Found you a couple of hours ago and couldn't even pause watching to comment til now. Could have put this comment on any I've watched. Here's a prediction from 50 years in your future: Your ability to teach and encourage will be even more valuable to you and those around you than your ability to create...and I think that's saying a lot. Going to search now to see if you have a store I can buy your work. Young people like you give me hope things might be OK for my grandchildren.
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.
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?
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 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.
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?

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!
Absolutely love this bro and I'm going to give it a try myself!

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!

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!
