Default Making a handle and a shaft

In shop class in 1985 or 86, we made a ballpeen hammer and center punch
set. Formed on the lathe, and then case hardened. Learned to use the 3
and 4 jaw chucks, knurl, drill, thread, polish, etc. I don't think they
teach kids stuff like that anymore. Just last night I dug out a Modern
Metalworking text book from 1965, alot of interesting info in there for
sure.
