the camera angle is excellent as well. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much 🤗
I usually watch these videos after work. Consequently I'm getting very sleepy. Not because it isn't interesting, because this is seriously interesting to me. It's because my mind is trained to be read for sleep when it hears you talking. I'm struggling to keep my eyes open. 🤣 your content is very valuable to me and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and experience with us in websville. Now I'm going to keep trying to stay awake for the rest of the video.
Superb series - thanks for sharing your expert knowledge !
Tomislav, WOW! Thank you for the very detailed presentation and explanations 🙏These two videos I will definitely watch a few times to let it all sink in. Well done Sir..
Thank you very much, glad to hear that
Brilliant as ever.: I endorse all of the other accolades on here. One of the things that I find so helpful is the way that, despite your own mastery of the skills, you manage to make those of us some way down the food chain feel welcome in your workshop.
Thank you very much 🤗 I really appriciate that ☺️
Excellent tutorial! and I think you underplay your skill level!
Thank you very much
Great explanations again. I’ve been using my skew more and more but have been having trouble with that paring cut across the end grain. That tiny space is what I’ve been missing. Thank you for that.
So glad to hear that, and honored to be able to help out ☺️, now use it more and more and enjoy 😀
A great thank you Tom for this really excellent remind about skew working
Thank you, glad you liked it
Awesome. You explained all the issues I’ve had trying to master the skew in 2 sessions. Thanks for that.
No worries, I'm honored to be able to help out 🤗
You are a great teacher!
Thank you sir
Thanks very much. You have help my confidence level with the skew immensely. I will be using the skew much more thanks to you. I am learning a lot from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to teach people like me who are just starting out.
No worries, thank You for watching and support what I do, I'm honored to be able to help out
Thank you I needed this I’m headed to the shop to practice with the skew
Thanks, glad to hear that 🤗
I repeat the comments below. This is the best tutorial I have see on the Skew. Thank you Tomislav. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thank you very much, Merry Christmas to you and your family ☺️
This is the best skew video I have seen. You really are such a good tutor. Keep up the good work, and thanks.
Thank you very much 😀
Excellent, one of the best wood turning teaching videos I have ever seen 👍👍
Thank you very much
That was really helpful. Thank you ❤
Absolutely the very best tutorial on use of skew. Thanks!
Thank you
One of the most comprehensive tutorials I've ever seen Tomislav. You really should become a professional teacher! You are an absolute boon for the lesser experienced woodturner, thanks for the time and efforts you put in producing videos. 👍(I'm all ready quite good at catches ------ going to practice less from now on😊) regards, (Tony UK)
Thank you Tony, we were all great at catches at one point 😅, little fun fact, After finishing my 3 year apprentership at age 18, I worked for 7 years at very school I learn my woodworking trade, I pass on what I know to teenagers much like I was🤗
I forget who i was watching a few years ago, but it was an old guy. Batty? Thats what im remembering. He had an old video, looked like it was made in the 70s or 80s lol. He said to intentionally get catches for a few hours, on a lower speed. I did that. It was scary AF at first, but i eventually learned how to get a catch, and how to not get a catch.
This is a good video, too. Very informative
Thanks a lot 😀
That was a superb instructional video. You are a great teacher. I'm already using the skew with much more confidence and getting better results, having looked at both of your videos. Thanks again for going to the trouble to share your knowledge
No worries, thank you for watching and support what I do
Great video Tomislav! You know how you know its good? The whole time I'm watching this video I am thinking to myself.... I can do that...before the video even ends I press the pause button to go to the shop and practice! Thanks again for the teaching videos and I sincerely hope you and your family have a great Christmas!
Thank you very much,I really appriciate that and that was my goal for videos that I do.... Merry Christmas to you and your family ☺️
Absolutely fantastic work Tomislav, I’ve tried to make friends with my skew but after watching this I’m now ready to really put some effort in
Glad to hear that very much 🤗
All beautifully explained.
Thank you 😀
A fabulous video Tomislav you are an excellent tutor and demonstrate it clearly and simply.
Thank you Steve, that really means a lot coming from master🤗 love the charity clock build, hope it raises the funds
Great lesson on skew use. If I may add some hard earned advice it is that it is essential to relax when using the skew. People new to it are often anxious and as a result tense up and grip the tool like thier life depends on it. RELAX guys. A very light grip. Drop your shoulders and chill out. Every so often stop and drop those shoulders again because they will be tensing up. Doing this gives much better control with your right hand and if/when you get a catch it won't dig in nearly as much as if you had a tight grip.
Good advice sir, I always said to students to relax a bit, beacuse everyone is tens and that is not good.... Thank you very much
Very informative video,
Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching
Again, thank you so much for this series of videos. These are really, really informative. Several areas I have a much better understanding now. Can’t wait for the next one 😊
Thank you very much 🤗
Great learning video! I will now attempt to use a skew more often on my projects. Thanks for your efforts to detail the process.
Glad I could help out ☺️
Mate, I think I have watched every skew tutorial on YT twice over, but you have just unlocked a new tool to me, I had so many failures with the skew, I am now confident to pick it and really go for it, loving this recent group of tool videos, if you have time I’d love to see your approach to a toothpick box, stay safe mate👊
Thank you buddy, I really appriciate that
very nicely explained. One thing from my experience is, that you can use the upper part of the edge for planing while having the skew competely supportet on the toolrest as long as you stay away from the very tip of the edge (some of the catches you showed were the upper corner catching, not the unsuported edge, as you still had the skew flat on the toolrest).
Great video! Well presented!
Thank you
Very helpful for us skew challenged individuals. Some really useful insights and advice. Appreciate your instructional videos.
Thank you sir for generous donation and support, I really appriciate that and wish you Merry Christmas and happy new year
Great informative video, Im off to the shed to practice!!! Have a great New Year.
Thank you, enjoy practice
This is marvellous Tomislav and I will be saving it for reference because your advice and demonstrations are crystal clear. Great stuff, thank you.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thank you Brendan, means a lot to me 🤗
Excellent demo very very helpful things are a lot clearer now although I still get catches when doing beads more practice needed Im sure
Its just practice,so don't worry about it.... Just grab skew whenever you have spindle work and soon enough you'll enjoy it 🤗
Thank you once again for such a clear and helpful tutorial.
Thank you Rachel ☺️
Very helpful T, thanks and I will be watching this series more than once! Stay safe
Thank you very much 🤗
Excellent
Thank you
Thanks for another fine video. Watching this video I now have a better understanding of the skew importance as a wood turning tool. I’m getting more acquainted
with the skew now that I know how to sharpen it and how to use it properly. I’ll be doing more productive practice with the skew. Thanks again for time.
Thank you sir,that was the point of this video and I wish you all the great time practicing skew
I really appreciate your time and effort on these videos.
Thank you, very helpful!
Glad I could help, thank you
Thanks for a great presentation Tomislav, I realize my main mistake is the height I set my tool rest at. I feel that this correction will help me a lot. Thanks again for your help.
Glad to help out 🤗
Thank you for the great video. I learned so much
good instructor - thanks
Thank you
Outstanding instructions, thank you.
Glad you liked it 🤗
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You are a great teacher😊
Thank you very much, I really appriciate that
Very good information. Good safety points, thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching
Tomislov, another great video, maybe your best yet! Your explanation and demonstration of how to and how not to use the skew is extremely helpful. Appreciate your pointing out the approach angles and how to present the tool to the work. I have some blanks ready so after I reshape my skew, I will be excited to try and put into practice everything you have shared in the two skew videos.
Thank you for all the time you dedicate to sharing your knowledge of this craft with others. Wishing you and your family a very Blessed Christmas 🙏🏼🎄. Randy 🤠🇨🇱
Thank you Randy for kind words of support, wish you and your family all the best, health first and the rest will follow...
Fantastic video thank you for showing the catches,in a previous video I posted it would be nice if you showed a skew video. Well thanks so much you have Amazing control over the tools always a pleasure to watch . Now time to practice
Thank you sir for kind words and support 🤗
You a great teacher thank you
Thank you 😀
Thank you for time that you are investing in tutorial, as usual your explanations can not be more loud and clear then that. Now, hopefully, i will be able to stop practicing catches 😉and start doing nicer job on my spindle works.
Thank you, like with anything, its just about practice and repetetive work.... Make a comitment to make for family or coworkers some ornaments using skew and soon you'll have nice results🤗
Always a pleasure to see your informative videos! It's true that I've always been afraid of the skew. But this course gave me self-confidence. What is the grind angle of your skew? 15° on each side? I have already seen so many different angles....Thank you very much for these lessons!!
Thank you very much, there is a video before this one where I sharpen and shape skew and I talk about angles.... ☺️
Another very nice and instructive video. What was that last blank made of, it had an interesting grain. Walnut? Thanks once more!
Its ash but I saved it from mulch in the mulching yard, so it got extremely nice colors.... Something similar would be on your plates
I mastered my skew techniques with an oval skew, i still get caught out 😂
Never tried oval, but we all got cought 😅
