Small Drawknife

[Mikhandmaker]

I have always been fascinated by tiny woodworking tools so I have decided to create my own collection. I have started with a small drawknife using an old file and a broken hanger for the handles.

Although the result is perfectly valid for being used, my idea is to keep it as a part of a future wider collection.

Materials

• Old file
• Hanger wood
• Brass rod
• Cyanoacrylate

• Annealing is a process in which heat is used to soften metal to improve its malleability and make it easier to work.

Very nice, I am planning to make a similar knife from an HSS planer blade, still working out how to do the bent tangs though.

If you decide to make it, I'd like to know how finally you bent them!! Thank you.

I think it might be possible with oxyacet but I don't have that. I will probably have to cut notches and get some mild steel welded on.
