August 16, 201312 yr It is forged out of spring steel,no power tools used in the forging process.I started on a round bar,forged on an octogonal shape then i used the slit and drift method for the handle socket and after that I drawn out the chisel point.
August 16, 201312 yr Nice story line on how to make a hot cut. Very nice work on the forging. :rolleyes:
August 17, 201312 yr Wonderful! I love the photo stream showing the steps. I'm going to try that with some mystery metal I have in the corner.
August 18, 201312 yr What size was the starting stock, and how wide is the hole? Show us what it looks like with a handle!
August 19, 201312 yr Very nice! I need to make one of those. I, too, really appreciate the step by step pictures. Thanks for putting in the effort.
