I'm finally back into the shop after too many years! My first project has some curved profiles...the ends of a cradle for my first grandson! Although my workshop is hybrid, I try to utilize hand tools whenever my skill and time allow. I used my powered turning saw to get close to the layout line but I need to clean that up. I purchased the Boggs shaves from LN many years ago, before I knew much, and have never used them! I also have these old woodies that I picked up at some auction in one lot or another. I suspect they are better suited to the end grain part of the curve since they are low angle. How do I get the blade out? is there a jig for sharpening or this a freehand job? Woulds rasps and files be better for this application? The guys I used to watch on TV would have used a spindle sander, but I don't have one!
