The magicut files are delightful to use!
I'm enthused to learn proper chisel making and sharpening from such a talented individual, thank you.
You are very welcome
Why am I not surprised this man crafts his own tools ? So far every one of your video's are a joy to watch !Thanks .
I like it when a master craftsman shows how to make tools. One small comment though. Add a quick demo of the use.

I found this segment on how much one should pressure the chisel to excellent advice. Not only for making chisels, but also because it makes for an excellent metaphor. If one applies too much force or effort into a single task or even a whole aspect of their lives, they will find themselves struggling to be the best they can be, because they are losing balance and harmony, in exchange for power and force. This supports one of my favorite principles, Finesse over Power.
Thank you for this video. You continue to inspire me. I am very close to being able to make some of these tools so I’ll keep this in mind. Excellent work.
Very helpful, just ordered a few Magicut files, they look pretty hungry!!! Many thanks again for the time and effort you put into these videos, It means a lot to be able to learn from someone as skilled as yourself. Every time I watch one of your videos I find myself in my workshop faffing with all manor of things...........
The moust honest and well done explenation of sharpening that i was able to find. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Ford for another fine video. I love watching you do your craft and only wish I had an eighth of the talent you possess. So sorry for your loss. My condolences.
Just ordered some W1 round stock to try to forge some out, this video will definitely help, thanks.
My condolences and thank you for this great tutorial Mr Ford.
Thank you, and I'm glad this tutorial was helpful.
Perfect tutorial on the subject. This will enable those who wish to make their own tools capable with the mysteries explained. Excellent. 👍
Thanks for this video. I am so glad I found you
Glad it was helpful!
As always... This is priceless! Thank you again for sharing.
Glad to hear you enjoy the films, Fred.
Thank you so much great video🙏🙏
....You ought to attach a small stopper edge strip, or block to the board that you're resting your "diamond stone" on, as you clean up the hardened chisel, ....(so that you may keep your finger out of the way, so that you can utilize more of the "diamond stone", and, so you don't slice open the end of your finger!) Thank you, very much, for this skillful, vital, tool preparation, demonstration! [Condolences on the loss of your Mother. May God Bless you, all!]
Excellent video! Thanks
Thanks for making and sharing this. It's full of great information 👍 👌
great video, I think ill make this type of chisel first when I start forging some metal carving tools
very clear and helpful, carry on!
This was very well done! Great quality video, great angles, close ups along with explanations.
Amazing how to video!
You do amazing job, beautifull.
Hello! Excellent video and immediateley I was impressed by how quickly the file removed the scale from the chisel, seems to me like a >must have< which could come in handy for hard spring steel. Thank you for putting down a link. Ill eventually buy myself one of those.
as always amazing and calming video :)
you could go with bar stock W1, O1 etc but but legit chisel blanks are forged with a taper, and not easy to find just commonly than the smaller graver blanks which come in all shapes and sizes just they are kind of small. debating if I want gravers or chisels for my engraved brass and pewter pieces
thanks for the tips!
Could you post the source for your chisel blanks and specifically which item you ask for from your source?
Thank you.
Please send some this videos
hello..! Greetings from sri lanka..just starting as a hobby,which metal can i uses to make an engraving tool..?
A W1 or O1 steel is good. Or old files can be made soft in a fire and re-used, it's good steel. Also, spring steel, as used in cars suspension is an excellent steel.
Where from Japan do you buy supplies?
Can you use this for engraving in unhardened steel?
I do, yes.
Hello, anybody knows where i can found a shop for purchase carving chisels in Tokyo?
look up Seaforce Jewellery supplies Tokyo
@@FordHallam Thanks you very much 😀👍
Ay reason grinding down old broken drills aso couldn't be a way to start for a beginner.?
Drills are very hard and brittle so they would be a tough job to shape and very hard throughout the body so prone to vibrating when tapped.
@@FordHallam OK.. I had no idea, but it sounds logic, once you point it out..
So these were Heat Treated Before you started shaping or after the shaping?
The metal at the start was soft (annealed), hence cut easily with the files.
Is there a link for the diamond stone.
I didn't link to any particular supplier as they are easily available. Googling the brand name and details I supplied will bring up many options depending where you are in the world.
This guy sounds a lot like David Gilmour. I bet they are from the same area.
Where to buy online stock blanks?
Or where to buy fine chiisles online?
I just ordered from Podforg at shop.podforge.com
Good grief!......I just decided I don’t want ANYTHING to do with “graving” as he put it. I’m kinda old (70) and don’t think I would live long enough to sharpen a brand new graver out of the box. Plus I noticed all the equipment used in this trade is a lot more expensive than I realized. 😢.....so, I guess, I’ll just use a sharp 16 penny nail to “engrave” with. I’ve always referred to this (like everyone else) art as engraving soooooo, ain’t gonna change that now. Wonder what they call it in Heaven. Oh, I’ll be a spirit body like Jesus so, I’ll just imagine an inscription (graving) and watch it emerge right before my spirit eyes......hmmmm, with everything else going on up there might not give two shakes for engraving tho. GOD bless you all. 🙏😇🥰
Well, engraving aint for each and every one of us to be actively involved from a to z.
Some will have a go and chip away, as others can observe this action and admire works of artisans.
