Daniel Lea (AKA 99pppo) Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hey Fellows! Me finishing and testing the first draw knife I forged yet. It is handforged from C60 (AKA 1060) tool steel, water hardened and gradually tempered from the spine. Yet it services me well :-).http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=qVj32un5BG0 Yours - Daniel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Rider Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well done. I like the short handles. Most come with a long handle that is mostly in the way. Are you going to make a shaving horse? In German I think it is called a "dummkopf" bench. It is amazing how fast and accurate you can be with a drawknife and shaving horse.

I´d love to either have a shaving horse, or a workbench suitable for work with bench pins, but I absolutelly lack of space for that! I am glad to have such a well equippen blacksmith´s shop in my garden and that little workshop in our basement. As soon as I have a larger workshop eg. in a barn or so I will also built up a carpentry corner where a shaving horse and/or a propper carpentry workbench will definatelly be put in!

Robert Yates Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well Done good to see you pined the handles with the fitting and hammering the ends try heating it first add the handle while it is still cherry red hot and then peen it . this will stop the handle from being burnt .
