How to Make a Poor Man's Spokeshave | Paul Sellers

Wooden spokeshaves are very functional for all manner of shaping and refining of surfaces. Paul shows how to make a basic wooden spokeshave with minimal fuss using basic tools and materials. He covers making and hardening the blade, basic shaping of the body and recessing the blade for a refined cut.

You will need:
O1 Steel: 4” x ¾” x ⅛” or 102 x 19 x 3 mm
Wood: 11” x 1 ½” x ¾” or 280 x 38 x 19 mm
2 Screws: 6 x 5/8" or 3.5 x 16mm

For a more refined body with adjustment screws see the series on Woodworking Masterclasses http://woodfromhome.com/wp-video/how-to-make-a-poor-mans-spokeshave--paul-sellers
