Thank you Peter for putting out these informative videos and share with us how you would sharpen them. Those edges are so sharp! Can't wait to see what you got coming next.
Really helpful video. I routinely use all of these tools, but I definitely learned a great deal from your video. Thank you for taking the time to make it.
thank yo so much for sharing this discussion on chairmaking tools, peter! i was not sure how to take care of sharpening some of these more sophisticated tools...
When I looked more carefully at the old drawknives I bought, I thought I must be the only unfortunate sucker to have drawknives with the backs so badly beaten by the kind of person who reaches for the next biggest hammer to compensate for skill (or the lack of it). I was lost as to where to begin to get the drawknives in some kind of working order. Peter Galbert to the rescue with education and inspiration, thank you. I'd also like to add that your essays on your Substack subscription feed are exceptionally informative - on the finer points of working with wood, teaching, and on living as a decent person. Thank you again Peter.
Dear Peter, I hope you will keep this video in your channel because it could be a deep night in the other countries where you have subscribers. Like me for instance) Please, keep this video.
I bought a Narex curved draw knife. I’m assuming based on this video it’s a bevel up knife. The back is definitely not flat but has a shallow convex angle at the tip of the blade. Is this correct? I would assume Narex knows what they are doing. I certainly do not Lol. I just want to make sure this is right before I tackle honing. Plus the bevel is pretty steep so I guess I’m going to have to take it to the grinder? Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
I saw this in the original series. Great to see it's available for everyone to benefit from your experience. For those not having access to good vintage tools, I have recently bought the TwoCherries and Stubai drawknives and from what I can tell, they are both decently made, but require some minor sharpening or heavy honing out of the box. I like the Stubai one better and put together a little video on some more details comparing and using them: ua-cam.com/video/mvYBlRiyOEE/v-deo.html (other channel) I have the Pfeil one (also curved) coming in soon and plan to do a review of that one as well. It's about twice the price of the Stubai and TwoCherries, but looks very similar to the vintage Fuchs/Cannstatt (and other brand) ones here in EU/Germany.

Thanks for sharing! I'm starting to study about chairs and I watched it... incredible!

I'd do the minimum at first and work with the tool for a while before changing too much

Ok, ok. This showed up. I guess the universe is telling me to build a chair.
