Step 5Shaping the Spokes
If you are happy with the spoke length take one spoke and mark it for filing to shape the hand grip.
Here I used my combination square. Well, the ruler part anyway. Hindsight says make a template of the profile you want. When you have set those guidelines in pencil, place the "proto spoke" in a vice and start filing. I used a new rasp file capable of removing metal as it will work really well on pine.Dont forget to keep the rasp clean. Good idea to wear gloves too as rasps are good at removing skin.
