Stabbing Chisel

[Rambler]

While waiting around today for some stain to dry I decided to try my hand at making a stabbing chisel . I used a hex head wrench . Next I'm going to try and make a curved one . What do ya'll think ?

What are the specs on this one? Also do you have a picture of the 90 degree view. Are the corners rounded or bullnose X? Good luck.

How did you form it??


I am going to be making some of my own for stabbing and wire inlay. 


I'm not upto speed forging/tempering etc. Not sure what to use for my steel and how to form it. Afraid to use a grinder and heat it. But it'd be a lot faster than trying to file hard steel.

Some use hacksaw blades or old screw drivers. Just not sure on how to shape them and have a useful tool in the end.

I reshape exacto knife blades to use with the aluminum handle.They are a little soft but work. If you use anything that is to hard and it breaks off in the slot it can be a hair raising experience to get out.

If it breaks off in the slot, just drive it in...otherwise you'll booger the slot up.
