Blacksmithing - Forging Swedish Style Hammers

  • I make two forging hammers based on the traditional Swedish pattern. The common cross peen and a matching straight peen hammer. For these I use the drift I made earlier to create eyes that match the factory made handles that I have access to.

    As someone who does not do blacksmithing, I'm continually fascinated by how different it is from other forms of crafting. The way he imagines shape and plans his steps in advance is so much different from, say, woodworking or industrial metalworking. There's always at least one point in each of his videos where I say to myself "I don't see where this is going," and that makes it even more delightful and satisfying to see the final product take shape.

    You have to appreciate a man that pounds the living crap out of red hot steel, then he takes a break outdoors to admire the spring flowers, and then he goes back into his shop and pounds the living crap out of red hot steel :)

      I knew a blacksmith, the size of a small mountain, who had absolutely no idea how strong he was, so he would constantly "gently close the faucet" so hard his wife couldn't open it if her life depended on it. After some back and forth about the problem he bought a small pipe wrench for each faucet and placed under the corresponding zink, and told his wife that if she made a mark on the faucet that was on him, not her, because he knew that sooner or later he would be in a hurry, forget all about it, and leave her alone at the house "with no water". I always though that was such an adorably sweet solution.

    I no longer blacksmith for a living; cannot even do as a hobby thanks to a wrist surgery. But when I was full time at it all day everyday, hammers were what kept the doors open. Hammers were most favourite thing to forge and always my best product. It never gets old watching a blank piece of steel become a piece of art on a handle. I’m glad I can still get my forging fix vicariously through videos

    The pilot tip matching up with the center-punched hole is very smart planning and execution. I love your attention to detail--like your perfectly height matched front shelf for loading the hammer in and out of the new forge. And the finished product makes me want to hit red iron quite a lot...beautiful. Thanks
