This video shows how I forge my first rounding hammer, using techniques inspired by the work of blacksmith Brian Brazeal.

I had the pleasure of dealing with this man and have bought one of his hammers and have it delivered to Ireland. My opinion - its a work of art. You can tell by the detail on the hammer the passion and love this man has for his smith work. He is a gifted blacksmith. I hope to have the strength & health to swing this hammer for many years to come and pass on to my son at some stage. Thank you again Torbjörn. A delight dealing with you Sir.

***** Thanks! Difficult to tell how loud it is from the video. I'm on auto gain control so the level will adjust itself. However I think the hammer is below average. For any power hammer, it probably depends really much on how it's mounted and in what environment it sits.

I Loved it!!!! I was a fellow Metal worker myself, I worked in the Foundries and Machine Shops for almost 20 Years and til this day reministing on some of the memories of doing Metal work and watching people do it as wellas learning new tricks of the trade, it still amazes meon some of the Chemistry and formationing of objects from Liquid Fire to solid Metal and then forming or "Forging" and Object into something is so beautifully done, people should really learn to appreciate somwething like this because even though it flows so beautilfully it is not that simple either.

Patrick Wojciechowski Thank you! Yes, it's pretty amazing, and the chemistry is quite complex as well when you dig in. What is fascinating is how people learned to produce iron/steel from just trial and error and did things in the "right way" but had no clue about the underlying mechanisms...
