Repousse Tools
The twists were done while the piece was in a vice and heated to a bright cherry red with a torch. A pair of pliers with the jaws ground smooth was used to grip and turn the piece while hot. The others were struck with a blunt tool while at a dull red temperature.

Here's a selection of some of the chasing/repousse tools I've made. They're made from blank drill rod of different sizes. Drill rod or drill bit steel is an excellent tool steel with a high carbon content and is a great choice for these kinds of tools and stamps. They were hot forged on an anvil, hardened by heating to a bright cherry red in the forge and then quenched in used motor oil and lastly they were tempered using a torch flame. Hardening made them extremely hard but very brittle. Brittle to the point that if one was dropped on a concrete floor it could very well shatter to pieces. Tempering puts the right amount of flexibility back into the steel without losing the proper hardness. The shapes were finalized with a grinder, a file and a belt sander after the hardening and before the tempering. They were brought to a blemish free mirror finish by using emery cloth, sandpaper, and various compounds on a high speed buffing wheel after they were tempered. Hammers, knives, screw drivers, drill bits, pliers, you name it-they're all hardened and tempered for specific uses. The major difference is they're done in a temperature controlled oven.
