A teeny little drawknife I made

[Bob Haverstock]

George,

I had to go back and read the posts again, I think that I'm the only Bob that posted.

I will keep the blade to six inches or shorter. I'm sure that in forging the cutting edge, I will incure some twisting. I don't want to get hung up for 20 minutes trying to fix an OOPS, so the blades will be short.

I got to practice turning the handles, The wood will be common to Illinois.

Not every person who attends a demo is really interested in that exact project, but most are interested in the various techiques. It will be a hammer and anvil thing, no flypress or trip hammer. Yes, I guess it will be kind of a Neander thing.

BTW, George, I was given a bunch of VCR tapes. One of them was a Roy Underhill tape on planes (1982). Did I see one of your beautiful brass bodied planes from the music shop in Roy's hand?

Hi,Bob.I have no idea about the brass plane in the VCR. Roy did do a show in the instrument shop,but it was many years ago.I can't remember what we covered.

Thanks to George for his inspiration, I've start making a small draw knife.

I've got a good start, and a ways to go. The handles are scrap walnut.

Bob,it is good to see that you have made something from inspiration. That is actually the best outcome from having posted something.
