lunchie Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Pretty much what the title says, I can find old ones on the Bay and the like but I was wondering if there is anyone out there still making them. I have no problem with buying an antique one if blades are still available... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Yep. Lie Nielsen have one. http://www.lie-nielsen.com/spokeshaves/no.-81-razor-shave/ The Boggs spokeshave might be a lot easier to maintain though because sharpening such a shallow blade is a nightmare. http://www.lie-nielsen.com/spokeshaves/boggs-spokeshaves/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchie Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks for the links! I am really liking the No. 81 Razor shave. Maybe Santie Clauz can bring me one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Feed your experience back in. Don't know anybody that uses these so it would be enlightening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunchie Posted November 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Will do! I am sure a spindle sander would be much quicker and easier. However, the work I have done so far, the most enjoyable parts have been with non powered hand tools: Planes, chisels, spokeshave etc. So, why not just keep on doing it the old fashioned way!?
