I Forged a Cross Peen Hammer from Scratch

  • Опубликовано: 19 авг 2024
  • In this video I try my best at forging a cross peen hammer, something that I rarely do.
    I did try two new techniques in this video that may or may not be of interest to you. The first one is the "pilot holes" technique, for punching the eye, and I gotta say, it was pretty good. The eye came out very straight and it was very easy to punch. The downside is that it takes a little while to set up and drill. The second technique that I tried was the separate hardening of the face and peen of the hammer. It worked out alright but it took a little bit too long in my opinion. The idea is that you want to keep the eye section as tough as possible, but you could do that by over tempering that section as well. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video!

    I’ve hated the notion of a pilot hole for a long time. I have made many great hammers without a pilot. However, I have come to appreciate the idea lately. It gives more than a good chance of centering the eye. I also embrace hand forging. But I always do as much as possible under a powerhammer. Including punching the eye. I’m old. I’m mad. And I detest work that my tools can do for me. Nils just showed us excellent work!

These hammers are up there with the axes you make, all functional and all things of beauty.

    I don't need a hammer-at-this-time so I'm sitting this one out. I don't really care what you make, so make what you need or want. It's just relaxing to watch the bright hot metal go darker and darker as you shape it it, and have the process repeat until "the thing" has emerged from it's hiding inside a basic shape. It was there all the time but it took flames and hammer strokes to lure it out. Same reason I watch Thorbjörn's channel.

It's a little smaller than I would have liked, but it turned out great. It would be awesome to have a quality hammer so I hope I am the lucky one chosen.
