Jason Fry Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Started from a ball peen about 16 oz, USA stamped. Forgot that my phone was plugged in, but I got a few pics later in the process. Here it is after some of the Blade was beginning to be forged out, right before I started drifting the eye. A bit more forging... Forged to shape all but the spike end. Time for a little profile cleanup on the grinder. Drifted the eye out larger to fit a regular hammer handle. Got it close to finished. After this I normalized in the oven and then did a bit of finish grinding. May heat treat tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavpilot2k Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Nice work! I've got few old ball peen heads of various sizes destined for similar projects once I get my hatchet technique refined on some railspike hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
