  • Tips and tricks for hardening and tempering a chisel! Although I show the hardening and tempering process for a hot cut chisel, the same process could be used for tempering most hand tools made of either water or oil hardening material. The video is a thorough walk through on how to prepare the metal, harden the tool by quenching in oil, and tempering the tool.

    The best video about hardening and tempering yet, I could see the colors very well. Very well explained with no fluff and I’ve seen a few videos but this one is the best and the assistant did a great job too. Thank you very much.

    I can't thank you enough ... yesterday was my first time ever work with steel, and I successfully could hardened my 75 yo old man's favorite ancient wooden handle screwdriver set ... he is so happy,
    and I'm so thankful ....

    Though India had the oldest foundry and good blacksmiths even today, their art is not to be seen in towns now-a-days. I have enjoyed your blacksmith's techniques. The pains you are taking to define how the fire heats up slowly the iron is quite appreciable. The technique you impart like which part of the chisel to be treated first and how that has to be achieved is great. Thanks for your educative spirit to propagate the ancient art that man had ever blessed the world with. Carry on!

    Thank you. I do a lot of hand tool woodworking out here in West Africa where we still plow with hand forged plows behind a couple of cows. I was digging up a garden bed yesterday with my hand forged daba (short-handled hoe). May we live above reproach. Though our neighbors may accuse us, they will see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Let us live simple lives and work with our hands. Great video. I agree with all the previous comments about how useful and well presented it was.

It is a project, but I am about to do anyways,..)

If they sprayed some nice sparks on the fine side of the bench grinder, I'd harden them. I also concur with others..don't change your teaching style. You're gifted at teaching for sure.

    You could heat your quench oil up and boil off the water as it will vaporize long before the oil gets to boiling, nice and slow. Most steel needs about 75 degrees past non-magnetic, tool steel does behave differently. Nice tutorial, well explained.
