The tradeskills are underrated and underappreciated.
Back in high school I signed up for a metal shop class, but it was canceled
because there weren't enough students interested.
Public education is pathetic.

The video was originally posted to show the hammer that we were selling. I was making a decorative leaf. We include such forgings in railings, furniture and such.

Thanks for posting this. You really ought to build a guard for the front of the hammer though. If the spring ever popped out it would remove a good portion of your head.

Well.....I have had three springs go while forging (different hammers). It is not the exciting explosive catastrophe that one envisions. It's more like it just stops working and makes thumpy noises. I have seen an OSHA approved hammer. They seem to outfit a hammer in the same way they label coffee. "Contents are hot"....duh.

So...I just watched this video and I have to say....I freakin love blacksmithing. I love the fact that steel moves so nicely and beautifully. What is cooler than smithing? OK maybe glassblowing but hey I can drop mine :)
