Forging a Hammer with Joey Van der Steeg

Joey Van der Steeg was in the shop and I struck for him on a hammer he made for a customer! I had a blast working with him!

Couldnt be more excited guys! Thanks so much!

[@firebird8600]

Friis Forge strange. I actually found and subscribed to your channel after finding Alec, and am just watching some of his older videos now. I'll have to look for your unboxing video now, as I haven't seen it yet.

[@caveofskarzs1544]

[@arronburford7787]

two astoundingly talented smiths. very jealous of the talent on show here.

[@MarkAspery]

A nice video. Well done.

[@gabriellimba9628]

Dos grandes.

[@oljames1687]

I truly enjoy watching you strike. It almost shakes my monitor when you do...

[@phantomwraith7289]

well done mate

[@lindseyjeremylawson8509]

i have learned a lot from your videos .

[@chrissoto7187]

Can you do videos on using railroad track anvils or sledgehammer anvils a lot of us don't have traditional Anvils so it's hard to apply The techniques you have been showing while also making other techniques could be otherwise impossible an option

[@thecrookedanvil]

excellence

[@joshuadelisle]

Hey Alec, can you do a design and make vid or shall we do a colab on a sculpture together?

[@youssfnabati6538]

Beau traveill 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TheIlliniviking]

Hey Alec, do you have any tips on forging a cutoff hardy (or any larger diameter stock) without a striker?

[@jaceschlatter9036]

i want it sooo bad!

[@stephenmorton5579]

what do you dip the punch in?

[@Bow_Toe]

How did you start your business

[@robertbergmueller5803]

Alec, Please accept this as a constructive comment. I hope you young guys are wearing earplugs when you are forging. Ask me how I know? Those little sponge rubber ear plugs are cheap and allow you freedom of movement. Kindest Regards, Rob

[@theallroundcraftsman8959]

Why always use the round tool on the senterpart of the hammerhead? instead of keeping it flat?? Great videos and great attitude! :D

[@sethjones5078]

TheAllroundCraftsman it's a rounding hammer because it spreads material better and easier than a flat side or face that's why there is both on it

[@bestofdragoncon]

Is that hammer going up on the online store?

[@Friidom2]

+DragonCon's Best That hammer is mine :)

[@allenvdj6726]

what song is?

[@dubstkfd5663]

I'm searching for that song too... It's some kind of irish jig, or celtic jig... Similar song is f.e. The Great Whiskey Rebelion - Swallowtail jig.
