Right on man, I'm going to go try these as soon as I get a chance... thank you for the information I really appreciate it!!!
God Bless✝️
Yeah anytime! I enjoy making these videos because I know they can help people get started!
i’m in the process of making my new working space and these are definitely tools i’ll try to make next time i get my forge running!
Great video. Definitely overkill on the quench and temper for rebar though. But a smart little video for beginners looking at taking the plunge into making their own tools. Good job.
Cool video, thank you.
Really like this channel! New sub.
Thanks for the vid. I am setting up a shop, and need a few tools. So a chisel will come in handy , and i have a small piece of rebar left. I made some tongs from rebar that has been working pretty decent. :) Happy Holidays.
Thanks
Thanks for the info dude. Just about to start blacksmithing; built the forge and cleaned up my anvil. Looking for a bunch of beginner projects to start practicing, figured making tools I'll need later is the way to go. This video was quick, yet informative and looks super easy to do. Thanks again!
Nicely made video 👍
I made those same modifications to my belt sander. Love that thing. Excellent video. Great stuff to know
Thanks! Yeah this mods make that sander 10x more functional!
Awesome video
Very nice job. Hopefully you get great use out of them for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Can't Forge On. God bless.
Thanks, I will be sure to use them.
As an aspiring beginner blacksmith I Thank you, this was very helpful.
I’m so glad it helps! I relied (and still rely) on videos a lot when I was learning, which is one of the reasons I started making videos myself!
Great info thanks
Anytime
Well im now subbed, i expect spectacular things in your future
I’ll do my best!

thenks , bon courage
Thanks!
It didn't take you long to pass me in Subscribers, keep it up you're well on your way
Thanks! Your support is much appreciated!
This is something I made for myself and it seems to work pretty well. For drifting holes if you can find a piece of 1/4" x 1" or wider material you can drill various size holes in it to use as a support so the material doesn't fold up on you when drifting holes. Start by drilling a 1/4" hole and go up by 1/16" for each hole spaced about 1" apart up to what ever size drill bit you have. Place it over the hardy hole and away you go. Makes for a nice little drifting block.
I’ve actually never thought of that, but it seems so simple in retrospect haha. Thanks for the advice, I’ll be sure to use it!
@@ToddKoch It's even better if you can get thicker material however for starting out 1/4" thick material is usually available at hardware stores, home centers, etc.
Good to know! Thanks!
Hello! I have two tips for you.
Tip no. 1: When your steel is hot, don't talk, because by the time you get to forging, your material will be cold.
Tip no. 2: You can do the hardening and tempering from a hot one. You simply draw as much as you actually want to temper, and the heat will migrate from the part of the material that is still warm to the segment of material you are tempering.
👍👍👍
My biggest complaint about this video is not seeing it sooner
Hahaha! Well I’ve definitely heard worse complaints! Glad to have you!
I know I’m a year late but I’m 17 and I’m wanting to start forging and was wondering if you need a license for this
No
Maybe if your in the UK XD
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇵🇭
Thanks!!
Rebar has less then 0,4 % carbon. With this less amount of carbon it´s impossible too harden it.
Good tutorial, but on my opinion: wrong material. Get some 1045. It isn´t too expensive, but your tools will last a lot longer.
Fishmouthing comes from not enough power or too cold material. You are moving only the upper layer of iron, not the whole material. You have to get it hotter or hit it harder.
Maybe don't make an instructional video when you clearly know nothing about the subject matter - i.e. "tempering rebar".
