Making a simple spokeshave (Paul Sellers)

[@seanpatterson1609]

Great video! This is now on my list of tools to build.

[@blueroseyt]

First time viewer of your vids, at 1:20 i realized you built a 2 x72 ALL WOOD grinder, I stopped the vid and subscribed. and yes, you should make a vid of the grinder, if not how you built it, just show lots of dimensions and lots of angles, most of us can figure out the rest.

[@RobinCoomans]

Thanks man! I made that thing one Saturday afternoon.. afterwards I realized I should have made a video. I could post some pictures with measurements. Thanks for watching!

[@homemadetools]

Nice spokeshave. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎

[@bl0p3z01]

Nice job, Paul "wood" be proud. 😀 👍🏽

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

How does that blade cut wood ? It defies logic --cannot understand how it can cut when screwed down level ---used Stanley type --spokeshaves 55 years --but this DIY is impossible --tried it --does not cut jack sh**----anyhow nice video !

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

No dimensions given --do we guess the angle of that cutaway you made in the wood ?

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

What length and width----is that steel blade ?---or shud I guess ?

[@bluesalamander8351]

do you have a vid on how to make the 2x72 belt grinder?

[@RobinCoomans]

Blue Salamander No I'm sorry, only on making a large grinding wheel for it. Thanks for watching!

[@LukePighetti]

Do those circular saw blades actually take the heat treat? I always assumed they were just mild steel.

[@RobinCoomans]

Depends, apparantly some saw blades won't work for this. But all the blades i have used hardened up nicely! I would suggest to try it with a small piece before you make something out of it. Thanks for watching!

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Why not show that essential clearance gap between the bevel blade and the body --to allow shavings to pass through efficiently ---this is NEVER shown at all !

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

How do you drill holes in. hi -carbon saw blade steel? Did you anneal it ?---???

[@RobinCoomans]

@@CarlWinter-oy8uf yes anneal it and HT afterwards 👍

[@kodoan411]

Please scrounge up two lag screws and bolt that vise to your table - or at least screw the vise into a piece of plywood and use two C clamps to secure it to the table. Then, find two pieces of scrap wood and make wood jaw inserts.

[@KipdoesStuff]

it is the swivel that is the problem.

[@Jped277]

I saw you harden the blade but did you not temper it back? I put mine in the oven at 400⁰ for an hour. Its keeping an edge well and still shaves after a full day of use. I'm afraid without tempering you're blade may break or chip.

[@KipdoesStuff]

people seem to think this thing gets abused, lol. it will be fin, just need to sharpen it more often.

[@Jped277]

Seems like if u hardened it but didn't temper it, it would probably hold an edge longer... provided it doesn't chip

[@Dbaxter261]

Saw blades are already heat treated not sure why you would need to re do it in the first place ?

[@Jped277]

@@Dbaxter261 grinding the blade caused the steel to loose it's temper and become more brittle than I liked. I kinda just like to over do things to learn the process

[@fatal-sf7rh]

What kind of belt was that

[@ricardomerlo4878]

Excellent work. I ask you a question: if I use a scissor blade to prune trees, is it necessary to temper it? Greetings from Argentina

[@RobinCoomans]

If you are carefull you wont need to temper. Just keep it cool when grinding, if you see discoloration (brown/blue) then you need to grind past that spot or heat treat the piece! Good luck!!

[@ricardomerlo4878]

thank you, thank you very much for the advice my friend

[@RobinCoomans]

No problem!

[@walterrider9600]

thank you

[@JolienBrebels]

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

[@RobinCoomans]

Absolutely!

[@RobinCoomans]

rg-guitarrista-cristiano Thanks!

[@donatellasalvato9185]

wow!!!! wonderful!

[@RobinCoomans]

donatella salvato thank you! Be sure to watch paul sellers video too, for the original design. Thanks for watching!

[@ShishigamiLP]

nice :) I'm thinking right now, i might try to make a two-sided one for my toolbox, i need to save space.

[@RobinCoomans]

Thanks! Oh that's great idea, never thought of doing it like that.. I might have to make a new one ;) Thanks for watching!

[@MegaDavyk]

I want to like it but your spoke shave has a fundamental flaw with no space at the back for shavings to pass through it will clog up fairly fast and this is easily avoidable.

[@RobinCoomans]

Hi, there is a space in the back! Maybe this is not clear in the video. Thanks for watching

[@Rachmanlecksan]

[@scotthewes2431]

Paul sellers uses HAND TOOLS, not power tools. But hey you should get a few points for using a hand chisel???

[@KipdoesStuff]

use what you have

[@markf3416]

Could have been a finger shave in the drill press, omg....

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Light is bloody awful !

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Does not work --tried every trick ---may as well import a decent Stanley spokeshave ---this is a joke !

[@АлексИванов-е9б]

Чего за хрень сделал? Как она работает и для чего она? Если это вариант струга который в принципе и не нужен, то покажи МЕДЛЕННО как эта хрень работает а видео как ты делаешь эту хреновину не надо показывать это не интересно.

Couldn't hear a thing he said...Next

If you are too dumb to follow along then good bye
