You just gotta love a spokeshave with that kind of history! Excellent, my friend!
I think you need to lay off the caffeine Richey. What brand spokeshave is That?
Nicely done Richey! The labor of love ;-)
Richey - great video! I'm more like Uncle John - breaking the edges more so than going full round on the neck. Gotta admit, that the edge breaking varies from gitty to gitty, depending on how much rasping I feel like doing! Well done - and thanks for playing it at double speed, so I feel even more like a slacker! ;-)
Good one, Richie.
I don't try to get quite as nicely round as you do, but lately I have set aside the router and used a four in hand rasp -the less course round side- and end up with fairly quick and smooth necks.
Thanks guys. I realised that I spend a lot of time explain how to do these things, but showing is usually better. Jim - believe it or not I have shaped 8 necks with that spokeshave since the last time I sharpened it. It was made by my great great grandfather, they must have had very good quality steel back then!
Always good to see someone put something like this up.
Wow u work fast lol love that music!!! Your skills r stellar Richie~K! Meowwwww^..^
