"If you want something a bit more spicy......" I recommend C4!! 😁 I love watching you make a hammer, there's just something about how effortless your working style is. It probably comes from the thousands of hammers the have come before. I'm also wondering if working with students helps (and I don't mean getting them to do it for you) as you're constantly in a possition where you have to teach new people the skills they need. This has the bonus of constantly looking at your work an evaluating how it went and if there's any way to make it better or easier. I think it's a great way to really hone a skill set to perfection 👍❤👍
Thank you, still got a ways to go but I'm getting there I think. Yes having will and keen students keeps me on my toes and also I learn off them. Some of the best practice I've ever had.
Nice work.
A couple of tips I'd like to see is how to use a striker without having one and how to use a power hammer without having one.
I recently made a hammer completely by hand check that out no sticker and no power hammer should make your your day.
@@danielmoss2089 Could you possibly show me ho to get an idea to successfully travel from my mind to my hand? Lots of ideas but something happens on the trip down my arm and by the time it reaches the end it doesn't even resemble what I had in mind.
Great video Dan! Really enjoy every one! As always thank you and God Bless you sir!
How fitting. I just forged a crosspeen and am heat treating and hafting today. Coincidently, it's from a billet I purchased through you. I was going to tag you on IG when it is finished.
Always awesome to see you work. Thank you
These are beautiful hammers, Daniel! Well done!
Nice Dan, really enjoyed that. Well done.
Really enjoyed that! Have shared with all the things!
Great video sir! Very cool to see things more advanced than the class. Giving a "step up". 👍😀⚒️
I'm in. Picked up the Universal Tongs from your website. Thanks for all the great videos sharing all the amazing forging experience.
This is a great idea!! Love this🤘
Good stuff! Clean forging and educational. :)
It is always cool to see smiths working with strikers, keep up the great work man :)
I enjoyed this video. You make it look easy. That cross pein design looks great
Thank you. Lots of practice but still a long way to gom
Good stuff Dan. Punching with a round punch helps a lot.
Excellent
As ever Dan you make it look effortlessly 👍👍
Thank you Tony if it looks that way I would like to let you know it's not and I find this very hard.
That sound rude but it wasn't ment to I still have lost to learn.
Very nice!!!
Nice job, makes me want to fire up the forge and go to work.
Great video sir, keep up the good work
Awesome!!!!!!
Very good video mr. Moss.👍👍👍✌
Very informative Well done Clap
Sweet hammers!

I quench my S7 dies hott all the time? & tongs Just not glowing
Very nice Dan, would love to own one of your hammers!
Probably going to make my first Hammer this summer, so this will be helpful
Take your time, keep it hot so it stays soft, use lubricant like Dan, anti-sieze or the Coal Ironworks punch lube. If the drift gets stuck, beat the cheeks of the head really hard and the eye will stretch and release the tool. I suggest trying mild steel first. You can use the soft mild steel head for chisel and punch striking. Good luck!
Good work; this is useful info. We posted this video on our homemade tools forum this week :)
Long time no see, the hammers look great as always
I'm fortunate to have a 5 foot long by 2 1/2" 4140 axle that cost me free.99.
Nice
Do you aneal the 4140 before cutting it I'm having a real hard time trying to cut some forklift tines with an angle grinder
Hi Dan, I don't know if you are familiar with the Barr Run Forge channel on YT. Go to my channel and check out the series Making Eli's hammer parts 1 thru 4 and you will probably shake your head in disbelief of the way as a group we helped Eli Roush make a rounding hammer, especially when we discovered the hammer wouldn't fit either guillotine fuller! Sorry for the video quality I haven't posted in awhile and my skills are a bit rusty.
Ill take a look thank for the comment Frank.
Oh man i miss your video
Using lump charcoal and noticed that any heavy material sinks as the fire burns up the charcoal, have to add a handle to keep it in the sweet spot. Does regular coal have the same problem?
I guess it does but much slower so you don't really notice it. I believe a hard wood charcoal burns slower and might be a better option. If your not already using it.
@@danielmoss2089 I use whatever I can get ahold of, a mod of hardwood store bought and pine I make myself in my homemade retort.
@@billwoehl3051 I believe willow or Ash make the best types of charcoal for blacksmith. It's what was traditional used. Well so I was told by a man that makes charcoal. Soft woods burn to fast and make it need lots of fuel. I've used charcoal and coal mix on the past and that works well.
@@danielmoss2089 I agree, my own charcoal (pine, lumber scraps) is much lighter, and burns extremely fast compared to the store bought hardwood charcoal.
@@danielmoss2089 Interesting. I just made my first batch of lump charcoal from peppermint gum and Manna gum, two Aussie hardwoods that grow in my bush. Keen to fire up the forge tomorrow and see how it goes and yes, a hammer is the first item on the list. Thanks for the vid.
Hi Dan
(Cracked hammer ) I hardened my hammer made from forktruck tine
Quenched in oil all went fine. But I had to go out and didn’t temper until the next day
Then oops came out with two cracks across the face.
Could this of happened because it wasn’t tempered soon enough?
Or just bad luck. ?
I would say it hadn't been normalised correctly and these ment you locked stress into the hammer on heat treating. One you allowed the steel to relax with the temper it cracked. I've had that happen before.
Did you arrest or freeze temper? And in water or oil?
Anyone know what steel truck axles are made from?
So, at 4:50 is that your coke on the floor around the forge, is is it clinker?
It's coke. It fall out of the Forge. I clear it up from time to time and uses it like second coke. If you get me m
@@danielmoss2089 Might as well.
I've always thought that making things spicy is the best way
Suger and spice right!
Is what you use as coal?
What scrap metal is a good contrasting against leaf spring for a good demascus billet? Not the name of the metals, (like the leaf spring being 5160), I need the part names, like ball bearing race, or lawnmower blade, or axle shaft, etc.
No idea Bill not my thing. Wrought would work nice. Try find something with nickle in. 15n20.
@@danielmoss2089 sounds like ball bearings and races🤔
@@danielmoss2089 you saying demascus isn't your thing? Or using scraps for demascus isn't? I like the patterns and the ability to mix traits of different metals, thinking of going with only demascus projects myself. And at the moment I don't have any wrought laying around, no idea where to find it either.
@@billwoehl3051 basically 15N20 is saw blades high nickel. Some ball bearings yes cuz there's all different types. But usually the high nickel is the most popular for the bright part of the etch and then the dark is the carbon which would be your leaf spring. But the experimentation is fun
@@billwoehl3051 I don't really like Damascus. I can do it if needs must but I don't go out of my way. If you like it's that cool and best of luck but I'm no expert.
Whats oil is?
Is my code for free stuff still #Nemo'sForge? 😜🤣🤣 Packed allot in that video. 🤟 Nice job dude!!
I really love the Stanley like cross peen hammer, it reminds me a bit of those french cross peens :D
I wonder, the hammer you're using during forging: is that your Big Boi "pattern" or has he another name?
It is my big boi style hammer. The cross peen is also in that style as well.
@@danielmoss2089 Thank you for your answer Dan! Hope I'll be able to save some money to buy a Big Boi from you, it's one of my dream hammers🤩 such a great design!!
@@andizell2255 the next hammer we are giving way in the next video.
@@danielmoss2089 I will be watching it for sure😊
