Vintage Stanley spoke shave restoration. Cheap car boot find...

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Used this type of spokeshave for 57 years -- very reliable ----newer Stanley 151--spokeshaves have adjustable blades --last longer!

[@FALCON390Workshop]

Wow, 57 years is a long time. All the best.

Love this mate, absolutely stunning 🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍

[@FALCON390Workshop]

Thank you. I'm glad you like it 👍

[@CarlWinter-oy8uf]

Those 2 adjustable screw bolts ---in the new Stanley 151 -make a huge difference in adjusting the blade !

[@FALCON390Workshop]

They do. Thanks

Haven’t seen a spoke shave in years

[@FALCON390Workshop]

I think people don't use them that often anymore

[@buttonmonkey6845]

It’s funny I haven’t used one in forever but put a new handle on a spade the other day and it was perfect for shaping that. Thought the spokeshave could with a bit of TLC, and here I am😁

nice find. i whish there were carboots like that around here. first thing on old rusty metal: penetrating oil like wd40 and let it sit for a while. don’t destroy screw heads or risk breaking things. stanley also used to “japan” things. it’s not painted. it’s basically burnt in asphalt. so paint remover should be pointless. look up “japaning” - there are recipes how to do it.

Thank you. I do appreciate your feedback. Cheers
