De St Uby Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I needed a 45 degrees hammer. So I took an old 4 kg hammer, then I cut it with my angle grinder... The 2 sides after cutting : And there in comparison with a 1 kg hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Seems kind of on the heavy side for a one handed hammer! It must still be at least 7 1/2 pounds! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I have one that looks just like that, but a whole lot lighter. Richard Thebeau made mine. Works great. That one, like bigfoot said, would be a might heavy for much one handed hammering. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksnagel Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Nice job on the hammer. It looks like it's made for manley men with firm hardy handshakes. Not for the faint of wrist. Good luck with it. Mark<>< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 We had a fellow in SWABA make himself a double 45 deg hammer. Used an old double jack, heated it and then put it into a hydraulic press: Squish, flip, Squish and the extrusion side effects did most of the face dressing too!

De St Uby Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Of course I plan only to use it for certain works, I would never forge all day with such a hammer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Turley Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 What does it do? How used" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Frank, I believe it's a double angle pien. (L&R). Mine looks just like that and that's what mine is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthibeau Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I call them "Double Diagonals".....one end is a left hand diagonal, the other is a right hand diagonal. Both ends angle in the same plane, but work different when used and turned.Hammer link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthibeau Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 De St Uby.....I'm not sure, but it seems from your photos that whichever way you hold your hammer, you have a right hand diagonal pein.....not both left and right??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anderson G. Phillips Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De St Uby Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Yes, it is a right hand diagonal pein, not both left and right, it will be enough for me I believe (I can have made a mistake also with my idea) . I plan to use it to flatten big round bars (sometimes only)... Re-cut an old hammer is faster then forging a new one and I was especially curious about the result. @rthibeau Very nice your hammer,I like it.
