- In this video i forge a cross peen hammer for the first time.
The hammer is inspired by the "typical" Swedish style of cross peen hammers. I must say that i really enjoyed the process, and i really like the hammer. I hope this video gets you inspired to try forging your own hammer!
thanks for watching!

That’s a good looking hammer. True craft.
I believe that making your own tools is how you become a master craftsperson.
Very Nice Hammer ! That is something you can use for many years and then pass on to your Grandchildren someday !
I sure hope so! Thanks for watching!
nice looking Hammer you made Nils
Now that's an awesome looking cross pien. Nicely styled. Your choice of wood accents nicely as well.
🙏 Blessed days now crawford out ⚒️🧙♂️
P.S. if you decide to follow Daniel Moss general guide lines for your rounding hammer...I don't feel you'll be disappointed.
I took his class when he came to American last September. I'd never forged anything b4. He is an amazing teacher and a kuul dude. Pleased as punch w the product he so graciously guided me thru making.
Best of luck sir
Your hammer looks nice, good weight also to get precision when forging.
Tanks for sharing !!
Thanks alot!
Love it, probably the best looking cross peen hammer ever. Thank you.
Beautiful! Im off school for now so im going to forge a hammer very very soon!
Liam J. Penn good luck!
Do hope you have a bit of video of your forging of your hammer. Would make an excellent watch sir
🙏Blessed days now
Crawford out ⚒️ 🧙♂️
Dragonstone Gem & Ironworks Crawford I definitely will film it
Sod the Axes I mentioned on facebook, I think I'll be forging one of these next, thanks for pointing me to your channel, going to be watching a lot more of your stuff :)
I think I know what you mean, with preferring your self-made hammer. You value it more, you created it and there is something like a bit of a soul in it. I have the same feeling about my self made kitchen cleaver. Although it doesn't cut the best (still need more sharpening skills) but is something I created and it gives a good feeling using it instead of the bought tool, produced somewhere in a factory.
Absolutely fantastic! You are a real craftsman thank you!
Vety beautifull Hammer! 🎅🏻🔨
Love this hammer style,Great video.
Beautiful
Thanks for showing
Great work, brother. God bless.
Very nice work sir hit cleanly shaped and very useful tool without a doubt!
Looks beautiful! The corners look just a little bit sharp for a forging hammer for me... I hate that little dents you get with sharp corners.
I like to have nice radius there. It gives just a nicer finish. But that's just my opinion and if it works for you it's perfectly fine! You're the one who use it in the end
Thats actually one of the points mr.Moss gave me, i went back re did that part!
@ can't wait to see what you'll create with that hammer!
Do you know Alec Steele? He have an interesting forging hammer. I made a smaller version of his hammer since I'm a beginner and don't have the strength in my arm yet. I like his design, it works great for me
Always a pleasure watching your videos!
Thank you very much!
Finally a video on making Swedish hammers. you should try and make a Czech hammer next
Yes!!
Nils Ögren another thing you could make is a Sami knife or leuku, it would be really cool to see you make
great looking hammer
Beautiful work! Hammer making is so fun
It sure is!
That is one fine looking hammer sir. Really enjoy watching you work.
Thank you!
that's amazing hammer you got there nils
Another great video a beautiful hammer absolutely love the shape you have inspired me to make one like this thanks 🔥⚒️👌
Thanks for you explane a nice size ,and model really gold hands much health stay.Respect for your
work mentality!!
Thank you alot!
That was so beautifully done man! Congratulations for the awesome work! Tho I really wanted to know, what was the inicial stock size? Amazing content nonetheless!! Greetings from Brazil!
That's a beautiful hammer, you did a great job brother. Now you have me wanting to make one. New sub.
Happy to hear it! thanks for following me on my journey!
Nice!
Gog morgon, I found you from Alec Steel. I'm an old metal worker but now retired I still like to watch.
God afton! Thats nice to hear, thanks for watching!
Excellent work! I’ve never been able to get used to swinging a Swedish hammer, though. For some reason I really feel most comfortable with a French hammer. I know, it’s weird 😂. I’m going to build myself a tire hammer one of these days. I can imagine it makes the work so much faster.
Thank you! Never tried a french hammer!
Maybe you could make a war hammer next! Great video Nils, keep them coming!
Thanks!
I prefer a short handle on my hammer's but I like them even shorter than what you made. To counter the balance issue this creates I make a ball cap that I attach to the end of the handle. I feel that I can control the hammer better with a much shorter handle then is normal or even recommended. Not sure if there's any other smiths out there that feel the same way or if it's just me.
But I do like the look of the head much better then what is found here in Germany or even back in the States.
Thank you!
@ most welcome. I just wish I still had all my equipment. Haven't done any forging in almost 10 years. I don't have a place where I live that I can do any forging. But at least I can still watch someone that makes some amazing things like you do. Keep up the great work.
Well, it's not just your feeling... it's physics. Shorter handle gives more control, longer handle gives more power into the strike. Finding the perfect balance between power and and control is the real trick here.
Many people use a longer handle than they need to, so they can hold it further down if the need some extra force.
@@vadimblin I know it's physics. Also it's the reason I use a metal ball cap on the end of the handle, not only does it help balance it also acts like a stopper sort of like that on the end of a bat and allows me to grip at the very end of the handle for that extra power when needed. And you are so right about finding that sweet spot between power and control. It does change for each person which is why self made tools are always better then payed for ones. You can make them to your specific needs and likes. At least in my opinion. With that said one of my favorite hammers was one a friend made me when I first started and it does have quite a long handle but I tend to choke up on the handle most of the time, or maybe I should say I did as it's been quite some time sense I've used it.
Making a hammer with a hammer huh well I enjoyed it
Dumb question but, are some of those pockets a tool belt or are all of those attached to your pants? Regardless I like that set up, I can set something down and forget instantly where I put it....
All these pocket belong to the original pant!
@ wow who makes them I need a few pairs.
How did it feel when i first used it?
That musta been some tough steel that power hammer had a hard time moving it.
Yeah! C45 is quite tough, and my hammer is not the strongest
@ still quality work though. I wish I could make the slit for punching the eye that centered on the first try.
Nils Osterberg Do you prefer propane to coal for forging?
It depends what you are making, but generally, yes
Tuyệt vời.Great
Are those Blåckläder pants?
Will you make me one? I have been looking for a Swedish hammer like this for years
Sleep can wait
Haha
Do you make any of those for sale
I suppose i could, id probably want to make a few more before im confident enough to sell them.
@ let me know if you do n how much
@ well there's a positive up vote for you sir ,👍👍😁
It did turn out very nicely done
Do you sell these cross pein hammers
no, sorry. Was thinking about making hammers and selling them a while back. Might have to re think that.
Just as I was starting to learn how to use a power hammer, and happened upon some really nice 125mm machine axle, corona pandemic means I can't go to "my" shop. Shit.
Im sorry to hear that! Stay safe!
Vart köper du ditt stål någonstans?
Lite blandat beroende på uppdrag. Montano, castra steel bland annat
@ Ok tack.
Be carful you ruined the temper on you chisel
But really good hammer great job of the tempering I am going to try that next time
