Great video, straight to the point and clear views of what you are doing.
Thank you
Great video answered all the questions that I had and some that I didn’t even know I had thank you for sharing your skills with this tool it will help me in my woodworking🙏
Great video - thanks for sharing! I bought a spokeshave as a newbie a few years ago, but didn't really know what to do with it - now I do!
Thank you, nice to hear that my video helped you
Thanks a lot for such a thorough explanation of what this tool can do.
Thank you for watching and commenting
So nice to see it being pushed not pulled. Nice one.
Thanks 👍
A superb video,i didn’t know if i should buy one or not as i was dubious about how to use it.Thanks to this video i will buy one.
It's a useful and versatile tool
According to my belief this video is the best on the subject.Thank you for making it possible for us.
Thank you
Absolutely excellent. Thank you for a very clear lesson.
Glad it was helpful!
I love it. Those curly shavings are wonderful! Thanks mate, lots of good stuff in here. The diamond file sharpening is an especially good little tip. Cheers Dimitris.
Thanks man, yes the diamonds save a lot of time. I use them in almost any tool that needs sharpening!
There area lot of videos out there on using spokeshaves. None as simple and easy to understand as this one. Great video!
Thank you
Ευχαριστώ πολύ πολύ... from Sandy Bay, Tasmania. I bought one months ago but never used it... and when I did a month ago I didn't get good results. Your video is VERY helpful. Best regards.
Thanks it takes a while to learn how to use it. But once you do it you’ll love it!
I've just received one that I got on Ebay, and this was a good simple video on how to use them.
Brilliant video, very informative and educational.
Thank you
The better the tool, the better the result. Good tutorial, sir.
Thank you
Very nice tutorial, Dimitris!
Thanks man
cool , I'm waiting the mail for my first spoke shave , thanks for the explanation . 😊👍
Thank you
Some cabinetmakers like to have three spokesshaves for different purposes - one with a flat sole for flat work and rounded corners, one with a cambered sole for inside curves, and one with a concave sole for outside curves. You can get away with just one with a flat sole and a small curve in the front and rear for all three, wherein adjusting the depth of cut will allow you to get inside curves, and the flat portion of the sole will allow for flat work.
Nice tutorial, thanks for sharing
Thank you my friend
Super helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for watching and commenting
What's the sharpening jig used here? I've been looking around and only found unstable junk ones
Thanks heaps excellent video
Thank you
That's a cool tool! Cheap too!👍😎
It is indeed! And it can work in so many situations!
@@ScrapwoodCityYep. I'm getting ready to start making a guitar neck. One of those might be helpful!👍😎🎸🎶
Good job... tnx
thank you
nice presentation
thank you

Спасибо за видео!

I purchased a flat bottom first, but have now added a round bottom for tight radius.
Nice
I have one of these, but I'm not really sure why I should use it? What is it made for? Good video
I use it to down size dowel if need, and just to shape something after cutting it with a jigsaw. I had to today for instance down size a 22 mm dowel down to 20 mm. Doing it with sandpaper takes forever....got it done in about 2 minutes with the spokeshave :)
I use one of these to shave every morning
Lol, cool idea!
Great video man, even its razor sharp my spokeshave is rigged in wood and not moving smoothly, how can i adjust the blade so it moves like in the video ?
I think you should try to set it so it creates thinner savings. Even the slightest adjustment makes a difference. Experiment with it for a while and you'll get it!
Is there any of these for rounding wood like one for shaving snooker cues.
They do make concave spokeshaves that would work for that. Although you could get it done with a normal flat bottomed one like this in the video I think.
When you are rounding the corner, are you just gradually shaving away the different section of the curve until you have the radius that you need?
Yes
Thank you. I have a question.... Can I use a spoke shave to improve the roundedness of a wooden circle?
Thank you. You definitely can. Just follow the grain direction. Especially on end grain
Kahase order kiya
Mine doesn't have typography on the blade. Is the bevel up or down when installing the blade?
Been there, done it, got the T-shirt B-)
Liked the video, thu!!
Thank you my friend
Some great tips for beginners. Good job, mate. 👍
Have you given up talking on your videos?
Thank you. I might talk again at some point! But it seems people didn't really like it! So for now I will add text if I want to say something! We'll see, everything is an on going experiment!
@@ScrapwoodCity
Wow, people did not like you talking?
How bizarre...
It seems so impersonal now, like very sterile without you engaging and acknowledging your audience.
Cannot please all of the people all of the time, only some of the people some of the time...
Either way, I will still watch your videos, mate. 👍
@@ScrapwoodCity άθελά σου έφτιαχνες βιντεάκια για asmr, όταν είχες μόνο ήχους...θα μπορούσες να κάνεις μία ενότητα με ήχους από εργαλεία και διάφορες εργασίες και μία άλλη κατηγορία όπου θα μιλάς κανονικά...
Dumb question, but: what are the purposes of the thumb screw and regular screw? Should they both be tightened down? I understand that they're to lock the blade in place, but why are there two?
The smaller screw is just the loactaor screw for the red back place, it positions it in the correct spot to ensure correct edge position on the blabe. The larger screw is adjusted by hand to increase or decrease tension on the blade to either allow blade adjustment (loosen the screw slightly and either wind the blade in or our) or tighten to put pressur tr=hrough the back plate onto the blaade to =enable correct use when shaveing. Same thing as in a plane
Is this tool which sell in AliExpress?
Does it work on really hard wood
If it is sharp and used properly it definitely does
Great video but what is the green stuff? Sorry I'm new to this
Polishing compound
It's chromium dioxide stropping compound, Search CZcams for making /using a strop to learn more
I buy one of those t shirts
Thank you, it helps a lot! :)
Make a BOUZOUKI plz i love BOUZOUKI
lol, maybe someday
Im from greek and i play tjouras paglama mpouzouki
Ωραίος.Θελω να φτιάξω ένα ηλεκτρικό μπάσο.Νομιζω κάτι τέτοιο χρειάζομαι.
Δεν είναι απαραίτητο. Μπορείς να κάνεις και με λίμες και ρασπες το μπράτσο. Αλλά σίγουρα θα γλιτώσεις πολύ χρόνο με το παστράγουλο
@@ScrapwoodCityΤο σκέφτομαι neck through οπότε δύσκολο το βλέπω με λίμα να τρίβω ολόκληρο το σώμα.Για αρχή αυτό και μετά λίμες.Ευχαριστω για την απάντηση.
is that good enough to shave my swollen door?
I didn’t know you can use it in both directions.
Indeed you can. And you should depending on the grain
Will you post the T-shirt to me if I buy one ?
Teespring will post it to you
Is the price in USD ?
I am not sure, I guess it depends on your location
Εγώ πάντως αποφεύγω ακόμα να τροχίζω σκαρπέλα και σγρόμπες αγγαρεύω τον δάσκαλο που μας κάνει ξυλουργική γιατί ακόμα φοβάμαι όι θα τα κάνω χάλια !!!
Εντάξει αλλά πρέπει! Εϊναι η μισή τέχνη!
ΛΑΔΙ, hmm...and that looks like a good hairy Greek forearm.
Χαχαχα
Without wooden wagon wheel spokes being much in demand these days, those tools pretty much just live in the junk drawer in the garage. As kids we got more use out of a course rasp to round off our wooden sling shots.
Well, I use it all the time, especially for making guitar necks!
Come on now. These videos must improve. As well as being a woodworker with over 85 years experience and having never ever made a mistake, I am also an expert film maker. Let me give (okay, sell) you some advice.
No music? What have you learned? You must have really loud, bass thumping, music to prove that you are one of the boys.
Good camera angles just do not work. You must hang the camera upside down and take it out of focus. The way you are doing it allows everyone to see exactly what you are doing. Doh!
Sharpening. You are really missing out here. You should be telling everyone that the best oil to use on the stones comes from the stones of the Alluerga tree - but only when it is grown on west-facing hills above a saline river. As it happens, only you have that combination but are prepared to sell some of your rare stock of alluerga tree at an enormous cost. So you make mega money and only send out rancid olive oil
These are just a few of my suggestions to make your videos better and earn more money. I would add more but the straitjacket makes typing difficult and the nurse is due any minute with my medication. Well, it’s been great talking to myself and my pet mongoose who lives on my shoulder. Speak to you soon
Lol, thanks for watching and commenting my friend
Love this! I needed it, cheers
Vvhn
And...for those of us who don't have helpful typography on our blades to orient them?
@@stevanewald106 genius - if only I'd thought to do that before disassembling it. I guess I'll just take a 50/50 chance, try it, and flip it over if it doesn't seem to be working as it should.
.
couldn't you at least speak?
I tried adding voice over for a period of time. Most people didn't like it and also left a few unfriendly comments. It was also much more work for me. I am Greek and English is definitely not my native speaking language. So I decided to just stop it.
I much prefer it without speaking, it gets right to the point and only shares the necessary information. Also a lot easier to watch it at 2X speed and still get all the info.
Basically, it means get a normal router, stop this nonsense and save lots of time to drink beer instead.
Lol. Drunk with a router; not a good idea. Lol
Very helpful, thanks!
Nice to hear that :)
Thank you
You are welcome
