There are eight basic hammer strikes in blacksmithing and each has a different affect on the metal. In this video I show you these eight strikes with hammer and anvil. Lots more blacksmithing on my website: http://www.stormthecastle.com/blacksmithing/index.htm

  • @epicfantasy How much did your anvil cost?

  • @300spartanswin Send 'em a PM and see what they say. Y'may get lucky. Myself, I'd say it'd be great fun once the hours of worry and cussing paid off with a successufl final quench that didn't result in a shattered blade.

  • @Snado Hmmm.Well,it's a bit of a challenge but I just want to see if someone can do it.Should be interesting and challenging at the same time.

  • @janvoslos Then stop hitting too hard.

    Or else try lay it down and hit it, just don't make it wide again..

  • @300spartanswin That is alot of work to be done without a Power hammer these days, It could take eight hours, possibly more just to form it based on what metal he uses.

  • @epicfantasy could you forge Aragorn's sword from Lord of the rings.The sword he gets from Elrond.
