This morning during session we had a small warm up

exercise to make a woodcutting tool to put in a vice, Im going to do a 

five step quick guide to making it.

1. First off you need a piece of 16 mm bar about 150 mm long, it can be either square or round but it is much easier with square. 
2. Using the Hardy hole as a guide mark off along the bottom of the anvil, draw down the bar at this point, keep checking the sides to keep it square more for style than anything else
3. Once you have done this clench then heat the other end of the bar, over the edge of the anvil hammer it down on both sides, spreading the bar into a sort of fish tail shape.
4. Keep drawing down this end till it is quite thin on the end, at this point you want to get a heat across the fish tail side of bar, bring out of the fire and straight into the bosh and clench it to stregthen it.
5. To finish file the top of the fish tail into a shape point to make it eaiser to splitting the metal.

What it should look like when its finished.
