Reconditioning a Spokeshave - Stanley
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 авг 2017
- Knife maker Walter Sorrells takes a detour into woodworking tools to spiff up a rusty old spokeshave. The spokeshave is a tool closely related to the plane which is used for shaping rounded objects like chair spindles, wagon wheel spokes, etc. Simple, quick project!

I appreciate the straightforward and useful presentation. Thanks.
the original paint used on the spokeshave or handplane was called Japanning, it's basically a 2 part Enamel paint, you have to use Japanning drier to get it to cure, it is still easy to get at some hardware stores.
Thanks Walter for your videos
They make me feel happy when I'm not so
Moe Chan Can relate
Moe Chan Me too, I had a shitty day at work today. It was nice to come home to a cool video.
It's nice when a new Walter Sorrels video comes out. There's always more room for denim shirts in my life!
One of my grandson/granddaughter projects is making new handles for my bow making files and rasps. This was inspired by you. A hint : find old poolsticks; occasionally they are made of exotic wood , but the plain maple works great. As always, thanks for your hardwork. David Maddox
Very, very well done....Thank You
Very NICE job. Glad to see someone do this project. I've done this many times with Stanley/Bailey planes. I love to see old tools brought back to life.
It's very cool to have restor an old tools!
Big upfrom France!
Excellent video! I love seeing old tools restored. In the age of disposable stuff, it's nice to see well made tools with potential worklife being brought back from the dead. Well done, Sir!
And Cerakote? OK, that is just badass cool.
Beautiful restoration. Thank you for sharing another great and entertaining video!
I have reconditioned several spoke shaves, which is a pretty straightforward task, but your addition of the Cerakote is an important touch. It is good looking, it is durable, and it has what looks like a good feel, as well. (I usually replace the original blades with Hock blades, but I do not think this is a requirement -- I have just had some pretty beat-up spoke shave blades.)
Cerakote might be a good coating for reconditioned hand planes, too, but I don't know if the larger cast iron bodies would warp in the heating and curing process.
Once again, nicely done!
Thank you.
Nice beater restoration.
I do the same with locks and harmonicas (and once in a while, antique revolvers). Big fun for a bench sized project.

these old tools are just cool!
Came for the spokeshave, stayed for the knife making. Subscribed!
Nice project, Walter. I really like the discussion of tools.
I am in the middle of a block plane restoration for a friends birthday (OK, maybe his NEXT birthday) and used a metal shaper to flatten the sole and make the vertical edges of the body perpendicular to the sole and flat.
Shapers are fun tools, and IMHO, very useful in knifemaking. They're really good at making things flat and/or tapered with next to zero effort from the user. Even a pretty small shaper is big enough.
Thanks for the vid. I have one of these that I forgot about but I bought it new and its in nice shape. I will put it back to work.
Great vid. Finished product looks great. The old fashioned finish you referred to is known as Japaning. It's an asphaltic lacquer. The spoke shave also works great to flatten rough boards in the initial stages. Have fun with it.
Awesome. It's true that stripping those good 'ol used tools should help me understand how to use them properly. Thanks' Walter!
What a beautiful tool.
You got a great sense of humor!
Lovely job, I do like a good spokeshave.
I think you might be the first to Cerakote a spoke shave. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing Walter's way. Great vid.
Looks good
That original metal coating was japanning (a baked-on imitation lacquer, usually black).
Vintage tools with the original japanning are worth much more (because it’s usually gone from really old tools).
Nice job Walter! I use electrolysis to remove rust, it works great, doesn't harm the metal in any way and making a small electrolysis tank is pretty easy. Try it sometime.
"I'm just doing it because I feel like it" This is the same reason I gave this video a thumbs up. But this sentence certainly swayed my decision a little..
That looks like it's worth $100 at least! Nice video, really enjoyed watching.
Muchas Gracias, I've enjoyed watching your videos often and all ways wondered what you could do with wood working tools. Could you PLEASE consider fabricating a plane iron for a kana also known as a Japanese hand plane
Nice job. I am a new knife maker from a woodworking background. Nice how they overlap.
JBratt interesting comment, I'm sort of coming at it from the other way… Learning to make knives and in the process learning that wouldworking and can be a lot of fun. No doubt there's a lot of overlap.
FargoFX I found metal is a lot harder on sand paper 😄
JBratt lol! I don't know, might have to run a RUclips series testing them side-by-side to be sure! 😂
FargoFX a video that would go viral for sure 😜
JBratt Wood Workers need several types of sharp cutting thingies
Knife Makers need good wooden handles for they pointy sharp thingies
It's the chicken or the egg cliche
So We need to know some of both
I don't have any mahogany to tape a blade to, will ebony work?
You can get a quick mirror finish, tape paper to your surface plate table saw. Apply rouge to it lightly and rub back and forth for a while. Soon you will be mirror polished.i dont use any lub when sanding cast iron on 220. Use a tooth brush to rub the surface and vac off often, if you get paint build up use a steel brush rub and vac and continue!. You would not use a loaded file, you stop an clean it!
Get more miles out of your sand paper by backing the paper with strips of 3m shipping clear tape. Lessons learned from reconditioning some hand planes I aquired!
I was going to do this too but I just checked my shed and there's no sandblaster in there 🤔 we must have bought different sheds.
Thanks Walter. Very informative. However, not a word for how to put the blade..., bevel up or down...???
Cool, been think of Cerakoting my next knife project. Good to see the process in detail. Do you recommend it for blades?
Two main issues when using it for blades -- and this is true for most coatings, First, you have to get the handle-to-blade fit perfect before assembly. Second, if you use epoxy on the handle, it's a bear getting it off the Cerakote when it squeezes out from under the scales. That said, it's pretty durable and looks nice. I've got a whole video on the subject of firearms finishes.
yay
Hey Walter do you have a favorite knife you've made?
Woooo first comment. Been wondering when you would upload this video. Love your work!
That bit at the end was horrific! Were they able to re-attatch your thumb?
My adjustment knob is missing. Seems to work fine without one????
I've heard people say that you shouldn't use wd40 on sandpaper because it clogs the pours and instead you should use a proper lubricating oil - you found any problem with using it or are they just being snobbish?
I've used all kinds of things, from straight water to Windex to all kinds of oils and lubricants. Honestly, I can't tell much difference. They're all better than using nothing. But all sandpaper wears out...and it always wears out faster than you wish it would. In my view, loading is actually not the problem most of the time (assuming you use some kind of lubricant). The abrasives just break down and stop cutting. One of the fun facts about knife making is that most knife makers spend more money on abrasives than they do on steel.
Can u talk about the same sort of tools but for metal in a future video plz ?
great video bud.
A slight exaggeration on the cost of a good lathe tho. 😉
Walter can i just say the only problem with pulling it is that if your not careful a chunk can come out of the wood your using
Out of interest why? Surely it wouldn't make a difference since its just dependent on the direction of the grain?
actually most woodworkers pull a spokeshave towards them selves as the tool is intended to be used, you actually have more control pulling it them pushing it. it works in the same way as a draw knife just on a smaller size and and with a little more control.
Krazy Gamers Guild why go one direction or the other a lot depends on grain direction of the wood You want the grain going down hill to direction of cut because if grain is going uphill to direction You could split out a chunk of wood sometimes too much of a chunk to the final shape wanted
Ewwwww shiny, oh my precious lol. Great videos.
Excuse me Walter but you don't need a expensive lathe I got mine around 200$ and works great and I have got a Chuck and more tools over time I have been doing turning for almost 4 years now and it's nice to make my own bowls cups and various other items as well as the reaction family and friends have when I make stuff for them

Great money saver for the young, broke and cheap ass. I am no longer young, but I fit the bill on the other two no problem. Time used in refurbishing has a way lower cost than new tools.

This guy’s a dude.
you fake channells crack me up
