I love how he gently and carefully lowers each tool to the workbench, a real craftsman that loves and respects his tools! This video has great information on spokeshaves. Highly recommended!

This simple video is an exemplar of the best that YouTube can be. These how-to videos by humble soft-spoken craftsmen have no screeching or pounding heavy metal music, no fist pumping, just basic instruction in why and how something works, and how it can work for you. Thank you

I have a Stanley 151 and 080 but have not used them much. However I will sharpen both up and put them to work . Thanks for the vid.

Thanks. I’ll be buying a Stanley to assist in axe handle seating. Great instructional.

Even though I have a range of premium spokeshaves, I keep going back to my Stanley 64 fitted with a Ray Isles O1 blade and it is a joy to use and is more nimble that others you have shown or any of the premium shaves.

I have a Stanley #51 & a #80 plus a old wooden one that has square nails that holds the blade, All where great grandpa's..

Just a correction to one of the spokeshaves that you presented. The second last one with the wooden handles is made by Veritas and sold by Lee Valley Tools and not made by Lee Valley. A very well made spokeshave and very pricey as well. I wish that I could justify buying one, but unfortunately I have to maintain a reasonable price level. I have the vintage Stanley #51, a Veritas low angle shave and another larger Stanley #151 in great shape. They are wonderful tools for paddle making. I love them! Great for any craftsmen's arsenal of tools. Thanks for sharing your video. Cheers!

Thanks for the info. I saw one at an antique shop, but didn't know what it was.

I just had a very good laugh with your video. I loved it. Bet you thought it was not funny type of video though. The laugh was at the First Aid Kit. Everyone, go back and have a good look. A very nice First Aid Kit indeed. I have been woodworking for ~ 50 years, just retired, looking forward to more shop time. I was up before daylight, working on my hanging tool box, to be a show piece, and had a kick back on the tablesaw. I am now typing with one hand. The kickback pulled my hand into the blade, which I just tuned up my saw and put a top of the line blade on it - polished, at least it was sharp and working perfectly. I experienced a kickback and then an acute allergic reaction to the rotating, sharp blade. Five fingers were involved. Two seriously, though I still have them. Oh, I had just made a couple of nice push sticks, which I was not using. The cut I was making could not have been made with guards in place, I was convinced. This should have been made with a different tool. I do love the First Aid Kit though, and will build one to display in my shop - as a reminder to think twice, cut once.

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
