Hey Y`all,
Been working on my first hand hammer today. I started with a piece of 1.5"x1.5" inch 4140 4 1/4" long. I slitted & driffted the eye and started forging the rounding peen. I also forged out the the eye cheeks like Mr. Hofi does. I`ll keep y`all updated. I hope to finsh it VERY soon . Sorry but i forgot to take pictures. I`ll be making the handle from scratch, going cut the piece of dog wood to shape with bandsaw then sand to final shape.
