Nearly broke my wrist with a dig in. Even when it worked, it left ridges in the timber .Chucked the skew in the bin. Dangerous tool. I use a gouges a parting tool, and scrapers now. And yards of sandpaper. Just takes me a little bit longer to get the end result.
Big enough gap between rest and work piece for a finger. OUCH
Wearing a ring and touching the spinning wood with that hand = no-no.
Otherwise a decent video. But when aimed at beginners, safety should be more prevalent IMO.

I still need lots of practice with the skew. I get dig ins on a regular basis. Thanks for the demo.

Thank you for this. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how you're supposed to use the skew until I saw you do it.
