- Tiny Drawknife Makes Some Big Shavings
I'm always playing with drawknife designs and edge geometry. This one seems to have nailed it. In other news we will be launching a storefront on the website hopefully by November. As my skills grow in this trade so will the inventory. At first it will be mostly drawknives, axes and skinning knives that are made from scrap tool steel. Waste not want not.

nice job Jim, I like your plans, about time!
Getting there buddy
👍👍👌👌
Jim you need to go check out JSK-koubou on how to build a router lathe to copy templates jig on his UA-cam channel , he has all kinds of jigs for precision cutting and drilling , you might be interested in watching some of his videos, it is very interesting to watch
You'll like the axe handle duplicator I'll be makinh once I get all the parts scrounged. I'll check that channel out.
Awesome
It has to be satisfying knowing that your tools are in good hands.
That small one Jim is excellent . Well done and your quality is really good. Take care,be safe Graham🇬🇧🇬🇧
Quality is getting there.
Love the little fella. Now I'd like to see some slicks made - these days, slicks are in short supply... Long ones with plenty of flat to smooth the joints. Good sized handles. Then there's the pig stickers --- You know those chisels they make heavy mortises with. Maybe you should just go back to timber framing...🤣🤣🤣
I love my timber framing and I'll do more with it but with the cost of materials (concrete, roofing, etc.) it has become cost prohibitive at the moment. Making tools is something I like just as much and I can afford to do it.
That little jewel could be very useful.
I'm hoping so
Jim, I continue to be grateful for the work you put into your channel showing us your skills.. You continue to be a big inspiration for me to push myself farther. Thank you👍👍👍
Well thank you. I'm just learning like everybody else. It's a pleasure sharing it.
Hey Jim! Nice work as usual, can't wait to see the store opening up soon. Will probably pick up a draw knife if available.
Hey buddy. I'll set one aside for you.
Jim, looks to me your skills are improving with every knife you make! I think it’s a good idea to buy the steel your selling that way you know it’s quality, keep the videos coming! Great job! Have a good one my friend!
I agree with you on the metal. The stock I generally use is a known steel but it takes a lot of time to make it the size I need.
Very nice work Jim. I like the little draw knifes.💚💜🤠👏
I like them too, fun to make as well.
Would calipers help to get those handles identical when you turn them? I don't know much about wood turning.
They do. I use one and it helps.
Jim, too bad you don’t have a lathe copier. You could set the lathe up to copy while you worked on something else. Good job, have a great week.
Stay tuned buddy
To keep the Holes for the handles straight. Make a jig that will hold the handle straight up and down. I'm thinking a thick block of wood with a hole in the middle big enough to put the handle in it to where it doesn't wonder and stays up and down. Clamp that to the drill press. Should make it accurate each time an easy.
Those were my thoughts as well.
You are looking very content with where you are Jim good to see hope you and the tribe are well have a great week 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
I am very content with the current situation. Feels like I'm finally on my way to where I want to go.
Just curious. What happened to the old shop? Did it turn into storage?
The old shop is now the boy's shop. He tinkers in there but is slowly encroaching into the barn.
that looks great Jim both handles and blades see you on next one
Thank you Howard
Forget about the mini drawknife handles, want to hear about the Hickory self-bow leaning up against the wall.
Ah, you like bows...me too. That one is a yellow birch one I have to finish. I have a few hickory bows kicking around. I like to make my own hunting bows.
@@TheTradesmanChannel Copy that.
This is getting to be down right Spooky!
I am talking of the wood turning ..... another of my interests!
Now I know you are an anti-safety sally but, Could you put your rest a little closer to the wood? All it takes is one good catch and it is like holding onto a spark lead as the engine is turned. Suddenly your arm is not where you remember it being and it feels like God himself had punched you (don't ask me how I know).
The other bit I would suggest you try ..... now don't swear at me, hear me out .... is Carbide!
I used to turn with the same gear you are using until I watched a guy called "Cap Eddie Castelain" do some videos on carbides (well worth a watch). So feeling a tad gullible I tried one. OMG! You Have to try it. The wood simply vanishes off the spindle, no messing about. You can even get reasonable finishes with them, but if you are not satisfied just run a scraper over it to get a glass finish!
One other tip to get dead centre holes for the reins is to drill it from your tailstock in the lathe.
Glad to see you still having fun though! ;o)
You darn safety Sally you. Your advice is always good Dave.
@@TheTradesmanChannel You say "safety Sally", I say " I like all my bits both working and attached"! ;o)
Your small drawknife looks very good Jim. I'm sure that your father in law will put it to good use. Hearing you mention my name in your video gave me a great feeling, thank you for that. My wife was impressed with the fact that someone I follow on U Tube would mention me. Thanks again Jim. Have a great week.!! Dan.
You've been a regular for a long time, we're practically family at this point.
@@TheTradesmanChannel Thanks Jim, that makes me feel very good knowing that. My wife and I feel the same.!! Dan.
Hey Jim. Just found your channel. The draw knives are really nice. I am wondering if you are going to experiment with the handles. Most draw knives have round handles. I am wondering if an ovoid handle for instant indexing might work. Like knives and axes. You almost don't have to see the handle to set up in the neutral position for starting your cuts. You just feel it. Maybe a bit easier to make small angle adjustments as you make a cut. Better control? Just a suggestion. I just use the tools. I do not make them.
Good morning. I actually have made oval handles and to be honest they weren't as easy to use as the round ones. The shape of the knife actually lends itself to natural indexing as you start the cut. Pleasure to meet you sir.
@@TheTradesmanChannel Thanks Jim. The fact that you tried it and they don't work just proves that the eons these have been made, round handles still work the best.
Hey is that a cordless Milwaukee dremmel tool you are using there? What do you think of that tool?
It is and I love it.
@@TheTradesmanChannel I may have to pick one of those up. I have a chorded dremmel tool I bought for porting saws but a chordless one would definitely come in handy.
As beautiful and durable as walnut is it's hell on the lungs. Especially when sanding.
Oh yes, I've gotten much better about wearing mu respirator.
@@TheTradesmanChannel one thing I thought about that would explain a lot to us amateurs, the different kinds of steel how to identify and what the best type is to use for different applications. Now there is a few months worth of material for you! Lol
I have some Osage orange if you would like to make handles out of it. Beautiful stuff! I also would love to buy a draw knife off of you.
Hey buddy. I have some here too but I might be interested in buying some off of you in the future. Be worth a road trip.
@@TheTradesmanChannel I had them cut into smaller block and they were like 3x3s. It’s what’s leftover from my pegs
