Antique Drawknife Restoration and Demonstration

Here is the full restoration of a very old drawknife. Made in the mid 1800's by William Greaves & Sons of Sheaf Works in Sheffield. It lay broken, forgotten and rusting at the back of a farm shed until it was found during a clear out and passed to me. With a bit of care and effort it now lives again!
