Forging A Straight Peen Blacksmith Hammer For Bladesmithing, Knifemaking, Old World, Step By Step

Today I'm forging a less common hammer design: the straight peen. This design has many applications, and allows the blacksmith to aggressively draw out stock.

Come guys whoever disliked this video please do yourself a favor and shut up. If you dont like the way he did the forging then you can go watch some one that does your way, he doesn't have to go through the time and effort to edit and upload these videos he does because he want to try and show us what he does and maybe if you watched closely then you would learn something. This is all directed towards the one dislike and your videos are great even if it's not the way I do it, keep it up man.

I’ve been waiting on a 2.5lb rounding hammer to come up cause I’m definitely gonna snatch it up as soon as you post it. I already cleared it with the boss lady.

[@FireCreekForge]

Good deal! I'll open another pre order in a while

[@the55reaper]

Preventive security measures are for newbies. Improbable improvised bandaids are for pros. Nice hammer 😍

[@FireCreekForge]

Haha, thanks

[@wolfparty4234]

Maaaan!!!! Now you know I’m gonna need one of them!!!

[@stephenjohnson6841]

Awesome hammer. Thanks for sharing some of your knowledge/expertise!

[@outbackladas]

Nice hammer, looks good 👍. Missed the commentary, always enjoy what you have to say about the process. Regards from Down Under.

[@melgillham462]

You da man's man, duct tape bandaids!🤣 sweet hammer sir. ( mine are usually electrical tape and tshirt tails)🤝👍 TGIF brother! I like how you corrected the offset. Kiss blocks work amazingly.

[@davidscadlock5569]

Great demo. What a beast!!!

[@mikemeinders6717]

I love the hammer and yer bandaids . I had to buy 2 cases of bandaids for my shop and I have 2 first aid kits for the shop too. Not that I am accident pron but hey crap happens. Nice work..

[@Tom-hz9oc]

Beautiful work!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@bradleyholcombe6114]

I know the process of putting on a new handle is mind numbingly agonizingly slow when done. But seeing it on camera makes me want to beat my head against the wall to make it go faster. I've been screaming at my phone every now and again to make it go faster.

[@richardbryant7972]

Very nice looking hammer, thanks for share and god bless

[@FireCreekForge]

Thank you!

[@muellermade]

Awesome work, beautiful too man!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man!

[@lukelofgren4108]

Awesome work! I would LOVE to be the owner and operator of that beautiful beast!

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks man!

[@kevind7617]

The foot pedal on the press is a nice modification..
I've been wondering for years why people dont do it that way

[@miteeoak]

We use the same Duct-Tape brand bandages.

[@FireCreekForge]

Totally

[@mikemeinders6717]

Hey buddy have you ever thought of making a Ribbon Burner for your forge ?? I was going through so much Propane it was outrageous so I made my first one and what a difference big savings in propane ... I run my 2 forges at 3 to 4 PSI compared to the 15 to 20 PSI .. you really should check them out..

[@FireCreekForge]

Yeah, I should do that

[@user-iy8dm4sr1i]

👏👏👏👏

[@doughenning4899]

Please sir What is the diameter of the ram and the hydraulic pressure you use in the press? Good show. Cheers 👍👍

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks! 5" cylinder, 2500 psi

[@bradleyholcombe6114]

I also have seen it called a lateral peen.

[@RRINTHESHOP]

Very nice hammer, what was the weight of this one? I like the short handle.

[@FireCreekForge]

Thanks! This one has a 4.5lb head

[@natedawg9404]

Sweet. Is this going to be an option for hammers in the future? You going to make a diagonal one?

[@FireCreekForge]

Possibly!

[@brandonjester9942]

You making more ? Is it pre-order time

[@FireCreekForge]

This was a one-off I made with a batch of pre orders, I'll open up for another pre order in several weeks probably

[@chili5369]

Hey brother I just started to use my press(20ton, 27gal compressor) and I'm still having issues. What is your setup look like?

[@FireCreekForge]

Here I explain some things, may help: czcams.com/video/sujJoG5pVj4/video.html

[@ethanveillion1184]

Nice work! Could you make me one?

[@nicholaseedy3244]

You can buy this one.

[@billwoehl3051]

The duct tape on the fingers: prevention or repairs?

[@astormofwrenches5555]

We all know its repairs.

[@nicholaseedy3244]

Red Green approves of this band aid.

[@FireCreekForge]

@AStorm OfWrenches Haha yes, Monday started with a sliced thumb, and burns on the left forefinger following the batch of hammers...

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I noticed that you had Duct tape on your R thumb & L index finger. I’m sure that you have a good reason. Now I’m curious ???

[@FireCreekForge]

Blood, sweat and tears..!

[@hannable3871]

I am stuck on duck tape brand cause duck tape stuck on me.

[@astormofwrenches5555]

Nice. Is your bologna's first name "Reynolds"?

[@lancemillward2462]

just got one of these not as meaty as yours though

[@jeremyadams8035]

Did you burn your beard off?

[@astormofwrenches5555]

Shaved it off with a greatsword he made out of old pop tabs. It was epic.

[@FireCreekForge]

Lol
