In this video I'm making a simple drawknife for woodworking from an old planer blade, with lathe turned handles.
Wow. This is awesome. I have been wanting a small straight handle draw knife to peel park from vine wrapped branches for canes and walking sticks. This really gives me a great idea.
So relaxing and peaceful to see these projects come together. Despite wishing I had a shop again, it eases my mind and puts me in a good place.
10:16 The satisfaction is unreal...
Yes indeed
Wow! True craftsmanship, you hardly see people like this anymore who take pride in what they produce.
the "simple" is the equalvalent to "I did some mining off camera"

It has been a long time since I've seen a good job like the one you just did! Thank you for sharing.
To this day after all the restorations and making of these knives. This is hands down my favorite and best looking on CZcams and in real imo.
Watch his spoon knife video - made from a spanner!
@@suecollins3246 Will do Thanks!!
It's so cool that you can create any tool the way you want it
Thank you for sharing this! Great work. Inspired me to make my own as I've been looking to pick up a draw knife for some time now.
I'm having so much fun watching your back catalogue. Straight in and no messing about with asmr rubbish. Lovely.
Fantastic! That wood for the handle came out much nicer than expected! 👍🏻

Yeah, that is his special talent peeking through..
That was an outstanding build...looks as good as anything to be store bought, and far better than most...
Thanks Ed
I just happen to have a couple of old planer blades! Nice job by the way.
Simple is an understatement. That's a work of art in itself. Bought a couple antique ones for leathercraft. Those blades were curved and worn down. But they had a 90° bend and the handles were vertical and a board goes across the top.
I KNOW you did NOT just skip parts I wanted to see. put it allll in there brother
Did you just use the tool your making to make itself?
No he used just the blade with out the handles so there for he used just the tangs(not sure if thats how they are spelled) of the blade. Hes awesome.
@@alucardblackwood625 Yes, using the pieces to make the tool is crafty.
I also do it
That's what I said.
You made that look way too easy! Awesome vid, nice build!👍

@@shawnmartin9612 I that really what you got out of my statement. ❓
I tend to critique more than compliment, but I must say, a very well put-to-gather video, and a true showing of a Master Craftsman. A labor to be proud of.
Sweet! I have to steal that design for my file handles, thanks for the great vid.
I love that this channel is simple and effective, it shows a way I could do it with very few power tools
Except for the lathe of course, but I could find a way

Good Grief!! That video was music for the Soul! Really enjoyed it. Thank you.
wow... looks great. Thanks for showing
You are proper skilled. There's a lots of videos like yours but you are head and shoulders above everything I've seen. Fair play!
Ok just found my new favorite workshop channel.
Great craftsmanship.
New sub.
The old convention for fixing handles to items such as files, was to heat the tangs & then hammer the handles on. That way the metal burnt it's way into the handles & made the joining stronger.
Just love the shape of your handles you make from local wood. Nice build and re-purposing! Thanks for sharing these terrific projects. ~PJ

Awesome! Very Beautiful work ! I Sure would Love to have one of your Drawknives!
I like your spindle re-centering method. I've never tried that. Very enjoyable video.
It was inspired by people using metal lathes, they have a "bump" roller centering tool, that has a bearing on the end.
Me too.

Beautifully made and some really useful and interesting techniques I hadn’t thought about.
Thank you for taking the time to produce and upload the video.
Wow! That is really simple and easy. Especially for us that do not have machine to make that handle
You could use a drill: czcams.com/video/1-vfPDHVxQc/video.htmlm44s or you could make an octagonal handle using a hand plane: imgur.com/gallery/5GxSv, or you could just keep making excuses :)

You can buy file handles like that pre made. Not pretty or well shaped like those.
These are so relaxing to watch for some reason lol.

You are very good, loved watching you turn those handles !
This Is One Of Your Greatest Videos Awesome Work As Always
Thank you very much Alonzo, you are too kind as always!

You should start putting your signature/stamp on these pieces along with the year! Very nice!👌
Wow...
I'm gonna buy all those tools so I can make a drawknife for free!
You need a drawknife to make it
Fantastic work. The handles are stunning in their simplicity.
awesome now i can extract the canticle bark from ancestor glade
This just made my day.
Thank you for the inspiration!!

Now that is good craftsmanship, making an entire object from the ground up with custom machined pieces.
Your lines are so damn satisfying
Edit: When he was drawing :)
I liked
mesmerized by your videos! i came to this tool because i saw it used in an earlier video. love seeing you use what you make/restore!!
Would work better with a curved shape, like original tool shape which evolved from a very long practice. Cheers
I do agree
When you started the belt sander with your hand, it was very dangerous. Good job!
Veery nice!👍

I like it. Have been looking for a cheap one for a while. Will try and make my own now. Thanks for the inspiration.
I have really been enjoying the latest episodes you seem to be changing to bigger builds i guess that's the way to not get bored is to change it up ,thank you for sharing your work with us,all the best to you and yours,by the way are you still in the same shop or did you move or change your space
I'm still in the same broom closet :) I tried making a shop tour, but it's too tight to get any decent shots, I'd need some really wide lenses to get some decent footage. As for changes, I changed the surface of my workbench to a gray one, since it looks better on video. Also added a ton of lights. The lathe is a new addition, other than that it's pretty much the same.
The Small Workshop : You should try using a GoPro camera, you can get some great footage in small areas.👍
Dicey R true, and a compound lense would work well.

That’s fine craftsmanship. Good attention to detail. 👍🏻
Why do you use windex as a wet sanding fluid? Just wondering
I saw some knifemakers use it, it's supposed to keep metal shavings in suspension better than water. Soapy water works well, but windex is more convenient to use and fairly cheap, especially since I steal it from my wife :D
Thanks, I appreciate the useful advice
It also seems to put a better finish on the material

So satisfying to watch...and I don't even do woodworking or own power tools.
Eine sehr schöne Arbeit *****
Nicely done. I just retired some planer blades. Now I know what to do with one of them.
I have a question where do you get all of the old knife blades?
It's actually the leftover piece from my chisel knife. And I got it from the flea market, it's an old planer blade. You could ask local woodworkers or on facebook groups, they tend to throw them away after they are sharpened too many times.
The Small Workshop Greatly appreciated.
Also check rural flea markets you can get some great finds
Old knives... lol jk 😂😂
Could I use an old mill bastard file for the blade? Just wondering.
Man, that’s hands down gorgeous!

Mate believe me I have seen how complicated a drawknife build can get so this is actually a pretty simple one
I dont get it
Love watching these!! Super satisfying to see such amazing work!
"Simple" :((

If you are interested in the tools used in this video: www.thesmallworkshop.com/my-tools/
The Small Workshop half of this was just a lathe. It was still cool but I think that the blade is more important. Good video though. Thanks!
Just watched this and the restoration of the cleaver, I think I am starting to want to do this kind of stuff, make things out of wood and steel,
I like the work but MAN so much waste of wood........
Good one, that was firewood. The shavings ended up in my compost pile, to be used in the garden.
hehe. I am a supporter of solar / wind power so sorry but I do not consider 10% final product productivity as a great success. Good thing you are using the rest for compost but a tree need a lot of time to grow. People who live in areas where forests are long time gone will understand what I say here. Anyway your work is very nice but I can't stop thinking at the waste of 90%. But this is just me...
I really don't understand your way of thinking. Basically the wood I've used is a branch from the cleaning of plum trees in an orchard. The tree did not die for me to get this wood, on the contrary that cleaning probably improved it's health and prolonged it's life. It was destined to be firewood. It was in a pile of firewood. So that 90% you call waste would've been burned anyway.
Also the average house in a village in my country burns around one truckload of wood every winter. So 90% of this small piece of wood I've used here means nothing at all.
Don't get me wrong, I love trees and I probably planted more in my life than most self proclaimed saviors of the planet. I've even thought of buying cheap land in my native village, where people have cut the forest to plant wheat but the new generation left for the city and abandoned it, and plant trees back. I might do that in my old age if I retire there.
Oh, and don't get me started on the solar panel thing, go visit a plant that makes solar panels and see how green that energy is.
PS: if you're trolling me, you did a great job!
LOL. I do not troll. I did not knew all the details about the origin of this piece of wood. I just don't appreciate how from a chunk of wood like that you made just two small handles. No need to be upset when people express their opinions. This is why you have a comment section on your YT channel. I am not an extremist ecologist. I just stated that for some people, like me, wasting so much wood for so little product is not good. I had to leave my small town to move in a big concrete town and I hate it so much. Every time I see woodworking is like I feel the call of the land...and if I see cut trees I am not happy. I do not talk here about saving planet or whatever. Just about productivity over a natural asset that is less and less available in many parts of the world. No need to explain so much. You burn many trucks of wood to get warm. Maybe in a life time you cut down a small forest. Some people cut old trees and other people (most of people actually) cut everything to the ground. Everybody have their own needs and opinions. I do not judge you. I only stated my opinion appreciating your skills but not appreciating what you spent to make those handles. Why such a big deal?
I wasn't making a big deal out of it, it's hard to express feelings in writing since you don't see the tone in which I've written those things. Especially since english is not my native language. So it's okay for you to have an opinion and for me not to agree to it.
As for my long answer it was just to put more perspective to this situation. Woodturning in particular creates a lot of waste of wood since you start from the raw log. And I've seen a lot of comments like yours on this channel or on other woodturning channels.
Greetings Alec. I have been watching what you make from early on. I just wondered where your enthusiasm for casting stuff has gone
I threw out an old planer blade not too long ago, makes me wish I hung onto it now. Awesome job.
i lov the smart way you edited video . and the knife too , ofcourse
A beautiful job. It follows the lines of the Mora splitting knife.
Beautiful finished product.
I did a knife once whithout powertools the same method. I only used Files and hacksaws, it took me around 2 weeks to make a halfway decent blade, even if the edge was to dull. Never underastemate such projects.
Also, mixing active charcoal whith shelllack makes a great black woodlack, I used it for the cheet, almost looks like polymer and feels like it too.
This is a good video. I like it and I like the project. But, it could be so much better if you would just tell us ( voice or text ) what you are doing and why. Don't be shy. Share your thoughts with us. You are clearly a skilled craftsman and there is so much we could learn from you.
Nice idea, though if you welded tangs for the handles which swept backwards, it would give much better control of the angle of the blade. This has encouraged me to have a go. Thanks.
Great little draw knife, good work. I hope you don't get offended; I laughed when I saw you pushing the belt sander to get it started with your fingers, I thought, I hope he doesn't have to stop it with his finger too.
Thats great! Pretty satisfying when you were working with the wood!
Boy I was certain you weren't going to get that pitting and tarnish off that steel. You proved me wrong! You got that planer blade looking like it could go into surgery!
Отличная работа! The wooden handles are perfect!

In this man’s shop, you don’t drill wood. Wood drills you.

Sé vé qué tienes mucha capacidad ingeniosa y habilidad para crear y adaptar tus herramientas; además de que eres muy técnico y práctico,yo admiro a éste tipo de personas felicidades,por lo tanto acabo de suscribirme,muchos likes, Saludos desde México.
Great idea using an already beveled blade but to be honest i can't imagine a round handled draw knife being very comfortable to use since it will start digging into the material itself and it will require more force to keep the blade from eating into the trunk itself.
Deeply satisfying to watch
