Thank you so much man! I was a bit nervous to put this one out there. You got an awesome channel by the way! If you have any tips for a new UA-camr I’m all ears!
Thanks for the history, I have the same spokeshave. It is in good shape but I would like to restore it and clean it up. Can you give me a few pointers or tips on how you restored yours?
Mine was in pretty bad shape. If you want to see what I did I have a 3 part restoration series on this exact plane. I’ve completely refinished planes and just refurbished them the most important thing is to just have fun with it and take your time. If you want it to retain all of its historical relevance don’t repaint it. If you want to make it look new and aren’t worried about its resale value then that’s ok too and let me know and I can tell you what I do when I repaint it.
@@matthewvick4930 great to hear. I think it’ll work well on rounded things like spindles and legs, where the blade doesn’t have to shave off a full 1-2” width at the same time. I’ll give it a tuneup this month and report back! Your videos are great. Cheers.
Matthew that restoration is phenomenal. That is a fine tool and you have given it new life. Outstanding. God Bless.
Thank you so much! This has been my favorite thing to do on this channel so far so I can’t wait for the next one!
Very cool! Beautiful restoration and thanks for the history lesson!

WOW! Do you have any idea of the value of this fine tool?
Thank you! I’m not real sure but I saw one recently on eBay for $185 and one on another site for $125
@@matthewvick4930 It's a real treasure.
Have you used it lately? I’m wondering if it’s a good starting point for a spokeshave or if the thin sole creates chatter.
It definitely is a cool conversation piece but it definitely has chatter
@@matthewvick4930 haha. Okay. I just snagged one on eBay, will see if I can sharpen it up and get it going.
@@cliffordduhh45 it’s definitely useable though just needs some tuning
