Did you know that you can make a really strong chisel out of rebar? I learned this trick way back in the beginning when I first started working as an ironworker. Someone told me that the best way to sharpen metal is with metal. Rebar is one of the strongest materials. It can be strong enough to pierce right through concrete. I found a leftover piece of 12-in rebar. I found the directions online to make a chisel. It took a lot of work to form a chisel at the end of the rebar. I made a leather handle on the other side and the piece of rebar turned out to look a lot like a crowbar. I use the chisel anytime I have a project. It has never broken at all and it always gets the job done. I can break open a piece of granite in a few seconds using the strong piece of steel rebar. Rebar is kind of a cool piece of steel, because it can be used in a lot of unique ways. It can be used for art, because it is very easy to shape into different angles and sizes. Rebar is perfect for sculpting. It is also a great way to practice forging. Rebar is perfect to use for iron gates. I saw someone make a backyard gate that was fully made out of rebar and rebar tie wire. It looked amazing when it was done. There are so many uses for leftover pieces of rebar and they can easily be found at a recycling plant near you.
