How do I restore a broken chisel

A very long time I was lying around the old broken chisel. The handle was broken off at the root. I have no welding, the welder is also a friend, and other ideas for a long time there was no chisel continued to fall down at me without handles.

And she caught my eye again. I twirled her and thought that chisels are usually hardened cutting edge and the tail should be soft. Tried shank Drill and tap - out.

Next prepared beech bar for the handle and cut at angles to get the octahedron.

This make it easier to handle in the future.

Then estimated arm length handles with regard to drill its center, which I have drills.

Once I drilled a hole in the future handle, insert the threaded rod 6 mm and fix it all in a drill press took up the shape of the handle.

First, rough processing rasp.

Then bring sandpaper.

A further pin curled into a chisel, put the knob nut tightened and cut off the excess.

Remaining closed nut piece blank for the handle. Drilled hole under it and stuck to the main handle.

On the sander is shaped glued parts.

And here was such a chisel.

Someone might say, not easier to just buy a chisel. Certainly easier, but you know, there is still a pleasure to work and chisel to this attitude I have totally different.
