BLACKSMITH | Make better hammers! | Tips and Trick to help with your hammer making. 

"If you want something a bit more spicy......" I recommend C4!! 😁 I love watching you make a hammer, there's just something about how effortless your working style is. It probably comes from the thousands of hammers the have come before. I'm also wondering if working with students helps (and I don't mean getting them to do it for you) as you're constantly in a possition where you have to teach new people the skills they need. This has the bonus of constantly looking at your work an evaluating how it went and if there's any way to make it better or easier. I think it's a great way to really hone a skill set to perfection 👍❤👍

Nice work.

Always awesome to see you work. Thank you

Great video Dan! Really enjoy every one! As always thank you and God Bless you sir!

How fitting. I just forged a crosspeen and am heat treating and hafting today. Coincidently, it's from a billet I purchased through you. I was going to tag you on IG when it is finished.

Really enjoyed that! Have shared with all the things!

Nice Dan, really enjoyed that. Well done.

This is a great idea!! Love this🤘

As ever Dan you make it look effortlessly 👍👍

It is always cool to see smiths working with strikers, keep up the great work man :)

These are beautiful hammers, Daniel! Well done!

Good stuff! Clean forging and educational. :)

Great video sir! Very cool to see things more advanced than the class. Giving a "step up". 👍😀⚒️

Excellent

Very nice!!!

Great video sir, keep up the good work

Very informative Well done Clap

Very good video mr. Moss.👍👍👍✌

Awesome!!!!!!

I'm in. Picked up the Universal Tongs from your website. Thanks for all the great videos sharing all the amazing forging experience.

Good stuff Dan. Punching with a round punch helps a lot.

I enjoyed this video. You make it look easy. That cross pein design looks great

Cant believe you done all that by hand mate... that's incredible...💪🙌👍

Nice job, makes me want to fire up the forge and go to work.

A couple of tips I'd like to see is how to use a striker without having one and how to use a power hammer without having one.

Yay Paul 💪 Paul Beisler Blacksmith I quench my S7 dies hott all the time? & tongs Just not glowing

Been awhile Dan but nice to see you back as usual really good instruction a very nice hammer

Very nice Dan, would love to own one of your hammers!

Good work; this is useful info. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)

Sweet hammers!

Probably going to make my first Hammer this summer, so this will be helpful

Long time no see, the hammers look great as always

I'm fortunate to have a 5 foot long by 2 1/2" 4140 axle that cost me free.99.

Oh man i miss your video

Do you aneal the 4140 before cutting it I'm having a real hard time trying to cut some forklift tines with an angle grinder

Hi Dan, I don't know if you are familiar with the Barr Run Forge channel on YT. Go to my channel and check out the series Making Eli's hammer parts 1 thru 4 and you will probably shake your head in disbelief of the way as a group we helped Eli Roush make a rounding hammer, especially when we discovered the hammer wouldn't fit either guillotine fuller! Sorry for the video quality I haven't posted in awhile and my skills are a bit rusty.

Anyone know what steel truck axles are made from?

Is what you use as coal?

So, at 4:50 is that your coke on the floor around the forge, is is it clinker?

Using lump charcoal and noticed that any heavy material sinks as the fire burns up the charcoal, have to add a handle to keep it in the sweet spot. Does regular coal have the same problem?

Hi Dan (Cracked hammer ) I hardened my hammer made from forktruck tine Quenched in oil all went fine. But I had to go out and didn’t temper until the next day Then oops came out with two cracks across the face. Could this of happened because it wasn’t tempered soon enough? Or just bad luck. ?

Whats oil is?

I've always thought that making things spicy is the best way

What scrap metal is a good contrasting against leaf spring for a good demascus billet? Not the name of the metals, (like the leaf spring being 5160), I need the part names, like ball bearing race, or lawnmower blade, or axle shaft, etc.

Is my code for free stuff still #Nemo'sForge? 😜🤣🤣 Packed allot in that video. 🤟 Nice job dude!!

I really love the Stanley like cross peen hammer, it reminds me a bit of those french cross peens :D I wonder, the hammer you're using during forging: is that your Big Boi "pattern" or has he another name?
