    Very cool! Also my guess for magnetic blades, they use a magnet to hold them during grinding and didn't demagnetize the parts after.

      Argh! I can see how that would work. You might be onto something there. Cheers mate 🍻

      These worked great right out of the box and were very fun to use. Sexy pair of spokeys. :D

      Your chairs I'm guessing are testimony to how good they are on a real project 😊 Did I hear you say you haven't been filming them though?

    I see a whole new wall tool cabinet in youre future! They look good, I wouldn't mind trying them myself`!

    • @FixitFingers

      Yeah these little box displays I will outgrow at some stage 😊 MTC have put a lot of work into design and pitching these at an under serviced part of the market. They are not Canadian level good, but they are half the price, much better than the genetic cheap options, and none of the work of restoring good old tools. I'm sold on the brand.

    I've never been one to have the patience for hand tools 😂 but I must admit a spoke shave is something I've always wanted!

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem

      Well you have tools to make things roundy-roundy already so perhaps not a priority ;) Not an everyday tool, but should come in handy an a good option to have on hand.

    The hollow grind on the bevel is a bonus! Saves you having to remove metal across the entire bevel, your honing can be concentrated where it is needed and speeds up the process.

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem +1

      Hadn't thought of it like that, I'm still very new to the world of hand tools and sharpening, I'll take it as a win then 😊

    Those look awesome and well made. Great review

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem +1

      They sit very nicely in the middle cost and quality point between the expensive Canadian brands and cheap big box brands 😊

  • @graduallywizardly
    @graduallywizardly Před rokem

    Yay! They are so good. Every time I head in to Timbecon I do play with these and the new smoothing plane as well.

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem

      I'm really enjoying them! Can actually remove a bit of material quickly and really come in handy shaping stuff that otherwise I'd have figure out sketchy jigs followed by much sanding

    Hi James, That Melbourne tool company makes some nice tools. And that m2 steel blade edge looks deadly sharp and a lot of fun to use. I have a couple old Stanley ones and have not been really successful using them, probably cause my rasp is sharper haha. Ok you have inspired me, I will have a go sharpening mine and try making something with one of mine. I think viewers dig it when you use these weird old tools.

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem +1

      Especially if you are a power tool user breaking out something without a cord tends to get a reaction 😅 I gave my planes and these a hammering today and the cut really well. Only on oregon, but still, not sign of wear on them after the session in the shed.

    Nice video mate! I have a fascination for hand tools. When push comes to shove however I inevitably just use my grinder! 🤷‍♂️great video and beautiful tools

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem

      For the moment I find I an breaking them out a bit. Once I get a thicknesser that may decrease a little but for quick little chamfers and shaping small parts they should continue to find a home :)

      I am having great fun. I even got given a Veritas apron 😅 These are mid range, not Canadian, but a fair step above a standard Stanley.

    Very honest! I like how the things look hanging on your wall too! Those tools look very useful in many ways.

      I'm gonna run out of space soon, but until then little boxy displays can fill in the gaps. Will get started on this one tomorrow 😊

      There is that certain something about handtool design that lends it's to art moreso than power tool cousings... might be the motors ;)

      Who was it? Seriously, the design on the MTC kit has been exceptional and one of the things encouraging me to try out hand tools

  • @AussieWoodshed
    @AussieWoodshed Před 4 měsíci

    I would say that is sharp. MTC seems to have done a great job with their take on the Stanley 151 spoke shave. I'm guessing that is cork on the handles? Should make it fairly comfortable to use.
    After watching this I'm considering purchasing these and maybe the cabinet scraper too, been eyeing them for a while.

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks for the mini-binge today! Yes cork handles, they are lovely but I am a little worried how long they will last. Really beautiful tools to use and very glad they fit the sharpening jig!

  • @SandyMasquith

    Those look like very nice spokeshave. I find, even in a power tool shop, there are times when a spokeshave is almost necessary. There’s that little curve or round where you can’t get a router and you have to finesse the surface or round over an edge. Really handy tools! I have a good flat-bottom spokeshave, but I’m looking for a decent round-sole one. I wonder if MTC can ship to America?

    • @FixitFingers
      @FixitFingers  Před rokem +1

      I've run into exactly the issue several times where I've ended up doing something sketchy or a huge amount of sanding to achieve what 5 minutes with one of these could do. Plus, they are very fun 😊 MTC are very new, designed by one of our big woodworking shops. Oz only for now but perhaps one day will get overseas.
