Blacksmithing - Forging a Rounding Hammer by Hand

I've wanted to switch out my old rounding hammer for a heavier one for quite a while now. Not only to get a heavier one but also one with a wider hammer face and more round on the rounding side.
This here is my first attempt at making such a hammer and I'm quite pleased with the end result. Forging out the metal wedges for the hammer, it felt really nice and smooth to use and I'm looking forward to testing it even more!
Thanks for watching!

Mate that's brilliant I really need to try this myself cause that hammer turned out perfect

[@MakeNCreate]

I'll be looking forward to seeing your attempt mate! Thank you :D

[@pyrow465]

I guess you could say that's a well rounded hammer I hate myself

[@christoffelgous8368]

Awesome Man why that was the best joke ever!

[@horacegentleman3296]

Don't feel alone, we hate you too.

[@clickeracount7845]

No I thought it was funny your awesome man. Hahaha!!

[@АндрейПлавский]

Wow. Thats brilliant !and looks pretty doable!!!! Finally great craft without a power hammer !

[@pheonixmann1114]

I'm slightly disappointed you didn't make it from scratch. But I'm also happy you got to use your new Hardy tool

[@MakeNCreate]

I get that but in my defense I'd have to spend a bunch of money and time to buy some steel, only to punch a hole in it.

[@pheonixmann1114]

@@MakeNCreate true. I have a 3/4 inch plate that I cut a few rectangles in and weld then forge weld. Takes forever but well worth it. But yours still looks better than mine

[@marciodr1963]

Fico pensando como alguém que parece tão jovem tem tanto conhecimento e domínio de tantas técnicas e as pratica com tanta perícia... Você deve ser algum "imortal", e tem feito suas peças já há uns duzentos anos... 😮

They are here. And I believe some of them don't know who they are. He's probably one of them.

[@JustinTopp]

Reforging hammers is a great thing to do! I make mine from scratch but not everyone wants to do that. I just forged a 4.75 lb rounding hammer by hand and that took like 3 days haha

[@SharpWorks]

Beautiful work! I love the details you put into it with the hammered finish on the sides and the wood burned handle. Really well made!

[@MakeNCreate]

Thank you very much!

Nice job mate, looks like you need to make a stand for that swage block! Keep up the good work

[@MakeNCreate]

I do! I got the steel for it just need to practice my welding first ;) Thanks mate!

That's a beautiful piece of Ash wood you used for the handle, it's harder to find where I'm at... Do you have trouble with the Emerald Ash beetle in Denmark?

[@carsonmiller2865]

Amazing work as always my friend

His giant Bowie knife was awesome too and his silver dagger was wicked But too sharp to cutting a paper just like that

is longer soaking time in oil affect the oil penetration into the wood?

[@CryptoAce]

Great work & awesome Death Grips hoodie!! You inspire me brother

[@andyollom3831]

I somehow misread your channel's name as "Cream N' Cake"... lol I'm not hungry... I just had breakfast.

[@mikeboone4425]

Well done as all ways, May be a little thinner on the metal wedges the splitting of the halve is bad news over time. Here in California you could never get away with no belt guard on your forge there would be a swat team surrounding your house . Just kidding but were not fare away from that with our over regulations . Happy Trails stay safe in the shop.

realy nice hammer! the roundind face what purpose does it serve?

[@tyreldalzell1489]

To make the bevels

[@MakeNCreate]

Less surface area when hitting the the steel so you can place a lot more force on one spot compared to a flat hammer head.

great stuff! although starting with a hammer is kinda cheating. And adding your touch mark should really be the last thing you do to the metal, it is supposed to be the a declaration of the product being finished, right? Also making the handle from complete scratch is GREAT!

Not cheating, it's smart
