You could bevel it to an angle, use it as a guide on the spokeshave blank, and the angle would be exactly the same.<br /><br />I would have used a t-wrench if I had one. Same with a drill press.Brian Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04252174035715635674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5591297260116621731.post-28499417371973547272017-05-04T19:36:45.522+02:002017-05-04T19:36:45.522+02:00Funny, we both went almost the same route (even as...Funny, we both went almost the same route (even as far as doing the rough shaping with a bowsaw). However, I did use a drill press to drill out the brass. I had strongly considered using epoxy because I didn't like the look of the screws on the brass (and I still don't). The mini dovetails I thought were a complete waste of time and didn't even bother trying to accomplish it. Sawing them on the blank would have been easy enough, but shaping that brass plate to match would have been a little more challenging.<br /><br />Also, I used a T-wrench to tap the threads rather than a hand-drill, and the results were just fine. <br /><br />Overall it was a fun project and one of these days I'll make another.<br /><br />BTW..Great Work!<br />confusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.com
