Forging My First Hammer With Paul Pinto

Показать описание

In this video I forge my first hammer from a piece of 1045 bar stock with the help of Paul Pinto. This was my first blacksmithing project and it really got me excited about doing more projects with the forge!

Thank you to Jimmy Diresta for having us up for the weekend and letting us use his amazing shop and tools. Be sure to check the links below to all my other friends who were up there kicking around the forge and helping me through the process.

Pretty cool (or hot as the case may be). I have a lot of respect for blacksmiths, shaping steel with fire and all. I'm sure glad we now have the ability to just go down to the hardware store and buy something that's already made.

Well done. Work with what you got that’s my motto. Until you get discussed and you call a buddy who have everything. I have one of those too.

Shadeskast

Very Cool, great to see you work with Paul...awesome dude!

VintageWoodWorkshop

Loved going through the process, thanks.

Great hanging out last weekend. Pretty ambitious project while the rest of us were making leaves. 🤣.

Ended up looking great! Next time try using a bigger hammer and anvil, you need a ton of force to move that thick of steel. Generally I do hammer heads with a 10 pound sledge and have someone hold the work for you, the drift will go in like butter if you have a big enough hammer and a solidly mounted swage block.

Good Stuff, I too choke up on the hammer but leave the handle long because it seems to feel more balanced in the hand.

Interesting video and filmed very well.

billygarfield

Wow, punching a drifting that hole takes a minute!

MakeBrooklyn

Yes... you should be proud for making your own tool

martinv

Nice. Ive got some truck axles ive been thinking about using to make some hammers.

mcarroll

Hell of a job bro, I agree on the handle shape. Could you not have used a small drift and the press to put the hole in the head?

danielmancini

Loved it. I’m now more inspired than ever. Have you ever heard about the hay quenching technique?

facemire

Now that I've seen it I believe every press needs googly eyes.

ryano

I could make a hammer, too, if I had all those... haaammers. Damn, looks like hot steel is still pretty damn hard, always looks easy in fast motion. Serious question, when you were first trying to drive the drift through you flipped it every strike: would it start going sideways or something if you did like 5 hits, flip, 5 hits, etc?

jeremyspecce

You and Paul sort of sound alike, only your voices are different pitches.

dennisobrien

I'm gona hazard a guess and say.. that you know that things take twice as long if you are drinking lol

iteerrex

How many men does it take to make a hammer! ;)

redflag

Nice job, where did you get the material to make the hammer?
