Momatt Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I would like to try out a brazeal style rounding hammer after watching some videos. I like the round and flat dies on the same hammer. Can't find any in the usual places. Does he sell them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Frog Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Take a class with him, first thing you'll do is make one of your own before noon..... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Dave Custer sells Brazeal type turning hammer, I don't know if Brian does though. You can buy commercial turning hammers at farrier supplies. but the very best deeal is takig a class with Brian, you get all the tools and lessons in how to use and make them. It's a win win.

Momatt Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 I wish I had the time to take a class. I work a lot of hours, have limited time off and have 5 kids from 11 to 2 that make be heading off to MS for a few days unlikely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Mullins Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I have also really been interested in rounding hammers since seeing his videos. I hope to forge my own with him one day. Its not the same, but just for something to tied you over, you can do what I did and round off a hammer with a grinding wheel. So far I have taken a 2 lb engineering hammer and rounded it. I plan to do the same with a 3 and 4 lb. At less than $10 each from HF you can afford to play around a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Emig Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 Nathan Robertson makes a nice rounding hammer in different weights. Nice tools,well made and fairly priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If you want a good commercial rounding hammer made by a Master Farrier contact Jim Keith, they are a top notch hammer. He lives in Tucumcari, NM, just Google him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CKillgore Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Also, I know Brian does sell them because I asked about it. They are $250 (same price as spending a day with him). I am hoping I'll be able to spend a few days with him within the next year. Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Can you arrange to attend Quad-State in western OH in late September? Lots of folks selling really nice hammers! (and I go from NM when I can and a friend flies in from the US Virgin Islands; other friends drive from eastern Canada; shoot we've even had a fellow from NZ show up!)
