When I see a table I think to myself, this is a waste of guitars.

Nicely done. Keep up your broadcasts

Hello Daisy. You have a fantastic workshop. I'm envious! That being said. I hope you'll accept some advice. I noticed your shelf with the battery charger & the green light on indicating that the battery is fully charged. You should not leave the batteries in the charger after full charge for any period of time. I'm a General Contractor on the Central Coast of California with over 30 years of experience. I recently had a customer who had a row of battery chargers lined up on a workbench against a wall in his garage. He would leave the batteries he wasn't using that day in the chargers all the time. One day he went to work, and came home after work to find his garage on fire as a battery overheated & caught fire. The fire "lapped" up the wall to the ceiling and over to the attic ladder (which was wood) & burned through allowing the fire into the attic space. Luckily a neighbor called & the fire dept put fire out before the house burned to the ground.

I built my workshop 24 years ago and it's not yet finished :)

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

So difficult to get good coke these days.

Awesome shop, beautiful lady 😊

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.

I would love to hear more playing of your guitars and appreciation of the final crafted product. Does installing something like an LR Bags Duo pickup or Anthem pickup negatively impact the acoustic sound of a guitar in your experience?

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

Thank for the content I enjoy it very much, keep up the good work.

I Did

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.

This is your best video, I love your content, but you hit this one out of the parc! Great work!

Really like the Body Former, you probably made yourself.

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.

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. 🙂

Now that's far out! The whole video... Just amazing! I pray the charity does really well

That really is fascinating, seeing the chisels coming together little by little. And the finished result will last a lifetime and more.

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.

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?

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..⁉️🤔 Retired Arch'., Eng.,Ph.D ( Bld' Sci.) With love " From Out of Africa " 🙇‍♂️❤

Love you Daisy

I really enjoyed this format! It was fantastic, please do more

Excellent, Tempest videos never disappoint.

Great job!

Also, there is no better feeling than using a tool you made yourself!

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!

👍

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.

Wonderful story! Joe and Thorn Wood Forge are great.

meanwhile my piano maintenance guy: "If those darn things didn't last that long I would sell more ;)"

Damn Joe's such a hottie. 😍

love it when you use chisels to make a chisel.

Really cool. Any project for charity is always a great idea. Fantastic video.

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

Nothing more rewarding then a sharp chisel 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great video and project.

Your videos are beautiful. Thank you.

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.

Lovely stuff! And a worthy cause. Been wanting to try forging for a long time.

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 😎🎸🤘

Did he ever explain why he chose not to forge weld the chisel socket shut?

I like this.As a Cabintmaker ,Woodworker .you have many talents.And I Enjoy your Channel.😂❤😊

Is a chisel, made by a Londoner, in an English forest, really still a Japanese Chisel?……regardless, very entertaining as always

I love that motivation so much.

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? 😉

The most common type of steel used in leaf springs is 5160 steel.

18:17 what was that?
