Melbourne Tool Company Flat & Round Sole Spokeshave Set

As a full-time woodworker and content creator, I’ve used just about every spokeshave on the market — from high-end boutique tools to budget models. This set from [brand name] stands out immediately. The machining is precise, the soles are perfectly flat out of the box, and the brass adjusters move with that smooth, dialed-in feel you expect from premium hand tools. The handles have an excellent balance and ergonomic contour that let you finesse fine shavings even on tough end grain. Blade steel holds an edge exceptionally well — I went through multiple projects before needing to touch it up on a strop. The control and feedback through the cut make these a joy to use, whether shaping chair legs or refining curved panels. For the price point, these spokeshaves punch far above their weight. If you’re serious about traditional woodworking or shaping clean lines on your builds, I highly recommend them. I’d be proud to showcase these in my shop and on my YouTube channel — they’re tools that make you want to keep creating

Use both to help shape a walnut chair. They worked wonderfully. Heavy enough to fit comfortably in your hand, but not too heavy to wear you out. Great design!
