Mountain Borne
Приєднався 17 вер 2014
Hi, I'm James Siewert.
I live in Idaho with my family in a log house I built nearly 10 years ago with my wife. I began log building in 1999, and I've been doing log work and woodworking ever since. We chose the name Mountain Borne because of our living and working in the beautiful mountains of central Idaho, where God has blessed us abundantly with a forest's greatest resource, the tree. Carried by the summits surrounding us, these provide both material and inspiration for the projects we create.

Zeb the Belgian Draft Horse Logging in June

Lately we've been working with our Belgian draft horse, Zeb. He's a sweet guy, used to pulling hay wagons and buggies in a team, but has recently been enjoying the use of his muscles for dragging logs. One-horse power!

Just got my Great Great Grandfather's Drawknife, and I'm so excited to use it. My Grandma said that it could easily be 150 yrs plus old. Thanks for the video,I've learned a lot so far from this.😊
Is that a bevel up or bevel down draw knife?
I'd like to know where you got that big round blade for your grinder and what grit it is ? Thanks
Hi I really enjoyed this video. I am in the process of building one at the moment. Where was this filmed? Can you tell me the history of this Doodlebug? Thank you.

Hey what is the length size of your drawknife blade, only blad size in length and in width. Actually I need 10" thick blade, in straight line no concave shape. For making cricket 🏏 bat.
"The draw knife is made by Barr Specialty Tools- 12" cutting edge - 3/8" x 3" x 22"
what about drawknife you are using. i need that. how much for that.
This is from a reply to a comment with basically the same question, "The draw knife is made by Barr Specialty Tools- 12" cutting edge - 3/8" x 3" x 22" They may still have it on their website with a price...
I hope I'm doing this at that age!
Where did you get that knife? I can’t find one anywhere that’s a good size, heavy, and solid. The ones I’m finding are more so for hobbyists. Any advice?

Where can I get a good logging drawknife like the one in your video. The commercial ones these days aren’t very good

Nice
All those men knew there whole life was hard work. God bless them greatest generation bar none
This is a good draw knife....nice deep cutting blade eg 2 inches so can get maximum contact with wood surface for maximum stability, correct meaning it simulates a wood plane, correct ? A low bevel angle of 16 degrees works best for removing bark ? What is the maker’s name ? Is it readily available ? What about the curved swedish draw knife which has handles almost parallel to the blade ?
This is from a reply to a comment with basically the same question, "The draw knife is made by Barr Specialty Tools- 12" cutting edge - 3/8" x 3" x 22" They may still have it on their website with a price... Interesting thoughts on the Swedish, not sure.
And you dont pull sideways on the knife as you pull. Obviously you haven't done this that much
I was thinking the same thing. Lol. I look at him an think a hippie pothead left the city with a DVD copy of Jeremiah Johnson. Must be a doctor too. I've never wore gloves when working logs, but hey too each his I guess. Must be Colorado small trees. Bit different here in northwest Idaho an Montana. Enjoy the day.
Adding a slant to the pull makes it so that the blade wears more evenly and doesn't depend on blunt force, but rather technique (similar to that of basic principle- slicing with a kitchen knife, to take advantage of a full blade).
Your really slow bro. Chainsaw the k ots flush before you start. I hit 300ft a day drawing
What is the best readily draw for removing bark ? Do you like the swedish draw knife type which has handles nearly parallel to blade ?
@@DRJMF1 we have custom made draw knifes. The handles need to be roughly 20 to 30 percent angle up from your blade. How you sharpen it matters the angle of the bevel and edge are very important.
habe akku winkelschleifer gekauft und das ua-cam.com/video/a66XuZ2YaLg/v-deo.html
Es tut mir leid, das ist nicht schön. Fast, just not beautiful. Great for the knots, tho, for sure.
What kind of pants you got on?
Filson
4:36 lol
That was helpful. Thanks.
Wow!
What a sweet doodlebug! Those old timers aren't afraid of hard work either!
that log is already pealed?
Dead standing, often times much of the bark long gone. Thanks
@@MountainBorne yes but you peal it again
These guys are awesome, nice truck too
what grit did you use to get the knots out? if you could please. . . i am making a wing chun dummy from scratch and ive peeled the log with a draw knife. . . you have the best tutorial . . . please advise!! p.s thanks for the comment on the gut!! lol
Thanks Stephen, I generally use 24-36 grit on the grinder then depending on location orbital sander 60 grit.
10-4 thank you sir!
Do you have a video? or would you be interested in doing a video on sharpening a draw knife?
Hi, nice drawknife, never seen one with a blade that deep or thick before. Did you say it is made by Bar(r) - is this it: barrtools.com/product/draw-knife-large/ ? BTW I make edge guards for my edge tools, for drawknives leather (3layers including the gusset/welt that goes against the edge) or wood (by cutting a slim mortice as long as the cutting edge). Best to put some ventilation in and oil the tools before putting them away (see: rag in a can oiler video by Paul Sellers ;) ). That way your grandchildren can perhaps inherit a fine working tool :D
Yes that is toolmaker
its not often i login just to like a video. if you upload consistently and keep it genuine like this youll get a ton of views.
Thanks for the encouragement!
I just bought my first draw knife an am so exited to get into it. This video was very helpful so thank you
Great, thanks for watching!
Just picked up a drawknife, chinacon type but it works, keeping it sharp helps, I got curved drawknife also but it does not work so well on bigger logs, no place to put hands, but I’m sure it will work great on spindlwood and smaller railings, etc,Americans need start making them so we don’t have to buy chinacon stuff, the German stuff is nice but way over priced, google it and u will see,,.
Hi can this drawknife be use for making cricket bat!! If yes I want to buy from you, cause in india there no seller who sells this
Original badass
great video bro. Very good tips! was wondering what kind of overalls you got. thanks
Thank you, the overalls are Filson "oil tin double finish bibs".
Do you have any footage of building your cabin?
I do, plan to put some more video up this winter as time allows.
Great stuff man!
I see them every summer on "Miño" river on Galicia (spain) every summer, respect those pilots, they risk their lives to save ours.
That was a great video !!! Most info I've seen in youtube drawknife vids. Grats.
+Cassian YHVH Thank you, I'm glad you found it informative. How'd your project go?
Tomorrow morning the peeling starts. I'm making a tenonizer log TV stand with logs I just cut this evening. Putting it together green and all.
Great shot. We had seen them at the airport but never in action, collecting the water from the surface of Lake Cascade, Idaho. Thanks for capturing this event.
+Katrin Thompson Thank you
Having a prop plane pass over you at low level is always exciting.
Nice vid. I'm shopping for a drawknife right now and was curious> Would a smaller drawknife be easier to handle on smaller logs or would it matter? (logs i got are bout half the diameter of those in this video, and smaller)
+Zach Bagby Hey Zach, you should do great with smaller knife. Good way to learn technique.
Alrighty cool thanks. Yea, I ended up going with a 9in from two cherries. Its been working awsome so far

That looks like a quality draw knife. Did you happen to forge it yourself? I can't seem to find a new or vintage one with a blade like that. I'm guessing the blade is 3-4" wide and 12" long. The weight of it seems to help you pull through the bark. Nicely done!
Erichilli The draw knife is made by Barr Specialty Tools- 12" cutting edge - 3/8" x 3" x 22" barrtools.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=BT&Product_Code=DKL&Category_Code=DK It's been the most effective knife I've used or seen. The steel he uses holds an edge for a long time, too. Thank you, James
Mountain Borne Aah. In the video; when you mentioned that it was a "Barr" drawknife; I thought you were referencing that it was a metal "bar" type design. Thanks for the explanation and link.
