- Spokeshaves are wonderful tools, and there are many varieties. They have been around for centuries, and are just as relevant and useful today. We love using them!
We are please to say we are now Dealers in Australia for German made KUNZ Tools, who make a range of Spokeshaves based on the original Stanley Spokeshaves. - Jak na to + styl
Your videos are very educating and well done. Thank you for your time and hard work!
Thankyou, Aaron. I appreciate the feedback. Kind regards, Greg
Wish I could hear you, had to use closed captions
I am sorry. I don't know how to fix it! I am just a Cabinetmaker/Joiner - but am out of my depth with this media stuff!
Hello, I just purchased the same vintage spokeshave and discovered that one of the tangs are cracked off!
is there a way of repairing and or welding it back onto the blade? ... please let me know. Thank you, dee
I am sorry, but I have no idea how you would repair the blade if you have no way of welding or braising it. Distortion through the heat may be an issue too. It’s a shame!
Fantastic video!! What 2 spoke shaves would you recommend for creating wood spoons and love spoons
Thanks..Mark from South Carolina.
The No.51A (flat sole) is the best for shaping the outside (back) of the spoon bowl, and also the handle. The No.51AR (round sole) can be great for shaping the neck. A Sloyd knife can do this too, so if it was down to one spokeshave for spoon carving, I would go with the No.51 A.
Check out the Seasoned Wood Spoon Carving video on this channel, and you will see a spokeshave in use.
I hope this helps, Susan!
Thanks for the video.
Can you tall about the convex blade spokeshave by Kunz?
Rodrigo,
1. do you mean the No55 Spokeshave? the curved blade in the curved base - great for rounding anything with a radius less than the curcature of the base. We love them for smoothing further legs we have shaped with a drawknife. Tricky to sharpen and to set the blade, but awesome when they are wokring right! Worth the effort.
2. Or do you mean the No.51AR Spokeshave? The curved base with the straight blade. Great for shaving inside curves, where the radius of the curve in the wood is greater than the radius of the plane's sole. A bit trickier to use on the flat than the No.51/51A (with their flat bases) , however fantastic once you get the hang of it for shaving inside curves.
I hope these help! Kind regards, Greg.
sir, please find a way to boost your volume. at max i can barely hear you, let alone make out what you are saying
Sorry about that, Justin. I may be a highly skilled woodworker, but when it comes to media tech I admit I am really pretty crap! Not even average... Maybe the camera mic was not on the right levels or something like that... Kind regards,
Greg.
