The spokeshave is a wonderful tool and when you master it, it will become one of your favourites I am sure.
The spokeshave blade is one that I sharpen freehand. I like to turn it perpendicular to my other blades when I sharpen it as it is easier to hold it this way, i.e. with the bevel parallel to the long edge of the waterstone.
Have you seen the Lie Nielsen video on youtube about spokeshave sharpening?
