Damion78 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 What do you think? This is a sledgehammer that I repurposed today. Started out as an 8lb sledge now it's a 5lb cross peen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfootnampa Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Well for me, that size would be for use with a striker, and I'd want a long handle on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Nothing wrong with that! I regularly use a 4lb sledge because it moves metal fast and easy, even when doing light work, and have often thought of turning the one end into a cross-peen.

Damion78 Posted October 19, 2014 Author Share Posted October 19, 2014 I'm new to smithing but so far I like the feel of a heavy hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
