Spokeshave
• The spokeshave is used for shaping and smoothing curved work (spindles, chair legs, handles, handrails).
• It can be push or pulled but works best pushed (a little more difficult to master).

Block Plane
• The block plane is designed to trim end grain.
• It is small enough to use with one hand (you can use two).
• Easier to control than a larger bench plane, the block plane can also be used for smoothing, chamfering, even convex curved work.
• Also known as low angle planes and bevel up planes (the plane iron is set bevel up, at a low angle).
