Clifton spokeshaves are made from virtually unbreakable spheroidal graphite (ductile) iron. The surfaces are finished and polished for maximum comfort in the hand, and the weight and balance let the spokeshave sit firmly on the wood so that only a stroking action is needed to make it cut. The firm seating and fine adjustment let you make delicate adjustments to the depth of cut. Available with a concave (550) or convex (500) sole; spare cutters are also available.
The concave spokeshave may be used instead of a drawknife to chamfer square timber, but is more often used by furniture makers to shape curves such as cabriole legs, or to blend machined curved surfaces such as posts and stair rails.
Facts:
Length 10"
Weight 15 oz
Sole curve 2 1/2" diameter
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.
