Love your informative dialogue. Have watched many Blacksmithing videos,but yours is the first to advise against hardening hot punches,with sounds reasons given as to why not.
Excellent presentation as usual, nice work
Great video man, I really enjoy the tool making videos.
Your videos are mint 👌
Super demo - thank you
Cool video have to make a square booster waiting on Beer 🍻 day myself
Très instructif, joindre l'utile à l'agréable. J'ai une préférence pour les objets utilitaires que vous nous proposez. Merci
Nice work!! 👌
Hope the casualty is recovering. Our thoughts and prayers etc etc! 😆
Very nice video. Thanks so much for this tips and tricks. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work. Forge On. Keep Making. God bless.
I agree with not wanting to use a high carbon steel for drifts, but what about a mangnese steel? Which are a fair bit tougher and more resistant to bending/musrooming when getting a decent whalloping? That is at least what some of my colleagues here in the Netherlands tend to do.

Sounds like a good idea. Not one I've tried but sounds like time for an experiment
