I Make Chisels out of Old Drills with Epoxy Handles
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 жов 2023
- A few weeks ago, I realized that I had a lot of old wood drills that were no longer useful. No problem, I thought, a great idea for a new video. I decided to turn these drills into new chisels for my workshop.
At the same time, I will try to make handles from wood and epoxy. Watch the video to see what happened.
If you have any questions, write in the comments.
Enjoy the video! - Наука та технологія

I am so glad you documented the time you still had all your fingers! You have beautiful hands, protect them!
Wow its a miracle that you got all your fingers. As for the work- WOW!
Great work. I had to fast forward the parts where you used the table saw. Please use a push stick etc. Wood can easily catch and it’ll pull your fingers into the blade - and then they’re gone.
I promise I won't do it again.
Thank you 😊
This was exactly my thought. I've watched so many woodworking YT videos and I have never had a wincing reaction like I had when I saw the grab between the blade and the fence. The engineer over safety in me felt like I was in trouble for letting it happen! But I still have to say, your work is beautiful and your attention to detail shows your love for the craft. I'm glad I stumbled across your content! I just hope your future videos continue to show all ten fingers ;)
Me to!!@@pretengineer
Fantastic. You gave me a very good idea. Thank you.
Great work! Word of advice, use a push stick with a notch in it to push the wood through when it is so close to the table saw blade! Your hands are very talented and I dread thinking of something slipping on you and you loose a finger or two! Great ideas and craftsmanship! Please be safe!
Thank you for your praise. I promise I won't do it again, it's really very dangerous. Good luck to you.
I echo rickschneider3887. Safety first bro!!😊

YOU GOTTA BE PROFESSIONAL
AND NO PUSH STICK
WAS SLOPPY AF
@@420WEED69did you have to be so harsh? Let those without sin cast the first stone. Be kind dude.
@witness4Him look at his name ends in 420 so he was sloppy and unprofessional with his comments. Bless his lil stoner heart
For gods sake man, use a push stick on that saw.
Very nicely done. No point wasting good steel. And the fact they have the size still left on. Very handy. And the handles you made are beautiful as well. 👍🇮🇪
In one word “ AWSOME “
Amazing very nice good work Have a great video
Thank you my friend 😀
Nice result - tablesaw madness!
I’m really impressed. Thank you for making this video. Very inspiring.
Thank you my friend 👍🤝
wonderful work
I have been scrolling past this for a few days now , but so glad I watched today . Amazing work and a beautiful outcome.😎👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Bravo 👏 Beautiful work!
Very good skills
Thanks for sharing, great idea
Lot's of great ideas in making the chisels. Now I'll be looking out for the older drill bits with the best steel.
Great idea definitely!!! Another great idea is changing methods on the table saw. I agree with others here but my missing 4 fingers made me comment. Nice chisels 👍
Just Beautiful and resourceful! Again, just Beautiful!
Great ideas and craftsmanship
Great repurposing and workmanship!
Adding another 👍 to the thousands already received.
Stay safe, Joe Z
Fantastic piece of craftsmanship and ingenuity to boot, nicely done, thanks for the video.
Thank you 😊
That’s such a great idea. Awesome thank you!
A great idea that I will have to try. Thanks!
Молодець справжній майстер ❤
You can still count to 10 in this video, I hope it won't be 8.5 in the next one. Great idea and beautiful end result.
Excellent video.
Loved your beveling jig!
Very creative and the result is beautiful tools. I would have loved to see you carve some wood with them at the end. When you were pouring the epoxy I thought "Ahh, he is going to put them on a lathe." You knocked my sox off when you rounded them off in your hand with a drill and sand paper and it worked! Thanks for the video, I liked it.
Thanks for giving me something else to add to my to do list. Very cool idea. I use paddle bits a lot and never thought of this.
👍🤝
Fantastic work, but please use a push stick when using a table saw.
Thank you. Okay 👌 🫢
Nice........Kudos!............Z
My guy just reinvented wood turning 😂 lovely end product 👌🏼
Beautiful. You have done a great work👏👏
Estoy de acuerdo con la apreciación de los demas compañeros. Con lo que no los acompaño es que ninguno te dijo de lo expuestos que estuvieron tu dedos de perderse por tu imprudencia. Produciste unas excelentes herramientas ☺️
😉🫢😊
Absoluta imprudencia.
No seas gracioso. Hacer un video donde se utiliza imprudentemente la Sierra de mesa te puede costar los dedos. Muy mal video.
@@gustavopazoscanlla7090 got a friend that does the same thing and he is already missing parts of 3 finger's I don't let him use my table saw unless he uses a push stick I always tell him I sure do miss hearing you play the guitar
Loved your woodturning on a budget! even i could do that ! wow they turned out great and the handles are just beautiful.
Неперевершено!!!🎉🎉🎉
This really does look like a good idea. To make them last longer, he should've swapped the bevel, putting the cutting edge on the flat side instead of the stamped side. Other than that, well executed.
They're ok for light duty. But NEVER saw wood like this guy did.
They look great 👍🏻
I hope you annealed them after quenching. They would be super brittle otherwise. They look really nice. Cool idea.
So, of course, I let the metal go. An hour at 180 degrees Celsius
Temper, not anneal.
Annealing them would make them as soft as mild steel.
Thts gangster! Well done sir
Very interesting. I have to agree with the comments about push sticks though. Had the end of my thumb sewed back on after an encounter with a table saw. Not that much fun. Otherwise, keep up the good ideas.
Que buen trabajo!!!.
Me gusta tu cuidado de los detalles en el afilado. Aprendí algo nuevo. Gracias
Ok, kudos to your patience and resourcefulness for creating these chisels, but there are a few things I'd like to point out.
First and foremost, keep your hands away from the table saw. That is, if still you want to keep using your fingers.
Second, in order to have a quality chisel, the rod must go all the way to the top of the handle, otherwise either the handle will break, or the hole that keeps the rod inside the chisel will widen with the hammer strikes and the chisel itself will be dismantled from the handle, possibly causing an accident in the meantime. Furthermore, it is a good idea to use a metal plate on the top of the handle that will be connected to the rod, in order to create a metallic area for the hammer to hit, and also use a metallic ring that will surround the area of impact, strengthen it even more.
Third, you never use impact on the edge of sharp tools and upon the flat surface of ball bearings. You should have steadied the rod on the vice, and hit the handle instead, in order to press the rod inside it.
All in all, it was a really nice try, and the oil dip was the correct approach.
And to catch ahead on the guys that will provoke me to show my own video on making chisels, I proudly state that I'm completely useless when it comes to handcrafting, I just own a 60 years old wholesales warehouse, so I do have experience on how a quality tool should be made, used and treated.
Cheers.
Thank you for your comment and constructive criticism. I have learned my lesson about safety when working with a saw and will not take such risks again. It is indeed very dangerous. I completely agree with your comments and will definitely take them into account in my next projects. I wish you all the best.
@@makeitlikenew All the best to you too my friend. Stay safe and creative!
Great idea and a lovely job.
Thank you my friend
Хорошая работа. Мастеру-уважение! ЛАЙК.
Not only is this video littered with unsafe practices (with the circular saw misuse at 08:27 probably being the most dangerous example), but by grinding the "chisels" with the engraved numbers on their _underside_ the maker has guaranteed that they will be unusable as soon as the edge comes back that far.
I realized that this is not the way to do it, and next time I will use a pusher
@@makeitlikenew Thank you. Really, you should enrol on a safety course. One day of proper instruction that could save you from serious injury.
I'm concerned that this guy will lose his fingers to a saw. The reworked bits are probably ok for light duty or carving, but they would never withstand serious use.
A beautiful way to recycle those spade bits.
Просто досконало, як завжди !
Good to see you hardening and tempering them. My only reservation with making chisels out of spade bits is the fact that the quality of steel is generally very low. There's probably not much carbon in the alloy. That's why I modify mine to get different diameter holes and different shapes etc - because they are very easy to file. I'd be very interested to see how long the keen-ness of the edges lasts. I have to say I don't think it would be very long. They would probably dull after about 5 minutes use. Nice polishing job though! And as a professional (cabinet maker and luthier) I shudder at you pushing those little blocks through the saw holding them down with your fingers. One little slip..... (Pleeeeeeeease) just make a couple of push sticks and use those instead. Push the end with one and hold the side of the block with the other. If you slip with those it's just a bit of wood damaged. Only other thing is, you use the back of the chisel as a registering surface. So you rest it on a flat stone, and hone the whole surface. You put a honing edge on both the ground edge (correct) and on the back. Honing the cutting edge on the back is a classic mistake made by rookies. Yes it may be sharp, but you have to hold the chisel at an angle to get it to cut. Most of the time you need the back of the chisel to lay flat on the surface of the wood, so you can pair with it. You can't do that if you have honed (and polished) the back face too. If you do some serious woodwork I think you'll soon find the limitations of these, in design and construction. 10/10 for effort though!
You beat me to mentioning his risky saw table practice. indeed, not good example, at all.
Spade bits, generally aren't made with super high carbon content steels, but it is by no means bad.
The cheaper ones will be made with something like a 0.5-7% carbon content steel, which is plenty good for a chisel.
The more expensive ones will have something like S2 which is a tough steel (doesn't break easily at higher hardness.)
The reason why a file eats them so easily is because they are tempered back more.
Twist drills and the sort can be left harder, because they have relatively low shear forces, but a spade bit, imagine if that was as hard as a chisel or knife, it would just break/snap at cutting portion.
So it's as hard as it needs to be for the purpose, not that the steel is bad.
Once appropriately hardened for the task, it will be pretty good, and last a good while too.
@@autumn5592 So what was the carbon content of the steel in those specific spade bits in the video then? Got figures from any manufacturers, or are the figures you quote just what you 'presume'? Good quality chisels are made from good quality steels, for example Narex chisels which use a cryogenically treated HIGH CARBON chrome manganese steel. Hardened to about 59 HRC. Other chisel manufacturers employ similar alloys for their chisels. I very much doubt that that is the type of steel employed in cheap-as-chips spade bits. Why would Narex go to the lengths of using this specification of alloy, when spade-bit steel is "plenty good enough for a chisel". I can tell you don't use chisels on a daily basis like I do.
Absolutely genius ! it's great when making something and the finish product in the sense of achievement 100% top marks.
Amazing.....that you still have your fingers !
Very nice. It would be neat to use clear epoxy in order to see the texture of the wood within.
It would be nice, maybe next time I'll do this👍🤝
Отличная работа👍По меня так можно из стамесок изготовить прекрасные резцы по дереву, перековав режущую кромку в небольшую дугу.
For some strange reason, I perceive that those spade bits could be sharpened with a file and reused.
They can be sharpened. But if you have a ton and want a project, why not do something like this?
spade bits are very cheap but good steel. decent chisels are expensive. You can go to a pawn shop and load up with 5 bucks, and in your free time instead of wasting time with mindless entertainment, you can make something that will look amazing and be more useful than any chisel available in Home Depot.
Hello my Lovely
Very Good Very Nice your Working and your Channel Thanks so much my Lovely Goodbye next time 🌹❤️
Thank you my lovely 😊
Those are beautiful!!! I want to make some now!! I am going to keep my eyes peeled at thrift stores for what look like junky paddle bits! Great idea and thank you for sharing this cool video!!
Thank you for your wonderful comment. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I wish you all the best for the future.
Nicely done
very cool🔥
Great and wonderful craftsmanship. Very unique., And very creative. But, for the uninitiated, when, using a tablesaw protect those creative and talented fingers by using a push stick!
Beautiful !
cool! more cool!and hyper cool!
Thank you. You are cool 😎
A great repurpose of old tools! Unorthodox and possibly a bit dangerous at some points but nicely done!
Thank you 😊
fantastic idea fantastic work,,cheers
Thank you so much! Congratulations!
Thank you sir🤝
just beautiful pieces , Great work on them was a great video I really enjoyed it!
very creative thinking..!!!
Buen vídeo para aprovechar la herramienta en otras funciones. Te quedo muy bien. Te felicito 🙂
Trabaje con uyudante porfa
Super to wygląda. Mam pytanie, jaki to gatunek drzewa
Just something to think about. As u sharpen it eventually that engraved number will mess with carving edge. If u were to sharpen it the opposite way leaving the number up. It wud never affect ur edge.
yup, looks like theay are made just for the youtube, not for anything real, also sharpening with buffing off edges says a lot..
Great idea 💡 👍
Brilliant 👏 👏 👏
Супер коли можна олівці підстругати
Nice 👌 and tidy
Great job Sir…. Now make a “Push Stick”
Beautiful
This guy's awesome!
that is very very smart
Great job 😊
🤝👍😊
Удивительно, с таким подходом и пальцы на месте))!
Frikkin great idea!!!
Thank you 😊
Craftmanship❤but pls safety first with that circular saw😮
🤝😉
Different mood i like it❤
Great! Now, time to pair down this oversized tenon...
wow! great skills.........
This is a great idea for people whos time is only worth about 5 bucks an hour
Very good.
Nice.
this is so cool, u are an artist and a real craftman... (if you love your fingers, please use tools in the saw, u gonna loose one finger some day, bin there, done that)
I sharpen my spade bits with a small flat diamond file from Harbor Freight. But if you don't need the bits and have a need for chisels that's a different story.
Awesome work 😊😊👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
Thank you 😊
really nice
- Work safety?
- Phuk it!
P.S. Anyways idea of reusing old drill bits ia a nice one, thank you!
great job
These drills can easy be rescharpend, even with a file.
Stunning. I have several knackered drill bits and not enough chisels. Watch this space 😀
temi tanto x tus dedos...😢...tu trabajo d reutilizado d esas herramientas es espectacular el resultado..💪👍🤗
I won't do it again, I promise. Thank you for your comment.
Хорошая работа.
Nice job. I woud use crystall clear epoxy, so you can see the steel between the wooden parts. But a question: Do you don't like your fingers? You are to close to the saw blade. If the wood kicks back, your fingers will be in the blade faster than you can realize what happend. I could imagine it will ruin your day. Next time yous a push stick.
Очень красиво! Для ручки можно использовать патрон для дрели - получится набор сменных стамесок. 😊
Гарна ідея!
You can sharpen drill bits like these with a file. Cool chisels, though.
