January 7, 20215 yr Popular Post In my shop, there are just 2 spokeshaves. The one in front is by Seymour Smith & Sons....the other...haven't a clue ( hanger hole was done by me) No-Name was having issues, was chattering more than it was cutting....took it apart.. The cutter needed it's back flattened, and the bevel honed. The cap was ROUGH...needed the bevel polished up, the underside flattened to match the iron/cutter....but....the "bed" for the iron to sit on....60 grit sandpaper would be almost smooth....we have ways .. Still a bit more to smooth out. Needle file, run all the way to the back, as the iron sit back there, too iron and cap done, bed cleaned and flat... Take it for a test drive on some White Oak...mmma Nosing profile? So, I can use one of these two.. Until it feels a bit dull, and simply switch over to the other one....always nice to have a back-up..
January 8, 20215 yr Funny you should show these. I have a Stanley much like the ones you have . Guess like planes how many ways can you make one. I also have a wooden one I really like . The blade could probably never be replaced and is bent at ends with long taper which goes up thru the handle. This image I just found is very similar but mine has a much better finish.
