Power Hammer Tools: Curved chisels

Here is a short video on making top tooling for the power hammer. The handles are forged from mild steel with H13 chisels welded onto the ends.
Thanks again for watching. You're Awesome. If you want to help the channel for future videos, my links are below:

John, great tooling design and clean work. Your shop and is looking squared away.

[@marcsenteney3160]

Very nice build!

[@bobansupergenije7512]

Bravo za vrhunski rad

[@Mikhandmaker]

Nice Job! I love the channel

[@SouthdownWatersForge]

Love your videos, hope you bring out more soon!

[@rigoniironworks]

Southdown Waters Forge. Thanks, hopefully by the fall I can tackle more projects.

[@mitchelperkins6723]

I assume mild steel handles, and H13 for the tools. I know that's how I've made several of mine.
Another great video, simple and too the point .

[@rigoniironworks]

Thanks, forget the curved chisel part, I just wanted to show that approach to tooling. I tried solid H13 tooling, but it destroys the hammer dies. Mild steel for the impact area has worked well so far.

[@Thaddigren9]

Did you make that kiss block and hardy attachment for your power hammer? That thing looks super useful.

[@rigoniironworks]

Yessir, most of the tooling in the shop I made.

[@BlackBearForge]

What rod are you welding the H13 with? Absolutely spectacular videos.

[@rigoniironworks]

Black Bear Forge Thanks! I've had good luck with 7018 rods after preheating the h13. I experimented with solid h13 tools, but they were way too hard on the power hammer dies. Handles are mild steel.

[@HoonaticRacing]

What grade of steel are you using? Also, why don't you have a fire brick on the opening of your forge?

[@rigoniironworks]

Hello, mild steel for the handle and h13 for the chisel part. I block up the other end with firebrick and the front off camera.

[@Jiminycroquet]

how do you manage to get any work done in a shop so clean?

[@rigoniironworks]

I find that I am more calm, working in a clean/organized shop.

[@kevinstanford1646]

I imagine that this is how a forging shop would look inside a fire station. :D

[@redneckthreepercent]

Those are pretty cool do you sell the tools you make

[@rigoniironworks]

Hello, that's the plan, but I've been tied up building a new shop this year. After getting set up, I will be tool building for sure. Check back on this channel/website by the end of summer 2018.

[@redneckthreepercent]

Cool can't wait you know about what the prices would be. Im a Vet living on disability so my income is a little limited.

[@Wedelj]

I must not know much about blacksmithing, I'm not entirely sure I know how these tools are used. I guess I just need to wait and see :)

[@rigoniironworks]

Hi, I wanted to show that approach to tooling, being a hard steel welded onto a mild steel handle/striking surface. And yes, I will use these in a future video.

[@leviblackwood3258]

How much would a nice pair of those pick up tongs cost me?

[@rigoniironworks]

Hello, future projects are on hold until my shop is built. I'll be back up and running hopefully by summer 2018.

[@leviblackwood3258]

Rigoni Ironworks oh no prob. Good to know. I hope the build goes well!
