Here I show 6 traditional methods blacksmiths would use to cut metal. The first is hot chiseling, use a sharpe chisel to cut through hot steel, cutting half-way through both sides. The second is using a hot cut. A hot cut is a chisel that goes into the hardy hole and the hot steel is hammered onto, to cut it. Do not strike the hot cut tool with your hammer! The 3rd is cold chiseling, using a chisel designed to cut into cold steel. This useful for patterns on sheet metal (eg, cutting out a leaf shape). The 4th is shear cutting with a chisel. The work piece is secured in a vise and the chisel driven across the top of the vise at a shallow angle to cut the steel. 5th is using old fashioned tin snips or shears. Useful for sheet metal. 6th is a fix mounted manual shear. This type of shear can have alot of cutting power, cutting sheet metal up to light plate.
