| Re: Carvers Drawknife There you go, getting the forging juices flowing. Trying to stay on course with carving and here you post about a drawknife. Actually Cap'n it is a great looking drawknife and you should be proud of the finish resolutes. Now you have another sideline. You will never be bored in your retirement years. Thanks for the picture and your help Kenny S

 | Re: Carvers Drawknife Great job, Capt!! I wonder....is it a 'guy thing' to venture off into making one's own tools, or do women carvers get into that, too? The thought would never cross my mind :-) Teri

| Re: Carvers Drawknife Very nice job on the draw knife, I wonder if a car leaf spring would work?? I have several spoke shaves, but this is much nicer. steve

| Re: Carvers Drawknife Very nice work Captain. Makes me want to go buy some fire bricks and scrounge up a blower, a piece of RR track, some springs, and a big bag of coal. |

| Re: Carvers Drawknife Cap't. Very well done! If you straightened the handles a bit, it might fit into my Christmas stocking. |

| Re: Carvers Drawknife Thanks for all the kind words. Yes, I suppose it is a 'guy thing' to make tools. And, yes, a leaf spring would work very well as it is probably the same kind of steel. This spring steel is what Flex-cut tools are made from. As for finding time, I carve on weekday nights, forge on the weekends. I started work on that Celtic knot love spoon and it is not as difficult as I thought it would be. I will post it when it is done. As for gathering up some tools and trying your hand at forging, by all means give it a try. A lot of fine carvers are also great blacksmiths! I have no idea why these two crafts go together but they do.

| Re: Carvers Drawknife Well Captain, you dog gone and done it. You've got me into forging too. I've got my 3/16' tool rod, my torch and I'm ready to go. I'm hoping to give it a try this weekend. I think maybe it is a guy thing, making your own tools. My wife asked me what I'm doing with the tool rod and I said I'm making a carving knife. She said 'Why don't you just go buy one?' They just don't understand. Chris
