Forging A Forging HammerThe hammer and anvil are the most fundamental and iconic of all the blacksmith’s tools. Making our own anvil would be a lot, but we -can- make our own hammer.
In four three-hour sessions, students will forge and finish their own 2lb forging hammers, as well as the tools to make them.
Students will learn the basics of striking (teamwork with a sledgehammer) and forge their hammers and hammer eye punches through the power of friendship.
Afterwards, students will grind, harden, differentially-temper, and handle their hammers for use as they continue their smithing journey.
Gift Certificates for Forging A Forging Hammer are available.
