Miniature Trim Spokeshaves |
A Garrett Wade exclusive
The Spokeshave is a staple of hand work in woodworking - shaping edges (straight, convex or concave) smoothing curved surfaces and doing all kinds of trim work.
We have had this special set of 3 unique smaller-sized tools made of Solid Brass exclusively to our specifications. One Shave has a flat sole (for flat & convex areas), another has a fully convex sole (for concave surfaces), and the third is shaped in-between for all other possibilities. The blades are special grade N2 steel and the blade lock is a steel knurled knob (not a wing nut). These are used "two handed" with your thumb behind each wing handle. Their small size (the 3-1/2" wide base is 1-1/8" x 5/8") ensures that they will be able to work on and shape the smallest of areas. These are really handy.

| With a little fine tuning, I've found that there's no chatter - the blade doesn't come as sharp as when you sharpen it yourself, and you have to make sure you adjust the space between the brass and blade correctly.
I think these planes are great for any kind of detailed planing and shaping. I use them for taking laminated curves of wood and rounding them for arms of loveseats or chairs. I also use these tools for making sculptures out of laminated wood forms. I find their price unmatched , and their quality of materials excellent compared to any other small plane I've used. I'm glad that Garret Wade has these available! |

| I was dissapointed with the performance of these spokeshaves. The throat clearnace is much too wide for these small tools. I could not properly adjust the tool to prevent chattering. |
