Hand forged wrought iron chisels (for sale) 

My dad’s dad, my grandpa had a small blacksmith shop behind his rent house. I used to crank his blower. Mainly, I was jn the way. He was a man of few words. I went by there years ago. I am not young. The old frame house is gone. The shop is gone. In fact, you would never imagine anything being there before. I remember. I miss him terribly.

5:03 Simultaneously forging and rinsing your brush. Very impressive.

Mr Chickadee, you truly inspire me. I'm 53 and I am going to learn the blacksmithing from scratch. you are a true Master

Yea! Been too long Mr. Chickadee.

Beautiful work, that wrought iron looks so interesting etched.

I like how the metal texture looks like wood.

Wow! They are amazing!! Some day I will buy some. BTW...I receive my Scythe tomorrow. My weedeater went out and I decided to try and switch to a Scythe for weedeating. Your channel has always been so wonderful and inspiring!

Man these are the rolls Royce of chisels of course! Amazing craftsmanship as always!!

Hi Mr. Chickadee. You were my inspiration to start getting into hand tool woodworking (and associated interests like blacksmithing, scythe use etc.) back in 2019 when I was on the cusp of graduating college and figuring out adult life. This craft has been my source of peace in the most chaotic times since then, and has filled my house with furniture and my garage with tools. Thank you for doing this and always being dynamic with the videos you create :^)

That's a real labour of love, and a highly individual tool !

To anyone who is new to this channel, you should see him use chisels in previous videos. He is a master and the shavings are paper thin or thinner. For me it is something truly beautiful to witness. Glad to see you Mr. Chickadee!

Every time I see your videos they make my day

Hey Mr. Chickadee, Now you are a fine blacksmith, as well as a fine carpenter ! 🙂

Beautiful craftsmanship as always

Man, what a Craftsman!

MR CHICKADEEEEE !!! 🤓 Beautiful work as always

I’ve been watching a channel for years I watch with admiration with your skill you draw us all in. I’m modest wood crafter and I felt compelled to purchase one of your chisels just placed the order. It would be an honor to have something that you actually crafted. Something I hope to hand down to my grandchildren someday.

Amazing, man... Really stunning chisels! Fantastic work! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I'm thrilled to see someone working with actual wrought-iron.

Welcome back! Always happy to see a video from you. These chiesels are amazing.

Thanks for sharing with us Josh, those are mighty fine looking chisels and Slicks that you forged. Stay safe and keep up the great works that you do. I hope they are big sellers for you. Fred.

عوده حميده وارجو الا تتأخر علينا بأعمالك التي أسعد برؤيتها ولك تحياتي وتقديري لكل ما تقدمه لنا

Good to see you back at it

Beautiful work.

Beautiful work as always. I have certainly missed your videos. I would love one of your chisels, but maybe someday.

Querido Josh, soy tu fans por que admiro todos tus trabajos y ka dedicación que le pones. Un abrazo qye te vaya súper bien.

To anyone who thinks these are expensive I'd like to point out that good Japanese chisels cost thousands of dollars.

Awesome work man. Very impressive.

Awesome love your content, was a great surprise to see a new video after so long👍👍

Fascinating!

Those are something beautiful. I wish I could afford a chisel that expensive. Maybe one day.

When I was a kid, in the early 80's, my dad got into blacksmithing. I got to spend my summer wandering the railroad tracks looking for abandoned cars (or other sources of quality steel) that had salvageable leaf springs since they are made of spring steel. We would make them into knives with a bellows made from a vacuum and a forge fashioned from a tire rim. A piece of rail was our anvil. Though your setup is nicer, you have the same spirit of creativity. Your videos remind me of those times, thank you.

its such a good thing that you're bringing these tools into the world! I'm curious about how japanese smiths carve the hollow into the high carbon steel. is this something you intend to try?

Has "RU-vid" taken a toll on your private life? If so, I understand. However, your channel is so much better than the other trash that is continually thrown in my face tha I scan every day hoping to see something from you. Be well.

That is something else! Outstanding piece of art those crafted chisels! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Hats off!

My favorite RU-vidr

These are beautifully crafted and you sold them for a very good price great work.

Great looking chisels! I only wish they shipped outside the US. Fingers crossed

If you decide to make more, I'd like to be able to sign up for a notification. Sad I was too slow.

So many questions! When did you start metal work? Why didn't you show us how you build your forge? Where have you been?

Glad Your Back ! Amazing Chiisels!

can you make a video about wood movement? plz

Would love an update video to see how the Korean floor has held up and how it’s aged and some other past projects. Amazing chisels though! They look a delight to use.

Как же Вас давно не было! Приветствую!🤝

Is a chickadee , frinstance, like a Blue Jay, or a swallow, or even an Australian Willy Wagtail. I don’t think they’re expensive but I can’t afford one! Love yer art…

In this XXI century full of (worldwide) shoddy companies and individuals who just seek for fast money (except, of course, in Japan and South Korea) and full of no respect for hand-work as an active meditation, it's always mind-blowing to watch you, Mr. Chickadee, working as honest and smashing craftsmen worked in centuries XVIII and XIX, where handmade tools were (and still they are) the best ones ever constructed. Thanks so much, gentleman, for your enormous generosity while sharing your unbeatable skills! Each video of you is a gilded homage to self-demanding work.

Hello @Mr. Chickadee, I have a question on how you keep your hewn timbers from splitting?

another lesson!

They look amazing

Hurrah!!🌟 Mr. Chickadee decided to fly home (RU-vid) and pay us a visit. Its been many moons, Sir!! I'm a 🤔 when it comes to handmade tools. The Expertise.Time. Patience. Dedication put forth to create and XLNT piece of work is not everybody's cup of tea. The end result is to be admired and you should be Proud.🏆 Truth be told ~ We are in the presence of a Master. With that said ~ 👍👍👍👍👍💚🙏 ...

Wait... whaaat? You can make beautiful tools like this without a power hammer, CNC, plasma cutter and belt grinder? Who knew... ;-)

Hand-forged chisel? FOR RIZZLE?!

wow, just wow

You sure do have a wide range of skills 🙂. I didn’t understand some of your subtitles. For instance ‘Clay protects steel during quenching’. Why? For what reason? Am I missing something 🙂.

One of my absolute favorite Makers on the Tube. Chisels are beautiful to look at. I am sure they perform as good as they look. Always a pleasure to watch you work.

I wish you good luck with this new business!

I've never seen someone make a tool that looks like wood but is in fact metal. they're like a work of art

👍

I am sure you built the lathe…are there plans available somewhere?

The most specifically made to purpose tongs I've come across. Very nice :-D My grandpa was a blacksmith in The Netherlands so videos like this remind me of the family heritage. Thanks for sharing great work - again.

Is there anything Mr. Chickadee cannot do? I have seen no evidence of that as of this date my friend.

Beautiful work!

I have been watching you since you bucked out the poplar. This, though, is a whole other level of craftmanship. Wow, but wow.

Wow, i've seen lots of cool stuff in this video !! Definitely love the wooden handles for your signature punches i want to make them too. I think you're forging with bituminous coal, be careful with the fire maintenance. Coal only gives warmth when it is glowing (thus already turned into coke), the fresh coal should definitely slowly smoke out any bad stuff first. (usually they put fresh coal on the side and you can water them slightly ... until they are coke) Coal that burns doesn't give any warmth to the iron only radiation heat ;-) ... in the end it looks like you we're doing fine, i just wanted to give you the information to make sure ;-) The Japanese alternating push and pull blower you are using... is it working good for the bituminous coal? Cause i think it is designed specifically for charcoal because charcoal likes to have alternating air flow (it gives more heat). But i have no experience with combining those so i don't know if it works good🤷‍♂ Have fun forging !!! Next step is welding with sand 😛

I miss your video's.. Keep em coming

what coal do you use, and do you have a video on starting the coal fire?

Beautiful, and too bad they are sold out. Will there be more?

You are sold out already in less than 4 weeks? 😪

On the website, I'm afraid I couldn't find the chisel prices.

Always nice to see one of your videos.

HAVEN'T SEEN YOU IN A WHILE.....HOPE YOU'RE DOING WELL ,EXCELLENT WORK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👊🏾

joy to watch! price is far too low!!

I like the twist it's really nice

Why would you make a chisel out of wrought iron? < 0.8% carbon is softer than mild steel and can't be hardened. I hope the title is wrong lol

Glad to see you after a while.

Love your work, but watching you swinging that hammer with the cut off still in place gave me ghost pains in my fingers!!

you are fuckinnnn amazing man

wonderful As stated in the overview section, the manufacturing method is based on the Japanese method of making chisels, but the shape is similar to American chisels, which was interesting.

As someone who grew up in the last century watching the craftsmen on PBS, I think you are the 21st century's Roy Underhill.

If that's a loaf pan, can we assume you're using all-purpose flour as flux??

What a lovely work. Congratulation for the highest level of craftsmanship!

This is so strange because this past week, I was telling my son who is getting into woodworking about your channel. Those are beautiful. Thank you, Mr. Chickadee.

It's been months since the last video! ''we thought you was a toad!"

Glad to see your content again! Blacksmith tip, you can stop a lot of vibration by putting a big magnet on the side of your anvil. Hope I could help you like your videos have helped me

great idea . your new equipment is cool nice glasses

I've been using the same set of Stanley chisels for over 40 years. Good stuff lasts so you never really waste any money on it. I have no idea if the ones they make today are any good. If I was to build a log cabin or a post and beam, these you've made would be my first purchase.

Where are the prices?

You are going to be so busy making chisels. Spectacular tools with a very unique finish.

It sucks to be poor and not be able to plurge money on this, but at least I can watch your inspiring videos for free. Thank you!

Wouldn’t be surprised if these sell out quickly. Nice work.

Good to see you again, Mr. Chickadee! Semper Fi, brother.

Nice work. I'm a little sad we didn't get to see you use the sharpening wheel you made.

beautiful work and a joy to watch the process. love the handles for your touch marks , thats brilliant Your use of old hand tools makes me think of my shop too thankyou for sharing and taking me down memory lane to my early learning days

Wish I could buy a whole set!! Absolutely beautiful, Sir!!!

You're a blacksmith too?! Wow!

Nice work Mr. C 👍

Great job.

Beautiful, worth every penny!

A thing of beauty. Not in the market for chisels but they would be worth every penny

Very impressive! Do you make your own charcoal or do you use coke?
