Forging a cold chisel from a coil spring

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Forging your own tools is one of the best parts of blacksmithing. This is a great and simple tool project and a good introduction to hardening and tempering.

    @@VooDooTennessee dude I just found your station like only a few days ago, and I'm totally hooked! It will take me some time to catch up from the beginning, to now. This is cool, and it just proves: Robot's have no soul, and AI can never completely replace human thinking. 3D printers can never replace the mighty Blacksmith. BTW, have you ever made a sword? Or a gun, or something like jewelry?

    Thank you. You make it look easy. Just a little harder to do for somebody like me.

    i've always stuck it in the hardy hole and cranked it halfway straight and pounded it the rest of the way!! what you call normalizing i've always known as work annealing! normalizing is when you do it right before tempering to take out stress and to make the grain more uniform at least that's what i was taught! you just saved me some agravition on hot cutters, i need to make a new hot cut for the hardy and i thought i had to temper it and tempering something that shape always gives me trouble!

    Now, I could do this, quite straight forward job, but I would never manage to do it without getting slightly burned once or twice, expressing my pain in some commonly used expressions that would surely get the video demonetized and possibly deleted. So, well done, you are either very careful or very good at editing. And that Calamity Jane kitty was probably there to protest the use of kitty litter in metal heat treatment, but as cats usually do, she forgot to mention it.
