There is nothing smoother than a Japanese wooden Spokeshave for fine tweaking a profile leaving a perfect finish. I love my hand tools as much as my power tools and my machinery gives me the backbone to get wood into the starting shape to begin work. I would love to sell my 24" Leigh Dovetail jig with a vast assortment of carbide cutters since the instruction book put me to sleep and I went back to my handsaws and chisels.
