Homemade Carving Gouges - Made from a Hacksaw Blade

I recently gave block printing a go and found that I needed a small gouge. The carving chisels I already own don't include a small enough gouge - a 4mm was the smallest. So I decided to give making my own a go. They turned out a bit rustic looking but they work very well indeed and they are definitely worth making.

I didn't do a great job of tempering the blades as I took them a little too far - stopping at straw is where I should've been but ended up at purple/blue. Tempering in the oven would've been a much better option for these small blades. I'm sure they will still be fine though, I've already used them a fair bit and they're holding an edge nicely.

I hope you enjoy the video and as always I'm happy to answer any questions.
