Thread: Smoothing concave and convex curves

Sharpened the blades razor sharp for both the flat and rounded spokeshaves ( see the thread here: Sharpen Stanley spokeshave 151 blade)

Had a go on the elongated S curves using a spokeshave for the first time ever. Did not need the rounded spokeshave as the flat tool did the job nicely. As Rod pointed out above, it really needs a light touch to flatten the bumps. Turned out pretty well for a first go, happy with the result. Looking forward to an even better result tomorrow when I tackle the other identical workpiece

Many thanks to all the contributors above for their ideas and encouragement

Hi I’m guessing you don’t have the Wadkin at home but at work. They sure do draw heaps of power on start up and take a long time to run down. They are so so accurate it’s not funny.

Have the Wadkin set up in my bedroom, stevenjd

It’s at home.
Ive a wee shed out back with a bit of kit.
