Don’t know if it’s been said yet but I genuinely appreciate the music being toned down in the background, I’ve always enjoyed hearing the work being done. 👍
I think it's really rare when something is made on youtube that can be considered an heirloom pice. But at least to me that is an heirloom pice who ever ends up with that hammer will keep it in their family for generations. Really nice work thanks for sharing.
The engraving reminds me of Edo period Tsubas I saw in a museum in Venice Italy, beautifully detailed with a high contrast due to the nature of the inlays ! We’ll done Ilya the hammer is mind blowing !
Wow, the artistry and expertise of those inlays was simply astounding! I also don’t think that I’ve ever seen someone forge weld steel to wrought iron before, but this was the perfect use case. You really know your craft well, and it was clearly shown by the making of this hammer. Well done lads, we’ll done!
You guys are artists. I love the look of your shop too. Compared to a certain other upbeat blacksmith shops channel, whose setting is very industrial, your shop is so much warmer and romantic. It looks like a really nice place to be. Keep it up!

I love everything you guys do. There’s no shame in your game. It’s all just pure talent. That was a beautiful hammer from an amazing source.. There will be a beautiful story attached to that build. I never have to worry about you guys manufacturing drama so that you can stretch out videos on builds. You’re just that damn good and I appreciate you for it!💃🏾💃🏾👍🏾👍🏾💯
I would absolutely LOVE to see more of "This to That" builds. You guys are doing such a fantastic job. Keep up the amazing work! I always look forward to seeing a new upload from this channel!
Absolutely beautiful craftsmanship as always! I really hope I can buy one of your hammers someday when I have the time and money to set up my forge again. They look like an absolute pleasure to use. As a kid, my dad always told me the best way to enter a craft is to buy good tools that make you crave using them. When he decided to learn to play the guitar at 16, he spent all the money he had saved up for a car to buy a Martin Dreadnought. It's been 50 years and he still plays that guitar everyday without fail. Wherever he goes, his Martin goes, and that guitar has been at his side as he has traveled all over the US and the world. Whichever craft you pursue, it has to become an addiction - the thing you do to procrastinate other things.
My only complaint is that you guys are too good! I have to go elsewhere to see how to fix the problems I run into. Lol. Maybe a video or two where you show how to fix common forging/grinding mistakes?
It's always a pleasure to see your work. In the Smith school I've been we have mostly the same fundamental technics and reasoning than you, but you have some extra tips/ideas/technics that differ from ours. So it's really instructive and entertaining for me to watch! Keep it up!
@@ThatWorks Wasn't Inigo using his father's sword? He handed it to Wesley to examine and he responded that he'd never seen it's like. . . I kinda assumed that meant it was his father's sword. Still - YES PLEASE!!! (my favorite movie of all time. . . MAWWAGE! :)
Great build, you guys are really getting into a good groove with the content on this channel lately. I don't miss Man at Arms: Reforged so much when there is great content and awesome builds like this being put out here.Any chance Ilya could make a set of historical lobstered gauntlets like the one he made as part of the shield build for the Forged in Fire final round challenge he knocked out of the park? It was really a thing of beauty, and I was disappointed that FiF showed so little of what went in to making the gauntlet specifically. I would love to see more of Ilya working on a build like that.
Please take me on as an apprentice!!!! Amazing work everything you do!!!? This is the most beautiful work I've ever seen!!! Art and function tied together!!! Amazing work!!!
I just have to comment on how perfect your musical choices are for your videos. Epidemic Sound crushes it each time. Sometimes I just put these videos on in the background to listen the awesomeness. Oh and I *guess* your smithing skills are great too. I'd love to see you make a flamberge montante. Also I'd love to buy a flamberge montante.
this is such a piece of art tool, no way it's worth only 2K. It should be much more, maybe 5K or so & I am sure there will be a collector that would buy this easy fast. Also, maybe an auction style might actually yield even bigger price.
How about a classic. The original Conan sword, either the one he found or the one his father made,or both....lol. Really enjoy yalls videos btw and look to get into blade smithing as soon as I get the extra time. Something I've always wanted to do but y'all really add to that passion!!!
a video dedicated to the fine artistry of the Hamon from the simple but extremely hard to pull off straight hamon to the most complex hamon out there. also include how to avoid auto tempering. i learned that you have to wait till your quench medium stops boiling to pull it off.
Man, I love this piece so much. both beautiful and practical! I got a couple of suggestion for you: to get rid of the lines when filming a screen you should set the shutter speed to above or below 60, seance 60 is the same as the refresh rate of typical screens. and compensate with the ISO and lighting. When the sound of a person speaking is to quiet it can be boosted with gain.
The only disadvantage I see there - the length of the video. I wish the engraving part could last a biiiiit longer.. However - thank you guys for sharing your craftsmanship with us. It's always a pleasure watching you make masterpieces. Илюха красавец, конечно. Настоящий мастер.
@@ThatWorks I totally understand that, guys. Just my jewish bitching, nothing more. Love Ilya engraving, I think I could spend hours watching the process.
What type of steel do you typically use for the cutting and punching tools? It seems like they need to be pretty hard and durable, as well. Do these types of tools last a long time with typical use? Thanks for all the great content! You guys are really great and I really appreciate the skill and dedication to the craft as well as your willingness to teach rather than strictly entertain.

Garet Konigsfeld thanks for watching !
I always love it when you guys do cool things like engraving, its an interesting process and you dont even need to always do inlays.
This one called for it though dont you think ?
I loved the little tips and reasoning in the top left corner
I appreciate it also
We will continue to add more of those !
Ilya is an amazing blacksmith. I remember seeing him on forged in fire and knew that there was no way he wouldn't win that episode.
I think he should be the judge instead
hell yeah i saw it too i was like "nah do you guys know who tf that long haired man is? cause you guys are bouta get wrecked".
R there TH-cam vids of that?
I gotta find this
When I saw him on that episode I called it that he would win.
The engraving reminds me of Edo period Tsubas I saw in a museum in Venice Italy, beautifully detailed with a high contrast due to the nature of the inlays ! We’ll done Ilya the hammer is mind blowing !
If you need a hammer to forge a hammer, where did the first hammer come from?
The Egg !
A rock I'd imagine
Now that is the conundrum!
Well... the first hammers may have been cast bronze.
Yo dawg, I heard you like forging hammers, so I forged you a hammer so you can forge hammers with the hammer.
Absolutely stunning work! It's cool enough watching raw materials transformed into tools or blades but Ilya's engraving and inlaying is top tier!
I don't care what you make next so long as the videos are this entertaining.
It's crazy he taught himself to engrave and then made his own tools for his engraving!
Wow, the artistry and expertise of those inlays was simply astounding! I also don’t think that I’ve ever seen someone forge weld steel to wrought iron before, but this was the perfect use case. You really know your craft well, and it was clearly shown by the making of this hammer. Well done lads, we’ll done!
Welding steel to wrought iron was the industry standard for tools until the Bessemer process made steel cheap.
You guys are artists. I love the look of your shop too. Compared to a certain other upbeat blacksmith shops channel, whose setting is very industrial, your shop is so much warmer and romantic. It looks like a really nice place to be. Keep it up!

They don't need drama cause they have enough skill to entertain us
I like seeing you guys take old metal and recycle it into something new and useful.
I would absolutely LOVE to see more of "This to That" builds. You guys are doing such a fantastic job. Keep up the amazing work! I always look forward to seeing a new upload from this channel!
A hammer has no right to be this beautiful. Especially when it's functional. Ilya kills it again.
Ilya, you are truly a master smith. Before you even started engraving, it was a thing of beauty. Now? Exquisite
Absolutely incredible! Who knew a hammer could be that gorgeous?! Amazing work.
Darren Salter thank you!

We all make mistakes! I show mine😂 and then I show how I did them also!
But i think they are a bit like a idol

Love it. Awesome 👍 thanks for allowing me to watch your videos.
Thanks for watching them !
A hammer worthy of a master blacksmith. Well done.
Really great video! Beautiful inlay.
I would 100% love to have one of these hammers as a display piece. Absolutely beautiful!
Great tool!! Please make another series of these tools with flowers! For some reason this reminds me of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
Wow the color difference between the heads and the rest of the head is gorgeous
Y'all do amazing work
Thanks bud
That hammer belongs in a museum, beautiful 👍👍
I thought Ilya's old coiling dragon hammer was sick, but this takes it up a few notches.
This is stunning. It blows my mind that this is hand made/ engraved by hand. Ridiculous skill!!
What talent sir! I so admire your skill and execution of raw materials into a work of art...thank you sir! And to all those at “That Works”...
I would love to see you guys make either Inigo's or Wesley's swords from "The Princess Bride"
Also best of luck to you.
Or the Fathers sword!
@@ThatWorks Yeah that would be awesome as well :-)
Shoot, make all three!!! (as time allows)

Good lord. So much attention and love for a mere hammer. I like it.
Holy shit that anchor chain is way bigger than I expected from the thumbnail. Nice vid.
Thank you for posting the video again. I love this hammer.

Каждый раз восхищаюсь работой Ильи. Мастер своего дела, не ремесленник, но художник👍
Nobody:
Even god at this point : this life is sponsored by raid shadow legends
Nicely done! When I have done my first sccessfull sword, I will treat myself with one like this.
It's really cool,guys,you're the best!!!
Is best !
As a Baltimore native I would love to see you forget in person
How about a classic. The original Conan sword, either the one he found or the one his father made,or both....lol. Really enjoy yalls videos btw and look to get into blade smithing as soon as I get the extra time. Something I've always wanted to do but y'all really add to that passion!!!
Amazing as always 👍
Well there's a hammer that will never get used! :) Sooo beautiful!
Thats one beautiful hammer, destined to forge a MASTERPEACE!
*ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!*
Looks straight out of legend!!!
I'd love to see you forge a two-handed flamberge using traditional techniques.

that hammer is bloody beautiful
Oh! Dude thats a beautiful work of art
Beautiful piece guys.
Incredible work gentleman.

always a pleasure to watch you guys create. 👍
Those flowers... amazing job!
Its so satisfying. Thank you so much 👏🏼👏🏼
This one is inspirational. I have some much smaller WI anchor chain. 1”, so I’ll have to forge weld a few. Thanks.
Man, I love this piece so much. both beautiful and practical!
