  • Tips and tricks for hardening and tempering a chisel! Although I show the hardening and tempering process for a hot cut chisel, the same process could be used for tempering most hand tools made of either water or oil hardening material. The video is a thorough walk through on how to prepare the metal, harden the tool by quenching in oil, and tempering the tool.

    The best video about hardening and tempering yet, I could see the colors very well. Very well explained with no fluff and I’ve seen a few videos but this one is the best and the assistant did a great job too. Thank you very much.

    Thank you for the simple and we'll explained process. I am 60 years old and just getting started in Blacksmithing. I will be using a coal forge like you when I get things set up. Thanks again.

  • @parthasarathikarthigayan8367

    Though India had the oldest foundry and good blacksmiths even today, their art is not to be seen in towns now-a-days. I have enjoyed your blacksmith's techniques. The pains you are taking to define how the fire heats up slowly the iron is quite appreciable. The technique you impart like which part of the chisel to be treated first and how that has to be achieved is great. Thanks for your educative spirit to propagate the ancient art that man had ever blessed the world with. Carry on!

    A really excellent demonstration of the annealing process. Your approach was better illustrated (thanks Jessica) than what it was in my blacksmithing class. In my mind the process was a bit vague but I've got it now. Kudos, Roy!

    Thank you. I do a lot of hand tool woodworking out here in West Africa where we still plow with hand forged plows behind a couple of cows. I was digging up a garden bed yesterday with my hand forged daba (short-handled hoe). May we live above reproach. Though our neighbors may accuse us, they will see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Let us live simple lives and work with our hands. Great video. I agree with all the previous comments about how useful and well presented it was.

It is a project, but I am about to do anyways,..)

    Very good video explaining and demonstrating the heat treating process. Your video quality really was excellent at showing sequence of events and the color transition on tempering. As you mentioned in the video, you probably lose the tempering when using a hot cut, but that is not a very important issue. Keep up the good video work; much better than lots out there on the tube.

    Great video. Funny you mention hardening with a rosebud torch tip. Since I've hardened cheap cold chisels in that manner before building my forge. If they sprayed some nice sparks on the fine side of the bench grinder, I'd harden them. I also concur with others..don't change your teaching style. You're gifted at teaching for sure.

    I just got done hammering out two tools to mount a tractor tire on the rim. They didn't bend or break, but I did pretty much everything wrong except for Bringing the heat up slowly. I'm pretty sure I quenched at way too high temperature. Now that I have a forge, I want to keep adding tools and eventually make blades. Great tutorial on how to make a Safe and hard chisel. Thank You.

  • @tdcmachine
    @tdcmachine Před rokem +1

    I have tempered small items in a standard kitchen oven. Set temp according to steel type and hardness required, place tool in oven and let set for an hour or so depending on the thickness of the part. You cannot over temper with longer temper times, it could stay in the oven all day with no ill effects, quench or not when removed. A bronze temper color equals 375 to 425F.

    You could heat your quench oil up and boil off the water as it will vaporize long before the oil gets to boiling, nice and slow. Most steel needs about 75 degrees past non-magnetic, tool steel does behave differently. Nice tutorial, well explained.
