Yep, difference is the width, the flat bottom, and very little of a bow between the sides is a spade, a regular shovel will be shorter, more pointed, and dished more. Although this one is dished pretty significantly. As a child my brothers and I would chop down thistles that would grow as tall as 6' in the pasture grandparents had for cattle or horses.
"What do you call it in English?" ..... That's actually a combination tool. It's both a spade and a crow bar. Most people think of crow bars as 2 feet long nail bars, but a proper crow bar is about 6 feet long. I've heard them called pry bars also, but the tool I watched being made I would refer to as a combination tool. The name that covers most possible uses would be a "drainage spade", so that's probably a good name for it.
That's hard work craftsmanship. If I might offer a suggestion: cool the metal in oil, not water. Water hardens the metal to only 18 thousandths of an inch. Oil will harden the metal completely all the way through, because it is slower than water with the heat transfer.
@@bharatg124 Yes but that would stop it being used to open out the post hole. With a crowbar end and a point at the other we used to call it a podger. But it didn't have a useful spade/scoop to clear the hole. We had to carry another tool (a post hole digger/grabber) which has a pair of hinged scoops to clear the hole.
I like your shop set up, especially your power hammer. Curious if you have looked into the London pattern of anvil and Hardie tools. What I find d most useful with the hardie tooling is that using the Hardie hole, I can make all sorts of different tooling like swages, bending forks (like the 2 prongs driven into the side of your stump), and pretty much any other tool you can possibly imagine, with them all setting in the same place to make my swing comfortable, and the variety of options. Glad to have found your channel and stay safe in these times.
I don't know how it is called in english but here in italy we call this tool a "cartoccia". I see you have some great skills in metalwork but i wanted to advise you to try making axe and hammer handles with wedge fit or slip fit, those handles just pounded in the head will slide off once the wood dries up
We call it many names for certain things, like: Drain Spade, trench bar, tree planter, and it can if you shapen up one end and flatten the other become a heavy wood chisel.
He is an expert blacksmith and also seems to know how to use the tool very well for digging. The soil in Cambodia seems very rich. Perhaps he was a farmer before becoming a blacksmith.
I have seen it used in videos from South East Asia. it was used to dig holes in river banks to make fish traps and to dig out nests of Cobras. Once they got at least eight out of this one nest I do have a question though, why didn't he harden the point?
It is obviously two tools in one. it is a narrow spade on one end and a digging pick on the other. Normally, this would be two separate tools. The spade would have a wooden handle at least metre long to make it more comfortable to work with and the pick be about a metre and a half to also make it more comfortable to work with. The longer it is, the deeper one can dig with it. If two are joined together with a hinged joint, it would be a post hole digger for digging deep 15-20 cm diameter holes.
I learnt blacksmithing many years ago but with the advent of the modern welding machine why mess around with old skills. Simply weld a piece of plate onto the bar, hard surface its edge, same withe the pointed bar, simply hardsurface the point. Quicker and cheaper without all the smoke and ashes.
The blacksmiths anvil is mushroomed. Broken pieces can break off and injure someone. Maybe not if it is soft enough?? Just looking out. Love your channel, best on TH-cam!!
That's the most crude furnace i've ever seen...Still amazing though if you can make one out of a 44 gallon drum? (i think it's a 44 gallon drum, not 100% sure)
Interesting ... I should be quite useful when you got grafted tree that grow all around from their roots . Digging deep, cut the root, separe small "baby" trees, take out the soil collecting around, then transplant them for later grafts ... Quite the one for .
Wow it's very useful in farming. Can u plz told me which type of material use of making this tool ( and what is hardness of material , before & after)?
A hard working man making something useful. Much respect from the USA.
right on mike 👍👍
This man has a very good eye for design and proportion and a master craftsman. Much respect from South Africa.
holy moly...what a fine craftsman, specially if you see that workshop and his working and security conditions.
Idea and workmanship make a country self sufficient . From Tamil Nadu South India .
That is called a drain spade Ideal for digging deep narrow trenches or post holes
I think that is the best definition.
@@alangknowles I knew I recognised the shape

@@billwoehl3051 we have what we call brambles and blackberries grow on them those can grow 6 foot long easily
Never seen one quite like this in the US, but I'd certainly use one in my garden!
आपके सामने सब कुछ फेल है भाई👌👌👌👌👌💐💐💐 amazing

Great video again! Looks like a small garden spade.
Very good !!
Congratulaciones from Argentina.
That’s a spade and pick combo and very nicely done, you poured your heart into it, much respect!👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy!
Lol wtf u clearly don't know what a pick is.
Love from India...🍃🙏🙏
I would call that a combination spade/spud digging bar, it's very similar to what animal trappers here in the U.S call a dirthole tool
Well done
Very strong and very beautiful tool...good craftsmanship..
sure, it is a very strong tool.
According to some literature, that's called "shovel". Tool to make a hole or shallow well to the ground.
It's a drain spade, used to make small tight holes
Subscribed. Liked the little sign behind the power hammer.
ESPECTACULAR TRABAJÓ CON TAN POCO UNA ERRAMIENTA MUY ÚTIL 👍👍👍👍
huge respect from the people in the US. No wonder you stay in sheep that's got to be at least a good 8lb's of rebar
Looks like a Birke Bar. Super HeavyDuty pry bar.... useful for ... leveraging your efforts.

Hola de Chile muy buena herramienta. felicitaciones gracias por compartir tu invento
It's a straight bar pick and shovel..with pick on one end and shovel on other
Should have made the other end as a Crowbar.. pointed end can be dangerous
@@bharatg124 Yes but that would stop it being used to open out the post hole. With a crowbar end and a point at the other we used to call it a podger. But it didn't have a useful spade/scoop to clear the hole. We had to carry another tool (a post hole digger/grabber) which has a pair of hinged scoops to clear the hole.
This is just crazy. The level of creativity and ingenuity presented in this is amazing
In Australia they call it a posthole shovel
Thanks for the word.
I'd call it a digging bar because it has the pointed end too. A great tool for making fence post holes.
Artist and Craftsman. Artist for seeing the potential of the rebar in his mind. Craftsman for knowing how to make it.

Jjjnnjj jjjnuj
Jijjnj
Just a little worrying regarding which bridge construction project the rebar came from.
Luar biasa. Bapaknya. Smoga sukses. Selalu..
I absolutely love your guys content! Thank you for sharing it with us!
Amazing craftsmanship
Excellent work.
Greetings from Argentina.
excellent life time tool for former.
It's very useful in my gardening transplanting
Siempre dándole duro a la maza, unos trabajos de los mejores de youtube
Nice job..I enjoy what you do…from mountains of California, usa
Glad you enjoy it!
I've learned so much watching your video's! Your a true master of the anvil !#
You are a metal engineer and you can do any kind of tools. Thank you.
KK Very good steel forger
Trench spade, will be lot stronger than one's you buy in store.
We might call that a digging bar, but honestly I have never seen an English tool exactly like that.
ole tine plumbers who dug awl dae no it

Worked in Africa years ago. Most of the men would hunt with a 12 gauge single shotgun and a 6’ spear made from #4 rebar. Thanks
A very nice tool, thanks for sharing your thoughts and great videos
Congratulations, the tool seems to be very useful and is so beautiful. Best wishes for the hitman.
Thanks for him

Now that's a reliable shovel!!
In germany we dont have exactly this tool, but its kinda like a spade
A couple of good things about the trench or pipe shovel, the shaft won’t break and no one else will want to pinch it, due to being so heavy!
We call it many names for certain things, like: Drain Spade, trench bar, tree planter, and it can if you shapen up one end and flatten the other become a heavy wood chisel.
Where can I find you and the blacksmith if I go to combodia?
I'm not sure what to call it. But I dig a lot of post holes and wish I had one just like it.
In german it's a Lochspaten roughly a holespade or holeshovel...because it digs holes pretty well
My neck of the woods calls that a Tile Spade. Used to dig trenches for a clay field or drainage system.
Great job 👏
He is an expert blacksmith and also seems to know how to use the tool very well for digging. The soil in Cambodia seems very rich. Perhaps he was a farmer before becoming a blacksmith.
Right, he was. His parents are still working as farmers
Wow good job real good congratulations Men
Do blacksmiths get early arthritis in their hammering hand?

Nice Tool
Very excellent.
Semoga usaha kamu, diberkati Allah
So super nice work

Looks fantastic, I’d probably buy one. They look so well made!
I would like to to buy it. Do you sell it?
This guy sure works on that weed problem he has a lot.
You are no.1
Thanks
Good idea, thanks a lot sir 👏👍
Beautiful

Nice I know a couple of guys on TH-cam who would need something like that for what they do
🥵🥵🥵
They build underground houses with their bare hands and machetes
Amazing!
So super nice work and cool content brother
Fantastic
Always nice to see some forging, but there is no point in hardening rebar, since it can't be hardened (carbon content too low)
Wooooow ...where can l buy one .
Пенчак Силат 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Супер
Where are you from.
We are from Cambodia sir
I really want to buy it...home made tools...amazing
Great.
We call it a shovel, but the size is quite small for western shovels, and there many types we use.
Interesting ...

Good² yes amazing
Very nice.
Wow it's very useful in farming.
Can u plz told me which type of material use of making this tool ( and what is hardness of material , before & after)?
Same hardness before and after, rebar is made from mild steal which cannot be hardened. The material is rebar
@@jacksonjorski8557 I want to material grade?
& Question value zero when the timely not answering to any one
Super 👌👌👌
Lovely piece
Good farmers tool brother
