nc_cooter Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I made some tools this week. The hot cut and 1/2" slitter are W1. The punches are mild steel. This is my first try at forging this type of tools. Used the slitter and square punch on some scrap pieces. Ended up making a cross from my first square punched hole. Punched a second hole in some wrought iron for a base. Thanks for looking, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc_cooter Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 Thanks. Pug the punches were not hardened. I just keep them cooled down in the quench tank. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOblacksmith0530 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Hey nice job. The square hole looks square to the bar too. Nice look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
