Is the table being built here in the video the same as the one in the plans?
Spoke shave should be worked from either end towards the center, shouldn't it? Seems dragging the thing across the entire arch on the apron would risk blowing out one end. Curious what nuance was in play that Mike thought working from both ends wasn't necessary.
I thought the same thing as EC731. I always go down grain to avoid tear out, as well as blowing out the end.
