Benona blacksmith Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 My latest hammer "design". Losely based on a swedish cross peen and a hammer that I see John Switzer at black bear forge use. I still need to wedge the handle and shape it to my liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benona blacksmith Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Made my fist leaf (looks like xxxx). I'm really liking this hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HojPoj Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Looks like a Hofi face with a fat swedish peen. What is the balance like on that thing? Looks like it'd feel more like a dog's head hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benona blacksmith Posted June 16, 2020 Author Share Posted June 16, 2020 The balance is good. There is almost equal amount of material in the peen as there is in the face. I really like the peen side. It's not so aggressive and is easy to get the hammer marks out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swedefiddle Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Good Morning Benona, It is a great start. To finish it, you should get rid of all the sharp edges that will put 'cold shuts' in your workpiece. To start, you have to start a project. To finish the project, you have to finish it.
