Forging a Hammer Eye Punch - Blacksmithing

[@fredir3596]

My original interest was in knife making. Now, I just want to make tools!

[@sbjennings99]

It's Awesome how someone can take a chunk of metal and turn it into something useful

[@MalcOfLincoln]

Impressive work as ever Paul. You're managing to keep your work unique, yet top quality at the same time. Hope you understand what I'm trying to say.

[@eli1011]

Dude this is an absolutely amazing video it is insane that you are 18 and able to make pieces like this man. You deserve major MAJOR Fame for all that you do. Keep up the good work bro!!!

very nice good job dude!!!

[@BigWillSD]

Very cool! Do u have any videos about your press? I'm wanting to revamp mine and yours looks much simpler then what I was planning, and safer than mine

[@markling712]

Nicely done. If you though forge the taper of the punch round, and then flatten it, then it will save you alot of time on the grinder cause you will already have the shape you want and just have to polish it up. Also I have had some issues with the hammer eye punches I have made out of 1045 because I have had the tips bend with un experienced strikers giving bad blows, and so I now make them out of 4140 and 5160 and they hold up good and dont mushroom as fast.

[@oliverworks5469]

Awesome work. I love it.

[@PaulPinto]

Thanks!! I just finished up your axe today Ill be sending it out soon!

[@darrelrhame9351]

Outstanding young man!

[@killerkane1957]

Very nice Paul! You have developed a nice touch with your press. Minimal grinding. You could have used it with none! That’s how it’s done. Now stop making me nervous. Get over to Harbor Freight and get you a 3 to 4 lb Chinesium hammer. Put a good handle in it and paint the steel so you can spot it readily. Use it only to strike tools like your drift. Save the face of your good hammer for forging only. Oh! And remember to raise hell!

[@s.halharbi3149]

Awesome👍

[@FrankAUnger-bz8fo]

Great work!

[@cholulahotsauce6166]

What size hydraulic cylinder and pump do you use if I may ask?

[@jf8437]

We have the same anvil!

Thank You!

[@CesarBridgest]

excellent very beautiful your work

[@lukehammack]

I’d love to see how you made your press, did you design it yourself or build it from plans?

[@carlosmarquesalvespereira3609]

Parabéns pelo trabalho, linda ferramenta.

[@mitchelperkins6723]

Made 4 eye punches myself last week I made a set of tapered dies to forge the cutting end of the eye punch that go in the press. Bonus in the dies is the do a great job forgot g the peen end on hammers as well My eye punches and drifts are rounded ended rectangular shaped, or High ovals. The cutting end is tapered to round, then flattened top and bottom inline with the eye. Been using H13 for all of them lately, and just did one from S7 to test it's durability. Yours looks great Paul. What material was used?

[@vikingodin9147]

good job.

[@h.schmid1965]

Very nice Hammer. Steel c45? And the Beltgrinder is very nice, i search one.👍🏻

[@KevinSmith-gh5ze]

Quick question Paul. If you had to buy an anvil again, in the same price range, would you still buy the nc big face, or is there anything that really bothers you about it?

[@caseyanderson9169]

Not sure if this would help considering how late I am to reply but I would check out the Kanca anvils at Centaurforge.com. They have two horns so not quite like his London style anvil but are around the same price. Hope this helps

[@Anderson-HandForged]

great job paul do you sell these ? i would be interested in buying one thank you and your press you built came out awesome

[@ronnieg6358]

I like your power hammer. Is there a video on how you made it?

[@patricksworkshop6010]

Ronnie G his press is made by coal ironworks

[@kmalnasef1512]

good job my friend

[@warlord8954]

What kind of belt grinder/sander are you using?

[@fnafplayer6447]

What is the point of the other end of your anvil obviously I seen the horn but the other side looks almost if you slide something inside. I just for curiosity wanna know what this is for. P.S. great video 😁

[@jeffsandling5981]

Parker The Squid if you're talking about the prongs on the tail they're basically like bending forks. It's a farrier's anvil.

[@keagangramling7957]

I think it is for holding a hammer

[@ManCrafting]

Great job!

[@PaulPinto]

thanks Chad!!

[@Marylandhomesearch]

What steel did you use? Very nice work

[@kadirseker1474]

SUPER BRAVO

What is the capacity of that hydraulic press?

Exelente . Saludos

[@armandocasasconcosas9651]

Beautiful piece Paul. a question, to the forge you put oxygen also or only gas??

[@killerkiller4272]

good job

[@codyorvis6598]

Hey is that a 100 pound anvil you've got there

[@BlakManSkyf]

Молодец Американец 👍

[@leviblackwood3258]

I wonder how one would preform if it was made out of atlantic 33

[@markling712]

I have a friend who has made on out of a 33 and loves it. I have had issues with the tips of hammer eye punches that I have made from 1045 bending with bad blows from in experienced strikers, and so I now use 4140 and 5160 for my hammer eye punches and they hold up well.

Nice video! Can I please ask, what is the make/model of your forge press?!?

Thank you! And I built it. I made a few videos about it if you want to take a look

Ever forged a toffee hammer?

That hammer would be a really devastating weapon it would puncture the skull easily.

That's not built as a weapon. That's a hammer eye punch.
