LDW Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Jason lives in a town near here and I think he saw Brian on Iforgeiron. He contacted Karen and ended up taking a one day class. I was working on a trailer but took some pics as I could. Brian said they stayed up till after 1:00 AM, (thats what I call a one day class) Jason had gotten there at 6:30 AM that same morning. Brian always says he will forge as long as you want to, its your class. There are some nice pics of them cutting a piece of stock that ended up being a large fuller for the hardy hole. I had to leave so did not get to see the finished hardy. Here are the pics https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/JasonsTripToBrians# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryforge Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I know this is a late post but what size blank was used for the hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbrazealblacksmith Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 That hammer was made from 2" round 1045 , 4 1/2" long and it made a 3 3/4 pound hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryforge Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Thanks Brian Are there any more links to pics for making your hammers. Up here in Ontario Canada there is not much available for tool making. I am making the fullers used in the pics I have seen, but the sizes I may have to guess at. Just got in a 600 lb beater block that I can hit on, this will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
