Very nice Job. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Keep forge lit. Keep Making. God Bless.
A monkey tool is used for squaring the shoulders on a tenon, isn't it? Which part of it is traditionally drifted? The ones I've seen before are essentially round bar with a hole partially drilled lengthwise.
It's 13mm 4142 I've never felt the need more than the 1000g hammer I'm using to move medium carbonsteel that size. 1000g let's me swing quickly and accurately. I can swing longer and move more steel with that weight than a 3-5kg hammer. When I do move up to bigger steel that needs a heavier hammer, I normally get someone to strike for me with a sledgehammer.
..doing good Phillip! That 41- series doesn't like to move too much under a hand hammer...
Thanks! You can definitely tell that it's harder to move than mild. I'm looking forward to that power hammer being finished too make things easier.

why the hell are you using this toy hammer? 1,5 kg would be the minimum weight for this job
