Thread: A most excellent tool

Thank you Alastair, Dadovfor and ironically Mr Skew ChiDAMN for answering Richard and Sebastiaan. I also mean to post a tribute to the skew chisel as well and will try to take some pics showing how I use it. For this job I use the curved spokeshave first the further refine the curves with the skew chisel.

Laughing my A off here........ got a beard so the later won't work.... but the stud idea might be a goer. Have to replace some timber poles on the front porch.......... need a spoke shave.

I bought my first spokeshave for exactly that reason. I'd installed some new verandah posts and The Holder of the Purse decided the edges should be arrised.

I didn't have any handplanes at the time and saw the spokie in a garage sale...

for some unknown reason I have always had a hankering for the spokeshave even before I knew what it was called, as my sir name is Cooper I had an interest in just how they made them bloody barrels, & guess what one of the special tools is no not a hammer you guessed it a spokeshave
