    This is briljant and very valuable material for those who have already been wrestling with the skew chisel themselves, especially the nasty unexpected bite it can produce so now and then if you are still inexperienced. Thanks for the great instruction of this master !

    You make it look so easy. I decided recently that the only way to really learn to use a skew was to actually do a lot of skew turning - and it did help quite a bit. Just as I figured I had it down pat "A CATCH". After watching your video I think the problem is the angle I approach the wood with. So I'm watching the video for the second time and will go back to the lathe and see what happens.

      Torvig Johnson Thanks Torvig, it's my pleasure. My father is a woodworker, but he hasn't been turning at all. My grandfather was a woodworker and woodturner but I've not seen him--he passed away before I was born. I think it comes with the love to woodworking and practice. I've learned from my failures. I'm glad this is inspiring. Cheers

    jake I have the 3/4 and 1 inch oval skew and I believe I prefer it to the other types,,i was considering getting the 1 1/4 oval also for planning cuts,,what do you think,,,i know you have the alan lacer,,,,would you recommend getting it,,

    • @jakegevorgian
      @jakegevorgian  5 лет назад

      jeff oldham I like them all. Alan Lacer skew is also great for heavy and big diameter spindles. I also saw a round bar skew - I believe it’s made in U.K. Once you get the clue of how skew chisel works, any skew will work well. My preference is that the narrow sides of the skew to be rounded. It makes so much easier to make v groves.

  • @jakegevorgian
    @jakegevorgian  11 лет назад +1

    @David Smith thanks David! The Lacer skew is 3/8" thick, sure it can do the slicing :) as for sharpening it, I doing that it works well on the sanding disk sharpening. There is a video I made where in showing how I sharpen the Lacer skew.

    • @jakegevorgian

      jeff oldham thanks Jeff. I believe it's a 1-¼" wide skew made by Alan Lacer. It's a very good tool that can also serve as a chatter free scraper. I don't use it for my skew work because it's quite heavy.

  • @davidsmith8853
    @davidsmith8853 11 лет назад

    Nice work on the spindle Jake. I have a Raffan curved edge skew but I've been thinking about getting an Alan Lacer skew. Seems to me it's shape would lean more towards the slicing action of a katana sword. I have a wolverine sharpening system but still have trouble with the skew. How do you sharpen yours?

  • @jeffoldham3466
    @jeffoldham3466 7 лет назад +1

    jake what is the angle you prefer on your skew and do you have one that you prefer over the other,,like the alan lacer one for example,,thank you

    • @jakegevorgian
      @jakegevorgian  7 лет назад +1

      Dear Jeff, thank you for the question!
      I don't keep consistent angle on the "skew"l, however as long as it is skewed (anywhere from 90° to 45° exaggerated). However, it is important to note that what matters is the angle of the bevel. This too is an estimated angle. The idea is to "sweep" the bevel as back as possible, so that way the "V" cuts are deep. Skew is really a versatile tool that can be used in many different ways and applications. For example, my most favorite skew is the Oval skew by Robert Sorby, because it's lightweight, sharpens fast and has swept back and thin blade that maneuvers easily. However, when it comes to large diameter and long spindles, I tend to get a bit of vibration on the lathe. This vibration doesn't let me use the Sorby oval skew effectively, so that's when I use a heavy skew by Alan Lacer. To be honest with you, Lacer's skew is a wonderful tool that doesn't catch that easily, but I have changed the rounded "skew" to a straight skew, as I have trained myself not to catch anymore (most of the time, in reality, but not always :) With this said, Lacers skew also good for beginning, but then once advanced, it can be modified. I also wish that Alan Lacer had two rounded edges on his skew chisel, sometimes I like to make a deep V groove, but because Lacer's skew isn't rounded, it scratches my tool-rest ever so slightly.

    I can see Quite clearly that Your scew chisel is an extension of your hands. I just have to say what you have known for 10 years( I'm guessing)is what every man wants: to be ONE with the tool in his hands; to think it, and it happens. Too bad that too few are ready to do what it takes o get there: time on the lathe till you know what is going to happen, before it happens. We are made in HIS image, who was like this, creating the creation: THE MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE.

    • @jakegevorgian
      @jakegevorgian  6 лет назад

      jeff oldham mine is about 1-⅛”. To be honest with you I only sharpen it on a flat diamond stone, that’s why I’m not used to grinder sharpening. However, couple of months ago I saw a video where Tormek grinder came up with a new jig system designed for oval skew. It was amazing the way it made things so easy. On another note, I will be done with my current projects and will have time for woodturning videos. I will show how I sharpen my skew on a flat diamond sharpening stone.

  • @mmocny
    @mmocny 4 года назад

    Just wanted to say: I've never seen the technique used at 3:26. That looks like you are using a paring cut, but directly across end grain to rapidly cut a deep v groove... Typically you would see folks take a series of shallow cuts with the leading point tip of a skew, or maybe use a gouge to take more aggressive cuts.
    A deep cut across end grain would typically cause a nasty catch, but I guess if you ease into it, riding the bevel with a sharp skew, you can push the cut as far as you dare hold it steady?
    A technique which I'll have to test for myself!

    • @jakegevorgian
      @jakegevorgian  4 года назад

      I don’t know how to explain the technical aspect of it, as I mainly go by the feel, but from my experience this is what I can say...this technique works with dense and soft/medium hardness woods. It won’t work with exotic grains... imagine you’re planing an end grain of a board with your block plane without a leaver cup...say a bevel up block plane for example...as long as the cutting amount is acceptable by the thickness of the plane iron, you’ll get a chatter free smooth cuts. With the oval skew I can’t go very deep, because the thickness of the skew chisel is thin. Anyway, rely on your feel. Confidently cut an eight of depth, try going more and you’ll feel resistance and that’s when you stop the cut by repositioning the cutting tip (the pointy part of the chisel) to the deepest part of the cut. It will give you another sixteenth of an inch depth.
      Anyway...if you’re not in rush to make large amount of spindles, just take your time with the multiple cuts. This technique is used in mass production...
      Cheers
