This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the Straw badge in Metalworking.

Need to do some timber framing but don't have the tools?  Let's forge a chisel!

 
 

Here's a gentleman showing us one way to do it:


Minimum requirements:
  - Forge a woodworking chisel (handle not required for this BB)
  - Any style is ok as long as it's for use on wood (carving, slick, lathe work, etc)
  - Visibly sharp
  - Made from hard steel

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
  - The project underway
  - The finished project
 
Note to self: don't get into a fist fight with a cactus. Command this tiny ad to do it:
