    So I finally finished up with adze's used claw hammers. They aren't as nicely done as nick's fine example above but functional none the less opted to cut the claws because I'm lacking in the tong department for now. Honed to a fairly sharp edge for now one with an inside bevel and one outside.

    Looking for ideas of hardy tools or anything useful to forge from a 1 1/4 inch torsion bar just made a cut off hardy (works great) and a light radius swage. Was thinking about a fuller next but wanna know if there's any other ideas of useful stuff I can make out of it to build up my tool collection which is very limited

    I forged a hot cut hardy today out of a peice of torsion bar from a pickup and was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on heat treating it or if it's a waste of time because the heat it's gonna be seeing cutting.

    Spent some time breaking in the new brooks 100#er today and taught the girlfriend some basics , but I may be in trouble I think we have a natural! Had her make a couple hooks that came out pretty nice for her first experience with the forge.

    I'm Hoping the weather is wrong today or changes, and this heavy rain stays as a light rain , try to cover the forge abit keep out as much water as i can and sit the anvil under our deck not high enough to have the forge under there to tho i dont think, dont really wanna burn down the house, small propane unit would come in handy on days like theres though.

    So Since its Raining Pretty good in my neck of the woods, and doesnt seem like its gonna stop anytime soon, i have a lovely day off from work, New Anvil to try out and all i dont know how long i can wait. so ill probably be out in the rain later, since i dont have a proper shop to work inside yet. What is the WORSTE WEATHER any of you have been out forging in??

    That could work I have the part of the barrell from the 55 forge I just built to upgrade from my combination BBQ/forge setup lol heated steel quick and burgers quicker
  15. NickOHH

    Just gotta swap the rr track off the stump might work on making a proper stand for her
  17. NickOHH
    Might have some rain tomorrow so I'll be off work since I do landscaping if it's not real bad might try to break her in

    There are to many people to complain around me I'm in the suburbs right outside Philly or near a bunch of row homes or I would be out there right now
  19. NickOHH
    Yea I'm itching to start hammering away on it.

    So after posting in the tailgating section looking for an anvil to upgrade from my rr track anvil on Friday I have come home today with a 100#/ 45 kg brooks anvil that looks like it has never seen a hammer before. Sharp edges that need to be rounded off a hair still has most of its original blue paint. Excited to hammer on it soon! I was wondering if anyone knew any history of Brooks England or if it can be dated I don't see any date marking on it just weight and England. But big thanks to the community for tryin to find me something good.

    thats pretty nice , i like the curled up claws, and claw hammers are less useful to me, even if i can get ball peins for really cheap.
  23. NickOHH
    Thanks for all the input guys. Haven't started it yet but will probably be my next project

    Nice andy, i am debating weather or not to just go for it and not worry about srewing up the eye, but i am also pretty new to it and want to get it right Vaughn that makes sense, im looking into some easy designs for making one this weekend, i didnt consider the eye being taper both ways on the hammer before for a drift, so that would work to keeo the eye safe very nicely. and how'd you know i was using a ball peen lol. <script type="text/javascript"> //
