[MrWarhammer1972]

Very nice work, gentlemen.

[InnerSilence123]

if you need a hammer o build a a hammer, I wonder how the first hammer was made...

[slab698]

@InnerSilence123 I was thinking the same thing. I guess maybee a copper or bronze hammer. Not sure if they had these, but it would seem logical since bronze was used before iron and steel.

[kange112233]

@slab698 well you take a rock ya see..

[InnerSilence123]

@slab698 hahah dude that was a rhetoric question

[pheenix42]

@InnerSilence123 Easy...the first hammers were made from stone.

[lonrodo]

@pheenix42 or they made cast hammers...but that was in the 1700_1800 im not shore

[TheAnderpov]

I wish you had more than 7 videos. These are super informative and very well made. Kudos!

[Ozjourneyman]

Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. It is great to see a video of actual tool forging for a change. I've a need for a couple of new hammers.

[prokopto]

what diameter is the stock you are using? It looks to be about 2" is that correct?

[blacksmither1]

@prokopto he said about 3 and a quarter

[naabtalschmied]

dont talk and teach so much :-) just forge!!!!

[rucola67]

@naabtalschmied

no,sir! i don´t agree;))althoug U havent any videos made by yourself to help others having fun with smithing,- let the guy teach!! he´s brilliant!

[naabtalschmied]

@rucola67

i didnt said that he does bad work. but if he save his power for forging and not for talking, he could forge a lot more. this is nothing about the work. maybe there can be a lil critics about using the tools. but it is ok.

a lot of youtube forging videos shows miserable work. there are not so much how makes good forging and a good result. i dont have it necessary, to show the working process on youtube. i know my work and a lot of people knows my work and appreciate it!

[draknon2]

looks great can't wait to see more
