I Forge Iron

Rounding Hammer


Harris Snyder

Recommended Posts

Countryforge and I forged this rounding hammer. It's not the cleanest rounding hammer I've seen, but it was my first time striking and my accuracy was miserable. I like the look of it anyways :} . Overall I'm really happy with it, I absolutely love forging with the round face. The location of the eye punch hole and the way the handle was sanded make the hammer slightly heavier on the rounded side, which I like cause I'm a fan of the weight forward style of hammers, and I use the rounding face on this hammer more than the flat one.

I tend to put function before looks where tools are concerned so if it works the way you like you're golden. Nothing wrong with the looks either. Few things are as satisfying as using a tool you made with your own hand.

 

All in all well done Harris.

Thanks frosty ;)

 

Yeah I dunno what it is exactly that I like so much about it, I think it might be the 1045 or the heat treatment... I have another hammer that was made by glen stollmeyer of GS tongs, also 1045. Just love the way the impact feels compared to the store bought hammers I have which feel almost too hard. I like it to feel like a thump not a "ding" if that makes sense.
