Store bought to Custom forging hammer! Re forging into something nice. 

Thanks for the shout out Dan I got 4 of them out of the scrap bin in work I am turning 1 into a flatter how about the title the three R’ rough ready recycle now how about turning those lorry twist locks into hardy tools I believe they are an impact steel 👍

Every now and then, you will come across a video that is AMAZINGLY a masterclass video that you can learn from and truly enjoy watching as you are guided through the tutorial by a true craftsman's like Mr. Daniel Moss! 👏👏👏

thanks a lot Dan for responding the idea with lightning fast. it's just pop out of my head right away. because i know that 'someone should starts somewhere', but sometimes they just don't know how. keep up the good work and keep inspiring. cheers...

I like “just Get it Dan” as a title so this would be the “just get it Dan - hammer renovation video”

I’m just starting out with a backyard forge. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge pal. Well appreciated

Great Idea I run across old hammers and new ones was thinking of doing the same to a few of them . Thank you Dan..super job

I think you said it. Rough N Ready. Sounds like a good series title to me. Reforming the purchased hammer was pretty cool. I think more beginners should try this.

“One take, no fakes “ best name for these episodes

That’s awesome work Dan! I’ve converted a small two pounder into a straight peen, had no idea what I was doing! Thanks for sharing and God Bless you sir! Rough and Ready with Daniel Moss!

Re purposing store bought hammers may be a great title for the video 👍😁

That was cool Daniel well done. Maybe the series could be called "From this to that" Take care Wayne

Thanks! Loved the video and the format 😀

I enjoy the one take wonder, 1 take no fakes, but like the fact your just having a mess around, sometimes thats where the enjoyment comes back. So, Dont Trust Me Im A Messing About Blacksmith 🤣

Very cool, liking these videos mixed in with the others. I'll put forward "Quick Heats" for these one-take wonders.

Dan, I just got to this video and it helps a lot! YOU are a MASTER at what you do! I'm mildly disabled enough to where I can't MAKE a hammer but, I think if I make a Guillotine tool and use the fullers on an already made much less expensive hammer that I can come up with something usable! I can't reliably use anything much larger than a 2-pound hammer, anymore so, it will be work, either way! Anything that would take a normal person a couple of hours will take me a couple of DAYS and MANY heats! I guess as long as I'm in the forge and DOING something that's better than NOT doing anything at all! And, when I'm done, as long as I get a good heat treat and temper on whatever I come up with, I guess it was worth it, even if it's just for the experience! Thanks for your expertise and your videos! They are a Godsend!

I've been wanting to try to do this with a few cheep hammers that are just sitting ready to go in the forge and haven't had the guts to try yet. I think I'll just follow your example and lob them in there 😁 Maybe I'll end up with some hammers I can use and add to my blacksmithing kit, who knows LOL 👍

RE-FORGE DIY that's what i would call it. I love these vids, i've reground some hammers to suit my smithing needs and my motto is: it aint stupid if it works!

Affordable Blacksmithing tools and tooling! Sounds good to me!

I'd go with the 'Rough & Ready' suggestions Dan. Maybe a 'Rough and Ready Forged' series perhaps? I liked the set downs on the reins of the new tongs, farriers have done them that way for donkeys years and I've never understood why more Smith's don't really. Having the reins parallel (one on top of the other) along their full length is much more comfortable in the hand to me than having them off set. I made a pair like the one you did with Tim a month or so before all this cr*p kicked off and he loves them.

"Rock Steady, Rough and Ready, Adventures In Smithing!" And then a subtitle of the content. A bit lengthy but it rolls off the tongue. 😃 Thanks for the content!👍✌

Great job dan!

One Shop stop. One heat only with Dan. 1 vs 1. The battle of the battery. The 2 hands forging series.

"Generic to Custom, in a few easy steps". Cheer Daniel 🍺👍⚒️❤️

Cool Dan, got my second lil Viking hammer well underway today.

From this to that epic transition.... Good luck picking your series name. Hammer looks awesome!!!

Love the series idea. For a title I think "Straight out the Fire" is nice.

Dan, I really like wacthing your channel and videos, man I learn so much from you,thank. I'm taking a risk 😂 and really trying to Forge myself. So, thanks alot. Talk soon.

Great video Dan lol safety 3rd style. Kill the paint with fire it turned out great and for the title I know you said rough and ready but I think it'd be cool as rough rumbling rambles shorten as RRR it's kinda be like a tonuge twister as part of the fun

Very tidy work Dan🖒

You could call this series “Lockdown & Dirty”, seeing as we’re all stuck indoors watching anyway!

Short cut to an awsome hammer. That sounds like a name!

Down and dirty with Dan Moss. Or should I say Dan and Dirty. Lol. Good stuff as always.

Yep, I think "rough and ready" should describe those video's nicely. They are all instructional so all good for me...

That came out better than I thought. I like these videos. You can call it on a whim with Daniel. Daniel's deep end. Lol

This is a cool idea! I reckon they could be called either "Dan Demos" or "Dan Getting Dirty" because they're more hands-on and less teachy. Or, if it's taking on a challenge (a bit like this one) then it could be "Dan Delivers!"

I am really glad you did that, I was wondering if I could save myself some time and start with a hammer shaped object. As a newbie, I don't know a good decision from bad. My instinct says, just go locate a hunk of 4140. But I am new, and working alone in an unequipped shop... Not even a drift yet.

On The Fly!! Great vid sir 👍

I'm way behind on these videos from when they were made, this hammer reforging is great, I definitely will be trying these as my first forging projects, just so I can get some descent tools without breaking the bank. I'm 64 years old, I like doing things myself. I've taught myself, with the help of RU-vid videos like these how to do many things, like learning how to MIG weld, how to Stick weld, I will be making a forge, not sure exactly which model I'm going to use yet, I'm looking to make a fairly large forge, which means I'l have to locate it outside and maybe put a roof over it, then putting up walls as needed, but the floor is going to be dirt. Just as a little background on me, I'm a veteran 4 years in USMC, 8 years USN and year and a half in US Army. In the Corps I was was an aviation supply-man, but was checked out as CH53-D door gunner, had several flights in and out of Vietnam between 1974 and 1975, saw some action along the DMZ in Korea in 1975, was on two ships in the Navy, the USS Mississippi CGN-40 and the USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 was a Operations Specialist and in the Army was a Combat Engineer and spent a year in Iraq 2005 and 2006 at age 50. So I've been around the world a few times and have seen and done a lot of things and I guess that's why I like learning to do stuff that many would pay others to do for them. So I really appreciate videos like this to allow me to learn and do new things, this wasn't available when I was starting out, so thank you for taking the time to teach this old war dog new tricks! 😎🐕‍🦺⚒

New series of videos, "Will It Forge?" Seriously, I love your hammers. Great work my friend

"One Take Wonder" would be a great name

From alright to exceptional! From trash to class:) either way dan your a smithin magician.... great job as always bro!! Ohh by the way the hammer you made for the raffle is the most amazing hammer i have ever uaed for smithing. Lovely balance and awesome handle. Love the channel! Love the content!! Exceptional work my friend!!!!

Dan's forg& hammer ⚒️🔥⚒️ nice title....btw like your blacksmithing skills dan.pat from Belgium ⚒️🔥⚒️

Rough Forged, I think would be a good title for the series. Not as finished as your regular videos but the basic shape is there

My name suggestion is "From Junk to Hunk". Always wondered if this would be worth doing. Thanks!

Pretty sick battle wound on that left thumb!👍

I'm really enjoying your rough and ready videos they are a lot of fun....forgive the dad joke but title wise I'd have to go a little old school....Stop, Hammer Time

I was going to buy a hammer from you a few months ago but I backed out.... Now I want 2... So... I'll keep in touch! Thanks!

that power hammer is a bloody beast

I would like to propose - making something out of nothing, many of us aspire to owning a custom made hammer, but usually have to make do, your giving us all hope! Keep safe, Dave

Un fuglyization of a useful tool. 😁🍻 It looks good dude. Keep it Mossin'

Rough and ready, R&R tag - Real forging. I think you named it already. DM - burrs on. Scale series, unbrushed.

"Dont do what I'm about to do" lol I love it. Seems like the labor required to rework the hammer would be more costly than buying a hand forged hammer straight out. Lest you dont have the money and need it changed, then its justified.

Keep up the great work! Tag/ title You already have it!!! Rrough and ready !!!

Liked this video Dan cheers mate. You could have called this one "Forging Trash To Treasure" but the overall series could be called "Off The Cuff" ie: without preparation.

Thanks for the 'Rough Cut & Uncut' video. I have made a rounding hammer from a silver line 2lb lump no cheeks but it does the gob for £6 plus a handle. Your right about the steel quality as I have put some deep gouges in the rounding edge with the corner of my small anvil, but saves the anvil I suppose. Is there an advantage to having the fullers?. Stay safe and all the best from N Yorks.

Cool. Video. Tools to make tools..

Rough & Ready: "And then what the video is about here" I think that would make it pretty clear! and I like the way it sounds! "Rough & Ready"

Great video brother excellent camera work exceptional comentary with enough humor to keep folks engaged. So i reckon ifin you were taken by rough n ready you wouldn't be throwing it out there. So ill throw out one.... then keep saving to buy tongs LMBO The " Dan Zone" series. We get to see Dan in the zone problem solving on the fly raw and uncut. Well there's an option for you Ms Ella, pleasure to meet ya M'lady. Got your hands full keeping our Danny boi in line....best of luck, cuz you must be a saint putting up with us!! 💜 Ya Daniel take care brother 🙏 Blessed days now Crawford out ⚒️🧙‍♂️

Title could be..."Time to Get Hammered with Dan". Thanx for all the videos. ~

You've demonstrated that you can, but I wonder if you feel that you *should* - certainly this was great for curiosity (and I am all for scratching that itch) but are there any specific advantages to reforging like this? such as saved time, or cost?

Hammer time!!!

Great stuff mate. I enjoyed it. For a title, it may be click baitish but meh clicks are good........ "can i do it, lets find out"

A series of "Moss Bites" would be very welcome.

Brute forging, like brute de forge finishes. It gives it an exotic sound, and blacksmiths who know the term will undoubtedly understand immediately

Reforged from production to perfection, The Dan Moss Way

Some Ideas: "Doing it on the cheap" "Quick and dirty" "Non-traditional" "Reduce, Reuse, Reforge" "Outside of the box" :) hope that helps

These should be called Fun and random Blacksmithing with Dan, Bits and Bob's, Dan's one offs videos. Hope these help lol

From new to better, store bought to forged

Thanks for this video, I was thinking of doing it. I wonder how difficult would be doing it without a power hammer. I also want to know if it's possible to forge a hammer from a train track. I couldn't find anyone in RU-vid doing it.

Maybe a "Scratcher Video"? Reference to kitchen/bathroom tattoo shenanigans. That's pretty rough and ready.

Thanks for the instructional, noticed your touchmark is same as mine, only yours is a bit bigger.

Great video as normal don't know if you would be interested but how about a video on your forge ie the breakdown and maintenance of it

I was just thinking of doing this. Haha perfect timing! Do you have any reason why you like round faces vs square faces ?

Moss Makes It Great. Or Daniel Moss The Blacksmith Boss

Amazing !!!)

First video, subscribed

Bashing one out eg bashing one out, cheap hammer made better. Great work dan keep it up

One shot hammer in? Been thinking about this might be a bit much for me with hand hammers but get in a few swings here and there as a long term project maybe.

I’d like to have that hammer Daniel!!! I recently accepted a teaching position at a local college here in Arizona, USA 🇺🇸

One take no fake blacksmithing

👍👍👍👍thank you

Thank you , once again relaxed , informative and very easy viewing , How about 'Dans Daily's'. Or 'Just Mossing about' thanks again, loved it .....Mark

Dan's Bash and Dash Rough Cut TMIB - Quick Bits

Brilliant, can you try to do it by hand? As many people sadly don't have power hammers. Thanks 😊

Fiberglass handle....saw... fiberglass dust.. and then he coughs... Always use protection when working with removing fiberglass! Glad to see you mention it eventually. but man..you only get one set of lungs.

cheap hammer made good :) I live in new zealand, hope that isnt too weird...

Hi am ogbonna from Nigeria up coming blastsmith ilove your work

Hey Dan, when punching eyes by hand, what are some pros and cons with the different styles of punch? i can think of 3 styles, the flat ended, the diamond end, and the rounded chisel, which i believe you use. I've punched various holes using all these styles, but only a couple hammer eyes. what are your thoughts on all those variations?

I think Daniel moss un plugged forge work 😁👍

Looks good but love the diagonal cross peen you made me, the re- forge eerrr video and tooling videos are awesome in these trying times thanks

How about calling the series From cheap junk to something awesome.

Quick and dirty series

i think you have named it ruff n' ready already! id call it : Ruff N' Ready: Reforging a store-bought hammer. id like some wolf jaw tongs, please. heh.

Nice Dude. TFS, G :)

This particular video you could have done trash to treasure or polishing a turd lol. came out great Dan! But as a series you keep saying rough and ready so why not something along those lines or Rough and Ready projects with Dan.

Some lovely anvils I'd like to smack with my hammer against....great video, great information, keep up the fantastic work

The Rough Forge series

I like the raw aspects of this. How about "Mucking About"?

You could call it the DMZ (the Daniel Moss Zone) and tag the tittle with #DMZ if you want people to know it’s one of those types of uploads. Really enjoying them by the way.👍👍👍👍👍

Totally have to use #ReadySetDan ;-)
