    You should make some woodworking tools for your dad. Hewing hatchet, froe, drawknife, chisel etc. I'm making a chisel right now myself (though I'm only making it for myself). You can even make irons for planes/spokeshaves etc. I suppose a hammer too. A warrington hammer is just like a light cross peen.

    please make your father a new set of tools hand forged by you. Adding in adjustments you discovered by using his existing ones. The shape of the blue handled draw knife with a larger blade. Some carving chisels, adze, left and right flattening axes/hatchets. Maybe have him over to the shop to suggest adjustments/improvements to the most used tools.

    i wish there are more people who are like your dad, like he takes the time to do something that is a beautiful craft and still is a great way of passing the time.
    the process is honestly fascinating and shows how much effort is put into chairs back in the day too.
    it's honestly inspiring and it cool you did this as a kid too.
    stay safe!

    Would love to see you make a series of forging tools for your dad for his birthday or what not

    When you guys are done with this series, would you ever consider releasing a one-video cut of the whole process? My dad is a beginning woodworker who's fascinated by using handtools as much as possible - he would love this, but I'd never convince him to sit down and watch a multi-episode youtube series of it 😂
    (of course I on the other hand am enjoying it immensely! I'd just like to share it with my own old dad :P)
