Early Access Video: Import Tool Madness #5
Added 2018-10-11 18:00:00 +0000 UTCFriends:
My big lathe project is on hold for a few days while I attend the Hershey Antique Car Show and Flea Market in Hershey, PA.
Am I a car guy? Not really, but this show is the largest automotive flea market in the world. You know what a lot of car guys have sitting in their garages and barns?
Wood working tools. Lots of them.
And most of these guys couldn't tell a spokeshave from an infill plane. So they bring "grandpa's old tools" and sell them for peanuts. I will probably buy about 70% of my tools and supplies for the entire year at this one event. It's a lot of fun.
Stay tuned for live Instagram updates and at least one video covering the plunder I haul home from the show.
Anyway, while I'm out of town, I give you Import Tool Madness #5, wherein I cover the worst spokeshave this world has ever seen. Is it a good tool? No. Should you buy it? No. Should you watch the video anyway? Yup.
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Not sure, the blade acts as the sole of the plane I feel that is not helpfully though.

2018-10-13 20:17:23 +0000 UTCI don't get the point of a LA spokeshave. What is the benefit supposed to be? I don't think I even knew they made one.

2018-10-13 04:43:42 +0000 UTCI did something worse I spent a lot of money on a veritas low angle spoke shave. It was really hard to sharpen and every time I use it the blade shoots out the back and tries to cut off an appendage.
