Colorado CJ Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I am new to blacksmithing, its been a little over a week since I fired up my forge for the first time. I have been using a couple of 2 lb. hammers that I picked up at my local farrier supply. While reading different threads in this forum I stumbled upon a photo of a nice looking larger hammer. It was just what I was looking for. I contacted littleblacksmith asking about the hammer, turns out he makes them! Well, I had to order one right then and there and a little over a week later, I have an awesome 3.5 lb rounding hammer in my hands. The quality is outstanding, better than I expected. He even included a little leaf he made with my new hammer as a test piece. I used it today, and man, does it move metal! Its a lot faster than using my 2 lb. hammers and exactly what I wanted. Thank you littleblacksmith for making me this great hammer, I am sure to be buying more from you (cross pein next I think). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedefiddle Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Good Morning, Yes it is a nice Hammer. He does a very good job. After you have sent it to Hammer School, it will help you a lot more. There is a formula for Hammer effort, Speed is squared, not weight. Enjoy the learning process.

ThomasPowers Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Don't send it to school; keep it out and the smithy and beat it against hot metal on a regular basis---they love that! (saying Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha is optional...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's a pic of the leaf? How're we supposed to believe there IS a leaf if we can't see it? We already know Mark makes beautiful hammers. Leaves though . . . Frosty The Lucky.
