Hello! I have two tips for you. Tip no. 1: When your steel is hot, don't talk, because by the time you get to forging, your material will be cold. Tip no. 2: You can do the hardening and tempering from a hot one. You simply draw as much as you actually want to temper, and the heat will migrate from the part of the material that is still warm to the segment of material you are tempering.

Great video. Definitely overkill on the quench and temper for rebar though. But a smart little video for beginners looking at taking the plunge into making their own tools. Good job.

Thanks for the vid. I am setting up a shop, and need a few tools. So a chisel will come in handy , and i have a small piece of rebar left. I made some tongs from rebar that has been working pretty decent. :) Happy Holidays.

Thanks for the info dude. Just about to start blacksmithing; built the forge and cleaned up my anvil. Looking for a bunch of beginner projects to start practicing, figured making tools I'll need later is the way to go. This video was quick, yet informative and looks super easy to do. Thanks again!

I’m so glad it helps! I relied (and still rely) on videos a lot when I was learning, which is one of the reasons I started making videos myself!

This is something I made for myself and it seems to work pretty well. For drifting holes if you can find a piece of 1/4" x 1" or wider material you can drill various size holes in it to use as a support so the material doesn't fold up on you when drifting holes. Start by drilling a 1/4" hole and go up by 1/16" for each hole spaced about 1" apart up to what ever size drill bit you have. Place it over the hardy hole and away you go. Makes for a nice little drifting block.

I’ve actually never thought of that, but it seems so simple in retrospect haha. Thanks for the advice, I’ll be sure to use it!

@@ToddKoch It's even better if you can get thicker material however for starting out 1/4" thick material is usually available at hardware stores, home centers, etc.

Rebar has less then 0,4 % carbon. With this less amount of carbon it´s impossible too harden it. Good tutorial, but on my opinion: wrong material. Get some 1045. It isn´t too expensive, but your tools will last a lot longer. Fishmouthing comes from not enough power or too cold material. You are moving only the upper layer of iron, not the whole material. You have to get it hotter or hit it harder.
