Any time during the day. This arvo if you like.

Love to come down but stuck at work with my "good clothes" on. I will arrange a time with you in the near future, thanks.

After slowing the clip down a couple of times I could see what Glenn was doing and with a little practice I managed to make this cut, not hard when you use the correct part of the skew. , 11 secs is a pretty fair effort for a top, don't think anyone's coming near you with that time...but how quick can you do with just a skew?

Dunno, might have to try.

26 seconds with the skew, still 11 seconds with a gouge .

Thats quick !

Did you turn them in same orientation as the video, or with the stem facing the tailstock?

also what diameter approx.?

Same as video, it is the only way to get a nice point on the bottom. 45mm stock. We used to turn hundreds of the things from the offcuts of balusters.

Pretty quick, but I'm closing in on ya! Another 10 years of practice and I'll catch you. Best I've been able to do with just the skew chisel is 40 secs and that required both the 1 inch and the 1/2 inch chisels.

Yes and if it was 11 seconds with Jessica Alba,you guys would boast if someone let you watch.
