A smith showed me a punh handle that curved to the side of the hand holding it. This allowed him to see the punch as it cut so he could more easily follow a line.
Yours are the first chisel handles I’ve seen like these. Most smiths use special tongs. I do think a detent makes sense, or a flat side at least, to maximize holding surface of the screws. Nice project!
Thank you! It's definitely my go-to, and by far my favorite in the collection. If you'd like to see me make it, you can watch the video here: ua-cam.com/video/buzfCruNvCw/v-deo.html
I was thinking you must be fitter than you were last time lol, the point where you started working is where I break out the 7lb hand hammer..... I really like your way of doing handles, may I borrow it?

Great idea and now I know how to hold 3 short chisels made from a 12” piece of 4140. Thanks for sharing the build process.
Thank you, I hope it helps.
Very cool, I like this idea a lot!
Awesome. Hopefully you get great use out of them for many years to come my friend. Forge On. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.
Thank you!
@@strangeblacksmith you're welcome
they look great
Thank you!
😂 "it's like her first time"
Just spit on it bro.
That s7 looks tough af
If your tool doesn't fit, you obviously haven't gotten her hot enough yet.
I definitely don't advise trying to pound it in cold.
@@strangeblacksmith can't expect your tang to just sliiiiiide on in unless you broach her hole out some.
Sick hammer

It's quicker and easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission 😉
@@DogsaladSalad that is often true but I have some videos in the planning so I'll mention the channel if I use the holder
@@TalRohan absolutely! I'm here to share! I'd love to hear how it works out for you.
I never saw a blacksmith use a saw filers hammer before. Looks awkward. It's made to fall by its own weight, and will likely damage your arm.
Thank you!
