Spokeshave for tight curves?

[Mike Brady]

Regarding a sharpening jig for these, its pretty easy to make one from wood that will clamp into an eclipse jig. A scrap of 1/2" thick wood and two oval-head phlliips screws. There's a thread about that around here too.

See this thread for explanation:https://sawmillcreek.org/showthread....How-to-sharpen

Refer to my original post. I had a nice Millers Falls cigar shave but it was all but impossible to sharpen. I sold it.

I had the same need and tried making my own, though with limited success on my first try.

I'm not sure it would go all the way down to 1" radius. Maybe if the it is just a half circle to clear the top of the blade.
I have always wanted to come back to it and make a smaller version. Maybe something similar scaled down would work for you.
The blade sticking out the top is a limitation, but sure makes it easier to sharpen.

This!!

Solves your problem, is a beautiful tool (boys jewellery) AND the blade is easy to sharpen.

You can not get better than a tool from Terry Gordon
