Frosty Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Nice solo job Rhett. How's it work? Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLMartin Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Looks like a great short hammer head! Now its time to forge a 6 - 7 pound one for striking and have Royce strike for you next time. My arm hurts just thinking about forging a hammer by hand again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockstar.esq Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 It'd be neat to see the hammer that made this hammer. That's very nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhettbarnhart Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 thanks for the compliments,the hammer works great and im happy with it except for I got the eye punched a little bit off center. Mac I have a 2.25in billet of 1045 but idk if that is big enough,as to forging the hammer by hand I really didn't mind it as long as I worked it HOT!! thanks rockstar here is the hammer I used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockstar.esq Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Thanks for posting the picture. It took quite a bit of work no doubt. Your hammers are reproducing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 WOW! A breeder hammer, I have often heard them described otherwise but "breeder hammer" will do for this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
