You have a really relaxed manner and I found it very interesting and satisfying to watch you demonstrate how to use the tool properly - that little coil shave was neat
WOW!!- that shaving @2:30, just like a kid in a chocolate shop, seeing the liquid chocolate or toffee being poured, bet all traditional woodworkers are drooling over this :-)
I'm about to purchase my first spokeshave and you've inspired me to look at old Stanley's. Are any of those with curved bottoms, either by design or modified? Also, very impressive shaving. Single or micro v Bevel, and at what angle? Thanks for this video Garrett.
I just bought what i think is a Stanley No.51 from a flea market today. The paint is a little work but aside from that it seems to be in fair condition. Not sure if it is a Stanley though because it doesn't say Stanley anywhere on it. It's all steel and mostly painted black (bare steel where it is not). It is raised stamped in depressed boxes on either side of the exit hole for the adjustment screw No and 51. On the underside of one handle it is depression stamped as "MADE IN U.S.A." The handles are raised and arched. Each has a hole in the center of the grip and each handle has a waffled face. Think it's a Stanley?
I found an reference glossary that someone put together: peterrobinson.galootcentral.com/spokeshaves/#Stanley-51-shave Appears to be my exact one. With one difference. The cutting iron has no stamp on it. I am thinking maybe for this model they were all stamped on that piece. And that mine simple doesn't have the original blade.
Are cheap spokeshaves possible to get to work right? I have a cheap one and for 8 years havnt been able to get it to work. Even with a razor sharp blade, it just digs into the wood and skips across it.
ELPaso1990TX a sharp blade makes all the difference. I get the board length curly shavings from my Stanley#52, just like he does. still can't believe that thing only cost me $6
Rosie 47, A question for you, do you have an international reputation that causes people to fly you around the world (first class) just to hear you speak. If the answer is no, you should stick to shooting aerosol cans with your air rifle, you have obviously had almost no experience using a spokeshave.

I will be using my new spoke shave for the first time. Loved the video. Thank you for sharing.
That is truly impressive.
Very relaxed style, nice to watch

Fella's a master. Nice video.
nice, will certainly be adding one of these to my shelf soon.
They can be severely rewarding and most utterly frustrating.

Stanleys generally say it somewhere. Hard to know.

I have a 53 with the adjustable nose ???
I can't seem to get those long wood shavings, is it possible my blade is blunt?

Did he say "I like the connection I feel with my wood"??
Nah, sorry, he says work
Im doing something seriously wrong cause my spokshave cuts look like a woodpecker went at it fo 5 minutes.
Not helpful or informative, just put the tool to the wood and magic it works! Nothing about depth of blade or how to get the dam thing to work.
Actually he explained the depth of cut.
