Very good man! On my second channel I did a "hammer hack" and used a high carbon wood wedge to make a cross peen. My aim was to demonstrate that using the wedge was a way for a beginner/novice(any level)to make there own hammer with little tools and use it. Anvil, hammer, eye punch, grinder and something to cut the extra length of he wedge,(hot cut, hardy cut, angle grinder ect.) It was my second hammer ever and it turned out pretty well. Looks like a dog head hammer with a cross peen lol. But soon I will have more income to get better steel and do it from scratch. Gots a spot at our farm market this spring and some live demos at a few hippie fests this summer. Thanks for all you do man! Seriously 🍻
Very cool... lovely hammer head!

Appreciate you being here!
I love hammer making videos. It looked great at the end great work.
Im enjoying the new format
Nice work, Mr. Trent! I use the straight peen hammer you made me all the time, it's one of my favorites.
Thank you for buying one!
Traditionally smiths used the tools they had at the time. We’re doing the same by using what is available to us
Absolutelty
I like the new vids!
Appreciate you still being here to watch!
Nice. I like that design better than your old one too.
Still not really happy with this, I'd like a little more beef on the front end
I actually made a dual diagonal cross peen hammer out of S7. I didn't forge any of it, I used my 2×72 to grind it to shape.
You burned up a lot of belts!
I would actually love to have one of your hammers
As long as you have been here? Thought you had bought the whole set!
@@purgatoryironworks Naw Trent, haven't been able to come off of the money for one... Ret military remember? I'm poor as a church mouse... LOL
What do you think of the commercial oils for quenching? Worth the extra $$?
If you are doing production work, yes. If you do less than 20 blades a month, get canola
Where can a feller get a high temp thermometer? Something up to 3000 degrees?
I got mine from amazon, only goes up to 2700F
Free fall means what?
