Just got my Great Great Grandfather's Drawknife, and I'm so excited to use it. My Grandma said that it could easily be 150 yrs plus old. Thanks for the video,I've learned a lot so far from this.😊

Is that a bevel up or bevel down draw knife?

I'd like to know where you got that big round blade for your grinder and what grit it is ? Thanks

Hi I really enjoyed this video. I am in the process of building one at the moment. Where was this filmed? Can you tell me the history of this Doodlebug? Thank you.

Hey what is the length size of your drawknife blade, only blad size in length and in width. Actually I need 10" thick blade, in straight line no concave shape. For making cricket 🏏 bat.

what about drawknife you are using. i need that. how much for that.

I hope I'm doing this at that age!

Where did you get that knife? I can’t find one anywhere that’s a good size, heavy, and solid. The ones I’m finding are more so for hobbyists. Any advice?

Where can I get a good logging drawknife like the one in your video. The commercial ones these days aren’t very good

Nice

All those men knew there whole life was hard work. God bless them greatest generation bar none

This is a good draw knife....nice deep cutting blade eg 2 inches so can get maximum contact with wood surface for maximum stability, correct meaning it simulates a wood plane, correct ? A low bevel angle of 16 degrees works best for removing bark ? What is the maker’s name ? Is it readily available ? What about the curved swedish draw knife which has handles almost parallel to the blade ?

And you dont pull sideways on the knife as you pull. Obviously you haven't done this that much

Your really slow bro. Chainsaw the k ots flush before you start. I hit 300ft a day drawing

4:36 lol

That was helpful. Thanks.

Wow!

What a sweet doodlebug! Those old timers aren't afraid of hard work either!

that log is already pealed?

These guys are awesome, nice truck too

what grit did you use to get the knots out? if you could please. . . i am making a wing chun dummy from scratch and ive peeled the log with a draw knife. . . you have the best tutorial . . . please advise!! p.s thanks for the comment on the gut!! lol

Hi, nice drawknife, never seen one with a blade that deep or thick before. Did you say it is made by Bar(r) - is this it: barrtools.com/product/draw-knife-large/ ? BTW I make edge guards for my edge tools, for drawknives leather (3layers including the gusset/welt that goes against the edge) or wood (by cutting a slim mortice as long as the cutting edge). Best to put some ventilation in and oil the tools before putting them away (see: rag in a can oiler video by Paul Sellers ;) ). That way your grandchildren can perhaps inherit a fine working tool :D

its not often i login just to like a video. if you upload consistently and keep it genuine like this youll get a ton of views.

I just bought my first draw knife an am so exited to get into it. This video was very helpful so thank you

Original badass

great video bro. Very good tips! was wondering what kind of overalls you got. thanks

Do you have any footage of building your cabin?

Great stuff man!

I see them every summer on "Miño" river on Galicia (spain) every summer, respect those pilots, they risk their lives to save ours.

That was a great video !!! Most info I've seen in youtube drawknife vids. Grats.

Tomorrow morning the peeling starts. I'm making a tenonizer log TV stand with logs I just cut this evening. Putting it together green and all.

Great shot. We had seen them at the airport but never in action, collecting the water from the surface of Lake Cascade, Idaho. Thanks for capturing this event.

Having a prop plane pass over you at low level is always exciting.

Nice vid. I'm shopping for a drawknife right now and was curious> Would a smaller drawknife be easier to handle on smaller logs or would it matter? (logs i got are bout half the diameter of those in this video, and smaller)

That looks like a quality draw knife. Did you happen to forge it yourself? I can't seem to find a new or vintage one with a blade like that. I'm guessing the blade is 3-4" wide and 12" long. The weight of it seems to help you pull through the bark. Nicely done!
