Homemade Carving Gouges - Made from a Hacksaw Blade

I recently gave block printing a go and found that I needed a small gouge. The carving chisels I already own don't include a small enough gouge - a 4mm was the smallest. So I decided to give making my own a go. They turned out a bit rustic looking but they work very well indeed and they are definitely worth making.
I didn't do a great job of tempering the blades as I took them a little too far - stopping at straw is where I should've been but ended up at purple/blue. Tempering in the oven would've been a much better option for these small blades. I'm sure they will still be fine though, I've already used them a fair bit and they're holding an edge nicely.
I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.

No doubt, one of the most resilient UA-camrs. I enjoy your videos very relaxing and fun to watch, never boring. Thank you.
I am impressed. Not only with your metal and wood working skill but video making as well. Thank you.
Brilliant idea ,necessity the mother of invention lol. Greetings from Wales UK.
Those were some very sweet carving "curls" from each chisel.
I like how you showed each step of preparing the metal (annealing, hardening, tempering). Many wouldn't know that you need to do all that.
Thanks Damo! :)
Now I know why I did not throw away my old hack saw blades.
Thanks for sharing. I'll give it a try some day.
Now I go to sleep. It is 2 a.m. I subscribed to your channel about 1 hour ago and I'm already addicted to it.
I like the way you attached the blades to the handles, it solves a very common problem with homemade tools.

Stunning! Love watching your videos to see your skills and creativity!
Thank you very much! :)
A mo keith
Wow, thank goodness I found this. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to afford some of the other tools I need, beyond the three gouges and a decent knife I bought for way too much money. Trying to shape some really weird things, like rubber tyres, nothing I have onhand will do the trick. Now I'm really glad I've kept some of the scrapped saw-blades from old projects!
Thank you for showing how simple this is, now I'm not intimidated to try it!
That is amazing..excellent idea and .those shavings at the end, Oh my!
Thank you - glad you like those Cris! :)
I stubble on the UA-cam site, and thought "this is a real craftsmen". So I subscribed. Keep up the great work!!
Well done, mate! It's a real joy watching you make stuff!
why people dislike videos that they can just not watch is beyond me, it should be changed to liked or not interested, love watching people create, keep up the great work
Very impressive, I can tell I have already spent to much on carving chisels. Thanks for sharing.
It's amazing what you can do when you don't know you can't do it. Keep being awesome!
I’m impressed they look and work much better than i thought they would !
Bravo sir!! Quiet easy to watch your craftsmanship is superb! Wish I had you're same knowledge and skills !!
THanks for posting this. I was considering making some small gouges this size for a project and your method is much easier than what I was considering. The cuts you got with your new tools look very clean. Excellent work and creativity!
No worries Tom! A much nicer gouge could be produced but would require much more effort, these work well and were easy and quick to make (and they still work well). :)
As a new-bee black Smith of 9 months, I think you doing a fine job Sir.
Thank you for teaching
I made all of my smaller carving knives and gouges from worn out Sawzall blades. I'm a "notorious" dismantler of hardwood pallets and go through "deconstruction" blades quickly so I make wood carving tools with the worn out blades.
Doooood !!!
Very nice McIver build. Gouges look excellent for smaller units. Right now I've only skipped through the video but shaping and hammering with the metal block you built is +AAAAA.
Best video for shaping Iv seen so far... Thanks Much !!
Unexpectedly good result. I'll try to do it myself.
I subbed JUST because of this video! From begining to end, BRILLIANT! You see "problems" and solve them perfectly. Well done!
They look brilliant and I bet they're great to work with too. Great video Neil
That was pretty awesome! Really smart way to make them! Awesome work!
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! :)
Heyyy its youu
I loved this video as this make has been something I’ve been dreaming of doing. Thanks for this and so many amazing videos.
Absolutely amazing chisels. Cheap as well.
Auf deinem Kanal bekomme ich immer gute Tipps, wenn ich nicht weiß,
wie ich einige Werkzeuge nachbauen soll. Es ist bei dir so schön einfach erklärt.
Die Werkzeuge sind auch gut zu gebrauchen.
Ich hab deinen Kanal schon ein paar mal weiter empfohlen.
Mach weiter so, denn sind dir noch viele Abonnementen sicher.👍
Brilliant!! A man who knows no obstacles or can create pathways around those obstacles.
Thank you! :)
I've always like carving, whittling, etc......this is a really great idea.
Very clever solution.Great work as usual.!
Well done ,will be trying this ,Many thanks for sharing.
Thank you for teaching!!! Greetings from Uruguay.
I need maybe 10 gouges for holding a green woodworking class, and this encouraged me to DIY. I certainly can't afford to use multiple copies of tools bought at commercial prices.
YES! Thank you! I'm so happy this video exists! Brilliantly done, my good sir.
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
Nice project, I enjoyed watching it all come together thanks for sharing.
From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.

You are an artist !
You are very creative and inventive.
5:31 beautiful sound
Incredible video as always. Excellent work. 👍🏻
You make tool making look so easy! Very nice results...
Thanks Curt! :)
Wonderful! I never thought of making chisels on your own and so easy.
Thank you - glad it was helpful! :)
Cracking job well done
You always amaze and inspire me, thank you.
Nice project! I learn a lot from your channel specialty your scrapwood challenge. You're my idol !
Hey Neil, thank you for your videos, your creatiions are always really creative, best luck for the future !
Thank you! :)
I'm impressed 👍 nice work
Down and dirty and all you really need. Well done!
Well done mate cheap simple and very sensible
Brilliant Pask. Fantastic way to save money and learn from making your own.
Very clever, enjoyed very much!
Very good ! Thanks for sharing !
Almost from scratch! It's amazing ! Thanks for sharing.
No worries Cedric! :)
Well done how-to vid . . . Bravo!
Excellent work thank you.
Great form you designed for the chisels. I think that's the hardest part figuring out how to shape consistently. GOOD LUCK ON THE WOOD BLOCKS ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY.
Just found your channel recently, love what you're doing! I just live on the south side of Brisbane, so it's awesome to see someone very local to me doing such awesome stuff. Keep it up mate, very inspiring.
Thanks Alexander! Glad you're enjoying it! :)
This is so cool! going to try this one day
Looks like your tools cut very well! Thank you.
They work great - no worries Robert! :)
the mighty boosh Lives on! May try these chisels 😉
Awesome, thanks for sharing how to do this. I never ever thought of the idea of doing my own...until now ;-)
Pretty clever - nicely done
Thank you Jim! :)
Your video is always simple and very useful.. thanks a lot man 👍✨
Just stopping by for my compulsory tenth watching of your videos. ;) Excellent stuff!
wow some people make things look simple your very talented
Excellent video! Thankyou for the tips.
Good on ya Neil!
excellent work. thank you.
Gosh golly you have mad skills. Making tools is an art.
Thank you! :)
O My God! you are brilliant. you save me a lot money and now i will chose my new tool. Thank you for your video. It's very helpful.
I've made carving knives and a scorp out of sawzall blades that work great but couldn't visualize how to go about making gouges. These are great ideas. Looks like I got more projects to do. Thanks.
thats a brilliant idea, using sawzall blades. Looks like I got a job to do myself.
Beauty. I wish I lived next door, I could borrow this kind of stuff all the time.
Well, that's fantastic! I can't wait to see what you carve with these.
Thank you Bruce! :)
Great video, idea, and build, thank you!
Great job!! I've got a old set of small chisels like that from my childhood. I love those octagonal handles!! Want to make some for mine ... I find handles with at least one flat side help me orient the blade much better...
Wow those carve darn good , better than some I've bought
I always learn something from your excellent videos Pask! Fantastic idea!
Thank you! :)
Excellentn talent and great work. Thanks for educating. More such video is welcome for our learning.
You never disappoint my friend!!! Fantastic job and what a mind you have!!!😊👊👊
Thanks mate! :)
Great video, love the speeded up skill !!!
Very good job
A really simple and highly informative video, well done.
I've now subscribed and I am really looking forward to the next video.
Thanks for putting the effort into your videos.
No worries - glad yo enjoyed it! :)
thank you for the videos, sir
Fantastic work Sir!!! I love your channel a lot.
Regards from Spain.
A very nice chisel that is beautifully cut. I will do the same for myself. Super movie. Greetings 😀👍
Great video.
Loving the Mighty Boosh tshirt too
Now that is impressive, good job and thank you!
I don't have too many tools and don't feel like buying stuff just to try something out. But videos like yours are really inspiring and pointing out, that many of the non-electric tools can be actually made pretty easily if you put some brain power and time in it. And even a drill alone can get you pretty far, if you're willing to work around it, like making a lathe and so on.
Now I just have to figure out where to store everything, sor where to even make it. I think my girlfriend wouldn't be very excited if I coat our flat with sawdust, at least we have 2-3 months of summer here in northern Finland so I can maybe get something done in our balcony.
Thank you! You are right, you can get by with very basic tools - where there is a will there is a way! :)
Again, nicely done! I was thinking, if you and the guy from Primitive Technologies teamed up, you two could build a whole shop from scratch.
Thank you! I have no idea who Primitive Technologies are but I'm about to go check them out. :)
That looks like a really cool channel - thanks for pointing it out! :D
Wow they cut great! Thanks for the video. Now I know I can make carving gouge in a pinch.
No worries - glad it was helpful! :)
What an excellent simple solution. Kudos for the idea and thank you for the video. Those cut very nicely! Def a new sub here.
One could even make the shank so it fits into the larger size exacto knife handles and forego making handles if they wished.
AWESOME! I'M gonna try this! EXCELLENT work sir!
Thank you! :)
What a brilliant idea 🏆, I never thought about making my own and and got all the bits to make them with.👍🏼😊...
I recently moved and my old wooden shed was damp and leaky but now in a dry garage but 99% of my tools are rusted...some will clean up but will still be pitted but, my carving chisels were cheap, made with crappy steel so this will give me a chance to get back into carving....my wish list is way to expensive but making my own will fill that list.. thanks very much for the great video my friend.....I'm off to the garage!! 👍🏼😊
No worries Marc - glad it was helpful! :)
Oh it has been helpful my friend, got a few blades ready 👍🏼😊
Nice job, great job !
This is awesome. I've been wanting to try relief carving a few things but I lack the proper tools and since I hate buying cheaply made junk that masquerades as tools I havent given it a try yet (Well made carving tools are understandably expensive) Might have a go at making my own tools, that would add a level of enjoyment to it for me.
🙌 thank you brother ..craftsmanship ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at its finest , neva underestimate the Wedge amazing 🤩 too say the least
great job
Man .... These are great I will give it a try !!!!
Another great video and can't wait for your next one
Thanks you! Good to hear you'll give it a go! :)
