very very good
Good to know
Many low angle spokeshave blades are easily sharpened by using a blade holder made to secure short blades so they can be sharpened using conventional plane blade sharpening methods. These blade holders are simplify blade sharpening for standard angle spokeshave blaves. Veritas (Lee Valley) sells a such a blade holder for securing short and small blades using conventional blade sharpening methods including for use with some blade sharpening jigs. So there is no need for even a beginner to shy away from a low angle spokeshave.
The Veritas/Lee Valey spokeshave with the wooden handles you showed also use special shims to adjust the spokeshave mouth opening. These shims are included with the spokeshave.
Excellent video as always,

Can you point me in what direction to look for?
Hello. I have one that I inherited from my grandpa, but I almost never use it, and I don’t have a good sense of how to choose based on the variety of designs that are out there. Unfortunately I’m probably not the best person to give you advice on this.
Thanks
