- In this video, I use a 1&1/2" diameter x 3&1/2" long piece of 1045 steel to demonstrate slitting, punching and drifting a hammer eye and will give away (completely free of charge) the resulting completed hammer in my next video. In order to enter, please watch the video, like and share (if possible), then make a comment. Everyone who comments will have their name entered in the drawing. I will show the completed hammer and do the lucky draw in about six days. One entry per user name unless I state otherwise. I will then ship (standard airmail) the hammer free of charge in two business days after receiving the winner's address. Good luck.

In your video you said "anyone who tells you forming the eye of a hammer is easy, is lying". I think the thing that impresses me the most about your videos is how easy you make it look, for even the hardest jobs. As a beginner hobbyist blacksmith I can understand and appreciate how difficult these things are. The amount of intricacy of every step in the process which you cant put into words without your videos being an hour long. Thanks again for another great video.
Glen your videos are way above average. Your laid back style transmits into easy to follow and learn step by step. As always, a pleasure to watch you work.
I've always learned a skill set by watching and mimicking a master tradesman. You make it look easy and are one of those teachers. Nothing is rushed and all actions seem very precise. Thanks for helping improve my tool making skills.
i love how thorough you are with your descriptions even with your preferences
Nice work Glen. I've been watching your videos for quite a few months, but never find myself commenting very much. I'm learning how to forge by watching UA-cam videos, and I appreciate the time you take explaining things, and that you don't have super fast videos I can't follow along with. Keep it up!
I would be proud to swing that hammer. Thank you for all you do for us aspiring blacksmiths. Keep up the good work.
Thanks again Glen. your videos are just great.
I also love your "new" Record vice.. made in England. ..they stopped manufacturing at some point.
I bought three of them 30 years ago..."small" for my kitchen counter ☺, the same large size you have, in the shop, (but I haven't changed out the jaws.
and a huge under counter, quick release ...my brother has.
another great hammer ..
.made by Glen S! who of us would not want that!
Glen ....I've been watching you videos for about a month now ...Love the work you do and your attention to detail....only been forging about 7 months ...I hope to attain the skill level you have some day! Thanks !
Another unique , practical and educational experience. Glen keep it going.
Great video as usual Glen. Not to be a broken record but the top tool continues to amaze me. Used it last weekend to drift the pin holes on a few cleavers i'm making. Like butter. Fantastic tool. Anyone reading this, do yourself a favor and purchase a few of the top tools. You wont be disappointed.
i love your demos. You explain the processes very clearly.
Keep up the entertaining work we appreciate you sharing your expertise there's an old saying in the multitude of counselors there is much wisdom thank you again
Glen,
Another great video. I always try to ask a good technical question when I comment on your (and other black smith's) videos but you covered so much of the technical stuff in this one that I am at a loss. Very informative man. Thanks again Glen.
I really enjoy watching you forge. Thank you for doing these videos.
And once again, enjoying the heck out of your videos. I am learning from each video you post. THANK YOU!
Scott, I'm very pleased to know you can learn something from watching. I really wish I had more time to devote to these videos. Nice comments like yours make taking the time to do these worthwhile. Thanks.
Always enjoy watching your videos. Nice to see blacksmithing with little or no power tools. All by hand. Great job!
Clean and tidy as usual. Thank's for the effort.
Cheers from New Zealand
Beautiful, I love how clean your forgings are.
I absolutely love your style. forging and the result. Beautiful work
another great video. simple, good explanations, clear, calm. and good angle of view for the camera. wow!!! have a nice day. Marco
Thanks for all your instructional videos, Glen. I'm too much of a novice to do any of it, but they're an inspiration and always fascinating just to watch.
Glen, Like the Hammer. I enjoy your videos; they have opened my eyes to the NON-Western approach to blacksmithing. Take Care.
I just found your videos about a week ago and really enjoy your detailed explanations, it really helps Me think about what to forge next. (especially when it comes to tools)
Thanks for these videos, Glen. Really enjoy them.
Really enjoy the way you show how you do things. Very informative.
Nice hammer!! The way you explain each step is very easy to understand. Good on.
Great video as usual. Keep up the great work, it's a pleasure watching you work.
Always educational! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful work, Glen. I'm still using the 3 sets of tongs you forged for me 4-5 years ago.
Awesome Video, I definitely like the way that you take care to explain each process as you work through any given project. Love the hammer!
Very nice looking hammer. And all your other work for that matter. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world.
Great video - enjoy watching and learning from you!
absolutely enjoy watching you work. and you explain everything you wish makes it so much easier to understand why certain things happen and how to fix it. keep up the good work
Ollie, I'm glad you enjoy my videos. For most videos, I think I will keep explaining as I go along rather than just show the process. Thanks for watching and for your supportive comment. Glen
great video, I enjoy the tips and techniques you show
I enjoy the quality of your videos and the products you put out.
I like your videos for sure. Very helpful and informative. I need things over explained while I'm learning. Thanks bud, keep up the good work! Looking forward to winning that hammer!
Really enjoy your vids. You explain things very well, and I am learning a lot.
Thank you..
Glen, thanks for all you have taught me from your videos. keep sharin.
This is the first time I've seen any of your work. It is a pleasure to watch someone work who loves what they do. Great Job.
Very nice! Thanks for another great video.
Great job as always! Very educational.
Thanks for the information. Love the work that you do.
It may be my imagination but you seem to accomplish your projects with amazing speed. I watch quite a few Blacksmith videos and perhaps this is due to your minimalistic approach to your process.
Glen, I have been watching your videos from the beginning and enjoy them very much. I am just getting into blacksmithing and often come back to you videos for techniques. Keep posting, you are doing a great job! Would love to use this hammer for my smithing.
Another excellent video Glen. Well done.
Another great video!! Love the tools that you make, my favorite tongs are the ones I got from you, thanks glen
Hey, love to videos really clear instructions and easy to understand I'm a beginner blacksmith and I like to learn.
Another great vid. I think it's the unusual shape anvils that make it compelling viewing, along with your commentary of course (and free hammers!). Steve
Love the hammer. Learned a lot on hand forging a hammer eye. Thanks. Hope After I get better I can gete back to a point where I am able to forge a hammer just like this.
nice one, like all your tools! you say that you're not a very good blacksmith but i think you are one of the best i've seen on youtube ... and i'm not saying this to impress ... goodluck man!
Well done, simple but effective!
Great looking hammer. I do enjoy your videos.
I'm just learning about blacksmithing and I find ur videos very helpful and educational.
I'm glad you can get something from watching. Thanks and good luck in your blacksmithing.
Great as always Glen! Keep it going..
GREAT WORK THANKS FOR ALL THE MOTIVATION!
I'll be getting my new shop area set up at the new house soon. I've been looking at designs for a new anvil stand and I like the laminated wood...similar to what your vise stand is like. I LOVE the hammer...hopefully one of these days I can get one. I'm currently using a 3# cross peen and a 2# ball peen. I've got a 1000 gram German style cross peen, but I'm not very comfortable with it yet. I really admire the Japanese bladesmith style hammer. It looks like it would be very comfortable to use and easy to maintain hammer control. Thanks for another great video and congrats on the Record vise!
Great hammer, love your videos! Super useful to a beginner.
Great video man, I am currently using some hammers I got from home depot, then put on the belt grinder for forever lol.
Cant wait to start making my own hammers. Thanks for the upload!
I like the way you work thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Glen for all your great videos! Nice hammer!
looks like a nice little hammer Glen! Nice job
Always enjoy your videos. Appreciate the giveaway opportunities also.

Always look forward to a new video from you. Keep it up!
I appreciate your commentary, keep up the good work.
Hey Glen, you do great work. I'm going to follow up about some top tools as soon as my budget allows. I also think your anvil is a great idea. Keep it up!
Nicely done!!!. Thank you.
very nice hammer Glen! thx for showing what you know.
Another good video Glen. I always learn something so thanks for making your videos so interesting.
Great work as usual Glen...keep it up!
Glen, you sure did a beautiful job on this hammer. Hope to get to use it. Have a great day.
Glen, nice work. I have been blacksmithing for about 4 years now and haven't made a hammer yet. I want to try and make one, I think my skill set should be up to participate now. definitely won't look as good as yours!
i really enjoy watching your style of hammer making
nice little hammer glen, you always do a great job explaining what you are doing. Also, love your anvils.
Love the fire! With all the technology today, you still need a good hammer. Thank you for the chance to own one of your hand loved piece of steel. Keep making the great content!
Glenn, keep up the Great Work! Thank you
Great instructions. Very nice size hammer.
Very nice! Hammer eyes definitely aren't easy.
great looking hammer, never had the opportunity to use that style of hammer.
I really like your anvils and hammers. Very purposeful, with minimal ornamentation.
Donald, Form is important but not so much as function. Thanks for watching. Glen
Great work as always sir thank you for sharing 👍🏻
Ooh, a drawing? I'm in! Nice work on the hammer BTW.
Thanks for another chance to win and keep up the good work!
very nice! thanks for the GAW!!
Thank you I learned a lot. Keep up the good work.
Glen, your instructional videos are ace! it also shows you are getting more confident in front of the camera and every new video is better than the last! keep up the pace! I love these!
PS: for a view of the anvil unobscured by arms, you could to a top down view in front of the anvil. I see there is a wall there thou so might be cramped if you have a limited space to set up.
pps. next time show the heat treating and handle attachment too!
Nice video and a lot of good explanation of your process. I like using Japanese hammer now.
Great job. Big fan from Poland.
Love your videos!
Nice methodical work! would love one of your hammers
looks wonderful Glen, should be perfect for older damaged arms...
jut staring out and I'm learning a lot from your videos,as far as set up and tooling,I'll be forced to start of with a solid fuel forge, but have started building a forced air gas forge look forward to your incites and understanding of steel use and heat treating ,thank you so much.
I find your videos inspiring. Keep up the good work!
I really dig your work. fine job.
Love the videos, keep up the great work!
