So Grateful and Thankful that You Made This Video!
Alan thanks for a great tutorial. I watched the whole program first and now I am studying each section diligently. Will spend next month or two just practicing, one lesson at a time. I plan to grind, practice and fail at times with the skews I already own. When I have more successes than failures, I plan to purchase Alan Lacer Skews.

Very clear and concise information on using and sharpening the Skew
A tremendous tutorial for those of us that at one time were petrified to use the skew. Alan's ability to explain the fundamentals is almost as good as having him right next to you at the lathe. I look forward to attending one of his classes in the future for this very reason.

Very helpful!
I have used the skew for several years, but knew that I wasn't using it to it's full potential. After following the sharpening instructions closely, I had immediate improved results. The instructions and demonstrations are clear and informative. Putting it all together at the end with the practice project was like watching magic! After practicing the cuts myself for a bit, I look forward to reviewing the 2nd DVD.
