|BLACKSMITH| Makes 27LB stone crushing hammer!

[@jonathantuffin9888]

I’ve watched quite a lot of your videos and saw how delicate the Massey can be…but this video showed how much of a BEAST the Massey really is. Awesome video. Awesome hammer.

[@threeriversforge1997]

Paul Beisler's a good guy, and that A33 alloy is really wonderful as a punch/drift/hammer because it doesn't need to be heat-treated like you expect. Making a stone-cutting tool is tough because the stone is so abrasive. The stone being soft, you'd think you could get away with a softer heat-treat, but the abrasive quality really eats away at the steel. If they're doing a lot of stone walls, I could easily see that hammer coming back to the shop in a year so it can be re-pointed after they wear an inch off the end!

Damn dude that's a serious block of steel and a serious hammer. Nice work

[@danielmoss2089]

Thanks buddy. Next time you up we should make something big.

[@TobyFireandSteel]

@@danielmoss2089 sounds like a plan brother. Like a sculpture of your head 😁

[@TalRohan]

Thats a beast ...beautifully made...doesn't have to be small to be beautiful.

[@tomfarrow710]

Fantastic job, I really like the looks of the hammer. Nice lines that flow to the point. Keep up the good work

[@mtyson9004]

Wow that’s huge! Great job Dan and company! God Bless you guys!

[@brianfalls5894]

Man oh man is that a lot of work! Great job on the hammer but I can't even imagine how long it took to make that hammer. Well done sir!!!! And to your helpers too.

[@AMBOSS_Silesia]

Hey Daniel, it's an awesome little piece of steel! Don't worry about it's hardness, C45 is hardened to around 50-52 of Rockwell scale and files are usually up to 62 HRC, so the file would always bite a little into the C45 stuff. Best regards from blacksmith to a blacksmith 😊 Greg

[@toddellner5283]

So basically you're using Superquench in the heat treat. Also, I *hope* they're using it more like a big stone chisel. Swinging that thing for a few hours would be "Hello and goodbye, Mister Rotator Cuff."

[@MinionsSmithy]

Damn, I say! Well done, Sir! That is one fine looking rock hammer!!!!

[@charminghollowforge1109]

An arduous task with three men let alone making one 26.5 lbs with two handles alone.

[@danielmoss2089]

I should think so. We need a chat and I'm in any way shape or form trying to shaft you bro. Love ya. X

[@deanhooks4474]

Nice work, great narrative!

[@1clinkerman]

Wonderful job! But I have to ask why all the striker work instead of on the hammer?

[@jovonrosen8417]

Nice one Dan, tough to quench something with that much mass quickly enough I suppose! Awesome hammer, bet the guy is stoked.

[@shanemeadows8269]

Awesome work men! Really enjoyed watching.

[@hammeredanvil7377]

Impressive mate. Awesome

[@drason69]

Ba-Bam! If "storm breaker", was a real hammer, I'm sure that would be IT. ⚒️🔥👍

[@shy1509]

You could also use this as a hand held trip hammer

[@louislarose6613]

Awesome Hammer !

[@bsforge]

I swear that thing was screaming “NOOOOOOOOOOO!” the second time around!(12:36 or so)!😜 Great job as always, brother!

[@bunyanforgings7849]

Hi Dan. Your power hammer just has flat dies and seems to do fine with drawing out steel. Would there be any advantage to using combination dies with one half curved for faster (l assume) drawing out?

[@waltparkhurst2494]

Awesome job.. By any chance is the owners name of this beautiful piece. John Hennery ?

[@erikcourtney1834]

Good thing Massey is a big ol girl. That’s a huge chunk of steel

[@michaelrobertson8795]

I actually got a vintage one of those that needs repair but not the gumption to swing it

[@dadratsforge]

How long did it take to heat that billet?? Mahoosive piece of kit!!

[@danielmoss2089]

About 30mins or so.

[@83gt17]

How long did the initial heat take? Hell of a lump of steel.

[@ping170]

This poor baby has been screaming like crazy when you attempted to drown it around 13:00 ! :D

[@expatconn7242]

Massive trick tool

[@bentoombs]

Lmao. That's crazy. Think how many flips I can do with that hammer🤣🤣🤣 That was no problem for Kitty. Great job guys👏👏👏 How long in-between heats? I bet that held for a long time.

[@denikoki]

Was that stonemason named Thor?

[@mikejulianoferreiro7654]

Kinda small piece of steel, yessir!

[@danielmoss2089]

I'm not trying to prove a thing hahhhaa

[@jameshesco2904]

I like that burn on the bald man's head. Looks like it hurt!!!

[@davosfirebeard4495]

Ridonculous xD Well done lads

[@bigoldgrizzly]

I used to have a 28lb Mundy Hammer. It had a Hammer face one end and a blunt wedge shape on the other. It was on a handle about 2 foot three long and was used by swinging underhand, to break up castings in a foundry. Not the sort of thing anyone in their right mind would swing overhead - other than youngsters displaying macho tendencies - A handful of swings and they were knackered, while old George would plod on with a 14 all shift and not break sweat.

[@jotoole6170]

How much was this 😳 monster Daniel I would love to have one for my shop it's definitely a work of art excellent video

[@danielmoss2089]

Email me and we can about a price. Thank you it was epic to make.

[@desibodybuilder8453]

how is the hamar machine in weight in loha thurai can you please

[@lenblacksmith8559]

Nice one would have loved to see it splitting some rock. I reckon it will no problems. Cheers Dan.

[@stanervin6108]

I'd hate it if the boss handed me that beast and told me that my new position calls for swinging that thing for ten hours every day!

[@majedbeygi-qd6lr]

Hi, How Much is it...🙏

[@danielmoss2089]

£280 I think need to check the cost. That's plus shipping

[@davidlong3824]

Another nice job I bet he will get tired swinging that all day.

[@brysonalden5414]

Thank goodness your power hammer was working! That would have been, um, nearly impossible without it.

[@danielmoss2089]

Sure would and I wouldn't have taken the job if not. Thanks for the comment.

[@deanfelton3699]

Splitting hammer...usually strike it with another hammer...

[@michaelrobertson8795]

Hey Brother

[@dougbones79]

That’s a anvil on a stick. Lol

[@lovejcdc]

That thing looks like a cross peen hammer for Paul Bunyan lol great video

[@ValhallaIronworks]

Weirdest looking drawknife I've ever seen, mate! 😂

Go Big or go home.

[@danielmoss2089]

Hell yeah

[@stanervin6108]

@@danielmoss2089 Wouldn't mind seeing a video of that thing in action. Heck, I'd like to see the person that uses it more than 20 swings at a time! 💪
