rifleshooter2 Posted October 16, 2016 Share Posted October 16, 2016 Here is my first attempt at making a hawk from a ball peen hammer. I made it for a friend and now I have to make one for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc1 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Isn't that a classic. In olden times they bragged of forging weapons into tools. We forge tools into weapons ... haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Well the Bible has *2* places where they forge tools into weapons and only *1* where they forge weapons into tools. I was once talking with my pastor and telling him I was considering calling my smithy the "anti biblical forge" as I was forging a lot of farm scrap into blades at that time. He called me on it and dug out the concordance and showed me the 3 sections, 2 ag to weapon and only 1 weapon to ag. I would love to have some more cites about this in olden times if you have any to hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Gates(Ionic Muffin) Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I have to say, that is a beautiful axe. Further, if you don't have the tools to drift an eye or are not very experienced with forge welding or other advanced techniques then using a hammer seems even more ideal for learning how to make an axe.
