BTW, there's a story on that spokeshave. I tried to find out how old it
was. Best I could do was pre-1910. So when antiques road show came to
town I took it in. The expert said it was from the 1800s (I forget the
exact year), was the best condition he'd ever seen, and could well have
been part of the first production run of that model. I thanked him for
the info and said I would be using the spokeshave. He looked at me and
said "Don't you dare!" - I think of that each time I even look at the
spokeshave :-).
