Excellent instruction. After about 5 years of turning mostly cross grain pieces, I'm turning my attention to developing spindle turning skill and finally picking up my skews. This video was good help in that journey. Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill.
Powermatic is a great machine. It's a pleasure to work on such a lathe. Thank you very much for the very detailed video on the turning technique. Development of your channel
Thanks Kirk for doing these, It helps me remember thing things I missed when I was to busy geeking out over what you explained 30 seconds before in class.
This came at a good time for me. I'm trying to fear the skew less and use it more. This video showed me why I get catches turning beads. Eager to put my new knowledge to work. Thank you, Kirk.
The growl is caused by the slight shift of the work becoming off centre, so runout at the headstock end is causing vibration. Tighten the tail stock a tad then take a trim off the wide end to get the workpiece parallel / concentric again. Leaving the tailstock quill unlocked allows vibration to loosen the quill, thus increasing ability for the work to vibrate. Greetings from Tasmania Australia 👍😁🇦🇺🦘
Thank you for that info. I've just started turning and noticed a couple of times there is that change, the growl sound. Gotta say it worried me a bit, so I simply re-mounted my piece & it seemed to solve it. Happy New Years to you from Colorful Colorado USA 🇺🇲
Great see you at it Kirk, using a skew is always an adventure especially for beads no matter how many years I've been at it's the one tool I always default to but of the finish it leaves.
Wonderful demonstration for making beads 👍! At minute 48 ff you should explain that your chisel is not sharp any longer on short point! So you have to increase pressure against your workpiece and vibration comes up. Especially you could fasten your tailstock fixingscrew. That stabilizes the tailstock cylinder. Best wishes! Thom.
As a new turner, I have to admit the skew scares me! Your video was very good at pointing out the proper method to use. Definitely pointed out some mistakes I have been making …… I definitely need more practice 🥴🤠
What is the small black handle for on top of the tail stock please? I have a hole on my sears, but don't know what goes there.. my wood keeps comming off the taistock spur I think moves loose Thanks
You can turn it any size you want. We like the handle and the head to be close to the same size. In this case, the handle is approximately 12 centimeters and the head is 12 centimeters long and 10-12 centimeters in diameter. ua-cam.com/video/AekxfKOEn4g/v-deo.html
Surprised that you and the other instructor who I watched turning boxes that both of you put your hands on the wood while the lathe is on! I’ve been taught that for safety reasons you shouldn’t do that! So so is correct?

Thank you Craft Supplies and Kirk. Gives me
The courage to try the new skew I bought.

You're Welcome! Good luck in your shop.
Great turning. Very nice. Thanks
Kirk a very nice vid so enjoyed it you make it look so easy I know its not
Me encantan las tomas, la iluminación, los ángulos de cámara, que permiten ver a detalle lo que el Sr. DeHeer esta haciendo
Thanks, really good stuff in your videos
Wiiii, mi serie favorita esta de vuelta, mil gracias :D

Great video - thanks. I made one a while back Osage orange head, with black walnut handle wish you tube had a pic posting capability LOL
Kirk thanks again, your videos are so well done and very helpful/educational. Gotta get to Provo and take one in person! Happy New Year

Less talking more turning. Teaching made you a blowhard

Yes, you are right, that's a great tip! Thank you for watching the video!
Having taken your 201 Class, I encourage you to use the the A,B,C nomenclature for the cutting edge of gouge being used. I found it very beneficial.
Yeah, my grandmother did the wooden spoon thing too.
As a new turner, I have to admit the skew scares me! Your video was very good at pointing out the proper method to use. Definitely pointed out some mistakes I have been making …… I definitely need more practice 🥴🤠
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting ‘short hand’ holding the spindle roughing gouge when using it for finishing cuts. I do that with a skew.
When do you switch to the carbide tools, if you use them at all.
How large is the piece of wood
What is the small black handle for on top of the tail stock please? I have a hole on my sears, but don't know what goes there.. my wood keeps comming off the taistock spur I think moves loose
Thanks
It's a locking mechanism (bolt) to "lock" the quill in place. He appears to leave it loose to make periodic adjustments as he's turning...
what is the dimensions of the block.,,,
good evening,
great video.
Can you give me the measurements in centimeters, please.
I am a turner in France.
You can turn it any size you want. We like the handle and the head to be close to the same size. In this case, the handle is approximately 12 centimeters and the head is 12 centimeters long and 10-12 centimeters in diameter.

@@CraftSuppliesUSA thank you.
somehow i missed your formula. Would you mind spelling out the formula for the rpm?
Diameter X the RPM, should be a number between 6,000-9000.
Surprised that you and the other instructor who I watched turning boxes that both of you put your hands on the wood while the lathe is on! I’ve been taught that for safety reasons you shouldn’t do that! So so is correct?
Great explanations but too much publicity From youtube during the video
Sharpen your blade on your skew!
Mastering the skew? Bahahahahaha. The skew masters you.
Очень нудный мужчина и работа на уровне бестолковости.
Get to the point
