Chris Covington Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This weekend I forged a hammer with my Dad. This was the first time I have forged a hammer solo ( without someone more experienced at least watching ). It turned out great. The final weight was around 3lbs 8 oz and was forged from 4140 truck axle that was 1 7/8 diameter and about 4 1/2 inches long (if my memory serves me right ) This could not have been possible without the great mentoring I have recieved from Lyle Wynn, Ed and Brian Brazeal and David Gaddis.

tulsavw Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Looks great! I can't wait to make a hammer like this. Just need to make a stop by the ol' junkyard and pick up and axle or three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Couldn't ask for better than that, and you got Pops in on the action. Decades from now you'll remember that time whenever you look at that wonderful tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
