Speaking of the small LN bronze spokeshave, does anyone know how the LV small Preston reproduction compares? My son bought me the LV version, and no amount of fettling seams to yield decent results. Can't get it to not chatter. I have a miller's falls cigar shave that I was able to rehab and it works great! I would have thought it would have been the most difficult shave to sharpen and adjust. I can also vouch for the Veritas full size shaves as excellent and easy to set up. I tried the low angle LV and never got the hang of it. That was when I was just diving into the hand tool rabbit hole and did not have a clue at proper sharpening. It might be different now. However, I still cannot get the small LV shave to work well (could be operator error )
No, the sky is not falling - just chunks of it are.
