- Let's make this special hammer together and I will share with you its very special job. In todays video I make a small cross peen hammer with a very special job. The hammer weighs in at about 1.1lbs and was forged from C45 (1045). I will also be telling you how you can get you hands on a hammer that I have made in the most recent TMIB hammer raffle. I'm also sharing the new TMIB website and online shop.
I will be making this tool using basic blacksmithing and wood working skill. There will be a section in the video on heat treating and also how to handle tools. This hammers was made for a young man that wants to get into blacksmith. it is to be used on hot metal in combination with an anvil.
I hope you enjoy and thanks for watching.

Seems the link for the shop isn't working I'll need to sort it out but for the mean time this should work.

I thought it was a wonderful story and for a much needed cause.
I like the idea for the support leg when making the handle
Wow! Awesome Job Dan!
I've been forging tools and tooling for some fifty years, just getting back to it, in the most serious way, never did it except as needed, and beginning to do it for its own pleasure, and I've found you are a very serious, well experienced man with a good mind for tools. I almost cried, or laughed, when I saw the hammer you split, I've done the same, both forged tools, and tooling make from tool steel, machined and heat treated, and had the oil too cool. You work is quite impressive, efficient, short work, and keeping the work up to heat. I like your style and your way of describing your intent, and demonstrating the techniques, I wish I could visit and spend a few months in your shop with you, and come away with substantially better skills. It means everything, to pass on skills, we spent our lives acquiring, with those few who have the burning desire to make things become. Hammers and tongs are so basic, yet so essential, and one can't have too many. Thanks again for some very fine work.
Really good video. Very nice hammer beautiful story. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. God bless forge on.
I like that design Dan!
Nice hammer Dan. Great to hear the business is growing. You certainly fuelled my fire to learn.
Great job brother!!! Keep it up !!
I had a young lad visit my forge last week as he is interested in Blacksmithing, so I did a massive knowledge dump and sent him off with a ball pein hammer head and some steel. Hopefully it's the start of a great journey for him.
Congrats on the leap forward in business! Very cool hammer👍⚒️♥️😀🍺
Cool hammer and awesome reason to make it! Thanks and God Bless you Dan!
You have definitely inspired the next generation.
Thank you so much. I hope Cyrus and you and all the family is doing well. thank you for all the support means the world.
Sign of a true artist, make a mistake? Experiment with it!!!👍
You the man Dan. Very nice looking hammer 👍 you have always gave to the young. The Boss always thanks you 😎
Kissing up huh. Lmbo
🙏🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️💜
@@dragonstonegemironworkscra4740 always Daniel 😜
Sharing our skills are a gift to the next gen, Legacy for us. Awesome job mate!
Hoy, Dan -Happy new year!
Fantastic looking hammer, Dan, and such a great reason to make it. Well done. Keep up the good work. Eric, USA
Btw, your videos have inspire one of my sons to get involved and learn. So, Thank you for that as well.
Man! That new hammer's got more curves than Kim Kardashian. SWEET! That young man will be proud.
But give yourself some credit on that first hammer. You broke it perfectly....right down the middle.
So glad to see your channel and business growing! It gives me hope just starting out that Ill be able to turn my hobby into something more one day soon. Picked up a raffle ticket and hope I will something!
Right on love it. I hope I get reach that point someday. I just started I am 66 a little late but rock on. Very cool bss.
Nice job 👍 🤙
Beautiful work dan ..
Thank you so much 😀
Dan, awe man what set back. But it looks epic in 2 peices in a way.
Dude trust me when i say You've been an inspiration to many a young smith. Present company 1st hand experiance.
Glad to see the growing pains, youve earned it .
🙏 Well wishes and blessings your way.
Crawford out 🔥⚒️🧙🏼♂️
Very cool!
Great vid mate the little hammer is awesome and the new site is looking good just need to fill it up with some stock 👍
Ngl my last package did look like some off Colombian finest. Keep up the good work! Loving the blacksmith helper
Lol! I'm laughing at that because the guy who teaches me smithing gets his coke from Columbia! Apparently there's a great big mine that provides some of the best forge fuel that is (legally!) exported to where I live!. I'm a simple guy, I want to whack bits of metal with a great big hammer, but I laughed hard when the smith told me the fuel was high grade Columbian coke because my simple mind found an obvious but wrong meaning in the joke.
Hi Daniel I'm shore the young man will love the hammer.
And all the best for the new year mate , cheers, (:
Happy New Year Dan!! I know that hammer splitting was a failure, but it actually looks really cool. I'd keep it on a shelf somewhere...... maybe put it somewhere where a visitor to your shop could pick it up and you have an instant practical joke 😁🤣😂🤣 yes, I know I'm evil, I might have even stuck a security tag to the bottom of a supermarket trolley in the past 😂🤣😂🤣😂👍
No angry you're leaving Etsy and open up of your own shop.
All the best for 2021 ;)
Hi Dan Great looking hammer , by the way Happy New Year from the Wrens
Beautiful work my brother!! I have to say your work continues to look amazing. I won a hammer from you in a raffle about a year ago and I use it everyday. It is not only functional but also a thing of beauty. Keep up the amazing work and thanks for the inspiration you bring with every video 👏👏👏
Nice little hammer and a great save. I shows you're level of skill
From the Sandlot : "You're Killing Me, Smalls!" 🙉
Well.. at least you salvaged it! Had a nice finish when done.
I paid $120 recently for a german one, but for repoussé. Use it for hammering copper sheaths.
Amazing hammer Daniel, well done!
Great Job, I think its amazing that your looking to inspire others and looking at some of the comments I think you already have xx
Blimey mate you split that clean in half! I think the hammer came out great Dan and you have certainly inspired many including myself
Brilliant! lovely job, great to see you moving on in your business. Best of luck in 2021 and beyond.
I've split 2 4140 hammers.. I feel your pain..
That hammer is so cute, love the lines. And good on you for persevering with the broken hammer, just shows a blacksmith can recover most mistakes. Your hammer skills have improved so much over the last few years. Keep it up Dan, and good to see new store and website.
Thank you len and thank you so much for all your support.
I joke that blacksmiths were the original "reuse and recycle" advocates.
Looks a great hammer to me. I’m sure the little man will love it.
@Daniel Moss ...just a thought I have the same angle grinder (this can happen with them all) , if you put a piece of waxed cereal packet between the nut and the grinding disk it stops the nut locking solid against the grit...I have had to get another angle grinder with a thin cutting disc on to remove the old one before the nut would budge. saves a lot of time and swearing.
Love it! I literally asked my wife for 2 hammers for Christmas far too small for me but intended on inspiring my 3 young kids to hopefully take up the craft (with any luck before the old mans arm gives out lol)
Great to see you back again in 2021, Looking forward to more great content!

The design of the hammer is for armor making that is really nice of you for making it for a new smith
Where have you got that from? If you said sheet metal work or pinning hammer I'd be like yeah but armour? I'm pleased you like the hammer thanks for the comment.
I don't want to labour this point but the hammer shape is more victorian than Europe medieval. I would honestly do some research into what sort tools medieval Smith where using and not the type of miss placed tools you see in film. If you went to a modern body shop you might find hammers like this one but the kind a 14c armourer might have used would look more like a bow (as in a bow and arrow) with fat ends.
I like your comment and just find it interesting how we miss place tools. 1850-1950 early cinema and guess work history has led to a great deal of miss understanding. If you could find a genuine image of a medieval blacksmith hammer or even a hammer that was for pannel work you would be very lucky. I should think it would look very odd indeed.
@@danielmoss2089 here is what I found images.app.goo.gl/NziXGbk7yF5wN4Bz6
That's a modern body workers hammer or more likely a pin hammer not a medieval amorous hammer. I get where your coming from but the hammers used to make real amour look nothing like this. www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Armourers-and-their-workshops-%3A-the-tools-and-of-Dupras/9325134174331643aed5432fc72a3413b7829d4e See figure 24. The hammers used in the reconstructions are modern hammers. This website has loads of great information on historical armour making and you should find it very interesting. The hammer you showed is a modern dropped forged hammer suggesting its common and the making of armour isn't body work is more common but no where near as common as pinning floor boards or feathering which the hammer you have show is really used for.
I suggest you search pin hammer and you will see!
Gotta love the creator community
The website looks good. 4140 is an alloy steel and not tool stee by the way. It can fracture when worked too cool. That's quite the stress line split. Acid etch would be neat to see.
I did that with my first 4140 hammer. Probably cold oil.
Great video, really nice little hammer. I would love to buy a ticket for that raffle, but the price is a little high for me. Have a gread 2021!
I don't think it's corny or cliched at all. I think it's great, to help The young ones alone. A very neat looking Hammer as well. I was going to suggest turning it into a chipping hammer if it didn't come out but I did. And I like it
You make it look so easy. I recently forged my first hammer and it took me multiple days. I'm REALLY happy I stuck with it, though. The thing is great. I used a similar process (before the pneumatic hammer part).
Happy New Year Dan! Hope you had a nice christmas as well!
Thanks! You too!
Thank you for all you do, keep up the great work 👏
Thank you! Will do!
Woo first! Hope you had a good Christmas Dan
Another great video and that hammer looks great hope to get to see you sometime this year a course or just a visit 👍
Top de mais parceiro like 👍👍👍
Great video and I would really love to own one like that
Thanks for watching! Give me a shoot and Ill see what i can do.
Nice hammer Dan, a bummer the first decided to crumpet itself! You did not explain the function of this hammer, I suspect it is for armor mongering or other light duty work?
Happy new year young man!
Happy new year! Thank you soooo much.
Happy to see you growing youve definitely earned it. Did you ever get the t shirts sorted? I got one from you a while back and the logo peeled off.
Yeah there was an issue with the vynal. Email me and I'll sort you a new one.
Turned out nice in the end! 😎 What did the grain look like close up? If it was nice and smooth with no noticeable grain then I would say stress, or quench.
Cold oil is actually softer quench than hot oil as the added viscosity of it being cool holds the film away from the smoke. If the grain is noticeable then it was too hot before quench. Also because of the chromium it will require a little bit of soak to ensure all the alloys are distributed correctly,little to no soak can cause it to fracture during quench. 👊
Grains tight as you like nothing out of the ordinary. I'll message you later as I think I know what I did hehe
@@danielmoss2089 👊
🤙
That is a fucking beautiful hammer .😺🙊
Nice little hammer. Was that forklift tyne? Anyway all the best for 2021. Stay safe.
That broke or I used?
@@danielmoss2089 That you made the second hammer with. Just looked like a bit of tyne when you cut it.
Dude 227.50 for the rounding hammer online??? Whaaaaadafuk
Well that's the price for my time and the materials still cheaper than an alec steele hammer and I can guarantee the face are in line hehe
I'll have to agree with ya 💯 on his product quality and symmetricalness or lack there of I mean. I'd pay the 227.00 only if it had Bluetooth and a donut holder forged to scale spec lol
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✔✔
A quick question regarding the C45 steel you used. My anvil is cast out of C45. I've been using it for years now and haven't noticed any major dings or chips. Would it be worth considering hardening and tempering it? Thx.
If your anvil is C45 then you will notice dings and chips if it wasn't hardened. C45 is a carbon steel at about 0.45% carbon and not much more. This means it behaviour much like mild steel till its hardened.
@@danielmoss2089 Now to find a realllly big forge. Thx man!
🇧🇷👀
That is a sweet looking hammer (see what I did there?). 😜
Dan, there is an issue with your website. It doesn't work because you missed the end of the address off in the description section. That must be worth a free raffle ticket? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha all the best, Jon!
On it
all sorted it was co.uk on the end thank for letting me know.
Sexy hammer! 🤘
Also - the link to your website is missing the .co.uk on the end (above).
All sorted thank you and thank you fro all the great comments and support this year.

Dan the website and oline shope URL does not work, should be something after the trustmeimablacksmith. Lik dot uk or something.
It should have been sorted its. Co. UK.
Www.trustmeimablacksmith.co.uk
@@danielmoss2089 Ok good Dan, in your description there was no bit on the end. All good mate. cheers Len.
