Old 3/4"chisel needs a handle
Any tips or best practices for making one
I will be using with a steel hammer more often than not

Phil,
Did you see this thread:

Looks like a 3/4" chisel from the same source.
The last post Mike Henderson says a bit about how he made his handle.

Why is this called a new old stock chisel? I would just call it an old handleless chisel.

I would make a traditional octagonal handle with no ferrule. You don't need a ferrule with a big bolster like that.

It's important to start with a piece that's bigger than you need, so you can adjust if the chisel leans to one side after you drill the hole. To taper the first 4 sides, I like to mark out the taper and then split most of the waste off cross-grain with a chisel--very fast. Then clean up with a small plane Then mark out the other 4 sides, pare most of the waste away, and clean up again with a small plane.

There is a you tube video of a guy who replaces the handles of Aldi chisels you might want to watch.
