These spokeshaves are beauties, and they will quickly become favorites as they are so easy to use. All three have been designed for smooth, effective, chatter-free shaping of chair spindles, panel edges, paddles and tool handles, or other shaping.
The 1/8" thick blade, machined lever cap, and blade bed achieve chatter-free cutting in virtually all conditions. The ductile cast iron body is fitted with bubinga handles, shaped for comfort and control. The toe serves as a thumb rest, allowing the user to choke up on the body to attain exceptional control for fine work. Twin adjustment wheels quickly and accurately control cut depth and skew, and shims let you adjust the mouth opening as needed.
The concave spokeshave, with a 45° bed angle, a sole radius of 15/16", and a 1-1/2" wide blade, is popular with chair and paddle makers; it is the first choice for a wide range of jobs from small spindles to large oars. The Veritas flat and round spokeshaves have a 2 1/8" wide blade and suit most kinds of woodworking.
Each spokeshave weighs about 12 oz and is 10-1/2" long overall. Patented. Made in Canada.
For those who like to customise their tools, a kit is available for making custom handles for any of the three Veritas spokeshaves. The kit includes brass washers, hanger bolts, a mandrel for lathe mounting and assembly (although handles can also be carved or shaped with other freehand techniques), and detailed instructions.
Which plane to start with depends on what you will do, but for most people a smoothing plane (No. 4) or a jack plane (No. 5) is a good first choice. The smoothing plane gives smooth surfaces, and the jack plane is a versatile plane for both rough work and truing edges.
A block plane is a good addition for end grain and chamfers. The guide explains how the hand plane is built and which types exist.
Planes of cast iron and steel rust easily, especially in unheated workshops and from moisture on your hands. Wipe the plane after use and protect bare surfaces with a thin layer of wax or oil that will not mark the wood.
Store your planes dry, ideally in a plane sock or box. If rust has already formed, the guide shows how to clean and protect them.
