Lol bedecked. I remember having to make a cold chisel in first year senior school, from piece of hex bar. All done on a forge and anvil, with case hardening and tempering heat treatments. Quite an experience for an 11 year old, the heat from the forge being quiet scary. No goggles in them days lol.
Health and Safety wouldn't allow our 11 year olds near a hammer these days, never mind a forge and red hot steel :)
