A smith showed me a punh handle that curved to the side of the hand holding it. This allowed him to see the punch as it cut so he could more easily follow a line.
Yours are the first chisel handles I’ve seen like these. Most smiths use special tongs. I do think a detent makes sense, or a flat side at least, to maximize holding surface of the screws. Nice project!
Thank you! It's definitely my go-to, and by far my favorite in the collection. If you'd like to see me make it, you can watch the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-buzfCruNvCw.html
I was thinking you must be fitter than you were last time lol, the point where you started working is where I break out the 7lb hand hammer..... I really like your way of doing handles, may I borrow it?
