I part-time in blacksmithing and have to say that your forging a Japanese-style dog head hammer is a great example of fine craftsmanship. Thank you for your video.
What a gorgeous hammer. I absolutely don’t need it but totally want one
That's right
I don't even have a dog and I want one of these hammers now
WoW shit same
True words spoken by a man. That hammer we dont need it but we want it!
Didn't understand how u got the color? Amazing work love those Japanese hammers! Any Japanese tools are amazing smart people!
If we could tell to the February/2020 Black Beard how """easyly""" December/2021 Black Beard made this Japanese style dog head hammer, he would cry of joy. And probably would be so proud, and would say: You're welcome for the tools.
For real! 🤣
@@BlackBeardProjects what's special about a doghead hammer? Is it more efficient for its size because of the forward weight?
You have an excellent mind for designing these projects of yours!!
The colors that came out during the temper cycle are breath taking! Amazing job!!!
Man that is beautiful. Love that you left the tempered patina on it. Looks like you picked up out of a fire.
Looks like a hammer
God Damn it its Gorgeous!
time to go nbother my friend again to get his shop for a day this holiday.. I don't know why would I need a hammer like this but I sure as hell am I gonna try to make one now
great job man!
I love how it made with common household tools. This video came up under that category.
With the right tools from good quality steel, it's so easy to work well
Absolutely 💯 love that hammer! I would love to own something exactly like that someday. Excellent job friend and I hope you are happy and healthy.
Has anyone ever tested if there’s really a difference between a doghead style and a European traditional sledge? Does it put more energy?
Doghead style gets more views since its an even more made up name
@@samditto what?
This pretentious blacksmith shit is so goofy
Not sure what you're going on about because it seems like an obscure but definitely actual hammer type
Apparently they're good for precise finishing work because the weight on the front means it tends to correct itself on the way down
Good job!
Have you considered making a balisong/butterfly knife? I think it would be a really cool project to work on and nice to watch too.
That is an astonishingly gorgeous hammer. I would be afraid to use it
Well done. You could go into business selling those. Seriously.
Never has the word 'gorgeous' been used so often - and so appropriately! What a thing of beauty; the charred handle and the tempered head are a match made in heaven - THE most beautiful of all your projects so far - well done!
Very Well Done! I would brush the wood to increase the rough surface, so the grain comes better out.
I loved that transition when you were filing the handle hole to size because it showed just how big a difference a little time filing made
Beautiful. Is it just the heat treating that gives it that lovely color, or is there something special about the kind of steel that does that?
Amazing skill
Beautiful color in the metal!
So glad this dude uses time lapses...
I dont wanna hear every step of the process, HOW its made, or WHY someone does certain things. I just wanna watch it start from a piece of metal and turn into something.
I was stunned by the beauty of this piece. Incredible!
that mark...I saw when you made that mark
I'm glad you left it
that's why I like you
You are a real human being
a man worth fighting for, a man to die for...
more importantly
a man to LIVE for...
happy winter blessings to you, me brudder
you are a special one, for sure
only an old soul can be that real
This video had me absolutely gripped. Love the way you film things too. Great work
Very well manufactured and equally tasteful in appearance. Brilliant work.
Absolutely stunning! I live the temper blueing colours and finish on the handle. Wedges were pretty satisfying too!
It's so nice to watch blacksmithing while I probably cannot ever even try it but maybe someday if all stars align well hehe
What you forge is not a tool, it is an magnificent art of the iron age.
Very nice 👍 looks like a good one for the collection.
The temper colors are gorgeous! It looks like a pretty big hammer made for strong persuasion ;)
Simply beautiful. I loved the color most 👌🏻🌟 Thank you for sharing with us ⚒️🗜️✌🏻
Beautiful hammer. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Great job, thank you brother. You are so talented
What a fantastic hammer and the finish was next level.
I love the contrasting colours. Absolutely beautiful piece of art
NIce. I love the look of the oxide colors from the heat treating. With that black handle you have made a real good looking tool.
everything you do is fantastic and the quality is amazing
That thing's gorgeous!
I love everything about it. The dog head design, THE COLOR! Just amazing.
Your skills are amazing now...!!! If only I was as good. Great hammer.
That finish looks amazing!
Beautiful looking tool, excellent workmanship
That looks amazing!! Very well done!!
That's a awesome hammer thank you two thumbs up
Very nice well made ideal little hammer !! I really like the handle !! Great job 👍👍

You should add strong magnets under that big *ss anvil! Works wonders for minimalizing the ringing! Veeeery pretty hammer!

What an amazing finish on the hammer head. That is gorgeous. Well done, sir. Well done!
Martelo perfeito para usar com a nova bigorna. Parabéns.
Fabulous hammer and great video as usual!
The color you were able to produce on the head was beautiful. Thank you for all of your interesting work.🔨

Очень удобны в работе такие молоточки. Good job👍
PERFEITO!
GÊNIO!
VALEU.
I Love your tools, the fastest hammer in town :) beautiful work too. count me in.
The colour of the hammer head is amzzing
The temper color looks great as a finish!
Quality workmanship. Just wondering what advantage that type of hammer offers compared to traditional medal working hammers?
You have asked the key question. This is my opinion, many will disagree. I’ve tried such a hammer on a few occasions. They are awkward. Our “western” hammer evolved from a stone ax in several separate cultures. Every one had a symmetrical head with the haft centrally located. Except Japan. China, Korea all had “normal” tools. That Japanese hammer is very hard to hit a square blow with, it wants to twist on impact.
This statement is true of other uniquely Japanese tools. The saw, plane and so forth. The commonality I see in Japanese tools is extreme frugality of metal, especially good steel. The Japanese sword, katana, is a perfect example. Only a tiny insert that is the cutting edge is steel, the rest is soft iron. Elaborate welding and forging techniques must be employed to make a functional blade. The Japanese substituted excessive labor and developed complicated techniques to compensate for a lack of basic resources.
Today’s modern workers recognized this skill and marvel at the complexity of technique. But don’t clearly understand that “complex” is not always “wonderful”. There is a large element of fad in our appreciation of all things Japanese. Not knocking the Japanese. Just providing perspective.
Now to this hammer. An original one, an Ozuku I think they are called was not made of a single piece of steel. Rather the hammer was mostly very low quality iron with significant slag. Then a small thin bit of steel, poor quality steel by our standards, was intricately set and welded into the face of the hammer and tempered. These hammers wore out quickly and had to be reforged several times in the working life of a Japanese smith. That design gave a functional hammer with the least investment in material at a huge cost in labor and creative design.
Had Mr Beard actually made such a hammer not just in form but as originally made his 10 minute video would run two hours. Thus in Japan you have “traditional” smiths who follow the “old ways”. But when they want to get a job done, as in a factory, they use modern tools of “western” design. Hope that answers your question.
@@MrJento That is a very lenghty and educating reply there. Thank you for that!
@@schlappesaascher Some might say long winded. Your welcome.
@@MrJento I was trying to figure out the advantage to such weight imbalance myself. It would tend to twist when swung, requiring strength and grip on the part of the operator. The advantage I can see is it would be much more stable during and immediately after the strike than a symmetrical hammer. Maybe for chisel work? Beautiful build in the video!
@@lironmtnranch4765
Yes. Very nice work. But read my comment. It’s not stable on or after the strike. For little taps, yes. But put some muscle on it and your follow through will roll it right or left with the subsequent “owl eyes” left in the work. Try one sometime.
What a beautiful hammer! Love it! 👍🏻
A true piece of art. Well done.
Totally love the color!!
Great job. The Dog Head hammer was also used in Northern Europe in the Ancient Past, its not specific to only Japan.
My wrist hurt just watching the power hammer work!
It's gorgeous.
Wow! Very cool!
I love this bronze color!!
That hammer looks more like a design study, or an art piece than an actual tool. I absolutely love it. And it’d look as good in a metal shop as it would on display in a bookshelf or on a stand. Great work! Absolutely gorgeous!
Excellent work 👍👍👍 . Thanks for sharing
I have a really old hammer head in my house like this. I suspect my grandfather made it.
Wonder when he made it, could be between 1914 to 1980
At sawmill we use that kind hammers to tension circular sawmill blades. We also has hammers wich has / and \ impact ends. If i remember right these heads for untesion circular saw blades.
Looks great!
Beautiful. Well done!
Great project as usual
That is so cool. I love its shape
Very cool well done.
Doghead hammers are amazing tools
You're a talent and skill is just amazing
Love the Dog head hammer!
Amazing,please share a wrench restoration🤩
It's a Master piece !
عمل جيد وجميل تشكر وكنت اود ان تشرح اكثر طريقة السقاية او التقسية بالحرارة والماء وكذالك نوع الخشب الذي استعملته ليد المطرقة
Fantastico! È particolare di vedere un' incudine fatta in una città vicina mia in Francia (Firminy). Ma è ancora piu incredibile di scoprire che il fabbro usandola è un' italiano che vive vicino a la mia casa famigliare in Italia. Keep up the good work.

I don’t need a blacksmithing hammer for anything but I want this one
Well done!!
Lovely colour to the head...very nice indeed...want one..
Best looking hammer I've ever seen
2:18 I honestly thought you only turned it 90° for a second and about shit my pants! Hahaha great build dude 👏
That's a beautiful purple color!
Much nicer than the one you made two years ago.
Well done looks beautiful!
A work of art👏👏👏
Your hammers looks like premium skins from games. If you etched your logo on the side, it would be even better.
Bravo, ottimo lavoro!
Beautiful Hammer Love The Color!!!
