Awsome.

where can you purchase a draw knife like the one used? great video.

In the US there are a number of places. google Traditional Woodworker and a shop will pop right up.

sounds like angry bees in the background.. O.o

Nice vid dude when I make shingles they always seem to feather of to one end I find it hard getting straight grained timber in the woods by me

Slight confusion here, shingles are sawn out of the log, shakes are split out of the log, so the split ones are not shingles but shakes. @MrBobthedog they should be thinner one end than the other, the thin end goes near the top of the roof.

I was one of those lucky enough to work on repairs to a church on Nantucket Island, where we replaced badly repaired cedar shingles (repairs done in the 1980's and already failed), with hand-split and shaved pine exactly like the rest of the church was still covered with.
The original pine shingles are still on the church from 1840. We used cut steel nails as per the originals, after the originals from an exposed spot were examined.
The lantern at the top was rebuilt, and reroofed.

Sorry, but shakes are rough split, while shingles are either sawn OR split and shaved for thickness, straightness and removing wane.

I bought the majority of mine at used tool stores or yard sales. Most folks have NO idea what they're worth, or even for.
Make sure you pass up any that are too worn down from sharpening, save your money for better tools.
Recently I bought a two-man log carrier at an auction for $10 with other tools (frame saw etc.). Got my slick as a chisel head, just made up a nice ash handle for it out of a firewood billet.
Make up my own wood (oak handle, walnut head) mallets.

excellent tutorial video.
