About
This intensive course is a must for every blacksmithing enthusiast.
You'll forge your own hammer from a block of 1045 steel, a medium-carbon steel known for strength, durability, and versatility. You'll learn to punch, drift, and forge large volumes of steel with forge, anvil, hammers, tongs, punch, drift, and the fuller. You’ll also learn the process of heat treating, shaping, and setting hammers.
There are few things more satisfying than forging a hammer to use the next time you stand at the forge and anvil!
