- Опубліковано 1 чер 2017
- In this video, I forge one of my single face style hammers out of hexagonal stock - not my usual round or rectangular stock style. I also make this a bit longer than my standard hammers. I explain a bit about my tooling and the process...

You're working off a balcony! Very impressive. Reminds me that we don't always need all the space or fancy tools we think we need in order to do the job well
I would cherish this hammer, I've been drooling over your hammers ever since I started watching you. You are a very talented and gifted blacksmith, and to own one of your pieces of art would be an honor I would cherish forever.
out of all the blacksmith I watched on UA-cam I enjoy your channel the most. keep up the good work Glen.
I just cant believe you do all this by hand. People that have never hit a chunk of steel that big with a hand hammer would have no idea how hard it really is. Just amazing hats off too you Glen!
10,000 is just the beginning. blacksmithing is in a huge resurgence. Your channel is excellent! Ride the wave to 100,000 by this time next year. thank you for your fantastic tutorials!!!
Beautiful tool! Also I found the sound of the rain very soothing.
What impresses me most about your work is the exactitude with which you perform each function combined with the overall neatness of your workspace . impressive !
Still one of favorite channels. Thanks Glenn
Thanks, I appreciate your support. Glen
Glen, I'd love to have your Hammer...who wouldnt!! I love your anvil, forge and tools that you've made. I've been curious about your lifestyle, there in a foreign country. Love to see a video about where you live, cost of things (compared to the US), how/why you over there, etc. You're a great wealth of information to all of us "newbies" to the craft and I thank you for varied and numerous projects that you put out. Enjoy each and every one! Thanks,

Mark, How funny, I'm only replying to your comment here after so long and after just sending your purchase. I kept thinking - this name seems familiar... I will do some giveaways again when time allows. Thanks.
You're awesome, Glen. Definitely one of the people who got me very interested in the craft.
the gods were giving you quenching water, nice work.
Yes, my slack tub runneth over... Thanks.
Thanks Glen for the video. It is another well thought out process that ended in a project with your elegant yet frugal and robust style.
Great job done even working through downpour conditions. Super use of your tool set and the skills that go along with them.
Hi Sonny and thanks for your support...for your purchases. Rain can get pretty wild here at times.
Hi Glen, You make it look easy and I hope it is some day for me! I have bad feet and I am a huge fan of your forge anvil setup, especially how you can sit in one spot and move from one to the other easily. I am redesigning my space to have that ease of use. Thanks Glen!
Gene, Sitting while forging can be a good option but also has it's hazards. Good luck in all and sorry for the super slow response.
I'm always amazed at how quiet your anvils are. Nice work today!
It´s nice to finally see someone create a japanese style hammer from scratch, and inspiring to watch. thanks :)
My husband Dallas think that was amazing work considering that thunderstorm was bad. that is one awesome hammer.
Lisa/Dallas, Thankfully I'm still around to make more hammers and didn't get hit by lightning. Sorry for the super low reply. Thanks.
Great work! Glad you didn't get washed away during that rain storm.
Thanks for showing all your punches at once... good to see the progression start to finish.
Nice hammer. Thanks for doing such a good job on videos. We really enjoy your work.
Wayne, I will do this sort of giveaway again, hopefully soon. Sorry for the super slow response. Thanks.
Love your work. Your take on tool making in the Japanese style is artful and unique.
Thank you for another informative video, Glen. Gorgeous hammer! My hat is off to you for persevering during that storm, well done.
That is a beautiful hammer. Anyone would be proud to own that hammer. I found your tools and techniques so interesting as they are different from most of the other blacksmiths I watch. thanks for such a great learning experience.
It's good to see someone still making hammers with just hand tools, to many other people just use power hammer and it get boring to watch. Really enjoy the information your putting out the
hi I am a panel beater stubbed on to ur utube site thought it was amazing I love working with metal . I get a lot of satisfaction seeing the end result so that you for putting your work on . Now I have something else to do with metal .
Nice hammer! It's great to see you make this without a press or power-hammer, very inspiring for those of us that don't have them! Thanks!
Nice to watch a hammer made without a striker with just a hand hammer turned out really nice good job.
Hi Glen
Great work. Super clean and tidy.
Thanks for sharing.
as always thank you for your hard work to make your videos Glen.Your rain storm is like some of the ones we get here at home in western Washington awesome hammer,your work is always amazing Thanks again
I love the hammer, your videos and mainly your unique style of the art. Have a great day Glen!
Lovely bit of work Glen.
Very nice Glen. Great instructions on the how-to of making a hammer. Never had a chance to use that style hammer. Thanks for your time.
Watching you work is always nice, you make blacksmithing look like a child game, i also find really inspiring the fact you don't have a fancy workshop but just a balcony! (but mabeye i've already said that)
Amazing work again Glen!
Thanks for watching.
Hey Glen, I love the hexagon shape. It's good to see you continue uploading videos, too!
Always love your videos. Thank you for the time and effort you put into them.
Nice job getting the eye so straight without rotating the workpiece every couple of blows. I will have to try the Japanese style hammer sometime. thanks Glenn.
That's a really good looking hammer, needs a good thunderstorm-ish name to go along with it
Most excellent job Glen! The aesthetics are very pleasing with the longer length and the rounded edges. An excellent blade hammer it will be!
Excellent craftsmanship!
Very nice hammer, Glen. I love seeing the entire process.
Hello Glen. Great work i always in joy watching you forge. You are a big inspiration i finally forged my first hammer last week it didn't turn out as nice but that will come over time. Thanks again for the great videos. and very nice hammer would look great in my collection.
Mariano, I appreciate your kind words and am sorry for the super slow reply. I will do this sort of giveaway again, hopefully soon. Thanks.
Thanks for all your videos. I know it's a lot of work.
thank you for another inspiring video... love the unique abd utilitarian style of your work
Great work, always a pleasure watching your videos
Well done! Looking forward to seeing the finished hammer.
With your limited space, you've showed that you don't need much if you want to black smith.
Great tutorial and a very beautiful hammer!!
Very nice hammer and I like those drifts you use.
Just today I saved seven rusty hammers from the junkyard :)
Keep up the good work!

Awesome hammer, nothing like blacksmithing in the rain. "Dibs" on the hammer!
I love your work. you're an inspiration.
Glen!! Great video and great hammer - thanks for taking the time to share your methods.
You always do such nice work, and I sure would value that hammer in my forge - Booyah!
thanks for the video. It is always interesting watching your work environment, because I was born in Taiwan and live in the US now. Opposite of your situation. It bring back memories.
Nice hammer. Like your idea with the different drifts
Great job love your workmanship

Great job. Thanks for showing my touch mark
Right on Glen, congrats on the 10K and very cool way to make a hammer.
it is very cool to watch the anvil take the heat out of the piece as it sits on the anvil. very nice looking hammer!
Awesome work. I really like the shape. Well done
Awsome to see once again a "new" way of making one. Major difference between your way of doing it and the way i was told it should be done (at school). Will have to give it a go when i next time get the chance to forge again. Thx for the content m8.
Great hammer to grace anyone's tool box and a very explanatory video thanks
Turned out nice. Your dedicated to the craft to have worked through that storm like that. Here's to your next ten thousand.
working in the rain = dedication! nice result
You do great work. I love your videos!
Been thoroughly enjoying your channel since your beginnings!
Looks great Glen, I have make some drifts so this video is gonna be very helpful, thanks.
Absolutely brilliant! I was hoping to see one hand forged and this was it.
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Hammer looks nice! Cant wait to see it with a handle and finished.
Nice project Glen, enjoyed this content.
Great Tutorial! Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'm looking forward to see how the hammer cleans up after you get all the scale off of it.
Hello, Glen! another great work! Thank you for showing us the process how your hammer is made. I hope you continue your work as always. Cheers! (I am entering for this unique hammer too!)

Aron, Glad you like this. Sorry for the slow reply and thank for watching. Glen
I always enjoy watching your blacksmithing videos. I am amazed as oto the way you blacksmith so many different tools, and projects without power hammers and the like. Always interesting and fun to watch. Must be the rainy season in Taiwan now! Thanks for the chance to win such a great hammer! I need it!

As always, Glen, great work! You have really taught me a lot, with your videos. I have even begun sitting down, while doing some forging tasks, like riveting and chiseling...lol..that Hammer would look great in my Smithy...congratulations on reaching 10,000 subscribers!
Glen, you channel is a pleasure to watch! As a beginning blacksmith, I appreciate your teachings. Sure could use a nice hammer like that! I'd put it to work right away!⚒
