Rashelle Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thought I'd share approximately 2.7 lbs crosspein with a little file work across the top. Sitting next to a hammer blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.C. Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Love the look of the hammer. I usually don't worry about my handles much, but that tree really sets the whole thing off. What grade steel was the starting stock for the head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matto Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Nice organic shape and flow of the hammer lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thank you D.C. and Matto. It was either 4140 or 1045 I forgot which. Caleb picked up the stock and we used what he brought in to teach him to make a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rashelle Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share Posted October 4, 2016 Thanks Aus. Every once in awhile I get a wild hair. It'd been awhile since I'd made a cross pein so thought it should be celebrated. Matto I had a coworker take the picture, I'm rather technically challenged, will see if I can remember to have him take another one, when we're both in, in a couple days. The tree and brush going around the bottom of the handle are wood burned on. Couldn't find my tips or even the wood burned so used a butane solderer with normal soldering tip. Thank you Adam.
