- Forging a usable and nice looking hatchet out of a ball peen hammer! Possibly the coolest thing I forged so far if I do say so myself!
Thanks "Bespoke Bloke Designs" for the hammer head:

Shout out to all the other makers and blacksmith that did this! It sure is a lot of effort.

Index of operation and materials:
0:20 Coke forge
1:00 I'm not sure how to explain this as I'm no blackmith expert. Instead of time stamps I think it's better if I explain by words here:
I started with a heavy hammer flattening the side of the hammer that will become the blade.
Then I quickly realized the hammer was too heavy and not effective over the large area of the hammer head after the cilinder was flattened.
So switched to a cross peen and little by little I moved material around to reduce the big chunk of metal that was to hammer head into a wedge shaped blade. This took a long time and a lot of work.
Forging took me a day, a good 8 hrs of hammering! (so much fun but also exhausting).
Also, I kept adjusting where the metal moved by working the sides as well as shown here 2:18
For last I forge the spike where the ball side was.
3:10 I left the hatchet to annheal, cooling down very slowly with the forge to make it soft and easy to grind
3:20 Grind profile, spike, and edge on the 2x72 belt grinder
5:00 Quick normalize cycle just before hardening, probably not needed after annhealing but for sure won't hurt
5:50 Checking temperature with a magnet to reach critical (over non magnetic)
5:55 Quench in water to harden
6:10 Tempering with the forge by slowly heating to deep straw color (around 230°C)
I check the hardness that came between 50 and 55 on the Rockwell scale
6:42 Remove scales with wire wheel on bench grinder
7:07 Buff edge and spike to mirror finish with fine polishing compound and cotton wheel on the bench grinder (I did some hand sanding off camera)
I hope the handle part is self explanatory, if not say something in comments and I'll write more!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

Those types of attacks happen to UK firefighters and other emergency services too. Just the way the world is going.
If you're on the edge, go for Patreon, the voice overs are really good and very consistent! They give great insights into Gaders process and what didn't work... 👌🏼👍🏼
Black Beard Projects if someone were to send you a knife would you do a custom restoration ?
Hey mate that handle is backwards the palm swell is supposed to go on the front

Great work. Now really impress everyone and turn it back into a Ball Peen Hammer! :-)
Stolen
Ha! Good one
That would be... upsetting.
@@jasontodd4801 ahhh I see what you did there.
It's steel bro, not modeling clay 😂
My 5 year old and I watch these types of videos regularly, and I don't think I've seen one done with only hand tools. Love it! Very cool looking piece.
i never get tired watching this kind of videos.
Great work, awesome to see someone not just take a angle grinder and destroy the metal. Nice to see so much of the work done by hand too! Looks great
Prior to seeing this vid, the ball peen to tomahawk was my 1st real blackmith project. I'm glad I made mine like yours (processs and shape) its a great 1st project and very forgiving for a noob
Not only he created the awesome hatchet, but genuinely explained how he got the hammer and its not his original idea, such humility. I wouldnt know, i dont watch many such channels. There is no limit to this guys knowledge and creativity. From Forging to casting, leather works to wood works, painting to polishing, hammering to soldering, welding to woodturning to etc etc... i dont even know the number of terms he is expert in. Hats off!
A very beautiful hatchet. I'm very inspired to build a forge at my home and start smithing.
I used to buy old tool heads from my buddy who owned a scrap yard for 10 cents a pound. I've made 12 or 15 ball-peens into hatchets just like you! Good work!
That's so cool that you use stuff that you repair or done to repair or make stuff.
So satisfying to watch!
Beautiful piece, love the tail spike.
I have a strong admiration for a humble man and the fireman also, I scribed. I like to keep up with who made the hammers that usually gets lost but you can also trace back the steel.Thx
i'm going to give this a go myself. i still have some old hammerheads laying around. thank you for the inspiration.
This guy is talented! I enjoy all his videos
That's bad ass. Best ball pin conversion so far. Great job
That turned out great. I wouldn’t have thought to do that, cool idea.
Thanks...
Love the nubby spike lol soooooo sweet.
Very nice hatchet and a good use of a old tool .
A nice project! Inventive use for an old hammer head.
Beautiful, I can imagine myself going to Valhalla with this hatchet. Awesome work man, I'll see your other stuff inmediately
With that axe valhalla can wait
The balance here between rough and fine finishing is fantastic! Just beautiful!
I really like the handle shape of that hatchet. Nice work.
I didn't start the day thinking I wanted to learn about axe making, but here I am.
Great craftsmanship Sirji
very nice... You're projects are always the best... I'm happy to see that you got a new par of work gloves
Thank you! Grandma Christmas gift
Sweet , like your style and the way you left it with with natural marks and haven't buffed it all up . All the best from a UK metal sculptor.
Right on good job ! Love seeing it done old school with raw muscle and 🔥 !!
It's good to see someone making use of these hammers, which are a glut on the market and would go for scrap.
Not only did I enjoy~ you showed me better ways to making hatchets? Thank you.
A lovely bit of work there. Well done
Thank you for the video, and all the other videos you make for us. You're amazing!
Idk why i love to watch videos like this
I have fell in love with that vise...
Damn he can hammer really fast! Lol
David McKiernan I think he’s related to Woody Woodpecker
@@badlandskid haha that or the roadrunner
Amazing video it is inspiring me as a young blacksmith to get new ideas and new methods, thanks for the great content!
Very Nice Job Brother👍
Much Whack Whack, No Yack Yack. I like that!
Of course no Yacks. This is metal forging channel not wildlife. Yacks have nothing to do with this.
@@Repented008 Those are Yaks Not Yacks. Please make a note of it. Derp
@@cheif10thumbs Ok, geeze so you Americans spell it differently, what's your point? There's still a long way between shaggy oxen and forging. That's what I'm saying!
@@Repented008 Yack Yack refers to the act of talking too much. You Boob! Stay in Skrool.
@@cheif10thumbs 😂😂😂
Great work there Bro.
A real blacksmith .. Nicely Done 🌷
Maestro!!!
Very Nice Hatchet ! Great handle design !
I wish I had workshop like you and I work like you, because I do not want work for others, I mean I'm doing job in a company,
Take care sir, thank you
I got a forge for Christmas this year this is the first thing I'm going to do with it
So relaxing. Great build.
He black beared, it's really wonderful
Congratulations on a great job.
Thanks for the video.
Magnifico este projeto , dificil e ainda assim ficou com um ótimo acabamento . Parabéns
Londrina-Paraná-Brasil.
Cool project, that turned out great. Good Work.
Love the tool Marks.

Awesome work BB 👍👍👍👍
By far one of my favorites
Beautiful work , as usual!
I real like the look of this hatchet !
Very Cool Hatchet !!!!!!!!!
All of it such an honest work! Quality work.
Good job Black Beard! Its a GOOD American Hatchet, now turn the Handle around.
(Sets up board to show how sharp axe is.) ×wack× (board breaks) Dammit!! 🤣🤣🤣
Dam! Thats a true blue sharp axe. Went through the wood like nothing. Id love to have something that cool
Great work
Straight to it! I like that
When you heat for quench, put a steel tube inside the forge. It'll heat evenly without flipping and contain heat if you blocked off, but I can see that for the camera
A very uniquely satisfying video..👍
perfect work
Perfect for bushcraft or camping, nice work!
Very nice, thanks for the post 📯
GREATWORK!!!!!
Absolutely Beautiful
Old hammer evolved... In a cool axe!
That's an amazing work of art👍🗡️
Old Hammer in the Axe Nice Man
Beautiful! I'll never toss an old ball peen again! Watching you make the handle brought back a flood of memories, my first job was a carpenter, I repaired furniture for a university. I spent many hours carving down square stock to match chair arms and legs, the exact same way you just showed. Thank you.
Excellent work!
Excellent work

A workmate gave me a 2 pound ball pein, without handle. Now it will become a Hatchet. Awesome job with the build. I follow Johnny on Instagram.
