Something lighter moves easier than something heavy. Same principle as a slide hammer. That’s the reason hitting the back of the handle drives the head up. The heads actually staying motionless while the handle is moving faster

Had to chuckle when you called this a budget build. None of what you have is something I have other than an anvil.

Thank you! I use that hammer all the time. Hopefully it can help someone make their own/modify a hammer to fit their needs!

I totally agree. I've got a few that I still use all the time! Great for using on drifts when I don't want to mar the face of my main forging hammers.

I have watched people make forging hammers from cheap hammers, more times than I could count. This has been my fav one. I long for a straight peen. 😂

The hammer\handle trick is down to inertia. The head has lots the handle has little. The handle moves a lot when hit, the head stays "still" in space. See mum I did learn something at school!

Honestly it's still going strong! I used it forging an integral chef last week lol. I never re-handled it like I thought I would. I like that I can make precise strikes with it, especially when I'm refining the choil area.

So how had this held up? I’m really thinking about doing this!

It's actually held up great! I still use it frequently. The only thing I plan on doing is re-handling it to a slightly longer handle, but beyond that it's been a great little hammer!

Great forging and heat treatment. What is the metal wedge for?
@FlatlineKnives
2 жыл бұрын
Thank you George! I used the metal wedge to secure the handle since it's a second hand handle. Usually I don't use metal wedges when I'm hanging my hammer handles though.
