How to Make a Poor Man's Spokeshave | Paul Sellers

[@alihaggis78]

Tip for filing curves. Instinct tells you to start your stroke flat and angle down as you push forward. This is the opposite of what you should do. If you start flat and tilt down you are dragging each tooth further along the material than needed, meaning that it fills up towards the end of the cut. You'll find your radius always ends up wrong because of this. If you start your cut pointing down and drop your hand through the push you'll end up with a better curve with less work as each tooth is only making a small cut.

[@genem2768]

This time Paul is literally outstanding in his field.

[@Ploutvonozec]

I like these videos so much. When Paul say it is poor man's, then it actually is. I it is really inspiring to see (and later use these approaches) what is possible with drill, chisel, hand saw and file. KZbin is full of videos, where poor man's tutorials requires you to have bandsaw, jigsaw with some adjusters and whatever, belt sander, drill press, CNC, space shuttle and revived dinosaur at hand.

[@sphilpot05]

Your comment is golden! And you're right; it's interesting when I come across a title that says "build xyz simple jig" then the first thing I see is a full size planer and bandsaw. SMH

[@jacobacon3219]

The kicker is how these “poor man’s” methods are more reminiscent of the original fabrication for these tools. Nowadays, most people can’t conceive of making things without power tools, and it’s going to get even worse with 3D printing and CNC mills, in the future most people won’t have any idea how to make anything with their own hands or perhaps that it’s even possible.

[@stauffap]

It really helps to look at traditional woodworking videos from time when they didn't have powertools. They were much more creative back then (with their tools), because they had to be. You'll also notice that it's not that difficult to work with hand tools if you use the correct tool for the correct job and if you know how to work with the grain of the wood.

[@DERICKBLAIR4]

And I can never find my damn dinosaur

[@Ploutvonozec]

​@@DERICKBLAIR4 So you miss the most important poor man's tool. No spokeshaves for you until then.

[@PoorKidOne]

You say that not needing the fancy machines is part of the poor mans process. If you can achieve the same goal without spending the money on fancy machines than I'd say you're a rich man. Not only do you still have the money you would have spent on machines, you also get the satisfaction of making a great tool with your own hands. Thanks for making these videos so detailed and great. They really are much appreciated.

[@toysoldier46552]

Until you buy the hand planes or the steel stock lol. Both are expensive in my area, even used rusted up junk that needs a lot of tlc is over priced around here.

[@CathieZimmerman]

Anthony E. that's so unfortunate! Where do you live? Here where I am there are people who try to sell junk for a bunch of cash too. I've learned a few tricks in the last year to find the good deals.

[@PoorKidOne]

Anthony E. I agree with that as well. I'm just starting out as a wood worker and I'm broke. But I've found if you get creative you can make things happen. Garage sales, junk shops, antique stores, harbor freight, make your own...

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

absolutely! thats TRUE wealth, not having to depend on businesses selling it to you, but being ready to do your bit for your community by yourself not depending on any thing but your own skill and knowledge.

[@bonnivilleblackcherry9745]

PoorKidOne I bought a Lie Nielsen plane a few yrs ago because every "PRO/MASTER" woodworker on youtube said they were the best. Thats long sold for a purchase of a gun lol. My $10-50 old stanleys from antique stores and yard sales perform just as well or better with after market blades ($35-50 for those). If you don't mind putting in the effort you can buy the steel from somewhere like metal supermarket and make them yourself even cheaper. I have purchased old corrugated stanelys in #3, 4, ,5 . All cost me less than $50 I have a flat sole 7 that I got for $15 at a yard sale and an atkins cabinet scraper for $5. I had a few old marples chisels i bought 20ish yrs ago for $2 a piece but when I needed a "complete" set I bought a set of narex from lee valley. The marples are better but I will admit not by much. The narex will need work if you hate the look of machine marks on your chisels lol. The marples didn't have that. And if you take notice to what paul says about clamps. His are el cheapos. No need to spend a 1/2 yrs worth of car payments on bessy (and the like) clamps. A cheap clamp will put the pressure on your workthat is needed. I hear oh but bessys don't flex. Im thinking if you are putting so much pressure on a clamp that flexing is causing a issue you are putting to much pressure on it. I can squeeze two glued edges together by hand to squeeze out most of the glue. A cheap clamp will do it 10x more than i can by hand. People that spend money on brand name clamps and tools in general are also the suckers that overspend buying an apple phone just to text talk and watch videos but want to say I own an Iphone lol. My phone is a samsung note 3. Got it when they first came out because my note 2 took a swim in the tub lol. Still works fine and its funny when people at work find some funny video on their social media with their Iphones and come running to me because they want to see it on a bigger screen. Then they watch it and a few are saying why doesn't it look so fuzzy like on my phone or a few say how come its not buffering every 10-15 secs (thats your provider) but i say because its not an iphone lol . Anyway when it comes to tools you can buy the tool cheap and upgrade/work on it to make it perform as much as its 2x-3x-4x cost premium tool. Now Lie Nielsen has come up with a marketing scam that scoket chisels are the cats ass. Sure they are if they are for timber framing but not building furniture and chest and boxes. If you are beating on a chisel so hard for small work that you think you need a socket chisel. Nothing you make will turn out well anyway as you need to work on your skills. If you had the patiences you could make a crap load of tools from a trucks leaf spring.

[@stuartosborne6263]

If my wife finds out I could make my own tools I’m done for! Thankyou Paul, another great video.

[@coversareus]

Stuart Osborne If you learn how to put a Lee Nielsen logo on your homemade tools, then you can pocket the approved funds for your big tool budget!

[@BeachBoi1000]

Include the labour cost.

[@lanceroark6386]

Imagine if she sold the ones you bought for what you said you paid for them.

[@MRrwmac]

Paul is right when he says you get more satisfaction out of a tool that you have made yourself and also learn other things from making it. In this video we learned about both the spoke shave AND creating a hardened steel cutting edge for our tools. Thank You Paul.

[@buggsy5]

Overall, a great tutorial, as usual. A few suggestions for hardening/tempering blades in the future. 1) You cannot begin to judge the metal temperature by color when in direct sunlight. Do the heat treating in open shade or indoors. 2) The blower was blowing directly on the metal and cooling it - that is why it took so long to heat. Use a lower airflow and direct it at the charcoal under the blade. For an item that small, you probably would not need to bury it in the charcoal, making it easier to retrieve for quenching. 3) Once the blade reaches the proper temperature, it needs to be put into the oil as fast as possible. That small and thin an item will cool very quickly. Leaning it against the side to grab it is begging for uneven hardening. 4) Clean and polish before tempering. You can then judge the temperature by the color of the oxide layer that forms. For the spokeshave, a dark straw color (about 225 degrees C - 440 degrees F) would probably be ideal. It is the approximate temperature used for planer blades.

[@henkie49]

You're right, Paul was blowing it cold; You're right on all your points!

[@Paul.Sellers]

Thanks for all your help and advice.

[@davidrustylouis6818]

buggsy5 - I was thinking the same as I was watching, esp. regarding the hairdryer blowing the heat away from the steel. Still an excellent video & instruction.

[@bryankirk3567]

"buggsy5" knows exactly what he is doing! Cheers mate!

[@rufuscrackle]

Also don't drop it in oil but holding with a piece of wire put in straight into oil to avoid warping, and move side to side so the surface is agitated with the oil.

[@richbuilds_com]

Your straightforward, no panic, no rush approach is perfect. You're one a very small number of youtube educators that get it right. Your years of experience underpin every aspect of the craft, and it shows. Long may you continue sir!

[@curmudgeon1933]

Richard Allsebrook. If you like this approach, Two other You Tube channels I find with a similar laid-back approach are, Mustie1, for mechanical fun, and Pask Makes, who also does woodworking and other craft skills. Enjoy.

[@JasonBarre]

Paul Sellers video = awesome. Paul Sellers video in 4K = AWESOME.

[@vanessakitty8867]

TY, I just checked and switched the resolution upwards.

[@randolph_s_hoffmanndilem2981]

I just wanted to let you know Paul: I appreciate your videos, the effort, time and experiences that you share moire than you could know! I am an older craftsman and have always been an 'Addict' to learning things my whole life. It is just refreshing to have the ability to get on the internet and answer queries or find ideas/solutions at the click of a mouse. However, without the input from people like you the purposes and benefits to the average person would be minimal at best. You make learning a lot more efficient and practical for me and I am picky about voice, tone and attitude, well you win in all categories so please accept my huge respect and thanks with all sincerity!

[@nblythin]

I'm sure Paul already knows this (and just mis-spoke in the video); but after hardening the blade the next process is to "temper" it, not anneal it. Tempering removes a little bit of the hardness / brittleness. Whereas annealing is to take it back to a fully softened state.

[@axnbjsbdudbydvydubu9355]

the beauty of this channel, everything is done in real time ... thanks master sellers

[@navret1707]

Paul, your guestemating is more accurate than my measurements. Beautiful workmanship. 👏 👍

[@jeremyleemakes1272]

Paul Sellers is such a master woodworker. At 17:23 you can see him command his saw to creep just precisely up to the line he marked. The saw knows who's boss in that shop.

[@369dusty]

You always make it look so easy ! After all these years, you are the ultimate professional. Thank you for all your efforts Paul.

[@josephdolderer6113]

I think the best part about this process is gaining an understanding of the dynamics of how the spokeshave works.

[@2S74]

Wow....I love your videos on poor man's tools. Thank you very much for sharing your skills with us Mr Sellers !!!

[@CemCangir]

1080P and more. Thank you for going the extra mile in quality videography. Craftsmanship is in the details and its no good when you cant see the details, so thanks again. Rather watch this then whats on TV any day!

[@rogerh999]

The hardening part always stops me from this type of work, but I see I can do it in my backyard with my grill! Thanks, awesome diy I’ve come to expect.

[@dondonaldson1684]

The great thing about this spokeshave is that when you make a second one, you can then use each to shape the handles of the other!

[@therealzilch]

As a musical instrument maker, who has made instruments and tools for over fifty years now (including spokeshaves), thank you. It's great that this knowledge is passed on. cheers from rainy Vienna, Scott

[@gjacobson76]

When I worked as an electrician, I would use a coat hanger to drill a small hole to locate where I would come out, before drill a bigger hole. If I was off, it was simple enough to put a little filler in the hole and it was not noticeable. I would just clip the hanger off at an angle, approximately 45 degrees. I learned this trick from an older journeyman electrician. Give it a try.

[@davelester1985]

Watching this helps me understand more about the one I bought that did not work well. This was a really great video. Thank you for taking the time to do it right. Love the longer screw part at the end. Something I would never think of. ( musician here) never worked with wood in school.

[@MarkNiceyard]

Oh wow! Making your tools for making things is a kind of deeper reality than just making things. It feels like being really on top of the process.

[@CathieZimmerman]

Paul, almost a year ago I came across the first video of yours I'd ever found. Your videos and obvious love of your craft inspired me to find some simple tools, a few boards and get working on anything and everything I could. I've made SO many mistakes... and have learned so much. I'm proud to say I recently bought my first heirloom quality dovetail and carcass saw. I can't wait. Thank you, thank you for doing these videos!

[@johnstrader9069]

Can you harden the steel in a propane barbecue?

[@timmynormand4818]

I have been learning so much from watching your channel over the years an just wanted to comment thank you Sir

[@MrRackinroll]

Paul Learning is such a great experience. I have been at this a long time building that is. One of the greatest experience of a lifetime . Thank you for this RC

[@wadepatton2433]

I'm from the metal side of things. Metal works like wood pretty much, but is more predictable and has less grain issues. Steel can be likened to the generic hardwood and the non-ferrous group to pine and other conifers. Good layout and sharp tools mean everything-same as wood. Properly marrying the two is now my passion.

[@jamesmoconnell]

Wade Patton -- since you're coming from the metal side, can you talk about heating the blade to 'cherry red' (It didn't look red in Paul's video), and then about baking it in a 375F oven for 45 minutes? Metal work is new to us wood guys. Thanks!

[@alexku8452]

The camera adjusting to brightness etc may make it look colder or hotter than it looks when you are next to it. If you just do that and let it cool down slowly, it would have annealed the metall, meaning the metal is soft. It would be easy to sharpen, but it would not hold an edge very well. So you get it to cherry like red hot and quench it in water or quenching oil (If knew to this and not equipped for it absolutely go for the water unless you want to set everything on fire!). What you did now, if the procedure was successful, you changed the metalls christall structure and made it harder. You can test this y trying to cut it with a file, if hard, the file should not cut but just skate over the metall. The problem now is, this hardened metall is super brittle and would easily break (it really shatters into pieces), so you put it into an oven for a while and not as high a temperature as before. This is called tempering, it releases internal stresses in the material which have been introduced by quenching it (the outside cools faster than the inside, thus the outside pulls on the inside material.) Now you got a hard material, but with less internal stresses, so it does not break as easy.

[@bonnivilleblackcherry9745]

Metal works like wood? Well as a hobbyist in black smithing and woodworking I think you are full of shit so to speak. When I try to upset wood it splits and spits out chunks of heavy splinters. When I use fire to heat it so I can bend it, it turns to ash lol. And metal is not really more predictable than wood unless you are using it cold. Now if you are talking about cnc you don't have to worry about tear out with metal as its run cold. But when you get into the structure of metal and shaping it in traditional methods you have as many worries about the structure as you do wood. I have made blades from the same steel stock and the first 3 or 4 came out perfect and the next 2 wood be a lesson to be learned and then make 2 that were "predictable" and then get another section that was a nightmare. If i were to take that same stock and just use the removal method as most blade makers do these days I would not have a blade that went to the "garbage". Now where wood and metal is way different is even with just removal to shape you still have to worry about tear out with wood. (unless just using sanding).

[@Eralen00]

James O'Connell - It doesn't look 'cherry red' because he's out in the sunlight and its very bright outside compared to the blade. If he were working indoors you'd definitely be able to see a bright red glow. Furthermore, to oversimplify heat treating steel: Usually, metal blanks come "annealed" which means softened. This allows you to shape and cut the steel more easily so it doesn't destroy your tools. When you harden a piece of steel, you're changing the structure and "locking" the molecules in place when you heat and quench (submerge in oil or water). This makes the steel very hard, and able to be extremely sharp, but also very brittle, meaning that pieces are likely to chip off, or the entire blade may even snap if subjected to enough pressure. Baking it in the oven is called "tempering" which brings back the hardness a bit, and makes it a bit less likely to chip and break.

[@shakes73499]

James O'Connell You need to know what type of metal you have before you can find out how to heatreat it. He never says what he is using. Could be D2, or 01, ASP, probable 01 seeing as though he used Oil to quench it

[@spiderdog762]

How fantastic, the series on making hand tools is a joy to watch!

[@tommymarshall5836]

Thank you Paul your teaching is wonderful I am 81 and learn from your everyday Thank you sir and may God bless you and yours

[@matthewmarting3623]

Thank you for encouraging metalwork among woodworkers. I'm a woodworker turned metalworker and it was very imposing to me before I'd ever put a file to steel. But really its as easy or easier than woodworking, just more labor intensive (with hand tools). Even hardening and tempering the steel is easily within the grasp of anyone with a pair of pliers, bricks, a hair dryer and an oven.

[@geoffb108]

I didn't make a poor man spoke shave but a poor mans draw knife. The steel was cut from an old circular saw blade with an angle grinder . The handles. Just sandwiched on with epoxy. The steel sharpened up well and holds an edge. After a bit of practice it is wonderful tool.

I made a spokeshave a few weeks ago, and couldn't figure out why it was taking so deep of cuts, but this helped me out. Thank you!

[@ADVJason]

Great Video Paul.... I just got my first spokeshave. An old Stanley. It was so dirty and rusty I took it apart and cleaned it up and got it sharp and now it works like new. I totally agree with learning the tool by building or restoring them. In the past I have always been amazed by people using hand tools like planes etc. Because I didn't understand how they work. When I got my first and started messing with it to get it working I learned how it works as much as how to set it up. Now I need to make one of these.

[@johnbrand2283]

I've owned and used an old, patinated combo square like that for years. I had no idea that little knob was a scribe! I thought it was some micro-adjuster for the glass level or something, didn't want to touch it and screw anything up. After watching this, I dug it out of the toolbox, pulled on the knob, and sure enough there is a little sharp pokey thing in there!

[@sufsanin1917]

For holding those fiddly bits flat on the stone, I took the magnet out of an old car loudspeaker and recessed it in a bit of wood. Stick the workpiece on the magnet and off you go. Also works fine for plane blades, much easier on the fingers.

[@bobbg9041]

to see scribed lines in metal working they use a blueing to scribe a line in but if you don't have any you can used a black or blue magic marker then scrib your line in that then it will show up better so you can see where to drill or cut.

[@CheveeDodd]

I think I will make one of these with an old jointer blade. Great idea!

[@Desi-qw9fc]

Hi Paul! If you want to harden steel in a barbecue in the future, I've found that plain old barbecue briquettes are a really effective fuel. You can pile them up around your steel and blow hard on them, and they've got enough mass and staying power that they won't just burn away like your charcoal did. The only catch is that briquettes and steel produce a lot of clinker, so don't put your steel on the base of the barbecue.

[@28gwdavies]

Fantastic!... It's so good to still be able to see a master of his craft. You inspire me with every video, I will now at some point be making a spoke shave, and maybe even making a replacement iron for an old No 4 plane which is currently out of commission due to a very badly pitted iron that has a 'sawtooth' blade edge due to very bad pitting. Thank you very much for your entertaining and inspiring videos.
