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.

I have since put the radius on there. Helps for sure; thanks for that
suggestion (and the others who said it!)!! Does make a fair difference.

LOL, I'll say the ends are a complex movement. I started with some glued
up scrap cherry (y'know, very dry cherry isn't the easiest turning
stuff, especially the roughing part...) to make a peg for hanging my air
hose on. This is for practice of course. The peg started out way more
then long enough. By the time I got the end bead done even passably, it
was way too short Guess it will be hook for something smaller... Fun
and learning though.
