Good morning from USA! Just finished by first spokeshave restoration and its also a Stanley #51 from the 1800's. I have a Stanely #80 from around 1918 that need attention too but I'm still learning and practicing on the technique of using them. Thanks for the video!
After cleaning a spokeshave or hand plane up is there anything special you might do afterwards such as a coat of paste wax or oil? I’ve noticed the refurbished tools in your collection have a really nice patina. Thanks for making these videos!
@@darrenmacmartin9392 Hi Darren, Yes I do give things a coat of wax then burnish with a dry cloth it gives things a nice glow. I did mean to say that on my video. Cheers,
I’ve come home from work at 1am, and at least have something enjoyable to watch with my supper!
@@troon5488 Cheers buddy

@@MattsGarage1791 Hello from snowy Scotland, spokeshaves are great little tools to use.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
