Thanks for adjusting the intro music, I didn't have to pull of my headphones this time.
That's a pretty cool looking billet, I think the plates on the ends add to the look.

[@forge52100]

Nice job, but extra improved plow steel is either 1080 or higher carbon steel if I remember rite. More than hard enough for a hammer face, actually a bit too high for my preference, but easy enough to temper back. Be interesting to see the finished product.

[@BBForge]

as always love the Damascus that you come up with. Grats on the 20K as well

[@johnmichael283]

Purty neet. Congrats on 20k

[@thebmac]

20K subs! would you ever believe that 20K people wanted to watch you work? Excited for the give away whenever it happens since I missed out on 10K.

[@jaredwilliams5252]

[@PaulFontaniniArtist]

Sweet Billet mate!

[@brandoncox7460]

I'm jealous lol that will be a pretty sweet looking hammer if James does some fancy grinding on it to expose the cable pattern

[@BIGDOGFORGE]

Thanks for watching Brandon, I think James will do a great job if the billet holder together. Cross your fingers.

[@charlesholcomb6548]

wire rope for cranes, both the load line and wire checkers are made of IPS or improved plow steel. not sure of the composition but that is what it is called in the industry

[@carlottafolli452]

[@ernestsheffield9976]

Cool!

[@BIGDOGFORGE]

Thanks.

[@bryanrobinson1980]

I watched some Japanese blacksmith videos that demo forge welding hard faces on a softer hammer billet to create good faces and maybe a less expensive more forgiving hammer body.

[@BIGDOGFORGE]

Cool info thanks.

[@Uncle_Bucks_Forge]

I have a crane cable I got from work. It is probably 200 ft long but only about 1/2" dia. I want to try to make a knife one of these days.

[@oliviabishop5451]

you need to go on Forged on Fire so very good at forge welding.

[@BIGDOGFORGE]

Your very kind, thanks again...
