- Forging a usable and nice looking hatchet out of a ball peen hammer! Possibly the coolest thing I forged so far if I do say so myself!
Thanks "Bespoke Bloke Designs" for the hammer head:

Shout out to all the other makers and blacksmith that did this! It sure is a lot of effort.

Just a self reminder I must try to punch a hole myself.

Index of operation and materials:
0:20 Coke forge
1:00 I'm not sure how to explain this as I'm no blackmith expert. Instead of time stamps I think it's better if I explain by words here:
I started with a heavy hammer flattening the side of the hammer that will become the blade.
Then I quickly realized the hammer was too heavy and not effective over the large area of the hammer head after the cilinder was flattened.
So switched to a cross peen and little by little I moved material around to reduce the big chunk of metal that was to hammer head into a wedge shaped blade. This took a long time and a lot of work.
Forging took me a day, a good 8 hrs of hammering! (so much fun but also exhausting).
Also, I kept adjusting where the metal moved by working the sides as well as shown here 2:18
For last I forge the spike where the ball side was.
3:10 I left the hatchet to annheal, cooling down very slowly with the forge to make it soft and easy to grind
3:20 Grind profile, spike, and edge on the 2x72 belt grinder
5:00 Quick normalize cycle just before hardening, probably not needed after annhealing but for sure won't hurt
5:50 Checking temperature with a magnet to reach critical (over non magnetic)
5:55 Quench in water to harden
6:10 Tempering with the forge by slowly heating to deep straw color (around 230°C)
I check the hardness that came between 50 and 55 on the Rockwell scale
6:42 Remove scales with wire wheel on bench grinder
7:07 Buff edge and spike to mirror finish with fine polishing compound and cotton wheel on the bench grinder (I did some hand sanding off camera)
I hope the handle part is self explanatory, if not say something in comments and I'll write more!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!

Those types of attacks happen to UK firefighters and other emergency services too. Just the way the world is going.
If you're on the edge, go for Patreon, the voice overs are really good and very consistent! They give great insights into Gaders process and what didn't work... 👌🏼👍🏼
Black Beard Projects if someone were to send you a knife would you do a custom restoration ?
Hey mate that handle is backwards the palm swell is supposed to go on the front

Great work. Now really impress everyone and turn it back into a Ball Peen Hammer! :-)
Stolen
Ha! Good one
That would be... upsetting.
@@jasontodd4801 ahhh I see what you did there.
It's steel bro, not modeling clay 😂
My 5 year old and I watch these types of videos regularly, and I don't think I've seen one done with only hand tools. Love it! Very cool looking piece.
Great work, awesome to see someone not just take a angle grinder and destroy the metal. Nice to see so much of the work done by hand too! Looks great
i never get tired watching this kind of videos.
Prior to seeing this vid, the ball peen to tomahawk was my 1st real blackmith project. I'm glad I made mine like yours (processs and shape) its a great 1st project and very forgiving for a noob
Not only he created the awesome hatchet, but genuinely explained how he got the hammer and its not his original idea, such humility. I wouldnt know, i dont watch many such channels. There is no limit to this guys knowledge and creativity. From Forging to casting, leather works to wood works, painting to polishing, hammering to soldering, welding to woodturning to etc etc... i dont even know the number of terms he is expert in. Hats off!
Beautiful piece, love the tail spike.
I have a strong admiration for a humble man and the fireman also, I scribed. I like to keep up with who made the hammers that usually gets lost but you can also trace back the steel.Thx
A very beautiful hatchet. I'm very inspired to build a forge at my home and start smithing.
I used to buy old tool heads from my buddy who owned a scrap yard for 10 cents a pound. I've made 12 or 15 ball-peens into hatchets just like you! Good work!
A nice project! Inventive use for an old hammer head.
That's bad ass. Best ball pin conversion so far. Great job
By far one of my favorites
That's so cool that you use stuff that you repair or done to repair or make stuff.
So satisfying to watch!
Great craftsmanship Sirji
Right on good job ! Love seeing it done old school with raw muscle and 🔥 !!
Congratulations on a great job.
Thanks for the video.
The balance here between rough and fine finishing is fantastic! Just beautiful!
i'm going to give this a go myself. i still have some old hammerheads laying around. thank you for the inspiration.
