I don't know about anyone else but I follow Steve Jones (of this forum occasionally) on YouTube as Woodturner21, but my son sent me this Twitter link today, I never knew he had a twitter account.

But here again is an excellent demonstration of his skew skills https://twitter.com/TheWoodturners/status/965586240643923968

Absolutely remarkable, but try writing your workshop notes with a pencil Steve's been playing with!  ;D

I like the 5 oct 2017 video of him turning with a snow shovel, who needs a skew when you have a snow shovel.  ;D

Knowing how often I break the lead in a pencil when I am sharpening them this is very impressive, such a delicate touch. Thanks for showing us this Bryan.

I saw this and am going to have a go at it just to try. Perhaps need to buy a big pack of pencils first though. LOL

I diamond hone my Skews and they are still not as sharp as Steve's appear to be. I'd love to know his secret.

Hi
So that's what they mean when they say get some lead in your pencil?
