Make sure to wrap the blade in a wet cloth to prevent annealing the edge when you heat the tang to bend it straight. Good luck<br /><br />Andy,<br />Just put on that sad puppy dog face and offer to wax their truck.

Makes an old farmboy homesick.<br />On the drawknife. I need to check your older posts to see when a draw knife is defined as bevel up or down. I have quite a collection and when I see a good one at a flea mkt I can't keep from bringing it home.<br />That being said I would like to bend one of the handles straight out to use for carving the seats. <br />Another member of the chair making teaching fraternity (I'll not identify him) uses such a knife rather handlely but not so much that I want to pay him about $150 for the tool. <br />The annealing should provide the answer much more economically.

Where we live there are so many elms that die when their diameter reaches 10-12" and I think about the uses they can be put to.<br /><br />ticoTico Vogthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743565097341810389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-8577895851030400362010-04-27T06:11:56.333-05:002010-04-27T06:11:56.333-05:00Greg,

Perhaps you should write up a post about the handle bending, reasons and process, I'll link to it (why should I have all the fun!) Beautiful job on the bench by the way, they sure found the right guy for the job.<br />PetePeter Galberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206420121702258974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-34827593346488855182010-04-26T22:13:20.701-05:002010-04-26T22:13:20.701-05:00Pete,

I was able to fit the rusty caps back on the handle and sand on the lathe at high speed to really clean them up. I guess I got carried away. I will peen these on tommorrow when I'm more awake. I did bend the handles to make a bevel up knife without heat. It didn't have to be bent much. Keep an eye on the blog for some pictures later. Thanks again.<br />GregGreg Penningtonnoreply@blogger.com
