Making a wood chisel

[@muggzzzzz]

My grandfather was a woodworker. His workshop was full of different chisels, plains, wood mallets, and handmade clamps. When I was young, I was surrounded by the house stuff made by him. He left this world 30 years ago, but I still clearly remember him. Thank you for making me recalling him! You've made a wonderful chisel!

[@torbjornahman]

That's great, thanks!

[@idjles]

And my carpenter grandfather left this world 50 years ago - same story!

[@dewexdewex]

My dad died 7 years ago. I have all his tools, all of mine, the space and time now to use them to build my world around me. I am lucky.

[@jeffreycoulter4095]

Beyond a hobby. This is the finest in quality craftsmanship. Every step, every detail from scrap steels, through heat welding, shaping, sharpening and wood working. It doesn't get any better than this.

Thank you Jeffrey!

[@outbackladas]

My father was an “old school “ carpenter, he kept a box of Sheffield steel chisels similar to the one you have made, however none had such a beautiful handle as this one of yours. Wonderful craftsmanship as usual, such an enjoyable video! Love your cats, I have “ Rag Dolls”, long haired. Regards from down under.

[@torbjornahman]

Do you still have the chisels? Great tools! Cool, we are pretty certain there is a sizeable amount of "russian blue" in our cats!

[@outbackladas]

Thank you for the reply. Yes, they are still in the family, one of my sons is a carpenter and has inherited them. The carpentry skipped a generation, I am the metal worker which is probably why I enjoy your videos so much. My family share your love of cats, your cat is obviously well cared for and loved. Have a great day, regards from your Aussie friend.

[@PeopleAlreadyDidThis]

While the chisel is another work of artistry, the cats cannot be surpassed for their elegance. Gifts from God, all three. I only have a couple of years’ experience as a blacksmith, but a half-century with cats. I know the look of a happy and contented one who loves its family. That’s different from merely living comfortably with a family.

[@silvasos4053]

There is no way to praise a work as perfect as this. Congratulations. Great video. I'm from Tremembé, São Paulo, Brazil.

[@torbjornahman]

Thank you very much!

[@hosshoffer7579]

Incredible attention to detail. I learned a new way to add tool steel to make the cutting edge. My greatgrandparents came from Lund and brought their blacksmithing with them when they settled in northern Minnesota. I wish I had been able to learn from them. I like to believe that they would have had the same sense of craftsmanship that you have in these videos.

[@torbjornahman]

Thanks! That is nice! Any tools left?

Thanks! I forge weld proper hardenable steel to the edge side. The rest is just mild steel that can't hold an edge, but is cheap and easier to forge and shape.

[@chuxmix65]

I think the question was "Why a steel band at the top of the handle and a brass band near the blade?". I was curious about the same thing.

[@torbjornahman]

@@chuxmix65 Oh sorry. The tool is meant to be struck with a mallet and to prevent the wood from splitting at the top the steel band is there. Brass is too soft for that.
