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.

    Those are some wonderul looking hammers and the new forge looks like a great addition to the shop.

    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 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
  • How I love observing the work of a man whose FORGINGS come out with a finer finish than many 'finished' works!
  • @DennisBishop
    That "Swedish coffee" by your hammer mill looks strong and delicious!!!
  • @config2000
    On creating traditional Swedish style hammers you nailed it.
  • Wow! Those turned out really nice, glad to see you left the hammer marks in them, but cleaned up the working faces. Thank you for taking time to build, film, edit and post this video.

    "King of Småland," indeed!! 🙂The new forge will serve you well and will be much better for your health! Does it run on propane?I love the heartbeat of that big power hammer! I remember you making the foundation for it. The snowdrops and wild orchids are lovely! Your new hammers are gorgeous! Thanks for another great video.
  • @MrMeat-pv3ni
    Great work. Im just 2 years into Blacksmithing. Your videos have been a great help. Thanks for all the priceless information
  • A Hammer for every occasion and shape. 😍 Beautiful crafting.
  • @pjamestx
    Absolutely gorgeous! And it was so satisfying to see you starting the eye with a punch that had an indexing nub on it, what a great idea!
  • 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

    That design of hammer would appear for a particular purpose. I truly enjoy watching a master craftsman.
