Many of you will have seen this clip on my Facebook page.
I can not believe the fact it was reached by 22,000 people so if must be liked. I thought that a few of you who are not on facebook might like it so I uploaded it to YouTube.
This video is totally un edited and real speed. Please note you should take all safety measures required if copying.

Steve,
Again you show what a lifetime working with tools can teach you. Your control and sureness of your actions come out in the speed with which you create the leg.
You've explained about grinding the skew before, but the skew angle looks very flat in the video, almost but not quite straight. Is it a very low angle you use please?

I really enjoy watching your videos Steve. Am I the only one who finds them very relaxing?!

Thanks rubbish internet here on hold but hope this posts.
My skew is slightly straighter than standard. I freehand grind so not sure of the angle but here's a pic.

Thanks for the picture Steve.
Slightly less than what is normally seen as the skewed angle but much more than it looked in the video.

As ever, Steve, an interesting and very worthwhile video to watch. Your tool rest height seems quite high, especially given the way that you skim the skew almost over the top of the timber.

Thanks Les it is slightly above center. It makes using the skew easier.

Nothing amazing about that - superb skills and good camera work will hopefully always sell.

Never get tried of watching your videos Steve, the skills you have developed over your many years of turning show.
Question about your image of the grind, it looks like you grind away a little steel each side where the bevel meets the flat bar, do you do this for a reason?
All the best

Thanks Ed,
yes I grind like that to give a cleaner cut when rubbing bevel especially while turning concave sweeps.
