Ay you know it 🤘

It's true, but it's so much cooler to say you made something than you bought something.

[@ToddKoch]

I completely agree!

[@J3ironworks]

It looks really nice good job

[@ToddKoch]

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Thanks you video 👍👍👍🙏

[@ToddKoch]

I’m glad it could help!!

Long time back I tried to make a mini cross pein hammer out of a ball pein hammer to use on smaller projects. Somewhere along the line I messed up with either thermal cycling or in the heat treat and when I went to put in on the handle it broke into about 5 pieces. You have another winner there, very cool.

[@ToddKoch]

I’m sorry to hear about that! I’ve had a few tools break on me in my experience and it’s always way frustrating. Thanks though, I am happy with how this one turned out!

@@ToddKoch If we never failed we would never learn. Seems to me I have an old claw hammer somewhere in the garage. Might have to try this one myself.

[@ToddKoch]

Very true! I’d encourage trying this one, it’s a super fun project and very customizable!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Todd that turned out very cool. I really like it. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep making. God Bless.

[@ToddKoch]

Thanks, I’m super happy with how it turned out too!

[@SchysCraftCo.]

@@ToddKoch thanks great to hear. Your very welcome my friend.

[@TheStephencraig01]

Nice job. I wonder if you could make something else with the claw side? Maybe a pick or a smaller axe blade?

[@samjohnd451]

Not bad brother good job keep it up. I wounder if you should do a tutorial on a bunch of easy projects on say hooks and hangers as well just a thought. Or anything really I just love seeing people shape and form steel take a piece of nothing and make somthing of it.

[@ToddKoch]

I would be happy to do that! I made one or two basic hook videos a little ago, but they were rushed because I was running low on time those weeks. I’d be happy to make a longer video on those sometime!

[@samjohnd451]

@@ToddKoch do you sell your work? And if so do you do so online as well?

[@ToddKoch]

I’ve been feeling out sales for a while now and I’ve been planning to release an online shop space of some sort in the near future, I will be sure to announce it on the channel when I do!

[@Lomaxflyy]

Mate you're going to lose a finger one of these days😂😂 Looks cool though🤌

[@ToddKoch]

Eh I got 10 so there’s some wxtras

[@milkytoast6245]

noice!!

[@ToddKoch]

Thanks!!!

[@Schadly_Comedy]

How long did it take you to make? Looks like a lot if work.

[@ToddKoch]

It was about 4-5 hours of forging and then for the finish work on the head it was probably about 1-2 hrs. Luckily I didn’t have to make a handle so that cut time, but overall the project was a bit shorter then most, probably about 9-10 hours of work all things considered
