Acoustic Guitar Construction

I've been away from forums and my shop for a few weeks, and a question I thought i posed, I can't locate, so at the risk of causing eyerolls and groans, here it goes again:

I think I want to use a spokeshave, both to learn to use one, and help shape a neck. I've seen replies in other places singing the praises for very costly tools. Can inexpensive spokeshaves be used to good effect and if so, can someone please suggest one?

Suggestions?

Thanks, folks.

I bought a solid, inexpensive spoke shave BUT replaced the blade with a Hock blade. Works great.

Can you expend on that?

Do you take the relief out of the FB or the top?

Is the hump you refer to the hump of the sides as viewed from the face of the guitar or hump of the top as viewed from the side of the guitar?

Thanks.

I think I should have used the word fall-away. After the fretboard is glued on and after I assure the fretboard flat, I take a little bit off of the fret board extension so that the fret board is closer to flat when the neck is under string tension.
