I picked upward a draw knife awhile dorsum for cheap and one of the handles could definitely stand up a replacement. I don't own a lathe to make my own. Where's a good place to become replacement handles? I take it the actual replacement is but a matter of grinding off the end of the old 1, replacing the handle and repeening the finish over the cap to.secure information technology.

This was going to be a later project, but I have an axe I want to rehaft and the handle needs to be shaved down a adept bit. I figure I might likewise go alee and practice the restore on the describe knife to have a better tool to restore the axe with. I'll take to check into the file handles. That my exist a possibility if I tin can't discover some already drilled for a fatigued pocketknife.

Some old drawknife handles were driven on when the metallic was heated up. My most used drawknife has an old replaced handle that looks like a piece of shovel or broom handle. The handle piece was drilled out lengthwise first, so driven on and the finish metal peened over.

I'd probably look for an accordingly sized screw on wood file handle, or pair of them

hey, I tried petty with the draw knife on a tool handle (axe) on some hickory, I wanted to thin some portions significantly and I didn't have any other meliorate tool, the trouble with the draw knife still was that as before long equally I started "drawing" with the grain, it would split out the wood, and on a properly grained piece of hickory, that ways you lot could stop upwardly with a huge split on the handle...a small aeroplane (or improve yet a spoke-shave) is probably a amend tool, since the tool cocky regulates how deep information technology goes. So again, I might accept been using it incorrectly. I just got a 3x18 belt sander (hand held variety) for Christmas, thinking of modifying axe handles. I would like to go a bench top multifariousness (1x30 or 2x72) in the future for metal grinding, but human that little sander, up side downward in my vise does great piece of work!
I haven't tried making a handle out of a billet of forest, I suspect that a draw knife would be very handy for that type of task, which is why I thought of getting the file handles when I did.

*if peening on the handle, I would definitely get a washer to peen on at the aforementioned time, to assist the handle get very permanent.

I'd look into the file handles. The draw knife I bought is older but has handles that expect lke any file I take.
