What am I doing wrong?
This tool keeps kicking my ass despite practice and watching tons of youtube tutorials. Thanks to all the catches I got I fear putting the tool to the wood.

Note the height on the tool rest in the videos your watching for learning. It may be your issue.

I've experimented with the tool rest incessantly. I really think I'm too peabrained to learn how to use the skew chisel without hands-on training.
All the other lathe tools I handle just fine though.

The skew chisel is a cunt. Fucking kicks at me every time, which makes me put it down rather than persevere.
Fucking thing.

might be a stupid question, but you've actually taken the time to sharpen it properly? you didn;t just pull it out of the package and start running, did you?
skews suck, i'm not saying they don't but getting it sharp as piss really helps.

Make sure it's as sharp as possible, and keep the tool rest as close to the workpiece as possible without it touching.
