Some of my new (old) tools

You should really enjoy the drawknife. They are a really fact acting tool that can remove wood really fast or take very delicate shavings.

If you like that type of work, think about making a shaving horse.

Looks like you have a little work ahead of you. Should be nice when you get it done.

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.
