Here our high school . voc. school welding classes count for hrs. at the Community Voc. school to get your certs. Next semster I`am taking a welding blueprint class at our voc. school. Then next year I`am taking the welding & machine shop classes. Becasue i want some machining expreince.

Not sure where I`am going buy em from . The hand hammer i reforged moves metal much better.

The edges were Real Sharp , and the peen came out real narrow .Thanks

Hey Y`all, Saturday i went over to Wayne`s shop. Well the main purpose was to reforge swedish style hammers bought from BS Depot & BS supply. Wqayne demoed it first , then my cousin & a guy reforged his hammer, then I reforged mine. After My cousin & kent left I stayed for a while longer, and Wayne taught me to use the Big Blu air hammer of his. I forge a rr spike to 25"inches long. I plan on turning it in to a steak turner and making a long horn head out of the head of the spike. Which bringas me to wanna to build a Power hammer of some sort. I consider the aire hammer that Abana sells the plans for but Id have to buy a air compessor. So I have decied to build a tire hammer. I planon ordering the plans and building one. I`am going go ahead and start getting steel & stuff for it though. Chris PS I posted some pics of the hammer and of the spike.
