boeray 2pcs Adjustable SpokeShave with Flat Base, 6pcs Metal Blade and 1pcs Portable Woodworking Planes Wood Working Hand Tool Perfect for Wood Craft, Craver, Working

I want to start off by saying that you will need to sharpen and hone all blades before use (unless used for very, very rough work), sand the bottoms of each piece flat and clear of the black coating, and file the mouths evenly. I also smoothed out the handles, where the coating had formed small bumps. Took me an hour or two to set up all 3 pieces, but this is to be expected with any plane or chisel. That said, the blades came very sharp and appear to be decent enough hardened steel. It is really nice they include the extra blades, too. If you're a beginner, don't forget to oil/lubricate every part after the initial setup. The spokeshaves work as expected, although I found the smaller one to work much smoother than the bulkier one surprisingly. I use them for making bows, handles, and paddles. They're nothing fancy, but they do the job. The block plane is cute and practical, but the design has a couple issues (still, it is well worth the price). The mouth opens straight vertically, which makes shavings sometimes bunch up. Luckily, the wood chisels cleanly with guide gouges, so it's easy to open it up 20-30 degrees. Second, the pin/wedge don't hold in very tightly, even when I got every surface sanded flush. I usually have to tap the front on my bench every 6 or so full width strokes to project the blade again. I had better results when I made and used a sugar maple wedge cut into a V, but it still slipped over time. Filed the pin down flat on the side that touched the wedge, and it held enough to take full shavings without retracting the blade. It would have worked well enough for basic chamfering or shooting without these changes, but I liked the way it looked too much to let it sit, and the cast iron body planes are not fun to use in the winter. Would definitely recommend these for beginners or frugal hobbyists!

Decent quality for a beginner. They feel a bit flimsy compared to others I've used and I struggled to adjust them properly but after adjusting they were fine. I was using them on soft wood and they did just fine. The little travel plane is cute but not particularly useful - the blade wouldn't stay in place no matter how I wedged it and I would get 1-2 short passes (the project was only a foot long) before it loosened and moved. Overall, would recommend this set as a tester to see if it's worth spending a lot more on a higher quality version, just keep in mind if you're using it often you'll need to replace it with a better tool sooner rather than later. You get what you pay for and for the price this is a pretty good deal

I was not expecting Lee Nielsen quality here and neither should you, but the blades came sharp, it worked and the little included block plane is shockingly easy to use and works well. I just used it to knock the corners off of some table legs and am incredibly happy with it. Check out Rex Kruger on YouTube for how to adjust these block based planes. Shockingly good for the price. Totally adequate, if not amazingly well finished.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The first set that I ordered arrived broken. My replacement arrived 2 days later. The block plane is decent quality for what it is. The blade on the block plane comes with hard varnish on the edge, and it is very annoying to get off. Once the varnish is removed, it takes an edge very easily and stays sharp for a good while. The spoke shaves are of good quality. The frame is cast and the parts are of good weight. The blades for the spoke shaves come decently sharp, but not quite sharp enough for my liking. It is not a big deal though because it only takes a few minutes on the stone and strop and they are hair splitting sharp. They take and hold an edge well. Overall I give this 3 stars, mainly because of the touching up on the blades that I feel is required before use. The first set that arrived broken is likely not from the manufacturer, so I don't hold that against them.

The cutting iron is good steel. I probably tuned them somewhat-I don't remember. It's best to verify the back is flat and the edge is straight and sharp , of course. Check the lever cap where it sits on the blade for straight. The adjusting hardware is good quality, the shiny Brass screws actually hold and adjust. Once I dialed them in I got tremendous shavings with them. The bonus wooen plane is nice, too. The steel takes a fine strong edge. It was a very good price for three nice , productive planes and it came with extra blades! Crazy! The logo says Boeray Quality Tools and I will not contradict. Thank you Boeray I love spokeshaving and your tools make it fun.

a little fiddly and needs sharpening frequently. All tools get the job done. Extra blades is a plus. Block plane is really handy. spoke shaves are nice to have around the shop.

Like any plane, first you must set them up. The blades are nicely sharpened. Overall, nice set. Good price. I would purchase again.

This spoke shave set is a great value! Comes with two shaves, multiple blades, and even a small plane. The adjustable feature is handy for different jobs. They're not the highest quality, but they work well for smaller projects and sharpening skills. Definitely recommend for the price.

came with extra blades and well packaged better than expected

These tools filled a needed item in hubby's workshop and he's happy to have them and quite satisfied with the quality of the spokeshaves. The little wooden planer isn't the best quality, but it's something he can work with and improve on. You can't beat the price either....and the quality is much better than what is expected for the low cost.

Well, wasn’t thinking straight on this purchase since I don’t own any spokes, don’t have a use for any spokes nor do I see any spokes coming into my life in the near future. I’m sure this thing would shave them down nicely- seems well built and feels almost as nice in hand as my one eyed trouser snake….almost.

They require a lot of work before they're useable: the irons are not great quality so I'll probably be swapping those out sooner than later. The little block-plane is mostly just ornamental. Fine for the price
