Making a pair of Drawknives from a Coil spring

The continuation of making new tools after moving across the Atlantic and settling in a new workshop in Canada resumes, and there will be more to come. I really enjoyed making these and I'm very pleased with how they turned out. Some people (I could Imagine) probably don't like how dirty the wooden handles already were by the time I was done with making them. However as I'm in a blacksmiths shop, it is almost impossible not to have them get dirty at some point, so I can't be bothered with having to wash my hands in a bucket of cold water every time I want to use them.
Thanks for watching!

I love how it looks old, and not like it was just made, personally I love that "dirty" Look, makes your tools feel more like tools instead of show art

I kind of prefer to wear them into the used and dirty look. they get that naturally if ya enjoy using them enough.

I've never made a draw knife, although I did get some good insight into the process, at least for me more real time than sped up would have been great in the actual blade forging. I would of loved to have heard your thoughts on the process as well. Like is the fuller necessary or can it be done without it? Please I'm not bashing at all, just making some suggestions you might think about in your next video. Thanks for putting the video out!!

@MakeNCreate 3 жыл бұрын

I'm actually thinking about changing the format on my videos for this exact reason. Might try it at one point. The fuller is not necessary, it's just a certain style of drawknife I chose to make. Very simple ones can be made that are just a sharpened piece of steel with a pair of curved handles on them. You're welcome and Thank you!

Why not make the handles on the lathe? I love turning so I might be biased in that direction, but IMO it is so much easier to get a nice shape on the lathe.

@JohnSmith-gs4lw 3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the off-topic, but I’ve always wondered why draw knives had handles that were designed so you pull in the exact direction that tries to disassemble the handle. What did they do in the days before epoxy? I’m sure it would be harder to forge, but some kind of T-handle where you are pulling perpendicular to the handle instead of longitudinal would seem to make more sense. I know. I’m insane. Just seems so strange.

@dreadnought8363 3 жыл бұрын

Nah man you're not insane, there are draw knives that have the handles attached in line with the blade. As for what they did back in the day: either pin the blades in or make the tangs long enough to peen them over after putting it all the way through the handle. And don't forget: they did have glues back then, so maybe even glued in tangs were a thing, with some pitch or resin for example

The metal rings are normally used to hold the sleeves. In your case, it's just decoration. It's a shame.

@MakeNCreate Жыл бұрын

Wrong. They are there to make sure the wood doesn't split when the tang is driven into the handle. Not decoration.
