- This video was made as a result of requests on social media and is at a diffferent angle to show the body movement and grip on the tool handle while turning a stair spindle.
Somebody mentioned that you were good with a skew….they weren’t wrong!! What a joy to watch 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you
It may not be a tutorial, but it certainly a lesson from the master himself!
Excellent work and a real joy to watch Mr Jones.
Thanks Paul
Watched it the first time watching your body movements and had movements. Now I have to go and watch it a second time to see that beautiful spindle appear.
Thanks Billy
The "hours of flight" that this man has are directly proportional to the speed and comfort with which he performs when turning. Great technique, Great job !!!
Thank You
I am convinced you are second to no one when it comes to skew work, truly amazing to watch Steve, always look forward to see your spindle turning, thanks. think aboutmaking some traing dvd or ..
Thank you Edward for your kind words, the DVD is something that would be a long way off but neverb say never.
Sure was fun to watch. Here's a video of another skew master who lives here in Maine: ruclips.net/video/1AzTyWmZGHk/видео.html I'm sure there are other skew experts out there too who don't have their name on their own line of tools.
There are many experts out there and I am sure there are hundreds that we don’t know about just going along unknown but doing amazing work. Ps. I don’t have my name to any tools and presume most turners don’t
You certainly deserve to if skills have anything to do with it. I've recently watched many of your past videos and watching you is like comparing a pro golfer to a weekend hacker. Thanks for taking the time to post your videos.
Too, I have listen to folks with their names on tools who say they "don't get along with skews" which to me seems amazing. I am certainly no pro, not even close, and have no right to comment on this, but I simply could not imagine spindle turning without a skew.
However, I do get a chuckle, just when I think, Steve, you have gotten yourself into a box with your skew and into a position where there is no way out, I say ok he is going to screw up now.. Somehow you back away and there is a perfect this or that under all the chips. Truly amazing to watch a pro at anything..
Fantastic,smooth, accurate.and quick. The signs of untold hours of practice and work.
Thank you
Your work is remarkable to watch, and you did everything so smooth and fast. A true testament of skill and craftsmanship
Thank you
One can learn much by a short video like this. Thank you.

Thank you it's a pleasure
I have such a long way to go ... but I've started walking :-)
Bought the smallest Record lathe last year. Got it set up on it's own bench and with tools hanging over it (in front of me). My ambition is just to learn spindle turning so I can make chair & table legs and such for my furniture. I've just started using it: made myself a dozen blanks of softwood, pine, not too long. Try do do some turning each day before I leave the shop for dinner. I've set the lathe to the slowest speed so that I have to cut / slice the wood and not power through on high speed brute force. And the catches aren't so scary at slow speed. I've managed to make some smooooth surfaces and I'm getting more confident, practising beads & coves, slowly getting a feel for it. It's good fun !
Your videos are a great inspiration - it's very useful to watch a master in action.
Thank you. Enjoy your journey it will be fun and well done for doing it the correct way with practice.
Thanks so much, Steve. I've just taken on the task to turn 66 spindles to reproduce the original balustrade for an 1893 cricket pavilion. If I practice for a couple of years, I think I that I can complete the task! :-)
Lol! Enjoy your task.
Thanks Steve a privilege to see you working another 20 years I mite get as good as you 😉
Thanks Barry
Awesome work with the skew chisel!
Thank You
I was in awe of his skill! Something to strive for b/c apparently I have a knack for using it. (I’m a newbie but have no issues using it...the gouges though are another issue)
Thank you Elizabeth, if you use the skew early like yourself when learning it is easier to learn.
@@woodturner21 I learned in my late 50’s! I hadn’t turned since I was 15-16yo in Jr. high. Hubs &I took a course & he’s advanced so much further than I have. I impressed our instructor-I supposed it helped that I didn’t know the skew was to be feared! It just did what I want done & did it very nicely.
A pleasure to watch you turn
Thanks you
Steve you are a genius because you make a very skilful and difficult to master task look easy
Thank you Paul
That's a great video again Steve
Not a tutorial? I heard one guy's story when he was apprentice, the first year he wasn't allowed to measure, mark, or cut anything, but to hand the tools and watch his master. This is tutorial and thank you for that :D
Thank you, I understand I spent hours and hours as a child watching Grandad he said I New how to turn before I started.
Another excellent video Steve, brilliant mate.
Cheers
Mike
Thanks Mike always a pleasure to hear from you. 👍
Great steady rest. I wonder I UHMWP would work as well without the burning. I never much found wheel type rests effective enough. Great work Mr Jones
Would plastic melt?
Sorry I didn’t see your reply. I don’t know. It’s crazy stuff. I guess briar wood would be the best. Highest burning point of any wood. Used for tobacco pipes. lol.
If only I could have half your ability with the skew, I would be happy. I came across your name when i was reading Woodturning Magazine in an artical by Adam Cornish he recommended you highly.
Thank you, I have thanked Adam for the mention.
Please keep going making such great videos
I will try
Steve,
I watched this a couple of times. Today I picked up on tucking the handle between the body and forearm. Using a rithym cutting the beads. I may be using to much pressure holding the bevel on the work, it gets very shiny, burnished? if I let up the pressure or back up a little a skate happens. Maybe you are using your right hand to hold the bevel, it seems like it is guiding the skew. So this leaves the left hand to hold the tool on the rest? Its going good just seems too exhausting for what I get done. Do you have a book out ? Thanks for this video.
I don’t have a book. The right hand does almost all the work the left hand does little more than guide and keep the tool on the rest.
Thank You.
Another question if I may, does the larger handles of your tools allow better control? Like the size of tennis racket handle or baseball bat. I keep watching and learning. Thanks.
Yes the longer handle allows you to anchor to your body better giving more control
I was using the some way.Great job.
Thank You
Great job
Thank you
Thanks Steve as always a helpful video and much appreciated. It got me wondering what comes first- body movements or correct cutting. I'm guessing they are so linked that you can'tdo one without the other.
They are linked, you can turn using just your hands and arms and many do but you have less control. I was taught straight away to have the tool in contact with the arm or body and it comes as second nature.
Thanks. Will need to watch this a few times.
@@woodturner21 so was I taught that way, & when I don’t-which as a newbie-happens unless I consciously apply that teaching.
excellent skills my freind
Stunning skills
Thank you Ray
Just like watching "Dancing with the Stars."
Lol, thank you
I really must spend more time with my skew
Hi Steve, again a great video. What's that black Material in your Lunette? Is it Leather? And what's your lathe speed?
Greetings Dennis
Lathe speed is 1200rpm
The black you see is just the scorch marks on the wood from 1,000’s of spindles. I occasionally add a little carnauba wax but that’s all.
@@woodturner21 Thanks for the information, think I build this for myself, because I have to turn 25 trailles for some old stairs.
It will help. You need to turn the diameter accurately to the cut out so you then don’t need much pressure. If you place it on a section you will reduce later you can remove and marks it makes.
@@woodturner21 I made my own today, and it works great. Thanks again!🙂
Great glad to of helped
you are a machine up close of that steady rest wood be cool. what lathe you running?
Thank you, there is a video of it on my channel. This lathe is an old home made wooden bed lathe.
I'd like to see him do that with Cocobolo , or marblewood ....
I have done cocobolo, it’s exactly the same technique but takes longer. Where it takes one cut you need two. Check out my Facebook page or instagram and there is videos using Lignum Vitae, black Palm etc.
Love the old-style steadyrest. Is it lined in leather?
No I just coat it with carnauba wax occasionally
Nice job bro
Thank you
Doing great without a copier!
Thank you
Respekt!👍👏
Thank you
Brilliant :) ॐ
Thank you
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯👌👍🤝
Thank you
Can you tell me what the skew and bevel angles are on your skews ?
I don’t measure them I freehand grind by eye. But approx 30 degree bevel and 75 degree Skew
@@woodturner21 Thanks

Steve you are "non pareil" with a skew
Thank you for your kind comment.
