Tips and tricks for hardening and tempering a chisel! Although I show the hardening and tempering process for a hot cut chisel, the same process could be used for tempering most hand tools made of either water or oil hardening material. The video is a thorough walk through on how to prepare the metal, harden the tool by quenching in oil, and tempering the tool.

your wife held the camera almost as steady as if it was on a tripod so kudos to her for that and kudos to you for a very informative and details video. cheers mate

Probably has a camera with stabilization or the camera is in a gimbal.

Thank you. I do a lot of hand tool woodworking out here in West Africa where we still plow with hand forged plows behind a couple of cows. I was digging up a garden bed yesterday with my hand forged daba (short-handled hoe). May we live above reproach. Though our neighbors may accuse us, they will see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. Let us live simple lives and work with our hands. Great video. I agree with all the previous comments about how useful and well presented it was.

@johnhenkel1828 6 лет назад

I just recently started forging and have been watching hours and hours of videos, but after watching your video I think I finally understand what is going on when hardening and tempering a piece of metal. Thank you so much.

@kennybarlow8558 4 года назад

absolutely great job of explaining the process and he videography was top notch as well! wish I had found your demo sooner as it answered a lot of important questions and the video was able to reveal in true color exactly what you were referring to. Job well done!

@jessalva3073 2 года назад

The best video about hardening and tempering yet, I could see the colors very well. Very well explained with no fluff and I’ve seen a few videos but this one is the best and the assistant did a great job too. Thank you very much.

Hey, I'm a welding student, but I'm making a chisel in class tomorrow for our metallurgy unit. This was super helpful and informative! The directions my instructor gave out were very confusing, much easier with visuals :)

@directorofnothing6010 6 лет назад

Great video. Funny you mention hardening with a rosebud torch tip. Since I've hardened cheap cold chisels in that manner before building my forge. If they sprayed some nice sparks on the fine side of the bench grinder, I'd harden them. I also concur with others..don't change your teaching style. You're gifted at teaching for sure.

@tdcmachine Год назад

I have tempered small items in a standard kitchen oven. Set temp according to steel type and hardness required, place tool in oven and let set for an hour or so depending on the thickness of the part. You cannot over temper with longer temper times, it could stay in the oven all day with no ill effects, quench or not when removed. A bronze temper color equals 375 to 425F.

@johnjude2685 4 года назад

Some tool steel needs to get harder than critical temps,I think most Thanks for teaching Sir

@azulan730 Год назад

in school we got thought to slowly temper from the back but never let it get red. once the tip reaches 250C (golden brown) we quench the whole tool in water. since the back of the tool never got red it wont be hardened and brittle and wouldn't be needed to be quenched in oil.

@workwithnature 7 лет назад

Hi great explanation and well done on the video thank you ;) I have a few questions, I just got a few wide, what I think to be truck leaf springs and a narrower car leaf spring. How can I tell if they are 1045 or 1095. Will all the big leaf springs be the same steal and need the same treatments? Are the leaf springs the same as the coil springs? Can you tell me do you need to bring it to a dark blue for cold chisels cold tools? Just subscribed & liked your video. David.

@ChristCenteredIronworks 7 лет назад

+Work With Nature Hi thank you for your questions.. #1. If all the springs are in the same bundle then yes they will be the same. #2. A local scrap yard should be able to tell you what they are made of. #3. No usually coil spring is a little different from leaf springs #4. No the best colors for drawing back to are in the range of light straw to bronze Hope this helps Thank you for subscribing!

@baddogforge5181 7 лет назад

most coil springs are 5160 most of the time and leaf springs are 1040 or 4140 for the most part just remember when working spring steel quench in oil veg or canola work best

@bodeine454 6 лет назад

@@baddogforge5181 What are the differences between the coil spring steels and the leaf spring steels? Will you give an example of which of those steels would be forged for different purposes? In other words, which of those steels would be better suited for certain purposes or tools?

@stevejenkins8880 7 лет назад

A really excellent demonstration of the annealing process. Your approach was better illustrated (thanks Jessica) than what it was in my blacksmithing class. In my mind the process was a bit vague but I've got it now. Kudos, Roy!

@wesgilster8688 6 лет назад

Fantastic education, the best I've seen so far. I'm always so depressed when I see that purple band of color form on the tip of a brand new chisel due to heat up from friction. One thing that I didn't catch was the purpose/difference(hardening and tempering) and why I can't just perform them all in one. Both harden the tool, right? It also isn't clear to me as to what factors you use to determine whether I should go back to the hardening step or if a re-temper would be sufficient on "fixing" tools.

@ChristCenteredIronworks 6 лет назад

Though India had the oldest foundry and good blacksmiths even today, their art is not to be seen in towns now-a-days. I have enjoyed your blacksmith's techniques. The pains you are taking to define how the fire heats up slowly the iron is quite appreciable. The technique you impart like which part of the chisel to be treated first and how that has to be achieved is great. Thanks for your educative spirit to propagate the ancient art that man had ever blessed the world with. Carry on!

@singhaya. 6 лет назад

I like the way you teach its simple and detailed thanks a lot sir

@tristanlashley9293 6 лет назад

Also heating steel up fast will not make the grain structure grow it's over heating that will cause this. But you do need to heat slow to get the steel to heat up all the way through

@reneemills-mistretta790 5 лет назад

Do you need to heat the oil before quenching or not?

@papahajek5383 5 лет назад

Heating a separate piece of steel and laying the chisel on it is also a good way to temper more evenly and safely. Not as good as a temp controlled furnace but it works . I've never used one but maybe the inexpensive infrared thermometers could be used. I have used Tempilstix with success.

@Franco-zu5kt 4 года назад

Thanks you sir very informative video. I have only one fast question: I never understood why its necesary to temper the tool after hardening in oil or water. I mean if you harden the steel two times dont you loose the first hardening? Im confused with that.. I read you..

@illdrag 7 лет назад

Hi enjoyed your video..A quick question.If you dont have a forge can you use a torch for black smithing? I'm a welder by trade and always have wondered this..It seems like a torch would be faster and easier than a forge.Excuse my arrogance for your trade.I suppose i could do my own research on the matter.

@sethwarner2540 6 лет назад

is it true, that what you quench in, whether oil or water, influences the internal grain structure of the steel? i am color blind, so the magnet method is a releaser for this pinch point. i am a woodworker so the hardness of tools makes or breaks my day.if the tip is hardened, how come it shined up?
