1/2" taper rebar drift punch

[Frank S]

Found another short piece of rebar today this time a 1/2" and 14" long figured it would go well with the previous one which is 3/8" and 9 inches long
This one I managed to turn the taper on the lathe then heat to cherry and quench it became hard enough to resist a file so I heated to light straw and air cooled it is pretty tough but not brittle Should complement my collection of punches.
I also have some 3/4" rebar and a piece of 1 1/2" rebar but think I might make other plans of them.
