Been watching some other instructional forging videos and they are all using "sophisticated" blacksmithing terms, and you're all... "Just hit the crap out of it!" lol :)

Put a magnet (big magnet from a Loudspeaker ) on the anvil. This will stop the "ding ding ding"

It the ball pin hammer a better hammer to use when getting out the bevels?

@zerkrxagent May be; however, he wasn't a blacksmith.

the idea behind forging a blade is to not have to grind the blade into shape. when it leaves the forge it should be as close to final shape as possible. the reason you think it saves time to grind is because you began the process with a piece of stock that was far to oversized and required to much forging. You could have just began with a 1/8" piece of flat stock and saved a LOT of time you didn't even forge the edge of the blade!

@1overthehillsfaraway I use scrap because it's free, and a piece of round steel inherently requires forging to become a flat blade. I take pride in making treasure from trash. if I wanted to spend money on 1/8" flat and stock remove, I'd do that.
It takes me all of 30 seconds to grind/shape the blade profile. 2 minutes to rough grind each bevel. 15 minutes to rough grind before heat treat. it's hardly inefficient compared to tapping on bevels that get ground away.
