I had never seen anyone do the secondary bevel before. Very good idea.

Yep, wish I knew what EN42 was in real life! Do love your vids, keep on keeping on!

[@seanofoghlu5747]

Great idea with the oval shape for directional control

Thats a great lesson for us begginers out here. I've been wanting to make some hot chissels and only just started smithing ( Hobby Stuff ) last year. I have no idea where to obtain a piece of EN42 but do have some old springs that look very similar to those used for holding rail tracks in place. Do you have any idea if it might be worth trying those. Thanks for the super lesson

[@paulorchard7960]

In the same boat as you mate, EN42, H13 and XP071 are just numbers, love to just get a general idea of what it means when the only option is salvaged steel, springs, and any other options that are even close! I do buy a lot of steel, but only stock sized mild in the quantities I need at the time! Cannot afford to have a steel yard with every thing I may ever need!

[@kristinydnul444]

I'm not sure about the exact steel of rail track springs but they would definitely be a medium spring steel of some sort so would probably do the job, also alot of suspension springs from old cars are EN45 or equivalent

[@billwoehl3051]

Even mild steel will work, although you would have to redress the edge after each use, the railroad clip will be just fine.

@@kristinydnul444 Thanks for your input so I will give my Rail Springs a try to see waht happens if I can learn to temper them correctly. Cheers

[@billwoehl3051]

That metal doesn't like to move does it? Using a heavier hammer, hitting fairly hard, yet don't see much movement still per blow.

[@phoenixforge5944]

It's almost as bad as stainless steel

[@verdigrissirgidrev4152]

the trick is to use a heavy hammer with a small face. hit the corners first before hitting center, isolate mass.

[@billwoehl3051]

@@verdigrissirgidrev4152 agree, a rounder on the horn be moving that a bit better.
