- In this video, we touch on the question, "can you forge rebar into tools?" I work at forging rebar tools and make suggestions for rebar forging projects. I've heard some people like forging rebar tongs.
COMMENT: Have you been forging rebar tools? Have you tried forging rebar tongs? Or perhaps making tools from rebar of another type?

I tell you man I'm a trucker but I'm gonna live on the bare essentials for the next two years to raise plenty of capital to start smithing. Every time I think of it and watch these videos its like a fire burns bright in my heart! Ever since I was a youngin I've wanted to work metal and wood and your videos rekindles that child like desire! Much love man and keep this awesome content comin!
You go you magnificent beast
That’s awesome, you go man!
you really don't need massive amounts of cash to start out
me & a friend started during college for about 100€ each
any flat topped block of steel will work as an anvil, there's tons of cheap forge ideas out there
How's it coming man?
I'm starting myself with a Terra Cotta pot for a tuyuer in a car litter box as I have no access to dirt on a tie plate with harbor freight hammers and whatever pliers I got.
Two years later whats the progress my man?
I love the old style coal forge that's a sign of a true blacksmith
I was awestruck that you have a friend like Bob who unselfishly gave you a piece of rebar that was given to him! I wish I had a friend like Bob
A Cape Chisel series would be appreciated.
As an actual toolmaker used to a2 s6 cpm10v etc., I am impressed.
Interesting. I have some super thick rebar that I may try this with, perhaps a curved cutting chisel.
I've made some punches and chisels from rebar that ended being really great tools.
I do appreciate this video. I have done some kinds of blacksmith work in my shop behind the house for years now as I am retired. Videos such as this one does help me learn valuable lessons that I do not have to learn with hard knocks. Thanks!
Good presentations of Harding steel.
As a knife maker love all the video you do about forging, want to get into forging more seriously by building my coal forge for heat treating bigger pieces.Keep them coming very informative.
In my first year of forging, everything was made of rebar. Mostly hooks
insperatus Story of my life dude.
I've made a few light use knifes and a pair of tongs from rebar but I'm just getting into blacksmithing and dont have much free time to work
I’ve made almost everything from rebar lol.
@@robertevans4795 Though I have access to spring steel from old beetles and I just began blacksmithing small knives I also have made tongs from mild steel. I found a stock of rebar on a parking lot and made a hook as well. You change your vision when you start smithing... Any piece of metal you see laying in the ground you immediately think about forging it
I like rebar for my weapons because of how cheap it is and rebar is pretty strong as a metal stick so why not put a point on it? rebar spear. maybe throw some sharp rebar at stuff? rebar throwing Axe. maybe stab something with a sharp metal stick? rebar knife
What I like, is that you do what other people says you can't. Good job.
I have a couple of forge blowers...but, the way that one coasts is very good
I love watching the tool making vids since I am still gearing up in my shop.
Yes make every tool you can plz.. Praise the LORD.
Cape chisel away Roy, I'm watching.
Any video that you make is worth the watch. There is always plenty of room to learn.
This is encouraging! Thanks for making the video and showing this is possible.
Oh, I forgot, I’m impressed by the chisel and the results you achieved. I will be looking forward to more to come.
I'm glad you did this because it's been a question I've been wondering myself.
Thanks this was great I had no idea rebar would harden that well. Very informative to the beginner smith. I real enjoy your videos !!!!!
we want a chisel series
I made my 1st pair of tongs out of 1/2 " rebar, world's ugliest tool but they are working in spite of my beginner forging. Yay !
I had no idea rebar comes in so many different types of metals. Very good information I can use.
I’m very interested in metal working. I started in a sawmill,then a mill shop, then 30 years glazing. Actually I want to build a foundry to pour metal castings. I appreciate your time in explaining my latest passion!
DIY SODUM SILICATE ... might get yer G.O.A.T.project going.
It sure got my brain fired up.
Seems a great refractory media,.. mix, build a sandcastle,... fire it to harden...
add dolomite, fireclay, rockdust, ++.
I used to watch my Dad force and this was interesting to me. I have seen 2 of your videos, I will be watching more. Thank You
Thank you. This answered some big questions for me. Now, to find out what quality of rebar I've collected up. I'd watch more vids along these lines.
It was very nice to find out about some rebar and coil springs for use
Really great video, I have a bit of rebar laying around and for today's project , I am going to do as you did and lay out a chisel
As you did ! Step per step !
Thanks again !

Awesome! I love forging rebar!
Great to know about the rebar thanks for testing it out for us.
Even though i had the sound off because my parents were watching tv, i still thought it was good. +1 subscriber
I just bought my first forge and thought making my own tools would be a good way to start learning, gain some experience and save some money, so thanks for this video and your others about making tools! My first thought was to get some rebar to experiment on.
I will have to be keeping an eye out for this kind of rebar at the job site. Thanks for sharing
Good to know. Thanks for your channel.
Just getting started
Great video Roy. When I get back to the forge I’ll check into rebar more closely.
DoubleAction BonusPack !!
TOOL BUILD ... AND RESOURCE LOCATOR VLOG !!
Thank you I found the video very helpful and in formative
I found this helpful. I have been considering doing some metal work myself and this information will help me out a lot. Thanks!
The more I watch your videos the more I want to give it a go. After learning welding in college, I got very interested in the possibility of making more money at it. And then seeing some forge welding made it even more interesting.
There are at least 4 grades of rebar used in the US. 40, 60, 80, 100 - Each number standing the yield strength in 1000's of psi (so grade 40 will yield at 40,000 psi). I believe 2 dots is one particular manufacturer's way of designating Grade 60 bar.
Very good thanks
I would love to see a sires on cape chisels. And vedios on rebar also. Thank You Roy God Bless!!
good vidio information. you taught me a few things about rebar I did not know. I will be making a few punches and chisels
Very Interesting Roy. Could you please show the dots you spoke of?? Thanks
Great job ! I didn't know about those types of chisel to work on steel !
Great job very informative keep up the good work!
Nice to see this video. I was always under the impression that there were different types of rebar. Too many videos lump them all together. Again, knowledge is the muse of innovation. Love your videos.
Surprised me how good it worked! Nice video
Heck yeah! Sounds like a great video!
Never thought rebar was that good. I’m going to have a go at making some tools. Thanks. Nice video mate 👍👍👍
FYI, in Brazil and Indonesia, the masons almost exclusively use rebar for their stone chisels. I have made a few things out of rebar and consider the greatest drawback to be the deformations. If you want a smooth product, it's really tough to pound them away.
Great video !
God bless you too.
Thanks
Yes, I would like to see a video on forging a Cape chisel.
That chisel looks sweet! It even has a non slip handle grip 👍👍👍👍👍
I would definitely enjoy a Cape chisel forging demo.
Yes interesting planning on starting hobby blacksmithing in 2019
loved your video on making tools from rebar I'm defiantly subscribing and watching more
Glad to have you on the channel :)
Pure awesome! God bless and aloha
The two dots means that they either double or triple stranded the bar during manufacture. It means that it's the second strand and is used to measure the bar and know which one it is in case they have to adjust the rolling mill. The dimensions are monitored closely for roundness, depth of deformations etc. If it doesn't have a line running the side it's 50 or a lesser grade. A line running down the side means it's a 60 grade rebar. Different results in trying to make tools from rebar is due to the ignorance of the individual. One or two lines running down the side is the best. The stuff from Lowe's or a like market is usually secondary or scrap and is good for sidewalks or driveways, survey stakes and the like.

Good info 👍
Thanks a ton that answered everything for me , i work commercial construction (glazier) and find rebar with lines on both sides thrown away ad scrapes lucky i saved them just been trying to figure out grade
I use rebar and old bolts for making socket arrow heads like the bodkins and hunting points
I need to learn more about grading metals! I sure could use a tool like that!
Yes a cape chisel video would be great. As you, I have heard rebar is made from an amalgamation of junk steel.
I'm really interested on how your forge is made. Probably trade secrets lol you rock great vids.
It's just a flat peice of like 30x30 with a hole in it with a hand air pump or electric one simple simple
I was wondering if you made a propane forge would a washing machine drum be a good idea to use
@@bryanduke1973 too big, you would want something smaller, an old propane tank, air compressor cylinder, something that size.
or you could just use fire bricks and angle iron either welded or bolted to keep them nice and tight.
heck yeah ,tool making videos!!! It's like coffee on hammers.
I think you done a great job
Would like to see a series on Cape chisels. Looks like a pretty slick tool.
I liked the vid. i would like to see one that discussed the grading of rebar. i've used grade 60 in some cases where a higher grade or strength was specified for the job and yes it is harder than regular grade rebar. this stuff you used is impressive and if it's available it maybe much cheaper than stock 1084.
Love your channel man! I work as a garage door tech so I have access to jobsite dumpsters and plenty of rebar. Can you do a video on the hardening process for diferent tools? And maybe the quenching diferences for tongs and chisles or punches. I plan on making a forge and making my own tools and tongs from what you have shown on your videos. Thanx for the content man!!
Yes I liked it and very helpful great job buddy. Be blessed
Id love to see u forge a cape chisel including the hardening /finish
I just find this video, I'm starting to forge, and since the lockdown started I could not buy any steel, I found a similar piece of rebar at home and I'm triting to forge a pair of tongs, I found it really hard to forge and I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. So glad to know that this is a strong steel to forge, I'll keep hammering it
Thaks for the info
I find that most rebar, will hold an edge well enough for a general use knife. It's also great for practice as you can get it pretty much anywhere. I also feel like most people who deride rebar are the same sort of person who will spend hundreds of dollars on a knife that they're only gonna use once, maybe twice a year
Heck yeah and how to Video is going to help us newbies get to the level of Roy. I have a bunch of rebar that I can forge.
Thanks for the video. Have some interest in this subject. Just subscribed to your channel you seem very knowledgeable.
Cleaning up my homestead the tractor blade pulled about 60 feet of 3/4 rebar. Wasn't sure what I was gonna use it for. Cool
Dude I would love to see it!!! I need to do more then fish when its winter here I'm not fishing as much as! but the other the other 10 months I'm not am fishing. And I'm so happy I found you and other channels YOU and Ralphie is a good guy. And so sorry for dropping names dude I'm looing forward to going through your videos thank you for giving me some new in my boring life loll. And trust me if didn't do fishing and make fishing videos I DON'T NO I WOULD BE THE JOKER LOLLL. But serious thank you for us your knowledge sir.
I would like to see videos on chisels and more just getting started into smithing
Yes I would like to see a whole of yours on anything buddy
Very grate
While in the Philippines, my brother-in-law's hacksaw was made from single bent piece of rebar.
Yes we want to see the how to videos of Chile making. Yessss.
Had heard structural rebar was good for forging. Now you can make a nice knife.
Ouch ouwee....that stare you just gave me...burns like a laser beam! Lol lol lol
Thanks for the video didn't think about using rebat for tools didn't figure it would be good enough of steel to use for that
awsome video seems to have worked
First watch one of your video very empressive cant wait to see more
My question about rebar is answered. I will be collecting rebar now.
I thought this was an April fool's joke at first, then you said something about dots on the rebar signifying the steel type, then I knew it was a joke. After watching to the end, I'm in shock that you were serious and that it worked. I'm trying it.
Nice video
Yes that would be good to see. Video on chisels, do you already have other videos on other tools?
I have some rebar that says s60 on it. We heated to critical and did a snap test. Suuuuuper fine grain structure.
how bout dat! thought for sure it was going to be mediocre at best but nope that chisel cut like a Boss
The size of that anvil
Looks like a heavy Kanka.
Sounds like anvil envy ; )
infraprods no sense in hiding it! We all have it :)
oh we might have spare rebar from pouring cement for a shop foundation soon, I might just be able to do this and take note of how this is made. as I said been at you for months to make a cold chisel of sorts, taking notes
good video bud! Neat tool as well. In the blade smith world (i know its not something you like to do) i have always known 1084 / 1095 to be oil quenched. Specifically canola oil or a specific oil quench formula from the bladesmith shops.
yes on cape chisel video series.
tnx vro
I made my first pair of tongs out of rebar they were great but many better alternatives but for a begginer I love them
Eventually I'd really like to get into learning more about forgng
LOVE YOUR VIDS! I forged a center punch from rebar. It holds its point even on un-annealed leaf spring. I have found that rebar made in Mexico tends to work better for tools than the stuff from China. After elections I harvest it for free on street corners and along fields and vacant lots.😉
