*troubles with my computer. When I can better pictures will replace this one*

Derrick Phillips and I made this to compliment/complete the hot cut set. (bottom hot cut was made durring a class with brian brazeal from his instruction top was made per his)
Derrick swung a 12 lbs. sledge to form this. I directed.
Made from a pin out of some large equipment. Given to us by eather of two fellow smiths. Both gave us a bunch of round stock for hammer making and I forgot to mark which were from which. Both are thanked for the material to play around with. :D I love playing with hot metal :D
We punched a bunch of eyes and seperated the ones that were inline and in the middle to make into hammers and the ones that didn't meet this criteria for top tools like this one.
Aproximatly 3 partial days of smithing (nights after work) to make this peice and punch 2 eyes a day at the same time...ahh the joys of propane forges when you want to work on multiple peices at once.

Tested out my first try at a makers mark on the cheecks and now know how to make the next one better. Keeping this one for marking endgrane on handles, planes, chisels etc...

i wish i could, but the travel could quite expensive .

by the way, do you have any experience with induction forging ? i saw a induction heating machine for forging and it would be more practical for me.

I do not have any experiance with it but from what I hear the setting up can be expensive but the running is relitively cheeper. I don't have any experiance myself with one. Though they seem like fun and can be used very effectively. If I had that kind of money to throw at it and the electrical circut to plug it into I would. Sadly I will have to stick with propane and coal for now.

well thanks anyway

i have the plug to connect it to the 220 so i should be good. and the only thing that stop me for forging is that i don't have any fire pit or the knowledge to make it.

fire pits can be as simple as a fire pit you would use to have a campfire out back. All you need to do is add blown air to get high enough temperatures. A simple hole in the ground or a box or tub filled with dirt and a black pipe to suplie air into the fire will work great. [link]

any advise for tempering ? someone told me to look at the color, the other one told me to check when magnet stop to stick to the metal.

but some steel need PRECISE temperature to temper.

Now thermal cycling, hardening, tempering, normalizing, and anealing are all different processes used to affect the steel. your dealing with 2 of them there so the information is correct just dealing with different objectives. On many of my unknown steels I have thermal cycled the steel then quenched in cooking oil and placed in my oven for 2 hours at 425 to temper. I haven't dealt much with known steels and that is a very big lake to wade in.
