- This chisel was sent in by one of the many awesome folks that watch these videos! The socket had been mushroomed over by some fool in years past. he asked me if I could restore it and we did just that!
You should do more old tool restoration videos
Great restoration project ! 😊
Mmmmm.... Biscuits and steel!!
Adds a wonderful flavor to the biscuits cooking a chisel in the oven at the same time. 😉
That turned out great!👍🏾
You did an excellent job restoring that horribly misused chisel. Maybe next time you can show us a closeup view of the fine work you did. Thanks again for helping educate us newbies.
Outstanding!!
Girl here. Me girl, you caveman.
Great video and good to see life put back in to an old tool.
I was always told to be on the look out for old worn out files and chisels for the same reason as you discovered, they are made from better metal than most modern ones you find in a tool box and with a bit of care and attention, can be brought back to life. :)
As a professional woodworker, I have the same problem with chisels and several other hand tools that you do with anvils. Find way too many of them in that condition from flea markets and garage sales. Have restored a few that weren't nearly as grievous as that, raises my blood pressure to think of the stupidity involved in doing that much damage but really nice to watch one restored so skillfully.
Awesome work. Revitalizing old tools is a reward unto itself.
that story of the ice skates and tools sounds familliar to me :) ever heard of the dutch company Nooitgedagt? in the winter time they made ice skates and all the other times they made metal woodworking tools, the wooden parts (like plane bodies, chisel handles ect.) were outsourced to another company
Great job on the chisel I found some that looked just like those when I moved into my house and setup my new shop I am sad to say that I didn't have either your skill or anyone around me with anywhere near it so I "fixed" mine by grinding off the folded over metal and welding on socket tops the work but I really wish mine would look have as good as that one
thanks for the great videos
have a good day and a better tomorrow
Lol It Did look like a "SORTING HAT" LMFAO!!! NICELY DONE!!!
Great video, I have and old socket chisel beaten up similar to that somewhere, will find it and attempt to copy what you just did!
My grandpa had some of those chisels. they had a split on the side to act as a spring to grab the wood handle. If i remember right, there was an downward edge on the inside to grab the stick handle from backing out.
I heard that back when, a woodworker and blacksmiths shop were usually close together, the one could make stuff for the other and vise versa.
Most shops did a little of everything across disciplines. It would have been really nice to have a dedicated craftsman next door though
Reminds me of stories of why barber poles are red and white. Considering in that day barbers were also the surgeons performing blood lettings and other medical procedures.
Trent and his Pyro-kinetics controlling the fire
Nice work on this chisel. Now, if I mention some buttermilk biscuits and sausage gravy, you would get a bit hungry? Beings I am from Tennessee and Alabama, it sure would (and does) me. Have a great day. Glad you didn't get flooded out nor harmed by the weather you had.
I haven't been to the south for about 20+ years. That is one of my favorite things to eat when I was living in the south.
Glad to see that tool brought back to life.
Ever had a peanut butter and bacon bit sandwich? It's good.
I want to thank you ! for repairing my chisels and making a video of it !
Lucky guy. But it pains me as an old fashioned woodworker to see old tools treated like that.
i I feel very lucky that he did that for me , I bought them that way. i would never do that to one eof my chisels
Glad to have done it!
Lol glad you weren't the one that did it. Seeing tools treated like that makes me irate to the point I want to do a hate tap dance on their skull.
Curious how many times can you reheat a piece of metal (iron or steel)? Is there a limit before its no longer workable?
No real limit for the scope of blacksmithing as long as you dont burn it
Things just got real! Trent turned his hat around....the cut scene was when he ripped off his shirt and showed off the cape! Nicely done Trenton! I LOVE old iron/steel...they don't make it like they used to
Fine job, Mr. Tie. You have earned a biscuit or two. 😉
I was hoping to see a handle and some wood shavings cut with that old beauty.
Great video! It's great to see an old tool get repaired rather than thrown in the trash.
Always great to see a old tool restored back to service. The old steel is far superior to modern steel unless you order a special type. I notice this especially in old hand saws. I go to yard sales and buy several saws, toss the new ones and restore the old ones.
Hey, the new ones can still be cut into smaller handsaws, backsaws, and card-scrapers; or dado stack spacers. You can remove the teeth and make hillbilly signs and musical instruments out of them too.
Good worsk SR.
That was cool. Also since when did u guys start having this quality of audio and video. Not the best but dang it's not bad at all
Ever since we got funded for "Black Iron", we have been putting new equipment and training to use!
purgatoryironworks Well it looks a ton better.
Really cool video !
Nice Job! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, I came so close to shutting this video down, as I really couldn't see a lot of progress being made. Then, slowly but surely, I could see the chisel starting to take shape and real progress being made. Then you got me hooked and watched to it's completion and learned a thing or two. Great video, and I look forward to yet more great videos. Yup, I am now subscribed and gave this video a thumbs up......Take care.....Ken
Sometimes proper progression takes patience and time. A lot of channels out there cut big chunks of the real work out of their videos. True skill does not always include instant gratification. Just think how long a farmer waits for his/her crops to grow versus a city slicker just gowing to the store and grabbing a can or bag/bunch of vegetables off a shelf.
A beautiful redwood tree can take hundreds of years to grow.
The same for a Christmas tree for Rockafeller center. The wire and plastic faux trees can be pulled from the attic each year and put up in minutes, but they are never as ptetty as a real tree.
What kind of wood will you use for the handle?
I spit bourbon and coke when I heard "tig". Not because I'm holding you to some traditional or purist level, but because I've shamed myself slightly for sneaking in an occasional arc weld or ten on a couple of my own tools. I'm no purist, just seemed wrong. I use anything else electric to save time/effort, but welding felt like a gateway process to harbor freight. "Practical" was the next word that clicked. I was fortunate enough to get many of my grandpa's and his dads tools, restored most of them and use them with pride. Always enjoy your vids and learn something and pretty sure Grandpa would wonder what the hell I'm waiting on. Thanks Trent!
I used to leave my speaker magnet about where you put yours for convenience. A few months later while using the same steel and making very similar tools something weird happened; all of a sudden my heat treats all failed. The heat had gradually weakened the magnet just to the point where it barely stuck to the forge and fooled me into thinking "just a bit more heat and quench" Just saying don't leave your mag where it may occasionally warm up, it doesn't take much!

@@maxprophet2401 yup, heat can kill a magnet for sure.
Does this person know what cast steel is?
What's up with the Ozzy glasses
That was great
I have never been anywhere near a forge or anvil in my life but I've learned so much. I started out not knowing any of the lingo but now I know what a temper is, for example
Merci et bonjour du Québec et bon travail dans le vidéo!
Mais oui, bein sur, M'sieur!
Did you belt sand it before tempering or after tempering ?
I didn't see any color runs on it, so I'd say he took it to the belt the last time after tempering.
do you use coal or coke and or is it hard to get a hold of . this something im interested in doiing
to answer the second question what is your geographical location listed as your country. if in the U.S. i need the state as it varies largely.
Nicely done! Just a little FYI ( not trying to be a smart-a), when the iron in the steel reaches its nonmagnetic state (@ 1414F) it's called the "curie" point. Eutectic (eutectoid) , hypereutectoid and hypoeutectoid, depending on how you are using the terms, either as nouns or adjectives have something to do with the different critical temps for the different levels of carbon content for a particular steel. Basically 1060, 1084, 1095 all have different critical temps, which is when all the carbon is fully dissolved into the iron and thus ready to be quenched. So basically the critical temperature changes depending on the amount of carbon in the steel.
The curie point, when the iron looses it's magnetism is always the same, 1414F degrees, regardless of the carbon content, because it is the iron in the steel that makes it magnetic, not the carbon. The critical temp is always at least a little above the curie point, and around 1500F degrees is a generally a good rule of thumb for critical temps when using simple carbon steels. Btw, I promise I am not trying to pretend to be a metallurgist, and my description of "eutectoid" might not be exact, but I just thought you might find this little bit info somewhat interesting 😉 lol. Take care
Known to me but I have to glaze over a few of those points to include the basic viewer. Kinda of like understanding "theory" in science and in layman's terms
I gotcha. Sorry btw, I'm kinda of a nerd when it comes to knifemaking etc. so of course I just "needed" to point it out ;) lol
lsubslimed well....I learned something :-) been making knifes for many a year but never knew about "curie point". I am always happy to learn new things, and for that, thank you.
And as a sub note to the author, I thank you because I have learnt a hell of a lot from you, through your tutorial I was able to make multiple "S" wrenches, as such my twists have never been better. Have you ever thought of teaching? You would make a good teacher.....you explain things to dumb asses like me in a way we can understand with ease. Just a thought.
purgatoryironworks why are their dicks hating on you? I think you are great, I love the way you describe things, I especially liked your new piece on "anvil rebound", and I have thought the same myself for many years. Not the part about blacksmiths testing for the plate, but when metal is hot it goes squishy and does lose virtually all rebound. There is no argument, fact is fact.
I personally think your channel is great :-)
Biscuits... Biscuits... I figured you were more of a Chicken and Waffles kind of guy
Biscuits and gravy is a staple food in the south. One of the things I miss from when I lived down south.
@@Sho81 and some good ole sweet tea! 😉
Great job Trent, love watching your work. Been starting back up myself!
Why would please get a less pointy mandrel this one in NO GOOD for a handle
I love your giant metal chimney and cover!!!
Awesome. Question if you have time can a useable chisel or knife be made from mild steel?
Brian Philbrook won't hold an edge
Mild steel is not what you want to use to make anything needing to hold an edge. You can make it sharp, but it will not stay sharp.
thanks guys. What use does mild steel have?
You can use a mild steel for the body but forge weld a piece of hard tool steel on the bottom where the blade is. How you see the Japanese make their chisels and plane blades.
Mostly used for structural work
Yum
Hats off !! another job well done .
Great to see such careful work in restoring such a useful tool. I'd love to see it finished off with a handle and put to use though...
I may ask to hold onto one chisel a little longer to do just that
@@purgatoryironworks
Could you use that first one in shaping the handle for the next one on video?
I have an old plane from 1834. Still working condition.
