Oh, what evil and uncertain times we live in when even the humble spokeshave can turn agaist

It's a wise spokeshave that knows its own master

And where's the photos?

The again, I didn't take any 18 months ago when I smashed the tip off my little finger. They rebuilt it.

I presume that the said recalcitrant tool was a cheap oriental copy and not one of the superior US or UK , or Aussie ones. Anne says she doesn't like the kitchen knives to be too sharp so if she cuts herself it wont be too bad???????.

I hope it was the type of vicious attack that can be treated with a single plaster and completely healed within a few days. Sorry to hear that your hitch-hiking has been curtailed for a bit.

(Work that one out. Or if you're a Yank, go figure.) They're non-stainless, and this of course is one of the reasons they're so good. They take an edge like a cut-throat razor. They were presented many years ago to a female neighbour of mine by her father, in the fond belief that he was making her a wonderful gift -- as indeed he was.

She was throwing them away "because they went rusty," :rolleyes: when I intercepted them.

And my wife's view of them was exactly the same -- she didn't want them anywhere in the kitchen at all.

John Buchan put it this way, Jeff --

Women are queer cattle, and you and I don't know their ways.

I have a long standing tradition of smashing my left thumb with a 20 ounce framing hammer every spring just to kick off the season. But a spoke shave?!? That's a little over the top, don't you think? What's it gonna be next, the electric planer? My grandfather ran his hand through a table saw and lost three fingers. Perhaps you should get some counseling before you end up like old gramps :D
ps - hope its not too serious, sounds painful.jimd

Not real serious folks, just plane stupid...
still, just as well I don't own very many power tools.
