- I reforged this rusty claw hammer into a hatchet. I got the idea from videos forging ball peen hammers into hatchets! I'm really happy with how this project went, it was way fun and such a cool challenge overall! Forging this thing out was a good challenge, and for once I didn't have to make the handle from scrap which was nice. I wouldn't quite call this project a restoration, more of a revamp... but still a blast! Be sure to like, subscribe, and comment if you liked this project and if you want to see more like it!
Thanks for all the support I've seen recently! It means a lot, and I've gotten a ton of good comments and feedback!

Ay you know it 🤘
It's true, but it's so much cooler to say you made something than you bought something.
I completely agree!
It looks really nice good job
Thanks!
Thanks you video 👍👍👍🙏
I’m glad it could help!!
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.
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!
@@ToddKoch do you sell your work? And if so do you do so online as well?
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!
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.
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.
Very true! I’d encourage trying this one, it’s a super fun project and very customizable!
Mate you're going to lose a finger one of these days😂😂 Looks cool though🤌
Eh I got 10 so there’s some wxtras
Nice job. I wonder if you could make something else with the claw side? Maybe a pick or a smaller axe blade?
noice!!
Thanks!!!
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.
Thanks, I’m super happy with how it turned out too!
@@ToddKoch thanks great to hear. Your very welcome my friend.
Awesome work
Thanks!!
Bro u lok like eminem
I am the real slim shady
How long did it take you to make? Looks like a lot if work.
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
