Nice video Zed, the one issue I have had is getting the blade sharpened due to the curved blades. A short video with sharpening techniques for this style blade would be nice.

Hi Rob thats a very good point, i'll add it to my list of topics to cover and will endeavour to get a video covering the sharpening of it ~Peace~

Good man Steven, files do make good blade's, very underrated metal, but it's all in the heat treat, I've made all my knives from old file's and two mocataugans. Nice one Zed and atvb. Paul.

Question. Are these types of tools mainly for hard woods. I ask only because, some types of wood work cross grain. Great video. And this tool is new to me….

H Danny, in general these types of tools are for working on green / freshly cut wood ~Peace~

Hi Zed. Great and inspiring insight into this special tool! Have you ever considered making a complete video on carving a long bow or native American flatbow? Maybe utilising a mocotaugan.(As far as I can see in your video collection, you haven't done one yet? 😊)

@Zedoutdoors 3 жыл бұрын

Indeed yes I do have plans to film a tutorial on making that, alas these lockdowns in the UK have prevented me from being able to go out and film ~Peace~

@viggoblochmller6145 3 жыл бұрын

@@Zedoutdoors Okay! Well, I'll keep my crossed for the lockdown restrictions will get less strict in the nearby future. I myself is a novice bowyer from Denmark. Recently I have begun carving spoons and such. Thoose skills has taken my bowmaking to a new level. And your videos has been a great help and inspiration. I would really like to find new ways to carve a bow in more free manner without a shavehorse and the likes of it. Looking forward to new carving videos on your channel! ~Peace~

Zed Outdoors if you need a blind man definitely be interested long as you can keep up with the jokes. Do use a shape force when you use them knives?. And that should’ve said shave horse. Sorry use Siri to dictate my messages and doesn’t always pick up what I say
