Southpa Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 You can find a spokeshave, rasps, block planes etc. at any hardware store. If they don't have any of those items then order a cheeseburger and have a seat. You're in the wrong place. kidding! If the store has a few spokeshave varieties check them out and see how well they adjust for blade depth and stability. I've found that one is just as good as the next one. If you never used one before then practice on a 2X4 for a little while until you get used to the weight, balance and adjusting blade for best results.

daveq Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 I have two cheap spokeshaves and absolutely hate them both. I'm going to try a mid-priced spokeshave soon and hopefully move forward. I think WoodCraft sells all sorts of them. Give them a try, but my experience with the cheap ones hasn't been good.

Snork Posted November 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 BAH CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME A LINK TO SOMEONE WHO SELLS CHEAP GOOD SPOKESHAVES PALEEZ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Heres one: http://www.ncworkshops.com/service.html Why don't you just hit the "search" button in your browser and type in "spokeshave". Or go take a walk down to your local hardware store and ask about one. They aren't some kind of specialty tool, you can find them basically anywhere tools are sold. BTW, "cheap" and "good" don't really compliment each other very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveq Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 thanx whats the adress? OK, I assumed that you would have tried www.woodcraft.com. If not, try www.woodcraft.com - there's a "Department" listing on the left side that says "Planes & Spokeshaves". They have all sorts of them. Expensive and cheap.
