Post your woodwork here

ok thanks. R150 on Gumtree if anyone is interested.

Yes shaving your spokes. Its a spokeshave. Used for shaping round lengths or tapered rods. Not easy to use as said.

Anybody been to the Woodex show yet? Want to know if it's worth the schlep, someone just told me it's tiny

Shaping tight curves. Basically just a small plane.

Not used much these days since the advent of Routers, was an important tool of the trade years back.

I agree you can use it for that - but they can be used to clean up curves too - so my dad's set is of 3 - flat, concave and convex (and concave and convex don't work on spokes)

 

So for instance if you use a bandsaw to cut a rough curve in a piece of ply, then cleaning up the curve to a precise line is the trick - easier in ply than in wood with a grain which rips out really easily.

 

I asked him what he did with them - said he bought them for curved panel fitting on a yacht he built - nearly 50 years ago - guess one day they will be divvied up between the boys... I have my eye on his rebate plane - which is a cool toy - although practically a router will be quicker.

Finished, got an order for 10 more... Unfortunately not a paying customer, but rather for our entertainment area at our new factory!

Time to take some paying hub orders along with the 10 more

I look at the pile of off cuts and rejects in the corner of our factory and wish I had the time to build stuff with it. Maybe one day, when I retire...

Been planing a piece of Jarrah this arvie.  Blêrrie hell, that stuff is hard.

Worst scare I ever had was with Jarrah - I juuuuuuuuust caught the wrong edge of grain with the router. The piece shot itself right through a thin sheet of masonite and the router nearly went right acoss the workbench. The kind of mixed-up mayhem like touching tyres in a TDF sprint. Sweats!

Great under-rated tool, the spokeshave. Yup, old cartwheels and early car wheels spokes were made by hand with these. And, I suspect, old plane propellors.

 

You can pull it or push it. Dial the blade right back first. Then you can also angle it, if necessary, depending on whether you want to hog off more from one side or the other. Very necessary in tight spaces, or where you can't use a router.

 

I think a fair amount of Meyer von Weilligh's furniture is done by spokeshave (at least there's a pic on their website, but maybe they've got a CNC hiding in the background).

A few touch ups required, but otherwise done, now junior wants a matching bedside table...

Could mix up the order of those draws Mondrian-style?

That and also still very popular in boat building.

 

Also quite usefull for making square stock round when your lathe is broken or you don't have one, like you said, under-rated tool with many uses when people should reach for theses they often reach for 80grit sandpaper

Rebate plane works a treat with tennons
