Dale, that is a basic beginner activity that is covered in just about every beginner level blacksmithing book. Have a look at the following books and sources. This is a "canned" reply I have, so the books may or may not have chisels in them. You will have to look.

What detail do you need? I've made a few - one for me and some for friends. I used scrounged old truck coil springs. Cut off a ring, heat in forge, straighten and forge business end, cut to length, harden and temper.
I've used mine for chipping concrete as well as the usual uses. My son-in-law is a mechanic and had broken three Snap-on cold chisels when I gave him one of mine. This was several years ago. He says it's getting to the point where it may soon need its first sharpening.
E-mail me if you need more.
