  • We will be using the draw knife on several coming projects. The best way to use a draw knife is the hold the project securely using a shavehorse. My son and I show you how you can easily build your own!

    Nice shaving horse. But the most impressive part of the video was a father working with his child. Good for you.

  • @robertlangley258
    @robertlangley258 7 лет назад +21

    Very good video, learned a lot. You are the epitome of how a father should share his time and knowledge with his son and expose him to hands on techniques so he can be self sufficient when he grows up. Your son will always love and respect you. I am proud for you. God bless.

    Good on you man for having your kid in the shop👍 All the skills I needed to get me going, and some of my happiest memories, were gained from spending time making with my dad and grandad. Still remember the smell of both shops... funny the things that stick. Remember nailing 4 pieces of 2x1 together and calling them "window frames" 😂😂
    All the best and hope you both make lots of great memories 👍

    Man, wow.. wow.. wow. It's heartwarming seeing how fantastic can be the a dad's love for his son. You were perfect all the time and your kid "Oh my God", he's lovely, totally lovely; he's totally integrated to your shop, he's calm and sweet. I have no words to express how I'm moved.. I know, better than everyone, how this living together between dad and son is important to to the growth of a healthy and happy person. I'm totally right that your Zach will be a very happy man and will give to his kids the same wonderful education you're giving to him. Thank you, thank you so much for sharing this precious example of Love and Blessing, watching this video made an extreme well to me. Watching it, made me full of love and full of hope in humanity. God Bless your Family. Renato here. :-)

    Im a recent subscriber and Ive been enjoying your canoe series. Love everything about what you do and where you live and how you react with the kids all of it. Managed to resist commenting until now and your words at the end of this video that did it. My kids and grandkids have and still are learning all this stuff together with me. Bushcraft can and does reflect in everyday life and many of the skills for one reflect in the other. Keep doing it sir just as you are and know theres another family across the pond sharing the fun and frustrations with you.

    I had to go ahead and click the like button when you put ear-plugs in you son's ears. Good move, Dad.
    Next step after practicing up on wood, or as a side study... Blacksmithing. then you can make the metal parts for your tools too, pliers, knives, assorted blades, hinges for your cabin doors, pots and pans, coat hooks....... the list goes on and on if you have wood and metal skills. That boy of yours is adorable. are you speaking French to him? you have no discernible accent when you are speaking English.
