Decorative. After the hinge straps on the door to Sam Yellin's office. Didn't have appropriate curved chisels or round punches, or straight chisel of appropriate bluntness, so I forged those up as well. A good morning.

@Flux I like the diamond textured pattern at the top.

I would love to see pictures of the tools you made too! That's half the fun of blacksmithing, for me at least.

@dustin Ask and you shall receive. Plain little chisels out of a coil spring from a friend's VW Golf. Not much to look at but quick to put together and easy to heat treat.
Also hammered out this little collating vise for another project.

@Flux Nice!

I've never made a curved chisel- if I ever do any decorative work I'll have to figure that out.

@dustin nothing particularly tricky. Clean up what will be the inside face then peen it into your anvil step or whatever. A bit of belt grinder action finishes it.
