Forging some damascus hammers

#tyrellknifeworks

With the help from my fellow smith, Rick Hall, in this build we'll be forging some damascus hammers.

Both the hammers looks fabulous. One thing that I love about your videos is the part where you share the misses / errors in your build & how you go ahead to rectify / improve upon them.❤

P.S.: waiting for your next sword build😊

Wow as a mechanic I would love to own a demascus tool like that made from you good job!!!👍🏻

[MrMudtit]

Both hammers look amazing. Well done.

Always love to see purple heart go I to a project 💜

To hammers,
As a first go thats really quite excellent, and I like that as always you look at things objectively
I'll be interested to see how it goes in use, most of my hammers are very personal and not only do I not like people using them I often get comments like "How do you even use that" well I made it for myself so it fits exactly the job and usually the hand I made it for (I'm ambidextrous)
To axes I didnt realise U.S axes are only drifted from one direction, Ive always done both ways and shaped the handle fitting to an hourglass like you do with a hammer
Thanks for sharing Denis ...inspiring stuff

Looks like a great learning process. Looking forward to seeing you make more hammers! Thanks again Dennis!

[bobgore]

For your very first hammer, I think it turned out great! I would definitely be grateful, to make one for myself, that was half as nice! Thanks for sharing my brother! 😎👍🏻🔨🔥⚒️

Turned out very nice. Been wanting to make one but need to get some drifts made. Love the purple heart.

[danwerkman]

Always find it amusing how plumbers always have leaking pipes, mechanics always drive dodgy cars, doctors always have sick kids and now makers have Damascus tools with blotches on them lol. I really would not fret to much. My first hammer did not make it all the way to the end. Cool video . Cheers

Such amazing work. Both hammers looks cool 😃😃

[justin.c.taylor]

Whoa whoa whoa, where did the third pair of hands come during the drifting section?!? 😂

[brysonalden]

Did you make the punch for your press just for this project? Nice work, as always. I'm in the middle of forging a sort of chisel hammer, but not from damascus!

[bjornronaldson]

Nice build Denis! I really like the pattern and the use of the purple heart. Definitely a departure from the bog standard hammer builds you usually see. Very cool!

[erikcourtney]

That’s one thing I haven’t made yet. I’ve made hammers and I’ve made Damascus. But haven’t put them together yet. One thing that helped me with making hammers was making a drift for the press. Takes a while doing it alone and a lot of heats. Then fine tuning with the hand drift and fullers.

[malcontent]

Damascus hammer, that's different. This should be interesting to see!

[MrBrokenwrenches]

Beautiful hammers! Have you made a video on aerating ferric and I've missed it? Looks like an interesting idea. Thanks for the video!

[addictchris]

Looks great :) What was your final hardness after tempering? I imagine not quite as hard as a knife ;)

[aquareus]

7:52 Out of curiosity, why do you drift from both sides for a hammer, but only one side for an axe?

[jorgosvanpaketticar]

Before putting that wax I would have heated the wood 40°C (little bit warmer than body temperature) so that the wood kinda opens the tiny "holes" and the wax could go much deeper in the wood. Good job!
