  1. Hi,

    I'm from northern Minnesota and I would like to make a hawk also. I'm thinking I would like to use a solid piece and pierce a hole and then drift the hole for the handle. I'm trying to find the right style of hawk to make? I have friends that are asking for some hawks and I'm not sure what to deliver. Any ideas as to what styles you would like to make? 

  2. Local radio stations like KAXE out of Grand Rapids Mn. a listener supported station with paid and volunteer DJ's. Wide range of music, NPR news that tells you more, local programs that listeners call in on. One of my favorites "Car Talk" with Click & Clack was discontinued because they retired. Another great program "Green Cheese" which listeners call in on trivia questions. All  around great station.

  3. Thanks for the feedback. To answer Doug about the concern of the weld. He thinks that when I heat treat the die it will absorb the carbon into the welded area. I personally didn't agree with him and I told him I would ask this forum. By the way the die is made of 4140. His suggestion to me was to make the whole die out of one piece and eliminate the weld.<br />I know these hammers have been around for a while and I really haven't heard of any problems.

  4. Has anyone used a bearing race for knife blade? My best guess as to the composition of the steel is 52100. I'm wondering if there would be any problems with the alloy in the steel. Would it be hard to forge? The added alloy I believe is chromium. Any thought out there?
