Yes! Blacksmithing , I am finally able to play with some hot steel again. Can't wait to set up my other tools and forge more stuff. For now, as a warm-up project, I made a couple of handy tool with a spring I got from the steel scrapyard. Needless to say nothing complicated! But still very useful to have in the shop as I always cut and centerpunch stuff. Definetly worth making something like this to get back into hammering.

I just started to list some of the stuff I use for my projects in this amazon storefront:

Index of operation and materials:
0:44 Hot cut a long enough piece of spring
0:58 Straighten the piece
1:20 Four sided taper
1:32 Hot cut the punch off
1:55 Forge a simple blade shaped end
2:52 Rough grind of the tools pre heat treatment with 2x72 belt grinder
4:25 Heat up to critical temperature (guessing for this unknow steel)
5:03 Temper the tools to lower hardness and increase thoughness
5:24 Remove scale with bench grinder and steel wire wheel
6:05 Final grind on 2x72 belt grinder
6:55 Hand sanding to achive better mirror finish
7:23 Buff with cotton wheel and fine polishing compound
7:40 Strop on leather with fine polishing compound to get it sharp, no secondary bevel here, I'll sharpen with slack of the belt grinder anyway once it gets dull
