Here in the UK you can find chisels like this fairly easy.....granted the key word here is "like" as they're more of a goose necked pairing chisel and even as a trained joiner I still don't actually know what they're made for but they look really nice
Nice job with the explanations. That is sort of like a timber slick but smaller and beveled bottom. I'll need to make one for the wood scabbards I make for parangs. Thank you!
I always want to have the chisel for creating scabbard, but I cannot find it in the market. I hope I will create it by myself somedays!! Thank you! from Japan.
I've been wanting to make a few of these for a while now. Good to see you finally moved away from using that engineer's hammer, Walter! I'm sure your wrist and elbow are thanking you! lol 😄
@lichencache Walter complained years ago that his habit of using a 10 lb engineer's hammer was wearing him out, but he couldn't seem to get used to a different weight or style at the time. This was back when his focus was mostly on Japanese style blades, and he hadn't gotten into machining yet. So, it was quite a while ago. I've modified smaller engineer patterned hammers before, but 10 lbs is just too damned heavy to swing all day long. My heaviest cross pein is only 4 lbs, and I only use that for drawing out material. Shaping and finish forging I usually do with a 3 lb with a slightly rounded face and a little 18oz flat faced hammer. Everyone has their own preferences, of course, but I hate to think how my shoulder, elbow, and wrist would feel if all I ever used was a 10 lb engineer's hammer or a mini-sledge. Ouch!
I wonder could you have the oil and water in the same container since they should separate. That way you could put it in the water and then submerge it deeper into the oil.
Unfortunately physics has a few issues with this idea. Oil is less dense than water so the oil will float on top. You'll also generate a lot of steam when you hit the water which will bubble up through the oil causing the oil and water to mix. Finally, you may have noticed that sometimes when oil quenching, the oil will catch fire. What is one thing that you do not want to add to an oil fire? Water! It would make for an interesting day in the shop though. :)
May I recommend experimenting with different fonts for your engraving work? You make some real lovely stuff, but I can't help but feel like an overly common font does a disservice to the custom quality of the product. Cheers.
Is a yaki-eri to obtain a hamon ever used on a wakizashi blade ?! And sense I'm here and watching this one would they have used and entire peace of carbon steal or would they have forged an iron peace with carbon steel cutting tip ?
@walter: I know you have plans for the fuller scraper tool available online (I forget the name of it) but is there any chance you’ll ever have a few of those for sale?
Walter, I am interested in a chisel. I sent you an email through the website linked in the description. I could not see any info on the website for anything but sending you an email. It's possible your site in not playing well with Safari; I've run into that issue before. Thanks. EDIT: Yes, the issue is with Safari and your website. I looked at your site with Chrome and it works fine.
Pretty slick tool there!
Always end up finding you in the other knifemaking comment sections lol
All Right! A slightly wider version would be usable!
That actually looks really useful

I think it has been almost 3 to 4 years since I last watched one of your videos. Your shop changed a lot. Great video. Looks like an amazing tool.
Very cool DIY

Awesome. Just bought one. I've been wanting one forever and finding them hasn't been that easy.
Walter if you are going to sell some handles/tools with handles, get you some drills designed for endgrain, save you heaps of time drilling.

Thank you! That’s the good idea!!😊
Nice work on this. Big👍
Not a bad price at all!

Why would an engineers hammer be problematic? They're not a rare hammer in forging.

Would the dbl quench work with the w2 steels you talk about in recommended knife steel? Love your videos thank you.

What do you use to sharpen your wood turning tools?

I ran into websites being difficult with safari. I switched to Brave and the issues seem to be no longer happening.
Why would you bother forging in the bevel on a production chisel?
@@UserAccountID it’s a chisel. It only needs a couple wacks
