Paul Seelers. Shiniest fingertips in the EU. :-) thank you for sharing.

I have fought with my spoke shave for 2 years. I think now I have the basics to a fine edge! Thank you. Mark

I really enjoy your videos! Good lighting and camera angles, no nonsense, calm atmosphere and great information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Really enjoyed.Great video, thanks.

I have never seen that process for sharpening. So simple yet very effective! Thanks very much for sharing!

Mind altering stuff here. Thank you for enlightening me Paul.

Extremely useful videos, my two old wooden spokeshaves are in for a treat, and so am I. Thank you Paul. Andalucian Spoon Carver.

Fantastic tip, I picked up an old spokeshave from Portobello Market a few years ago and have recently struggled with sharpening, can't wait to get it up and working well! Thanks Paul

Just found this having inherited a wooden spokeshave that has never been used or maintained properly, genius level advice for all blades, off to find a board !! THANKS

Paul Sellers is the Bob Ross of woodworking.

Thanks for sharing Paul. This seems to be a great idea, and I can see using it for many things! It's so simple too!

great Information . Thanks Paul

Great video Mr. Sellers. Thank you

Brilliant as usual Mr. Sellers. Thank for the tutorial.

Gee I enjoy your vids so much Paul, always learning from you, Thanks for all of your efforts!

Thankyou! As an educational and practical library to turn to, you are fantastic.

Very smart as always! You know every trick in the book and share it! Thanks.

Thank you sir! I always learn something when I watch your videos.

I love you, Paul Sellers.

Thanks Paul great tips.

A great and simply method, many thanks for share. Saludos!!

Very good method to sharpen difficult to hold edges.

Excellent video thanks

Great video, I'd really like to see some of those blades in action after maintenance.

Thanks....good tip......Nice to see you so full of vim.

I love watching your videos on sharpening! Could you do a video on sharpening the scraper plane? I never seem to be able to get a perfect edge and I know it's one of your favorite tools. Thanks

Heh, until now i was using the drill press and a angled block to bring the blade under an abrasive disk. This is much, much easier as i don't have to fear the disk catching the blade harder and flinging it across the shop.

That's great! Thanks

Awesome.

Hi Paul. I have a round bottom wooden spokeshave just like the one you show in this video. The beech handle is quite old- to the point that the tangs do not firmly stay in place during use, and the blade ends up in a different position (depth) after trying to use it. Is it time to find a new handle for it, or do you have any tips to avoid the slipping tangs? Thank you. Tricia

Paul, if the wood in the vice is not level with the top of the bench, might it not make one side of the blades bevel not contact the hone the same as the other side?

great video :) can we use this method for sharpening router plane iron as well?

Brilliant

Спасибо за советы, живи долго дед Паша.

Hello, I just purchased the same vintage spokeshave and discovered that one of the tangs are cracked off! is there a way of repairing and or welding it back onto the blade? ... please let me know. Thank you, dee

A perfectly simple method and one I shall be using on my wooden Spoke Shave (only have the one for now) but I was wondering how would I go about flattening the blade? Mine seems to rise up at the edges but not enough to make it into an internal rounding tool, it's almost that the middle has been bent outwards possibly by the person before me trying to pry the blade out. when I use your method I get both ends clean and sharp but the middle isn't touched at all, should I just gently tap the blade with a hammer until it lays flat on the workbench?

That's a great technique works great on my straight blades what about the curved one's.

Great video. Do you know where you can get replacement blades for the old wooden spoke shaves? Scott

What are the grits on the paper?

Paul can we do a draw knife like this?

Great video.What did you call those little files?Thanks,Marty

I have never heard of charging with chromium oxide, what is the benefit of this process?

So how about those curved blades?

You just made "sharpening Day" about 3 hrs. shorter.

A great and simply method, many thanks for share. Saludos!!
