      To help prevent scale buildup put borax on the piece you're forging. Scale is caused by oxidation and the borax creates a protective layer preventing that.

    I'm an ol' widow watching your site Advoko, and though this is nothing I would need or do...it is like watching 'POETRY IN MOTION'! The 'IDEAS' you have (I luv the fact you do NOT cater to rich ways of doing things) you find solutions to everything, considering all possible means available to you. You have an uncanny ABILITY to understand all textures and their strengths, as though they were part of your own body. TRULY AMAZING! I think you are 'over-critical' of the end results on your handle...it is a; WORK OF ART! The beauty and flow of action on this chisel is wonderful to watch. Thank-you so kindly for sharing your time/talents with us. Health and God's blessings on you n' yours! If I were your mama, I'd be some proud!

    Max, the handle looks great. I really like it.
    The scale that is on the steel when you bring it out of a forge, brush it off with a wire brush. That can remove most if not all of the forge scale. When it is cold, you can soak it in vinegar and that will get the scale off also. To make the steel softer, heat it and let it cool slowly. Put it in vermiculite if you can get it or ash from a wood fire. When you heat the steel and quench in oil to harden it, use a vegetable oil or oil specifically for hardening steel. Never use old motor oil. Be well. Love your videos.

      It should be noted as to why not to use motor oil. It use to be fine 50-60 years ago but modern motor oils contain lots of additives like detergents and the likes to keep engines clean and extend the life of the oil which fouls it's use for hardening.

    I've heard that even with impregnated handles, sometimes it can split along the glued plane, so it's best to also coat a plywood handle in resin, and then turn the finished product on a lathe to get rid of the excess resin. Just a recommendation. Fantastic piece of work.

    If I haven't mentioned it yet, thank you so much for taking us away from the craziness of the protests and politics in "civilization". I live in rural America so even though I don't have it in my face all the time. our media tries to bombard us with it constantly but "cutting the cord" (getting rid of cable TV) has made my life so much better. Now I have basic Internet which lets me connect with you and other RUclipsrs who are sane.

However I think the tool would be improved with a slightly longer handle, perhaps with some contouring of the middle of the handle, although I'm sure you know better than I. Other than that, the only addition I would humbly suggest is one or two wraps of wire from you wonderful wire clamp tool...purely for aesthetics of course. Thank you for another great video.

    Great video Max, One question, did you seal up your cabin from the weather? In several of your other videos there was quite an air gap between the roof and the walls. I have shown your videos to quite a few that I work with and all are amazed at what you create and accomplish. your videos are peaceful interlude to the turmoil in the world Thanks for the Great videos

    While laminated wood has an interesting look, I think traditional forged chisel deserves a solid hardwood handle.

    Hi Max, just a word in the comments to thank you for your really great videos.
    They are always super interesting and always packed with little tips and helpful hints for outdoorsmen and women.
    So thankyou, and I hope you are keeping well and staying safe in these crazy times when it seems the whole world is going to the dogs.
    Stay safe my friend.

    And as far as your handle goes I would not touch it. It looks great the way it is.

    To get rid of scale, cover the piece with borax and heat to where the borax has floated the scale, remove from forge, and wire brush or scrap with another piece of steel until surface is clean. Keep doing this until piece is below the scaling temperature. You have just cleaned your slick!
    Really enjoy your videos.
    Thank you.

    Awesome chisel!! Love your videos!! Please continue you to make them. The subject matter is up to you as far as I’m concerned because your can do attitude makes all of them interesting and educational!! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! I respect you very much for not cutting out any mistakes to make it look like you’re perfect. None of us are but for some reason other channels don’t think people no that so they try to make themselves look flawless. This makes them look ridiculous in my opinion. Again thank you Sir for sharing your projects with us!!!
