Cavpilot2k Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Ah, searching Ebay does indeed produce good results. It looks like a lot of manufacturers sell their cutoff scrap, much of it good steel in bar form. I like it - thanks for the tip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyMetals.com has 1045 in 2" square, 24" = $61.78; also 4140 cold rolled 24" = $76.75 or de-carb free 24" = $96.92 I used Arlo Steel and Peerless steel to get 8' lengths hammer material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 The hammer makers I know buy round bar and convert it to the sizes they need. Nathan Robertson has made something like 5500 hammers this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
