How to Forge a Blacksmithing Hammer - Paul Beisler
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 มิ.ย. 2019
- In this episode of Your Edge Paul Beisler shows us how he forges a classic blacksmithing rounding hammer from A33 steel. We cover everything from how to punch and drift the eye of the hammer to how to dress the faces of the hammer after forging and how to heat treat using a rosebud torch. He uses a forging press to punch and drift the eye and then moves to a Big Blu Power hammer to do the rest of the forming with a little hand forging at the end to true it all up. Paul also teaches us how A33 steel is heat treated without having to temper. Sit back and enjoy this blacksmithing class for beginners and experts.

A Man at Arms AND a That Works video in the same day? Life is good.
Indeed!
RobertPKA man, I was confused! I thought Man at Arms was done. I didn’t get a notification on the new videos, but I went and checked it out. Glad it’s back!
I love the classic form of this hammerhead.
This series is going to be SO helpful in drawing one of the characters in my webcomic when he's beating up hot metal.
Make sure you have the anvil at the right height braap braap.
make sure he is using proper anvils and hammers. and not quenching blades in water halfway finished.
Looks really good, I love how you can see your camera skills improving with every video you guys put out.
Kees Wuister thank you! I think it’s my best video production to date!
This tooling is really cool. I’ve never seen anyone use a magnet for drifting like that, freaky brilliant and simple!
I like that you guys are featuring skilled people who would probably never have their own youtube spotlight on their own. Now I'm going to design and 3d print a warhammer or something.
yeah id love to improve my skills and technique. Now to tackle the small issue of getting a workshop and relevant equipment!
Starting out isn't too bad - there's tons of vids on a starting forge (both charcoal and propane) as well as stand-ins for anvils (or how / where to buy an old anvil). I live in an apartment, or I'd follow my own advice.
This is not a hammer but a work of art.
I love my Beisler hammer. Paul is a great guy and does awesome work! Great video Matt! 👍👍⚒
Fiery Ice Forge thank you! Paul is a great man!
Where did you get it I cant find his web store or anything?
@@TheLoneRider_ He does a lot of business on the same page the auction is being held.
@@TheLoneRider_ I personally contacted him via instagram.
He's also on FB.I found him on a blacksmithing group I belong to.He makes excellent tools.
Thanks Paul for the video. And thanks That Works.
Thanks for watching our first build at another shop and big thanks to Paul Beisler for welcoming us into his shop and showing us how he makes a hammer! Tell us your ideas for specific processes that you would like to see on the next episode of Your Edge!
Too bad it's an auction. TW are my actual initials.
Love the hammer and that was a really good episode. Good job!
@Paul Beisler I just got one of your stickers from Roberts Oxygen in Marlow Heights, the guy at the counter said he knew you! Slapped it on my welding helmet 💪🏼👨🏼🏭
Loved full forging process. Hammer is cool
So rad!! What amazing work Paul!! Thanks so much for sharing!! And of course thank you Matt and illya!!!!!
Using that Atlantic steel is just awesome great video!
Thank you!
Nice trick with the stick magnet. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Man! That hammer's a beauty.
I own a few hammers and my Biesler is by far the best
I noticed you built a beveling hammer. I've done that before but I used water on the lower flooring anvil and of course a larger fullering form on the top side when setting the angle. I found her best results you place the final switch in a pocket so that it can't move off center at the top. Also for me I found re-centering the heads was most necessary.
First time I've seen your edge. I love the intro
A beautiful hammer, Paul. Nicely done 👍🏼
Amazing!!!!
Great video.
So happy to c u guys glad to c ur own channel and subscribed
Paul is a great guy. Love handing out with him at SOFA. And his hammer is one of my favorite in the rack
BK blacksmith hell yea he is!
Brilliant. Well Done, Sir... 🔥🔨👌🏼🇺🇸
More episodes like this please
There are quite a few. They don't get the views like build videos but we will continue to make them as we are dedicated to propelling the craft forward
good quality video !
You are awesome!
Beautiful Hammer
Great looking hammer Paul
love the magnet trick!
Nice, thanks!
that scribe is brilliant!
i love my paul hammer is a really great guy!
Sorry if this has been asked and answered.
Paul uses a liquid while saying "I like to use this. When it turns blue it's good to go."
What is he using, and why?
Thanks!!!
Vic Casados
He's using the spray from Big Blu it is a calcium based lubricant that also has a turns color at different temperatures. Turns the dies blue when in normal working temperatures when black too hot & need to quench dies. Blu uses S7 so can quench their dies while hot.
Way cool !
I have a lovely Beisler straight pein that I bought from him before I knew he was a Name lol I love it.
Damn the video quality improved quite a bit
Also I love the "Your Edge" series
Thank you! A lot of work went into getting where we are!
13:13 pretty cool!! You can see the temper line one the cheek
well i learned how to mount a hammer and given i need to remount my favorite hammer do i think to 2 years of use every other day so this really helped. i also learned a much better way to use my metal stamps and how to make a hammer the modern way so i think i can make a jig now to do it by hand till i can afford a press... Thank you That works =)
Love the Liam Hoffman t-shirt!
Yea buddy! Liam is doing some awesome work. He has the axe game on lock! I met him and his guys at Blade Show and hope to do some videos with them in the future!
@@ThatWorks He's got some serious skills to share. Your collaboration would something special!
Great stuff! Could you guys perhaps do a video on how the tongs shown at 6:21 are made?
We will be doing a video on tongs soon
Great video but something seems off. The production is good but it doesn't really feel organic, if that makes any sense. Thanks for making it, nonetheless.
The way you would get around that is that you could get an "interviewer" on the other side of the camera and ask questions that prompt the dialogue you want. This results in more natural narration because you're not just talking at a camera.
@David Kay That sounds about right.
@@martianmartini505 Or just play his audio segments over the video and let the work speak for itself.
morophine swordphich that’s pretty much what we did.
A friend of mine was formally trained as a blacksmith’s apprentice. He told me that the first thing you learn how to make is your own tools.
This is great but.. not like I have a press or power hammer. Some educational minus points there, but that didn't stop me watching!
This boi gonna have to make one a dem scribes.
I knew we needed one of these when we made shiny steel gauntlets and bracers -- but we may have fifnit too well. One tester took it out and wore it while bowling -- the friendly neighborhood nerds came knocking to buy their own sets next.
Hi there! Great content. Has the hammer head been tempered after the quench? Also: what steel alloy did you use here. I missed that point while watching.
The hammer head was made from a A33 an alloy that was specifically formulated not to need tempering after the quench to achieve adaquate toughness. This information is in the video description.
I have a q, why coolant(water?) doesnt evaporate while quenching ? on both sides i saw that it doesnt
This is great and the camera work has really improved on this one.
But I have some question. Is it possible to just hand drift the whole process for those who don't have an hydraulic press (or simply can't afford one) and what other type of steel you can use to make a hammer ? Especially if you can't find a33 steel.
Yes, it is possible, yes, it is as much of a pain in ass as it sounds, but the sense of accomplishment is absolutely wonderful, and 1045 is pretty good, as is 4140, I came across some 1045 stick and made some awesome hammers from, happy forging mate!
Thanks man.
Concur with Jacob, if you can invite a friend over to act as a striker it becomes a much more reasonable job to do by hand.
What weight of hammer do you guys use? I just started forging and bought a 4 lbs and a 2.5 lbs to use I like the 4 but swing the 2 faster, any advise?
John Doe there is a dif hammer for every job. For forging bevels on a blade I use about a 4 lbs and ilya uses something closer to 6.5.
@@ThatWorks Thank you, I use the 4 lbs for shaping and the 2 for finishing.
Can you show proper hollow grinding techniques
What type of steel is used?
Can you plz make a tanto chopper like the one in simple little life made
Does hammer don't need to be tempered like blades after hardening?
Normally it does, but Paul stated in the video that it was a specialty non-temper steel, so it probably doesn't get up to an insane Rockwell when hardened, meaning that there would be no point to drawing back the hardness through tempering.
is it possible to make a wrought iron hammer with a high carbon steel on the end?
Castsmith absolutely!
100 % if you’re up to doing the forge welds; I saw that exact method demonstrated to make a beautiful hammer a few years ago. They cut little barbs into the steel face to mechanically hold it to the wrought iron body before welding. It’s great if you etch it after to see the grain structure of the wrought contrasted against the homogeneous steel face.
Checked at 11.30 pst on 6.20.19 current bid is $173.19
Плохо понемаю язык ,но по ходу дела все понятно классный молото получился🙂👍
Hello guys
Do you still make custom orders?
Should partner with aleec steel
How do you like the Flutagon?
I don’t have one
It’s a steel that he forged the hammer out of also known as Atlantic 33 it has rounded edges instead of square
I want a Stormbreaker on that size or twice the size of this hammer.
а отпускать не нужно? а финишная обработка рукоятки?
Id really like to see the BKS take on a "serpent in the steel".. I don't know what the technical term for it is lol.
Emery Harris Matt’s gladius is pretty snakey
@@ThatWorks it is isn't it.. I saw it and it never occurred to me lol
I need a hammer to make my hammer
Ok magnet on a press... neey idea
>"another episode of your edge"
...another? When was the first?
th-cam.com/play/PLK4p4BkJJZkJl5aMbMe8Ha0XKyySIzyqe.html
Duker there is a bunch of them. Our first video was a Your Edge video as well. This show is designed to focus in a particular skill that can be practiced and achieved. This was the first that showed a complete build but still falls in line with the mission statement of Your Edge.
@@ThatWorks thats why i linked the playlist so they can watch all of them :D
so you dont temper the hammer at all?
Spectra1947 in most cases you have to but the material Paul uses doesn’t need it.
@@ThatWorks Oh ok that makes sense. Do you think we will see the process for one of Ilya's fancy hammers?
@@Spectra1947 Yes we will! soon!
Atlantic A-33 No Temper tool steel is a thru hot work steel. When you drift a hole as the punch get hot remove from work and quench in clean clear water return the punch to the work and continue drifting the hole. This steel can be welded with out special consideration during welding or post welding.

Apologies guys, what's up with Fallagrim?
Danyyil Bun Skallagrim messaged us and told us that he had a big backlog for reviews and if we wanted to hold off a bit on finishing it that he was ok with it and we were in a jam to get things finished for blade show so that worked for us. Now that we are back from blade show we will be finishing up that project in the next week or so. Prob two more episodes and it will be shipped to him.
@@ThatWorks Now it makes sense, I feared that project has been forgotten.
Thank you.
How to forge an Axe
I dont really like burned handles. They often look kind of sloppy and irregular. Some like it but I prefer roasting the wood in an oven at ca. 200°C. It makes for an even coloration.
"I used the hammer to hammer the hammer"
that's one sexy hammer tho
1st episode of "Your Edge" makes a hammer with no edge. Seems legit.
Well it’s not the first episode...
@@ThatWorks how the hell is this stupid joke the one comment I get response to when I've posted legitimate blacksmithing questions on at least 5 different videos? Show us how a halberd is made or a video on thicknesses for different swords.
The purpose of cheeks is what? Purchased sledge hammers have no cheeks. Not sure other than looks how a cheek helps. Thinking of making a small ball peen hammer.
Normally I love this sort of content but the camera work is dreadful. Badly shot, poor exposure, amateurish hand held wobble vision. Maybe you could forge a tripod?
They lost the professional camera team when they split from Man at Arms.
I guess some would watch dog shit turn white, as long as the camera work is professionally done.......
Step 1: buy a hammer.
It's only half made no thank you.
