I'm looking for material on how to use a skew (and increase my skill). I'm getting ok with it but still get some catches on beads (when I can actually roll them correctly). I can plane cut just fine and getting ok at taking tiny bits off the face of a spindle without ruining the piece (most times). I'm using the Alan Lacer grind (I've tried a bunch and like that one best - i dislike the straight grind).
I've watched as much material as I could find (many times over) from the following:
Alan Lacer
Alan Batty
Richard Raffan
Matt Monico
Some craft supplies videos
Woodturner21 on yt (amazing but far beyond my skill for now so I just watch him for motivational purposes)
Regardless, there's nothing close by where I can get hands on with someone skilled (Warren County, NJ) and I can't travel far due to a back injury so I'm limited to yt and that kind of thing. Anything anyone can suggest? This is a tool I really want to learn. When I first got my lathe, my intent was bowls (which I'm still really into) and some legs for the furniture I make - the skew was the furthest thing from my mind but i really have this impulse to become at least moderately proficient with it before doing anything else. Thanks in advance.
