Hi Joe,
A few hours tuition can do wonders to boost your confidence. Another way is to join a good hands on club although they are few in number.
You will find members with various levels of skill who are more than willing to pass on their skills and experience.

Hi There glad you enjoyed your course, I wish I could get to a club or a course but being unable to drive because of a medical disability I can't get to one so learning from a book and dvd (Woodturning, A foundation course by Keith Rowley) and trail and error. Hope you have many happy hours of turning now you have lost your fear of the Skew Chisel.

Hi winemaker,, I got so much from the course,,and sure Keith Rowleys book has been one of my guidances so far,, but that "hands on" guidance is what I need,,
Hey ,,if I lived near you, I"d take you to a course,,
(p"haps my sign in should have been "winedrinker")

back from the shed and a"int been "skew"ered

Brendan Stemp does a great tutorial on using the skew on his youtube channel.
