Do you think it matters the weight of the hammer you use for a forge weld? I’m thinking, based on my experience (about two years worth) that yes. A heavier hammer does set a weld faster and better but I haven’t heard any other blacksmith talk about it
The reason it's hard to talk about is because the weight of the hammer is relative to what you are welding (or forging). A 2lb hammer is heavy if you are welding 1/4 round but way to light is you're working on 3/4 square bar. There's no one hammer that will be right for everything.

I should make one of these too, not just for the task of welding parts, but also for taking hot pieces of copper I've annealed out of the coals.
Good demonstration. Thanks Denis.
That's a great idea. Thanks for sharing!
Very nice work. they do remind me of tweezers' nice design. I may have to try this myself godbless, and thank you for sharing your wisdom as always.
Wonderful video! Thank you :)
Brilliant idea 👍

Great idea for welding, very nice set of Twezongs. Thanks Denis for sharing.
