Engraved Hammer from [100yr old] Anchor Chain

[@puppetmaster4235]

Don’t know if it’s been said yet but I genuinely appreciate the music being toned down in the background, I’ve always enjoyed hearing the work being done. 👍

[@angelbelialmardukkurios6733]

Metal of course

[@jessereid8482]

FRRRRRRR!!!

[@garetkonigsfeld2]

I think it's really rare when something is made on youtube that can be considered an heirloom pice. But at least to me that is an heirloom pice who ever ends up with that hammer will keep it in their family for generations. Really nice work thanks for sharing.

[@ThatWorks]

Garet Konigsfeld thanks for watching !

[@nodjr1595]

I always love it when you guys do cool things like engraving, its an interesting process and you dont even need to always do inlays.

[@ThatWorks]

This one called for it though dont you think ?

[@anthonygreatsinger4995]

I loved the little tips and reasoning in the top left corner

[@Aleeknives]

I appreciate it also

[@ThatWorks]

We will continue to add more of those !

[@Beegrene]

If you need a hammer to forge a hammer, where did the first hammer come from?

[@ThatWorks]

The Egg !

[@jgwentworthh]

A rock I'd imagine

[@Aleeknives]

Now that is the conundrum!

[@zacktoor1591]

Well... the first hammers may have been cast bronze.

[@wangtoriojackson4315]

Yo dawg, I heard you like forging hammers, so I forged you a hammer so you can forge hammers with the hammer.

[@stevene6181]

Ilya is an amazing blacksmith. I remember seeing him on forged in fire and knew that there was no way he wouldn't win that episode.

[@monkeking8604]

I think he should be the judge instead

[@raphaeljacobmendoza9893]

hell yeah i saw it too i was like "nah do you guys know who tf that long haired man is? cause you guys are bouta get wrecked".

[@murphygay3050]

R there KZbin vids of that?

[@Fr1g1d_Blaz3]

I gotta find this

[@Lobomaru02]

When I saw him on that episode I called it that he would win.

[@Fushione]

The engraving reminds me of Edo period Tsubas I saw in a museum in Venice Italy, beautifully detailed with a high contrast due to the nature of the inlays ! We’ll done Ilya the hammer is mind blowing !

[@olympic-gradelurker]

considering the materials and craftsmanship that went into this Hammer, $2,200 is not a bad asking price.

[@Aleeknives]

I agree!

[@JakOTheShadows]

Super reasonable, for something that was completely done by hand. Especially the engraving, good engraving is EXPENSIVE, the gold is probably one of the cheaper parts of this

[@sarojolibois6088]

And that anchor iron is very old and almost carbon free iron, which is more expensive than some high quality steels nowadays (at least in my country)

[@JakOTheShadows]

@@sarojolibois6088 makes sense, I didn't even consider that

[@ThatWorks]

I keep telling Ilya that they should be more. It’s a tool yes but it is also a stand alone piece of collectible art

[@shadowofchaos8932]

It's crazy he taught himself to engrave and then made his own tools for his engraving!

[@jerrieyum]

I love everything you guys do. There’s no shame in your game. It’s all just pure talent. That was a beautiful hammer from an amazing source.. There will be a beautiful story attached to that build. I never have to worry about you guys manufacturing drama so that you can stretch out videos on builds. You’re just that damn good and I appreciate you for it!💃🏾💃🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯

[@Aleeknives]

Agreed!

[@monkeking8604]

They don't need drama cause they have enough skill to entertain us

[@ryanjones8757]

My only complaint is that you guys are too good! I have to go elsewhere to see how to fix the problems I run into. Lol. Maybe a video or two where you show how to fix common forging/grinding mistakes?

[@boringbar5379]

I do Think that it is not good to show grinding without a repirator

[@Aleeknives]

We all make mistakes! I show mine😂 and then I show how I did them also!

[@tacitus5665]

Maybe Raid is just a cover for a charitable Billionaire or a charity project who really likes sponsoring KZbinrs

[@Jameslawz]

​@@tacitus5665 Mobile gaming is huge in Asia (India, China, Japan), every western company wants to penetrate that market and control the mobile gaming space, that's how you earn your billions. The amount of gamers there trumps any console/PC gamer here and micro transactions is how these company feed and prey on their consumers. Mobile gaming is not as popular here in the west, but companies are trying to build traction or at least build a portfolio of players before entering the "global" ... * cough * ...Asia market and get rich. If they get big enough, sooner or later they will have to cross paths with Tencent, who will most likely buyout their competition.

[@biblicallyaccuratecockroach]

A hammer has no right to be this beautiful. Especially when it's functional. Ilya kills it again.

[@Maxbroforce]

Absolutely stunning work! It's cool enough watching raw materials transformed into tools or blades but Ilya's engraving and inlaying is top tier!

[@Kyle-gw6qp]

I don't care what you make next so long as the videos are this entertaining.

[@curtisweller4138]

Wow, the artistry and expertise of those inlays was simply astounding! I also don’t think that I’ve ever seen someone forge weld steel to wrought iron before, but this was the perfect use case. You really know your craft well, and it was clearly shown by the making of this hammer. Well done lads, we’ll done!

[@garethbaus5471]

Welding steel to wrought iron was the industry standard for tools until the Bessemer process made steel cheap.

[@Vospader21]

I like seeing you guys take old metal and recycle it into something new and useful.

[@widgren87]

I would love to see you guys make either Inigo's or Wesley's swords from "The Princess Bride" Also best of luck to you.

Wow the color difference between the heads and the rest of the head is gorgeous

[@crozraven]

this is such a piece of art tool, no way it's worth only 2K. It should be much more, maybe 5K or so & I am sure there will be a collector that would buy this easy fast. Also, maybe an auction style might actually yield even bigger price.

[@path2ed]

A hammer worthy of a master blacksmith. Well done.

[@gundanium3126]

a video dedicated to the fine artistry of the Hamon from the simple but extremely hard to pull off straight hamon to the most complex hamon out there. also include how to avoid auto tempering. i learned that you have to wait till your quench medium stops boiling to pull it off.

[@jamesyamamoto5155]

Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship as always! I really hope I can buy one of your hammers someday when I have the time and money to set up my forge again. They look like an absolute pleasure to use. As a kid, my dad always told me the best way to enter a craft is to buy good tools that make you crave using them. When he decided to learn to play the guitar at 16, he spent all the money he had saved up for a car to buy a Martin Dreadnought. It's been 50 years and he still plays that guitar everyday without fail. Wherever he goes, his Martin goes, and that guitar has been at his side as he has traveled all over the US and the world. Whichever craft you pursue, it has to become an addiction - the thing you do to procrastinate other things.

[@RandomGuy0987]

Holy shit that anchor chain is way bigger than I expected from the thumbnail. Nice vid.

[@dmitrykolevatih4692]

Great tool!! Please make another series of these tools with flowers! For some reason this reminds me of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

[@F0XD1E]

You guys are artists. I love the look of your shop too. Compared to a certain other upbeat blacksmith shops channel, whose setting is very industrial, your shop is so much warmer and romantic. It looks like a really nice place to be. Keep it up!

[@wangtoriojackson4315]

Great build, you guys are really getting into a good groove with the content on this channel lately. I don't miss Man at Arms: Reforged so much when there is great content and awesome builds like this being put out here.Any chance Ilya could make a set of historical lobstered gauntlets like the one he made as part of the shield build for the Forged in Fire final round challenge he knocked out of the park? It was really a thing of beauty, and I was disappointed that FiF showed so little of what went in to making the gauntlet specifically. I would love to see more of Ilya working on a build like that.

yup, but different chains are made from different metals. Oddly, a 50' boat will have high tensile steel rather than wrought iron for the chain. It is the 150' boats that would use a link the size and material they did in this build.

I got a couple of suggestion for you: to get rid of the lines when filming a screen you should set the shutter speed to above or below 60, seance 60 is the same as the refresh rate of typical screens. and compensate with the ISO and lighting. When the sound of a person speaking is to quiet it can be boosted with gain.
