Some of my new (old) tools



Finally making some headway in the tools department. Got my drawknife, old, rusty, but mine. I'll try and fix it up and picked up a few more saws including a coping saw. Maybe a well about time in your minds, but hey i'm excited. They are new to me but older tools. All that means to me is that they are built better than any newer tools so enjoy.

I love my drawknife. It is the really quick way to shape things like a hammer handle. I suggest learning how to use electrolysis to remove the rust. It eats the rust without removing all of the metal.

Congrat on the drawknife, you got a wonderful tool there.
When you get to the sharpening, it is important you do it right.
It need to be flattened on one side and sharpen on the other, do not start sharpening the flat side.

Hope it can help you, I have my self put a bunch of them back to life, and they work wonderful even they were rusty and some even needed new handles.
Best thoughts,
