June 22, 200917 yr Hello I FORGE IRON, My name is Blair. I am new to Blacksmithing. I apprenticed to a Farrier for a year. I have a O'Dwyer 209Lbs anvil on a stump. My forge is a Forgemaster Blacksmith model. I have been using my rounding hammers for all of my forging until today. For Father's day my wife and daughter gifted me a Swedish style Peddinghaus 1000gr hammer and some OffCenter tongs.
June 22, 200917 yr Welcome aboard Blair sounds like a great fathers day gift. Send me one of your old rounding hammers mine grew "legs" and "walked" away. lol
June 22, 200917 yr Welcome aboard Blair, glad to have ya. Rounding hammers are just dandy. The only one I use nearly almost as often is a straight pein. Nice Father's day present. Frosty
