This spokeshave (Fig. 150) is made in various forms; the one illustrated is of box-wood, and the simplest made; but this form is not recommended, many better kinds being made entirely of iron, with screws to regulate the cutting-iron. An iron spokeshave is shown by Fig. 151. The beech-wood spokeshave shown by Fig. 152 has a metal plate in front of the blade, and that shown by Fig. 153 is regulatable by means or the thumbscrews. In principle, the spokeshave is merely a knife or chisel edge in a suitable two-handled holder. In use it may jump if the iron is loose; if the back part of iron touches before the cutting edge; if there is insufficient clearance for the shavings in the mouth; if the cutting edge of the iron is worn to an obtuse angle and requires grinding; or if the face of shave is either too flat or too round; or the defects may simply be due to want of skill. With some kinds of ash it is very difficult to get a level surface with a spokeshave, and a compass plane should be used.
