Just so you all know, I'd recommend watching this video with subtitles! It gets noisy in that forge.
You have a copycat @YT_DaisyTempest with really bad grammar. And your pic.
You're welcome back to the Forge any time!
That was really nice work! Quality hammer work, and not a belt sander in sight...
@@MatthewETurnerwhat was the belt sander like machine with the spinning belt of sandpaper on it that they were using? And why would that matter?
@@hmmmmm6034 You are reading sarcasm where none exists. The bevels on the top were done by hand. That matters, because 90% of the "professional master craftsmen" out there couldn't do it. This is one of the few, if only, videos I've seen that under-hypes and over-performs. I had a good friend years ago who did this sort of work, and he'd be impressed. Everything about this guy's work was spot on. Love the idea that Daisy gave him some air time on RUclips.
@@MatthewETurner I believe the bevels were both forged and sanded? You clearly see the marks from sanding at 9:48.
Most likely very skilled work nevertheless.
I did the same thing. I’m a (hobbyist) woodworker and I was fascinated by how the tools were made. So I started learning blacksmithing at a local community college. Now I have my woodworking shop and a forge.
“That’s what my boyfriend calls me” 😂 that got a like. And hey, we have something in common. That’s what my spouse calls me too.
One way to model the inside shape of a chisel socket is to gently fill it up with aluminium foil, pull it carefully out and use that aluminium carrot as a model when shaping the insert bit.
Not saying this to be a critic, but I'd wager that the wood could've gone a lot further down into the cone.
@@hmmmmm6034 Yes. That handle is going to fall out, and there will be hours of work with a drill to clear all the epoxy before a properly shaped one can be fitted.
Brilliant video as ever.
I have pitched in for a few tickets in the draw not only because it would be wonderful to add that chisel to my collection but also because the cause is very important to me.
I was assessed as autistic last year aged 58. But I was one of the lucky ones. I managed to hold down a career that allowed me to retire recently and start setting up my own workshop to build guitars. The majority of autistic people never get that chance. Only around 25% have a job that reflects their genuine abilities. Something over seven in ten struggle with only basic employment or no job at all. The rates of clinical depression approach 80%. The risk of suicide is around seven times that of the population as a whole. Anything that can put a dent in such awful statistics is to be welcomed. Thank you both for supporting a much needed organisation.
Well said, thank you for saying it.
Joe is a good teacher.
I think it's a really good idea to know how to make your own tools! Even if you don't make most of them, knowing how to do it means that you'll always have the right tool for the job. I've never made a chisel, but I've made carving knives, and it was worth the effort to have exactly the knife that I wanted to use.
Making your own tools adds a spirit to them you cant get elswhere but the time, effort & other factors often make it easier to just buy the tool you need or want,
Now I have a greater appreciation for the chisels my Grandfather gave me.
This was a real treat to watch, and the end product certainly turned out spectacularly. Able to Achieve sounds like a great organization; as the parent of disabled children, I wish we had an equivalent organization in my part of the US. I've thrown my money into the raffle but knowing where it's all going, I'd have been happy to donate without the prospect of getting that gorgeous tool.
Yeah but compared to joe 99% of us 'skip arm day'
As a beginner knife maker who wants to make his own chisels one day this is the crossover I never knew I needed.
Well done Daisy. Your boy Joe knows his stuff. Leaf Springs make really good tools. Nice combination of toughness, hardness and springiness if you need it. Chisel turned out really good, awesome of you guys to help out a charity as well.
Excellent, Tempest videos never disappoint.
Aha! I guess this was what you were alluding too when we met at Makers Central. Its great to see you working in the forge. I love to see you working on guitars, but these extra curricular videos are just so much fun. That chisel is beautiful, i love the finish it was left with. 😊
What a gorgeous video and end product! Pure craft all the way through
wow. awesome. you making a tool for your craft..LOVE IT
you know i watch a lot of forging videos and i finally understood a lot from Joe. .
I watched a lot you videos but finally commenting. love them all. keep sharing with us .
Beautiful work, Daisy! You guys killed it! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Loved this latest video Daisy… it was relaxing, educational and enriching all at the same time. Your videography skills are up there with your skills as a luthier… you’re obviously somebody who cares about applying yourself to all crafts and that’s really cool
That really is fascinating, seeing the chisels coming together little by little. And the finished result will last a lifetime and more.
Great video Daisy and Joe - so enjoyed it! - Cheers from Canada
I just finished a blacksmithing course the other week where I made my own axe, and last year I made my own forging hammer (which I used to make said axe). I plan on setting up a small hobby forge and after watching this I think a chisel may make a good first project, as I like wood working as well. Also getting to use a power hammer your second time forging is awesome, I've never had the chance to use one myself, they look like so much fun to use
Wonderful story! Joe and Thorn Wood Forge are great.
Splendid job Daisy. A very worthy cause, bless you both. Maybe a skewed slick next time, with a two handed handle, nothing roughs faster.
The most common type of steel used in leaf springs is 5160 steel.
What a fun project. My great grandfather was a blacksmith. We still have a bunch of stuff he made.
Great chisel! The guitar string knife is awesome, too. Good artsy intro. Craftsy and artsy.
A lovely video always enjoy watching you make stuff.
I really enjoyed this format! It was fantastic, please do more
Wow, great job!! This is something I would really like to learn as well, but I'm in the US. I've made carving knives from smaller spring steel, but only by cutting and grinding, not hammering on an anvil.
My father was a mechanic (as was his), and he told me the sign of a true craftsman (craftsperson?) was being able to make their own tools. Of course, you've demonstrated your proficiency long before this video, but I bet it felt really good to make that chisel! Congratulations!
thanks for your video. It has become a nice sharp chisel. Maybe it would be fun to make a draw knife for a next project. You can use these to easily make wooden handles.
Lovely stuff! And a worthy cause.
Been wanting to try forging for a long time.
Not a bad looking hand forged chisel. Specially for a first time making one.
I love that motivation so much.
What a lovely film. I spent a day with the blacksmith Joel Tarr (he's on RUclips). It was a fantastic day, although I did keep forgetting that things were hot. My poor old gloves...
Nothing more rewarding then a sharp chisel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
You never disappoint. The unmistakable passion for making a tool that you will use for a very long time is mind blowing. You are a true artist of unbelievable talent. Stay real and never lose your focus.
I do think it’s a good looking socket chisel.
It would need to hold a edge to earn its keep.
Most woodworkers have a drawer with soft steel chisels
This is your best video, I love your content, but you hit this one out of the parc! Great work!
Lovely job and new skills learned 👍🏻⚒️🔥
As someone who grew up loving woodworking I become a carpenter and now have a custom cabinet and millwork shop . To find a good new chisel today is a bit of a joke . Though I would love to make my own, time is limited, so I’m buying old ones on eBay . The difference in the quality of steel is unbelievable.
Really cool. Any project for charity is always a great idea. Fantastic video.
Now for growing your own spruce trees...😉❤
Daisy, It appears you had fun, I enjoyed watching the process - I took metallurgy in engineering school, my professor had taught it 100 times! 3X/year for 33+ years. The only thing he expected us to remember was that “work hardening produces a submicroscopic coherent precipitate”. 😅 it would have been a lot more fun to have learned that by making a chisel.
Also, there is no better feeling than using a tool you made yourself!
love it when you use chisels to make a chisel.
When I first started out in the late 60s if I couldn't get the tool I wanted from Sears or the local hardware store I had to make it myself. Still do because in our Oklahoma winters the forge serves two or more purposes. Chisels, gouges, adze and grapes as well as plane irons for my oddball tools. Oh and I prefer coil springs for most purposes.
Your videos are beautiful. Thank you.
Love you Daisy
Great job!
Great job! You are an amazing craftsperson. A big thumbs up for helping others.
Now that's far out!
The whole video... Just amazing!
I pray the charity does really well
Great video and project.
Loved this! My great uncle was a master blacksmith and its nice to see the trade is still alive as well. Hoping to give luthiery a go myself this year.
Love It
There is something compelling about you.
Maybe it’s your accent?
Your honesty?
I certainly love you showing woodworking and other skills.
Anyway.
Keep making your vids.
Cheers from this Aussie living in NZ 😎🎸🤘
GFBISA: Great job to both of you guys, Daisy... Giving forward with your expert knowledge changes people's lives, and from my own experience, it is more rewarding than financial rewards, to watch somebody grab an opportunity which you sparked, and run with it. Like the old story of giving a person a fish, or a fishing rod... It's also a gilt that keeps on giving... Mazel Tov for your noble deeds. Take care and be safe out there. Tim.
Make a full set! That was really, really fun. I could watch videos like that all day! Probably worse ideas than branching out to other trades. I dunno - so much blacksmithing is pretentious at best - ill informed at worst. Very refreshing, and gives me hope. You may really be on to something.
To be honest you did the artsy intro very well.
I'll be interested to hear how much you make on the raffle. I tossed in a few chances, so I'll be expecting my chisel soon. 🙂
Nice practical " Working Tool "..Daisy, i would highly recommend the Sculpter- Blacksmith Alexander.G.Weygers Book "The Modern Blacksmith", on your Shelf. ❗
Gave one to a fellow Bladesmith (now Professional) as a gift in 1976 & neither of us have looked back in our Bladesmithing expriences since..⁉️🤔

- His neck is more hairy than your typical woolly mammoth. I have a bearskin rug that is seething with jealousy right now. But the guy knows how to skillfully forge a blade, so good for him.
- She does "artsy intro" really well. Should do documentary voice-overs as a side gig.
Thornwood forge does courses if you fancy a go!
Beautiful chisels. How well does it hold the edge? Western socket chisels might use a dab of hide glue, but friction is usually enough. Plus handles break
some damn nice b-roll
That's marvelous! The epoxy did surprise me though. Every chisel I've seen with a conical handle going into a conical receiver was held in very well simply by friction. Are there precedents for using a bonding agent here or were you innovating? 😉
Lovely.
If I had a use for such a chisel I'd enter. I'd rather see it go to someone who would use it and cherish it.
Having spent time as an apprentice toolmaker, learning to fire beads, and pathetic attempts at making horseshoes, I never understood why clamping the jaw, ‘gritting your teeth’ was of any assistance where blasting heat and arm strength was involved.
What payment methods are accepted?
The chisels you made looks great and I would love to make a contribution.
Very much enjoyed your video but must point out that you have made a standard Western socket chisel, not a Japanese chisel. Japanese chisels have a hardened tool steel slip, forge welded to a thick mild steel blank, and when you look closely to the polished bevel you can see the line between tool steel and mild steel clearly. This was probably done for several reasons, including the cost of good tool steel and the superior ability of mild steel to absorb a hammer blow, which in Japanese woodworking often had a steel head;)
Older European chisels were made that way too. As you said it's about the relative costs of good blade steel, labour, and fuel. These days steel is cheap and smiths insist on earning enough to afford food :P
@@alextopfer1068 It's no longer about the cost for steel but Japanese tool makers still prefer the traditional method;)
I'm really glad someone else knows this is NOT a Japanese chisel. It's not the shape, it's the laminated steel as you pointed out
Don't Japanese chisels have both a tang and a socket?
You are an adventurer Daisy. Lovely chisel, quite interesting to watch you off in another project.
I'm probably wrong, but I thought the whole point of a Japanese style chisel was the laminated steel folded over itself numerous times. Also, shouldn't the "down side" of the chisel be of harder steel to hold the edge while the upper is softer steel to act as a "spring" absorbing shock that could break the harder but more brittle steel? Together these technics give the steel of the chisel the beautiful "water lines" along its sides and bezel.
That lamination process is not commonly used on Japanese chisels...maybe the VERY expensive ones, and you can spend a thousand bucks or more on the very fine smithing products. Usually, as you point out, a slip of tool steel is forge welded to a mild steel blank for the cutting edge, and you can judge the quality of a Japanese chisel to some degree by the thickness of the tool steel and the degree to which it wraps up the sides.
@@johngriswold2213only super rare antique collector pieces cost more than 1 thousand, and even "factory made" nomi and kanna (japanese equivalent of chisels and plane blades) are laminated. The lamination allows shock absorption, easy sharpening even with the hardest steels and the "uradashi" technique that allows to modify the back of the blade by tapping on the bevel to get better and easier sharpening amd extending the life of the tool. Daisy here is forging a regular european chisel shaped like a nomi, which is still amazing and probably better than most regular european chisels, it just has different properties
@@carpinterodeguitarras Two different types of lamination...the common practice of forge welding a high carbon slip on a mild steel shaft and the one I thought you were talking about, the folding and refolding of steel laminations in forging fine blades.
@@johngriswold2213 as far as I know (I'm not an expert but as a luthier I'm in contact with some steel experts) the japanese fold and refold the hard steel to make it as free of impurities as possible, to avoid thicker molecules and therefore be able to get sharper blades, and then they ad the soft one to compensate for the brittleness and make uradashi possible. In the old Sheffield made plane blades, the French Goldenberg and the Basque Palmera (also Jauregi basque axes) there is also lamination, this time the one you mentioned, soft steel and hard pure steel, both hardened, almost same principle except for uradashi, which is impossible in european tools due to the hardness of the soft steel since it's not as flexible as japanese one. The good quality 1800's Sheffield blades have probably the best European steel together with the Basque made Palmera from the early 1900's, in my experience better quality than lie Nielsen and veritas (not saying they are bad steel, just not the best)
@@carpinterodeguitarras Kakuri makes a set of six, Damascus body and laminated on "blue steel" cutting edge, great looking but pricey, of course;)
Possibly a stupid question, but why is the vice such an unusual shape? It is to give easier access to work pieces held in the vice?
Is a chisel, made by a Londoner, in an English forest, really still a Japanese Chisel?……regardless, very entertaining as always
I have a "Japanese" chef's knife. It has a Japanese-style blade, made from Japanese spec steel that was made in the USA. The handle is western-style. Some people might say that it's a mish-mash, but it's emotionally Japanese. It identifies as Japanese. Who am I to question its identity?
👍
is there a way to purchase a raffle (or 5) without a credit card? here in NL it's a lot less common then in the UK it seems
Damn Joe's such a hottie. 😍
I’m in the US , can I still buy tickets ?
Why are you gonna throw your boyfriend under the bus like that? Always loved blacksmithing but that heat would probably get to me. Power hammer massage FTW!!! She is a beaut!!
Daisy, eres una mujer admirable. Tus videos me inspiran. Los dos hicieron un excelente trabajo. Enviar las ganancias a organización benéfica es algo que me emociona. Ayudarnos unos a otros💪🏻❤❤❤❤❤🎶🎵🎵🎶
Does your knowledge from being a luthier translate easily to making handles?
I like the way you are trying something new what was that music at the end it sounded Spanish or Mexican or I'm I crazy??
I like this.As a Cabintmaker ,Woodworker .you have many talents.And I Enjoy your Channel.😂❤😊
Nice work! What are the chances two people would have the exact same profile pic? hmmm
@YT_DaisyTempest yeah baby
Did he ever explain why he chose not to forge weld the chisel socket shut?
You did NOT choose an easy-forging project. I hope you do more forging and pick up some tools that are easier to control than Joe's.
Who doesn't have enough chisels???
"Tempest Workshop: where white shirts go to die"
I feel so seen
18:17 what was that?
if he is having trouble getting good coke he should speak to Columbians 😆
Screw labour ads
Careful, blacksmithing is a rabbit hole of making tools to make tools
edit: the hammer swing comes more from your back and shoulder, not your arm. for next time you're doing it
So difficult to get good coke these days.
