Forging a RUSTY Mini Sledge into a HATCHET

- Today we’re taking an old 2lb sledgehammer that I had laying around and forging it into a new hatchet to use while camping! I love taking these rusty tools and reforging them into something useful, they always are a fun project and allow me to do some decent forging! Plus, I wasn’t going to use this old hammer for anything, so it was good to get a new axe and have a fun project all at once! Let me know what projects you’d like to see!

I don’t k know how I never found your page before. But you got a follow out of me. All off that beautiful handle work. I am working on my own, and you make it seem effortless with that sander.
Brother, You're a G.
Awesome project keep up the work can’t wait for your next video
Thanks! I appreciate the support as always!!
Todd, it’s an absolute treat for an old boy like me to watch a young man making no excuses, but putting in the work to make great tools. Fantastic. What temperature and time did you temper in the oven please?
I did 450 degrees for 2 hours, maybe a little extreme but I didn’t want it to be brittle
And I appreciate the kind words! I love doing it and it means the world to see all the support I get!
Very nice , great job.
Thank you!
You should try to make a small carving knife, or a blacksmith knife.
@tinubaias4351 I think that’d be a fun project! I’ll definitely keep it in mind for the next few videos!
DUDE love the vid this project was awesome
Glad to hear it! I loved making it!
Underrated
Another awesome job. I like how you left the hammer texture in it. I have done that on a handful of knives I have made and I think it looks cool. Twice a year there is an open-air flea market that the wife and I always go to. I have bought a number of hammers from there and usually all they need is a new handle or some dressing up. For a couple of bucks you can't go wrong.
Exactly hammers always make for fun projects! And yeah I wanted to keep some of the functionality and aesthetic of the hammer in the hatchet!
Awesome project.
Thanks, I enjoyed it a lot!
Great job brother! Keep up the great work! Thanks for sharing! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥🔪
Thanks I appreciate it!!
Thanks for the inspiration. Always enjoy seeing your videos because I'm just starting out blacksmithing and I love seeing someone do what you do with minimal tools. Can't wait for your next project!
I love seeing these kind of comments! It means a lot, and I’m glad you enjoyed this project!
hay bro strted forging cuz of u would like to see more vids
online store. Let us buy some hatchets
The handle came out amazing?
Question for you bud, working from your parents small shed, do you get much grief from neighborhood Karen's over the hammering noise or are you far enough away from neighbors?
