Mark Wargo New2bs Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Yesterday I forged this new hammer with much help from Brian Brazeal and LDW so I thought I'd forge a hardy tool like we used in the class. As you can tell from the photo, my anvil is sorely lacking any square edges and the step has a melted appearance. I fired up the forge today and forged this hexagonal hardy tool from a piece of pry bar that I picked up at the local scrap yard. I will slightly radius a couple of the edges, but will leave two as they are now. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbrazealblacksmith Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 Great job, Mark! You know that will make your forging life much easier. You did a great job yesterday and it shows in that hammer you made, and I can tell you got alot out of this past week with that beautiful hardy tool you made all by yourself. It was a pleasure to meet and work with you, and I hope to work with you more in the future. Are you going to the ABANA Conference?

Mark Wargo New2bs Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Thanks Brian. I truly had a blast and I learned a lot. I won't be able to attend the ABANA conference due to work and family obligations, but I look forward to working with you again soon. Be safe on the road to ABANA.
