territorialmillworks Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Can't pass up "free" but don't know what to use them for...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Daniel.85 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I have one that I use as a door stop. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toolish Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Guess you could take a little weight off one of them making it a cross pein and a straight pein for drawing out bigger bits of steel. Or you could make a really portable anvil out of it, maybe something specifically for arrow smithing. Or just have a few spares unless you just treat the heads like stock and make something totally different. Just a few random ideas Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigfootnampa Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I would reforge them into striker sledges with cross or straight peens and a rounded striking face. They will probably lose close to a pound of scale in the reforging and heat treating process and end up around 7# which is a pretty good size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Olivo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Use one as a striking sledge. Use one to make a large flatter. Reforge one into a ball faced struck tool. :D just my 3 cents :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan P. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 forge weld them all together and make one 24lb sledge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andys MQ Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 forge weld them all together and make one 24lb sledge. Love it !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan P. Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 It's just what makes sense to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThomasPowers Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Free? Grab them and then trade two off for different hammers! Though I like having both long handled and short handled sledges---that would only leave you with 1 for trading. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EWCTool Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You could forge one end down to fit into the hardy hole. Cut the thing in half so that the eye forms a semicircle and either grind or forge the eye into a swage. I have done something similar to this and it makes a dandy swage. This way you get 2 swages from one head. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
