Well, this was not very scientific. If you don‘t know what the steel is, it is all just guesswork anyway. A lot of people temper stuff by heating it to a straw colour. I was lucky and it seems to have worked well enough.
@@imadethischannel I ask because if I can get away with that too, then it saves a lot of time and electricity especially for these one off projects like plough plane irons and awls
I think this is mainly for smaller parts. On larger components you cannot be sure that you obtain the correct temperature throughout the material. If you harden a blade all the way through but only temper the surface you get the opposite of what you want. Tempering in an oven with a controlled temperature is definitely safer.
It wasn't the worst screwdriver. Although, with such an unreliable handle, I don't think it was used for its intended purpose. I'm afraid to imagine injuries in case the awl gets stuck. Be careful
After quenching, the steel is very hard and brittle. Reheating to a straw color relieves some of that hardness to stop the tool from breaking while in use.
Very nice indeed! Too bad you didn't have a small ball peen hammer for the pin and then made that dent in the ferrule. I could feel the pain. It doesn't matter, but it's there 🙄😀 But a very nice awl none the less, it's just us nitpickers that can't help ourselves 😉😄 Love seeing your work!
How have I only just found this Chanel. I could watch your videos all day! Picking up so many tips & tricks. Thank you
Thanks for watching! I‘m glad you‘re finding it useful.
LOVE IT
Excellent!
Finale someone who knows how to file roundings right 😄. Starting at the far end. as always very skillful and fun to watch
Nice project.. I noticed to temper, you just heated up with the blow torch again. I've seen O1 call for 2 hours in an oven. Thoughts?

You say awl, I say shiv 🤣
Pain
Thanks for this, it is a great job.
Thanks for watching!
Why break the handle?
It is easier to sharpen immediately under the awl.
good work man 👍
Thanks!
After heat treating and quenching in the vegetable oil why reheat to a straw color? What am I missing? Thanks very nice work😁🛫

It is called Tempering, it can be done many different ways. I know for making a knife you should temper it at 200c for 2 hours.
god job bro..first time saw this kind of tools where does it use?
It is used to punch holes into things like wood and leather for example. I used it quite a lot in this video: ruclips.net/video/cXDov3g8RoA/видео.html
Cool job 👍
Bravo l'artiste

пособие по тому, как испортить отвертку.
Lol, I guess!
Μια τρύπα στο νερό.
This video is to long
Thanks for the feedback.
@@imadethischannel I think the video reflects the amount of time it takes to creat this tool!😁🛫Nicely done.
