Nice drawknife. Used to make scrapers out of log chipper blades from a papermill. They were some steel. Thank you for the video, Todd. Stay safe and stay warm

[@SurvivalSherpa]

Thank you, sir! The knife works well if I can keep the strength up to keep skinning. Hope you're staying warm and healthy!

That's a heavy duty draw knife indeed! From experience, you may not let the sun shine on freshly de- barked logs, the heat softens sap and it "runs", that can damage the logs, maybe your logs are too big to be affected?????

[@SurvivalSherpa]

Not sure how running sap would damage the logs but would be interested to hear your experience. Thanks for watching.

@@SurvivalSherpa what I found was the sap would drip out of the logs, I used to make tipi poles BTW, this would leave an empty space that may weaken the thinner ends, over time the poles did crack and eventually break, shortening the poles, I also found cube rot within some poles as well, more weakness!

Wish you spoke louder.

Well that's something I don't usually hear. I've got plans to add a mic to my set up to remedy that problem on audio. Thanks for letting me know.
