Paul,

If you are trying to make some of the skew cuts that Raffan shows, be
sure that you have a RADIUS edge skew. A straight edged skew doesn't
work well for some of his cuts. If you are trying to roll a bead as on
the end of a shaker style peg (coat hook) the skew has to move in three
directions simultaneously. The blade has to roll, be pushed toward
center, and as you get close to center, the end of the handle has to
swing in a horizontal arc. also be sure that you are cutting only with
bottom i/8" edge of the blade with the obtuse point down.
