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....
I wish you all great time in your shop and thank you for supporting my work.

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.
@@naturaIIydifferent its dam scary, only thing worse is a bowl gouge catch hitting you up side the head
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 watched dozens of skew tutorials, and this is by far the best I’ve seen.
Thank you very much, glad to hear that
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....🤗
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
Your videos are EXCELLENT!
You occasionally say that you are not as good as some of the long-standing wood turning experts, and while that *may* be so, what I do know from watching your videos *and* the videos by those same old masters is that you are, by far, a *much* better teacher.
I have worked in the video industry for twenty-years. Making a video - pre-production planning, changing camera angles, editing, rendering and uploading, etc., is hard work. The effort you put into your videos is clear.
Thank you. You are a gift to the community and an inspiration to me as I prepare to buy my first lathe.
Thank you soo much, I really appreciate this and indeed a lot of work goes into videos and I always try to be better, and regards skills, I'm still young and eager to learn and grow so I'll get there 😁
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 ☺️
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!!
You are a very gifted teacher Tomislav. What an enjoyable 50 mins. Love to work under your guidance in a 1 or 2 day workshop
Hopefully one day could be organised 😀,thank you soo much
Wow! This is an incredible video, detailed and fully understandable, with superb close-up camera work. It amazes me that you as a production turner can find the time to publish these great videos with such frequency. Very helpful, Tomislav, and much appreciated.
Thank you very much, well sometimes if things get slower I publish more, and also Croatia isn't huge market so I keep my work nicely spread😀...
I love doing these videos and help out other as much as I can, and Usually I do few videos in one day to batch them out👍.
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☺️
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
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 🤗
Have been turning regularly for over 15 years. Watched hundreds of UA-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 ☺️
Like most everyone else, I believe this is one of the best skew chisel tutorials available, thanks for all your videos.
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 🤗
Great lesson on the use of the skew Tomislav.
Thank you
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 😀
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 ☺️
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 🤗
The best explanation of using the skew I have seen. I will be trying those techniques tonight.
Awsome to hear that, thank you
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😅
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 🤗
Thank you so much for showing sp clearly how and why catches happen.
Honored to be able to help out ☺️
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 instruction. Easy to understand the subtle details to avoid catches. Thanks for the tutorial.
Thank you, very glad to hear that
Hi Tomislav,
Many thanks for the skew tutorial, I have been using mine with some good results and lots of mistakes, but now I have seen your video things can only get better.
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
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 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 🤗
Wow this was so helpful! I couldn't have imagined a better demonstration! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge/experience!!
Glad to help out ☺️
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 ☺️
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... 😀
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
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
I just learned I am great at creating "abstract art" !!
We all have done it, no worries
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 ☺️
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
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 🤗
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 😀
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 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 😀
Excellent, one of the best wood turning teaching videos I have ever seen 👍👍
Thank you very much
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 🤗
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
Got to be just about the best turning video out there😊
Thank you, really appriciate 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 ☺️
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 🤗
Excellent tutorial! and I think you underplay your skill level!
Thank you very much
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 🤗
A most excellent tutorial video!!!
Thank you
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
Thank you once again for such a clear and helpful tutorial.
Thank you Rachel ☺️
Absolutely the very best tutorial on use of skew. Thanks!
Thank you
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 ☺️
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 ☺️
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.
Thanks Tomislav!
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
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🤗
Thanks for sharing this Tommi, an ax excellent instructional video demystifying the “” on no dreaded skew”
Thank you Greg😀
Superb series - thanks for sharing your expert knowledge !
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
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 😀
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 🤗
A great thank you Tom for this really excellent remind about skew working
Thank you, glad you liked it
watched it twice, skews are a tremendous asset if you can use one.
The best tool for spindle work 😀
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 ☺️
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
Wow great view! Honestly one of the best skew videos Ive seen!
Thank you 😄
The best tutorial on skew I have ever seen. Thank you Tomislav 👏👍
Wow!! Excellent demonstration of the skew!! 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.
Wonderful demo and lesson.
A great instructional video. Thanks
🕶thanks Tomislav for another fantastic video.
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 🤗
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 🤗
Fantastic series on skews! Thank you.
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 🤗
This is a really fine tutorial. Thank you!
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
The best skew vidio I've ever seen.....Thanks
Newt
Thank you Newt, 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).
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 🤗
Very informative video,
Thank you for sharing with us.
Thank you for watching
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....☺️
That's an excellent teaching video! Thank you
Glad you liked it 😀
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 🤗
Truly inspirational. Thanks!
Thomis yet another great tutorial.
Great video, the skew is my favorite tool
Thank you I needed this I’m headed to the shop to practice with the skew
Thanks, glad to hear that 🤗
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 😀
Thankyou this video is easy to follow and has really helped me
Glad to hear that,thank you very much 😊
Nicely explained. Thank you
Very good information. Good safety points, thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for watching
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You are a great teacher😊
Thank you very much, I really appriciate that
Thanks for your demo, excellent use of cameras.
Thank you,glad you like it
Very helpful T, thanks and I will be watching this series more than once! Stay safe
Thank you very much 🤗
