Spoke Shaves

Another, very badly needed cleanup. Now they function perfectly. There is nothing better than a sharp tool. These needed a lot of work but once they were honed they worked like a charm.

[@toolscouter]

I like that one best as well. Thanks for coming by and have a great weekend.

Dusty n Rusty I like it. Spoke shaves are a fun little tool to work with. Yours cleaned up really nice.

Both cleaned up nicely. I really like how you set up your strop and othe Accessories to mount into your vice. Very nice

[@toolscouter]

I was very happy with the way they turned out. Thank you so much for coming by for a visit. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@toolscouter]

I also like the little one best. It just seems to have a little more character. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend.

Nice video.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you, have a great weekend.

[@geraldschrader8511]

Wow both of those work great!

[@toolscouter]

I was very happy with them. Today I just picked up a dual draw knife. It has a rounded draw knife blade and a straight draw knife blade all on the same tool. I’m sure we’ll do a video on that sometime in the future. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend.

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Both work and look great

[@toolscouter]

Thank you Larry. Always appreciate your visit and hope you have a good weekend.

Good to see this video. have a rough Stanley spoke shave I need to clean up and sharpen. If you have an opportunity in the future would you make some comments about important points when looking for a vintage draw knife? I want to look but want to be aware of the cautions. Thanks for your contribution to the tool world.

[@toolscouter]

I’m glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck on cleaning up the one that you have. They are worth the effort. As for a drill knife, I would look for name brands. Anything made in Germany, Sweden, USA, England, Italy, possibly Japan and even Austria. I am definitely no expert, but this is what I would look for. Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend.

Nice restoration. What are you using as a diamond plate lube?

[@toolscouter]

It is lapping fluid. Checkout this video: Redressing an Old Sharpening Stone kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYXHaWR5pNJ9rLs thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great weekend.

[@nickprague1481]

@@toolscouter Thank you.

[@airford13]

curious, is there a tool out there that you would really like to find? like your holy grail? let me know and well see if we can find one.

[@toolscouter]

Wow, that is a tremendous offer. I like to collect Norlund axes, but they’re awfully expensive. I am looking for timber slicks that are 2 inch, 1 1/2 inch, and 1 inch. I have a 3 inch and I think possibly a 3 1/2 inch. I am awfully careful, because some people want a lot of money for them. I’m always looking for them to be between $15 and $30 and something that I can clean up. If they’re already in good condition and at a retail price, they can be steep. I would someday love to get a timber framers mortising drill. The kind that sits on the timber and has two hand cranks on either side that you turn with your hands like a bicycle. The ones I’ve come across though have been really expensive. More than anything, I appreciate your visit and thank you for the interest you have taken. Hope you have a really great weekend.

What is the lubricant that you use on your diamond plate?
