thoa71 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 New to IFI but have been reading for a long time. A world of knowledge available to the novice. A few of the posters/contributors have influenced my trials, helped me understand my mistakes and recognize my successes. I've just about got the claw hammer complete - ton of fun making with my trusty striker Bob S. I've got to cut the groves in the head and finish the orange Osage handle. Bob and I have made a few other tools changing off striking and directing. The forging hammers weigh 1 3/4LB, 2 3/4lb and 3 3/4lb with the handles. How do they look? The good, bad and any good helping hints are welcomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaughnT Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Spectacular work, sir. Love the look of the carpenter's hammer, but those other ones aren't too shabby, either!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridgewayforge Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Great looking tools; I am curious of the steel used in each, and a description of each. That is some good work and I think I may "borrow" your ideas sometime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
