- In this video I forge my first hammer from a piece of 1045 bar stock with the help of Paul Pinto. This was my first blacksmithing project and it really got me excited about doing more projects with the forge!
Thank you to Jimmy Diresta for having us up for the weekend and letting us use his amazing shop and tools. Be sure to check the links below to all my other friends who were up there kicking around the forge and helping me through the process.

So cool 🔨⚔️
Pretty cool (or hot as the case may be). I have a lot of respect for blacksmiths, shaping steel with fire and all. I'm sure glad we now have the ability to just go down to the hardware store and buy something that's already made.
"I BEEN WORKING ON THE RA...IL ROAD, ALL THE LIVE LONG DAYS. YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME!
Very Cool, great to see you work with Paul...awesome dude!
Great hanging out last weekend. Pretty ambitious project while the rest of us were making leaves. 🤣.
ManCraftingTM great seeing you man!! Gotta run before you can walk right?!
Loved going through the process, thanks.
Really nice for a first time try.
Well done. Work with what you got that’s my motto. Until you get discussed and you call a buddy who have everything. I have one of those too.
Yes... you should be proud for making your own tool
Ended up looking great! Next time try using a bigger hammer and anvil, you need a ton of force to move that thick of steel. Generally I do hammer heads with a 10 pound sledge and have someone hold the work for you, the drift will go in like butter if you have a big enough hammer and a solidly mounted swage block.
Good Stuff, I too choke up on the hammer but leave the handle long because it seems to feel more balanced in the hand.
It will pound
Interesting video and filmed very well.
Wow, punching a drifting that hole takes a minute!
Loved it. I’m now more inspired than ever. Have you ever heard about the hay quenching technique?
Kevin Facemire the blacksmithing world isn’t ready to learn about hay quenching yet!
Nice. Ive got some truck axles ive been thinking about using to make some hammers.
That would probably work well for that.
Hell of a job bro, I agree on the handle shape. Could you not have used a small drift and the press to put the hole in the head?
Thank you! We definitely could have, but we were pretty limited in the amount of tools for this particular task. If paul hadnt made that hammer eye drift we wouldnt have been able to accomplish this at all!
I could make a hammer, too, if I had all those... haaammers. Damn, looks like hot steel is still pretty damn hard, always looks easy in fast motion. Serious question, when you were first trying to drive the drift through you flipped it every strike: would it start going sideways or something if you did like 5 hits, flip, 5 hits, etc?
Jeremy Specce haha! It’s easy! As far as I know the reason for flipping it is to do two things, one keep it straight, and two keep that tool cool and not weld it into the billet
Nice job, where did you get the material to make the hammer?
It's at the beginning of the video. I don't remember what he called it but he cut it off a bar the shop already had.
Hi everyone
I'm gona hazard a guess and say.. that you know that things take twice as long if you are drinking lol
I certainly hope they aren't drinking working around that red hot steel. Not just the danger of being injured by it but alcohol & heat don't mix well.
Now that I've seen it I believe every press needs googly eyes.
You and Paul sort of sound alike, only your voices are different pitches.
18:07 what did you pass on the sanding belt?
It was a rubber belt dressing stick. They basically are a big pencil eraser. It cleans the abrasive out and helps to keep the abraded material from sticking to the belt.
4:54 its heavy isn't it?... LOL
How many men does it take to make a hammer! ;)
LQQKED like state workers didn't it? 😆
Gloves thick gloves thick pants if that falls on you it would be so painful you would probably be in pain for 3 days.
It would be easier if you had a real anvil...
