Chisel Set for decorative work - Blacksmithing tools

[@honthirty_]

My first blacksmith project was a set of 3 chisels. Still use them.

[@shortfuse43]

John, very good explanations of the S-7 steel heat treatment properties. Thanks for posting them.

[@Smallathe]

Wonderful video - Thank you!!! I Watched this one last evening.... I bet you didn't hear that before - I love to do my aerobic training while watching your videos. They are so much fun and fascinating - I just don't notice the time go by... and they are of perfect length (Even short ones - as I skip back to re-watch interesting parts) which is perfect for a warm up before lifting weights... :) Definitely an great inspiration - which reminds me I need to make more tongs and chisels... :)

[@noknownalias1353]

Theses videos are awesome, while I am not a blacksmith, I find theses videos very fulfilling and fun!

[@The_Smith]

That fiber wheel gives a nice finish, nice work John.

[@BlackBearForge]

Yes it does!

[@jimTB.]

Where are you getting your fiber wheel?

[@sundownsam3369]

I make handmade jewelry using a hammer, chisel, filer, andsolder when I have to. Yesterday and today I started looking at your videos and it opened my mind to used news techniques when making jewelry. I really enjoy the video when you allow men help splitting still, old school.

[@timocsutube]

Cool timing John..I am currently working on my "Aspery Set" of chisels to make his wizard bottle opener. I am following the book in order, using 4140. But I have some s7 laying around, so not only was this vid cool for my chisel making. I learned a little more about s7 properties. Thank You Sir.

I had planned to make a couple tools this morning. Now I have the right mindset. Thanks John. Great video as usual.

[@josephnorton1996]

I love that you are doing the basics. I laughed loud enough my wife asked about it when you held up the hundred chisels you had as an "assortment"

[@battlinbill1613]

I feel like your production quality has reached a level where you are entitled to have a cool intro with some good music. Think Woodwright's Shop. Maybe that's just superfluous and we've all got plenty of important things to do though, so I certainly can't fault you if you never do. But your videos are really very good on every level and you are tremendous value to the community. Thanks!

[@BlackBearForge]

Thanks, the problem with cool intros is that many people loose interest in the video if it doesn't start off right away.

[@derekardron2989]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I have recently been asked to make a set of stone mason chisels for a friend of mine, using S7. I have never used any tool steel before, and wasn't sure how to tackle this project. Keep up the great work, we really appreciate it!

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad it was helpful!

[@larryjones4713]

I love watching you John, I have worked with metal for 35years. And im still learning from you. Ever new video you put out I learn something else. Looking for more videos from you. Thanks Larry

[@1noryb]

Exactly what is needed. hand and handled tooling is next on my list.

[@douglasfathers4848]

As all ways John a grate video on tool making , I don't know how many times I have gone back to your early videos for information on how to . And I'm shore I will use this video a few times in the future . Thanks John . :)

[@noahmason7228]

finally getting caught up watching a year worth of videos from you. so happy to see the success this channel is receiving. im excited to get my own forge and finally start doing blacksmithing, just need the anvil...

[@jamesjams5085]

So glad I found your channel, you have a fantastic approach to teaching. Definitely keeping me spellbound by your knowledge.

[@youngranger8212]

you are a true wealth of information, and your video editing skills are impressive impressive

[@tobyjo57]

Nice set of tools John and Thanks for the detailed guidance in making them

[@BlackBearForge]

Glad you like them!

[@stevefarley7014]

Best topic!

[@Aminuts2009]

I really like that size and use them with a pair of tongs at the anvil. I use a tong clamp. Makes it pretty easy. I think its a good way to do it.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great job John, really enjoyed watching you make those different tools. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻✋🏻✋🏻

[@bobgore1962]

Awesome video, John! ... So much valuable information, that I'm going to have to watch it again, and take notes! Thank you so much for sharing. 💯😎👍🏻🔥🔨

[@gurvinderkau1e5w18]

I remember u made a video in past using S7 tool steel. Chisel look cool. Looking forward to see them in use👍👍🔥🔥💥💥

[@andystoolbox]

Excellent set of tools. Well done!

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Very nice review of the tools, great info. Thank you John.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

[@paulorchard7960]

Very pretty tools John! I should make some, have a few coils I could use and improving skills is always time spent wisely!

[@brittinghammerforge9441]

[@CarlJohnson-ry3gc]

Excellent video, thank you for sharing.

[@ScienceFoundation]

I've just recently started watching your videos but I gotta tell ya, every time I tune in I expect you to lecture me on diabeetus.

[@LunchboxNinja]

I love your fancy new apron! By the way, thank you for this episode. I've been looking for a good tutorial on making my own chisel sets for what I do, and the advice in this episode definitely stopped me from making some mistakes (such as normalizing)

[@BlackBearForge]

The apron is one I got from Forge Aprons several years ago. There should be a link in the video description. As far as not normalizing goes, that is only because I am using air hardening steel. If using oil or water hardening varieties, normalizing is still a good idea.

[@LunchboxNinja]

@@BlackBearForge understood! Thanks again for clarifying. Also another question: I saw some comments on another thread saying that O1 tool steel shouldn't use oil, but water or air, mostly because it's much more forgiving, but ends up stronger with the water and air hardening. Could you provide some insight?

[@BlackBearForge]

@@LunchboxNinja I haven't heard those statements. But consider that water and air are at opposite ends of the quenching options. Air is a very slow quench that may have little effect on O1 and water is a very harsh quench that could cause failure in O1. The recommended practices certainly don't suggest anything other than oil. If you want to experiment to compare results it would certainly be possible to test the theory

[@LunchboxNinja]

@@BlackBearForge Thank you for the feedback! Keeping a running notebook of these items, and especially what doesn't work haha

[@lughaidhcook3429]

What weight of hammer do you usually use just wondering I’m 14 year old boy more active than usual kids these days

[@BlackBearForge]

I use a 3 pound hammer. But start with something comfortable, perhaps 2 pounds, then work you way up

[@jonas2431]

Great vids as always

[@analogplanet9675]

My understanding of normalization is that it's merely allowing the grain structure to become roughly uniform over the important areas of the workpiece. Stresses may be built up from work hardening or differential cooling/heating during the forging process which could cause issues like warps or cracks when you move to heat treatment. So for air hardening steels, "normalizing" could be as simple as leaving it in the forge at working temperature for a few minutes before the "quench". The fact that you can forge this steel without breaking it, proves that the time it takes to "blow off it's steam" up at tempurture, is faster than, or at least roughly equal to, the rate at which it accumulates stresses during forging, at your rate of deformation per heat cycle, and temperature. Therefore, taking a few "heats" without forging is likely to suffice. You'd probably want to take a normalization cycle in between really profound and/or rapid deformations of a bar (such as a 4:1 reduction in width, in a single heat, under a power hammer). I guess I think of "normalizing" as prep for heat treat or profound forging, mainly, and "annealing" as a means to end up with maximally soft steel, with zero accumulated stresses, at room temperature. Just my two cents, the rigorous scientific definitions are likely to differ, and I don't care what words people use as long as they work to communicate the important idea.

[@PhilipLichty]

This is so helpful

[@zombiemaster123456]

You should texture your handles like you do your holdfasts with that dimple gun

[@melissawilson7373]

Hello. I really enjoy your videos. I will be attempting to make some tools in the near future. I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your blacksmith apron. Thank you for always being so informative and detailed in the videos. It really helps beginners like myself to understand fully the steps necessary to be a successful blacksmith.

[@marciofernandobarci]

I thanksa lot your time and sharing it. What about this induction device? Might you please give us better directions? I need to import one to Brazil...regards

[@erikcourtney1834]

I wonder how hard it actually gets letting it cool in still air. Since it can be hardened in oil also, wouldn’t air hardening mean to “quench it” with compressed air? It seems to be sufficient enough since that’s the method you use on all your s7 tools and they seem to hold up fine.

[@michaelrowland1326]

Was wondering if you were going to make an new Christmas gift ideas.

[@BlackBearForge]

I probably won't do very many specifically as Christmas gifts (next weeks will be). But there have been quite a few this year that would make good gift ideas. Here are a few of those. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3_Zg4SJedWEpaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpnTZqdua6hkaaM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHSpnGyAYrp9bdk kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ7CZpykZ72SgbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmawkJ6iZ52Nmck kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5vMg2qId8-hitk

[@billwoehl3051]

I just inherited a William Forester coach maker anvil, guessing about 90 lbs, what was the little extra tab sticking out of the side originally used for? Also inherited a round pan forge with a champion hand crank blower, it was frozen up, but, was easily and gently played with and pried on and working great now, took maybe an hour.

[@BlackBearForge]

I'm not familiar with that anvil. But if the tab you are referring to is the same as the side face on my Fomtanini, it is largely used to allow scroll work to curve under the face.

[@billwoehl3051]

@@BlackBearForge similar to yours, but stepped down like the cut shelf of the horn.

[@brettthompson5919]

John, what are your thoughts on the induction heater now that you've had it for a while? Additionally, can you share where it came from and any learning curve issues you have had. Thank you very much for all you do!

[@BlackBearForge]

I bought mine from US Solids. Although I think most of whats out there is nearly identical. I really like it, but it does have size limitations. I'm hoping to use it more often to see just how much I can do with it.

[@garygraham2974]

You are a blacksmith I want to be beside my brother that is a blacksmith

[@wardkimmel9590]

Enjoy watching your videos! Is sucker rod good for making punches and chisels?

[@BlackBearForge]

Yes, its actually very good if you keep it cool in use

[@roadyinzer2461]

I’ve just begun learning the blacksmithing trade and have a question. I’m making tools as I need them and would like to make a set of chisels for my shop. I have a 7 foot long 5/8” thick titanium round bar. Would this be a good material to use as a chisel? Thanks for any advice. Love the channel!

[@dandelionacresoh9064]

I have a question you may have already answered but I haven’t seen it yet .. but here it is again or maybe for the first time..! How did you or do you choose your touch make and did you make your punch or did you have it made..?

[@BlackBearForge]

Mine is simply my last name and a Bear paw for Black Bear Forge. I had it made by Henry Evers company. they should be online

[@luigiangelolibrizzi356]

I discovered his videos and subscribed to his channel. You remind me of my father who was an old school blacksmith and physically looks like him too :). I still have his workshop and all his tools. What intrigues me is the weight of your hammer which, seeing how it beats on the anvil, seems to me much lighter than the one my father used. I would like to ask you the weight of that hammer?

[@BlackBearForge]

Its about 3 pounds

[@frankheger5185]

👍👍

[@nekonosuke3086]

Made my first chisel a couple weeks before this video, wish I could've watched this first! So is S-7 suitable for engraving like a high carbon damascus knife?

[@BlackBearForge]

It should be so long as the blade hasn't been hardened

[@nekonosuke3086]

@@BlackBearForge Ah, that would explain why my first shot didn't go so well. Figured it was the heat treat or alloy for the chisel - I'm still a bit wet behind the ear. Thanks for the tip!

[@VRplay86]

hey John are you going to make anything from the mastermere find anymore or have you already made everything from the book just wondering really like the stuff from the mastermir fine it was really neat

[@BlackBearForge]

I still have lots to work on from that collection. Just have trouble finding time for everything I want to get done in the shop

[@Boosted98gsx]

Where did you get the stock to make these?

[@BlackBearForge]

I usually buy from McMaster Carr, but most industrial suppliers will have a good selection of tool steel.

[@billwoehl3051]

Is there any apps for the temperature color reference of the steel?

none that I know of
