Handmade Forged Socket Chisel - Blacksmithing Practice
My Premier Project Plans: paskmakes.com/premier-project...
My Free Plans: paskmakes.com/free-plans/
I really fancied having a go at forging a socket chisel. I thought it would be a fun challenge and also some good practice. I reckon it turned out great but I'm sure I could improve on it next time! :)
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

As a proffesional blacksmith with hand tools specialty, including chisels, I must say- good work. Hard to belive it's your first one.
Thanks very much for your encouragement Greg - that means a lot! :)
I guess when you get experienced enough from previous 'first tries' you learn to avoid those things and plan ahead more. Not speaking from personal experience, in my mid 20s still a child.
Im in the same boat, a blacksmith of 14 years specializing in tool production and I was impressed by the overall quality, as well as his partial success in forge welding the bit. Most newcomers cant get a forge weld down for a while, but Id say he’ll have it within a few tries. Just goes to show that true craftsman talent does in fact translate and transfer between fields.
Man, this chisel is looking weirder and weir...oh that's the part that connects to the handle!
ikr haha! wtf is he doing??? oh ... :D
I thought the same, I was thinking this is not a chisel its a Bowl Gouge until a few minutes later lol
I’m like cool dovetail, how does that... oh it’s for the socket 😅
Ditto
ha ha...I had EXACTLY the same thought!
Aluminium foil - only genius can do that. Nice CHISEL ☺ Cheeers!
Agreed another one for my bag of tricks
Yeah, brilliant!
Oh yes, definately keeping this one in my bag!
I just live the fact that that was your first time forge welding and you came away with not only a successful weld but a beautiful and useful tool in the end. Wonderful work Mr. Pask
Grinders and paint make me the welder I ain't 😁
That camber of speech of yours and your calm demeanor make watching you fun. Your exquisite attention to detail and careful execution make you a master.
I love your videos. No BS, No sponsorship you just get right into and you explain as you go without dragging it on. Built a set of truck drawers off your videos, don't change how you do them!
I just don't manage to sharpen my chisel and you simply make it yourself. RESPECT!
I don't envy your skills. I envy your attitude and motivation.
Made by hand, 10x better than all these so called "blacksmiths" using hydraulic and pneumatic tools now a days. Awesome work! Keep it up!
Dear Neil, I've been watching your videos for sometime, I'd liked to say you're a great teacher, thank you for your amazing effort and sharing all your knowledge and experiences here. That's priceless. What you do is a great example of teaching and education. I believe governments need to learn from you how to approach the younger generations to help them to become real persons who are also helpful individuals for the society. Thank you very much again. Love from Istanbul. And your photos are amazing... Keep on taking!
This is an excellent video on forging sockets, even though you're a beginner at it. Everyone else just shows you how to do it on a power hammer. I'm an experienced bladesmith, but sockets aren't in my current wheelhouse, so this is really helpful. Bladesmithing is simple, compared to blacksmithing, or forging woodworking tools. It leaves a lot of gaps in knowledge.
Great to see Monty again. Nice chisel, too.
I cannot take my eyes off the screen, I stay transfixed until it ends. I watch the video twice to see what I missed each time I blink. Lol. Great Job. It's a joy to watch your video.
"In case no one was certain where I'm from, here's an enormous nope rope which strikes me as a bit odd for this time of year. Welcome to Oz."
thats NOT a chisel..... THIS IS A CHISEL. SORRY I COULDN'T RESIST. YOU ARE AN AMAZING CRAFTSMAN. BEAUTIFUL SHOP WITH THE SKILLS TO BACK IT UP. THE STUFF YOU TURN OUT IS AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. THANK YOU SHARING AND TEACHING ALSO. THE WORK-AROUNDS YOU USE ARE AWESOME.
Thanks very much! :)
Lower your voice Ron!
Crocodile Dundee reference. I like it!
This is THE CHISEL. ;)
STOP YELLING!!!
I think we need a new segment " Pask Makes Coffee " that's some piece of equipment
I am also interested in that contraption!
I've been using these coffee makers for about 8 or 9 years and love them, I had the earlier model too. To find it search Rok coffee maker. It's a shame I messed up the milk pour, I had the jug in my opposite hand to normal as the camera was in the way, I normally pour it silkily! :)
"Pask Makes Coffee", I like it!
That was the most complicated part of the build
Yep, just wanted to ask the same thing, but you got it first. =)
That method of using the caliper to carve in a depth cut into the wood is brilliant lol you just sand to the bottom of the cut and you’re at the correct diameter. Awesome!
Good job on the forge welding! Beautiful result.
I like the rugged looks of low spots and dimples. Nice work. Thanks.
That is fantastic. Its amazing what you can make with a relatively simple setup.
Wonderful job! Your videos are always inspiring!! Thank you so much for sharing your creations with us!!
From just about any other KZhead channel, I imagine the title "Handmade Forged Socket Chisel" would have registered to my jaded self as a desperate move from a KZhead-Maker out of video ideas. I would already be anticipating a snoozer. But from PaskMakes, all I thought was "this is gonna be good." And it was amazing. Managed to show every important detail, to not over or underexplain anything, and to actually make a sneaky-gorgeous, beautifully proportioned chisel which appears completely functional and near indestructible, with minimal tools/equipment. I feel like Neil could make a Strativarious in a week, starting with just a hammer and a file.
Every time I see that big belt sander I'm filled with envy, that thing is amazing
Your metalworking skills continue to progress/impress. Love your work! Keep it up!
beautiful. i've watched blacksmithing videos for almost 10 years and never blacksmithed. i am a traditional wood worker though and do some timber framing. some day i'll blacksmith a big ole slick chisel.
Wow amazing. Forging a decent socket always looked like a magic trick to me. Nicely done.
awesome, I really like that you reuse all the tools you previously made
I like the hack with the kitchen foil
Beautiful tool! I really connect to the way you think and work. Keep rocking! Cheers!
Yes I do enjoy watching you make things I guess you have a lot to learn, but if I could do the things you are capable of, I'd be a happy camper. Thanks for filming this for us.
What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship .
Picked up a bunch of nifty tricks AGAIN! So happy I found your channel 😊 thanks as always!
That chisel is fantastic, man you are a inspiration! Great JOB!
That turned out great! Love you ideas and the way you bring them to reality! Great job!
Love the outcome!
A stunning build and fantastic result.
I never cease to be amazed by your mastery of every skill you attempt. Well done!
One of your best working. Great job!
I'm practically drooling... Thats so cool!
Wow! Lovely big chisel, and some seriously good skills on display. I wish I could be only a fraction as talented as you.
I liked the foil trick for getting the inside shape of the socket. Clever.
Damn ! I need one of those chisels in my workshop , awesome job Neil
Wow, a really nice chisel! Beautifully done sir!
Gorgeous, I'd be proud to call that my own, even more so if I'd made it myself. Fantastic job sir! I love the character of a hand made tool.
Really enjoying the blacksmith work you've been doing lately.
Absolutely love your videos, very informative and fun to watch!
As always, humble, inspiring and educational. I really look forward to your videos. Keep up your fantastic work, and watch out for the sneks. ; )
I didn't know your channel 6 months ago. Now it's one of the ones I look forward to. Every project blows me away. Thanks for sharing your talents.
You continue to inspire me. Great trick with the foil. Beautiful piece of kit you made there.
Great chisel, I could use that every day at work.
Quality job, you never fail to impress with your skills sir
A lovely job as always. I really enjoy your ingenuity and clever ways of getting around little 'problems' like e.g. how to easily polish a metal ring/band using a wooden cone shaped holder in the drill press, so I am always picking up very useful tips and tricks from your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I have an very old carpenters slick and it has come in handy a least half a dozen times a year. Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Such a beautiful chisel. Reminds me of an Auriou chisel, with the hand-made imperfections still there. You should make an entire set, that would look beautiful and a center piece of any tool collection. Great work!
That's a really nice looking chisel! May God Bless you and your family Greatly
Love the true workmanship. As one wood expect from hand forged tools some imperfections that make it unique. Enjoy your Chanel.
It looks amazing, what a creativity!
Really enjoy your channel.....very inventive and not afraid to try anything. This video brought back memories of my father, who was a blacksmith whenever he needed to be and was very good at it. Thanks.
A very handsome chisel. Thanks for sharing your work.
It is truly beautiful! Congrats
That's a beautiful chisel great job
Awesome job Neil! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Brilliant job on the chisiel well done.
Turned out great, thanks for sharing. Cheers
Always enjoy your videos Neil. This looks like a fun one.
A useful piece of art. Congrats on how it turned out!
Lovely job on the chisel Neil, you certainly haven't shied away from trying your hand at some advanced techniques, despite being relatively new to the craft. Thank you for sharing your experiences.
Nice chisel. Well done. I love the tip to use aluminium foil to get the shape of the inside of the socket. I have some socket chisels which need new handles so the tip will be useful. Dave.
Thanks! Glad it was useful! :)
It’s a great tip, I’ve heard of using plasticine but foil wouldn’t leave a residue.
Great job. Fun to watch.
I like your working style , the spanner calipers & tinfoil were great 👍
Neil, you are the MAN!
Mate! What an absolute corker! 👍 Schmicko build/forge, Neil. 👌
Gorgeous!
Absolutely amazing job Neil!!! I’m a timber framer by trade and I would be proud to use a tool like that! Another fantastic video brother! 😁🌲
Absolutely amazing!
Awesome as always Mr. Pask!
Beautiful great job looks awesome well done
Fine work. Great job.
great job Neil love it!
Nice work Neil! Thank you for sharing the video.👌👍😎JP
I happened to watch one of your older forging videos this morning. You’ve improved dramatically! Love the chisel, and as always thanks for sharing!
Thanks David - that's great to hear! :)
@@PaskMakes I agree, forge welding is not so simple. Congratz! Hmm... i think i will try making my own hook knife this week - will be doing blacksmith work for the first time ☺ My Mora knife is working ok, but it doesn't feel perfect. It's a bit too slim and i want to make a hook knife in a water drop shape, just like Lee Stoffer makes. Bought some charcoal today and i will make a simple forge Torbjorn style - in a box of sand with a little blower. THANK YOU AWESOME PEOPLE FOR SHARING IDEAS ON KZhead!♥
That was really great and conclusive proof of why machines were invented.
beautiful !! thanks for all your movies
Well done! Practice makes perfect, and you are getting better and better. Looking forward to your next creation.
Thanks very much Tom! :)
I like the way you start each new task in real time, let’s us slow minded keep up. Good video once again
That is one awesome chisel Neil! Well done.
That was cool! Fun project and you have a great attitude! "If the forge weld doesn't work, I'll grind it off and do it again." And it totally worked a dream. Well done!
So good Neil! Thanks for the video! Your blacksmithing is getting better! Keep it up.
Thanks very much Erik! :)
Well done. It looks good.
Beautiful job, well done.
Your videos have so much personality to them. Love everything you set your mind to.
Thanks very much Hakeem! :)
Beautiful work! You must be a proud man!
Awesome job!
Congrats on your success for your first time forge welding, another awesome project and video. very impressive chisel Mate !!
Great work, you created a beautiful tool!
That looks pretty... slick!
Wow that came out beautiful!
Nicely done.
Found your channel a few weeks ago. You are quite talented and have interesting projects. Thanks!
