NickOHH Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 That finished up nice. What did you do for heat treat? Heat treating is pretty much my main reservation for hammer making. I've reforged a couple before (including a diagonal pien I drew out the wrong way) and I usually end up tempering them back too much out of caution. i normalized after forging, then heated to a low orange and quenched in slightly warm veggie oil, tempered at 375 for about and hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panday Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Cool, let us know how it does after a few thousand strikes. I might have missed it but, do you know about what it weighs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
