I have a shave, I don't think you should call it a spoke shave since they aren't concave. Anyway this shave is convex so it makes a concave shape in the wood.
Are you with me so far? Need Pictures? :icon_scra
My problem is the shave body and the blade don't match exactly or even closely. The body has a tighter arch than the blade by several thousands or maybe tens of thousands.
I was thinking a jig to sharpen the blade would be helpful then I thought if I had that I could shape the body better. Kinda like flattening the sole on a plane.
So, does anybody have one? (whadda ya mean the shave or the jig?)
:rotflm:
I was thinking maybe if I took a heavy plastic plumbing pipe and cut it down the center it would make a sharpening jig. But since it is rather soft plastic maybe it would bend so I may need to glue it to a board that is cut roughly to the outside shape of the pipe.
Any ideas, comments, am I wasting my time, is this something you have tried and did it work or not?
If I go ahead with it I will make pictures.
