I want to make a couple of hammers to get my shop going. I have an angle grinder, a vise, and some flap discs so this video was EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks Mr. Moss.

Literally needed this exact video just started and got an old cross peen but has a sharp profile and I only have hand tools!!

Nice job brother.

Excellent video on hammer dressing. I may have missed it in the video, but if you are doing any grinding or polishing on the face after it has been tempered, don't get the face any hotter than, say, uncomfortable to the touch. Keep it cool and keep the temper! That goes for store-bought or second hand hammers as well.

Thanks Dan, excellent information as usual.

Thank you Daniel for the great video on this subject. I am extremely new to blackskithing 69 retired, I built me a coal forge that turned out very nice I might add... I did come to learn it is much easier to build a forge then it is to actually forge. Anyway, I have been acquiring a number of tools a few used hammers that need dressing, Swedish, German, and French styles ranging from 600 to 1200 grams. This vid is very helpful. Thanks again, Warm Regards.

A first class lesson, clear and precise well done

Love the video and info as usual dan thank you for helping us try get better keep up the great work mate

As always, the video is chock full of useful information, and I thank you for sharing your processes.

Great video Dan, lots of content and safety tips. You are right on about the abrasives being nasty for your lungs.

Thanks for the great video Dan I literally have to final grind a hammer face in the next week and appreciate the tutorial

Gotta love flap discs. Essentially sandpaper going at 12K rpm.

Great video

Great info, second time thru, it makes lot more sense now

Those are a thing of beauty. For me, doing the first strike, is going to be a little heartbreaking. Love them! I have some second hand hammers that need some love, what a great skill polisher as well. Thank you, Dan

Always good information can never learn too much. And learning processes from different people broaden your own knowledge

really like the video, always some good info.

very helpful. i mostly just filed mine cold. thanks for this!

Interesting video with lots of useful info. I recently purchased a lot of hammer heads and have been finishing them and adding or fixing the handles. I try to avoid using a grinder and have used a belt sander to achieve similar profiling and then polishing on a bench grinder to polish. Both are inexpensive models and they are somewhat under powered and don't cut too aggressively. This process appears to be a bit slower than what you demonstrated with the grinder but I found I could control things better and felt personally safer with these tools than with using the grinder. Your results look much nicer than mine but I think that is a matter of your skill vs mine. Just thought I mention this as I think its much easier than using a rasp/file. Thanks for the video as it give me a lot of insight on what the profiles really need to be.

Woohoo glad to see this one🙏💜🧙‍♂️

Thanks Dan for the info I'm going to do that with the hammer soon just been like you bloody busy lol and by the way I'm getting things a bit more sorted now.

Keep up with ur awesome videos forge on

Love the scandi design. Great video brother and great info 🙏 Well wishes and Blessed days Crawford out ⚒️🧙‍♂️

Great video Dan

Thanks man, goos stuff.

These hammers look great. I never used one but it would be nice to have one and master it. Thanks for video enjoyed it very much.

Good Job Dan Love the video My Friend, looking good.

Great content as usual, it always seemed a bit of a dark art to getting the 'correct' profile on a hammer face, well described & demonstrated ATB Dave

Thanks for the great video Dan, good info mate. I use the same process up to the scotch brite. But I will indefinably have to get myself one of those polishing kits cos that make for a beautiful finish. Oh and by the way, 'Still Waiting' for the junior hammer video you promised a couple of months ago !!! LOL. Yes, Yes I know "Its Coming" 🤞🤞🤞 Cheers Mate 👍⚒

Great video. Can you please tell me where you buy your scotch brite flap disks from? I can't find them anywhere.

God I've been looking for this. o7 Just got started.

Those are looking great. What kind of treatment and shape do you give the handles?

Mine use to be mirror finish, But worked that out. I guess I need to put it back to the way you gave it to me. Lol Nice looking hammers dude.

Great video and beatifull hammers, hope to win one!

Dan, could you post link for the mop kit please

First to say first. My grandson destroyed the face on the one that you made for me. So i need this info bad

Just been given a bunch of old hammers as I'm starting out. This is perfect! With the heat treat are we aiming for any specific temperature (colour wise?) and what did you then subsequently quench in, please? Also, being also UK based, do you know where's best to pick up handle material? Some of the ones I've been given are...well...hammered! :D Ace video, thanks for the learning!

Very timely. I've just begun making a cross-peen. hamer. Thanks.

Where do you get 4.5” x 7/8” scotch brite disks? Great video. Thanks.

Zer. Gut. Kamrad.

How much are you forged hammer heads?

Dan May I ask if that hammer was made from Fork Truck Tine ? Hence I'm wondering about the Heat Treatment Hardening and Temporing. Great Video by the way Thanks for sharing

How much for a crosspein? Set to the USA? U like your style gammers

Hey mate I went to the store link and its zero items. Me thinks I went to the wrong link

I wouldn't trust myself to put my hands anywhere near that close to a grinder, far too clumsy! Another good video, cheers!

Thanks again for outstanding videos that teach. Just bought a straight peen and cross peen for $20. The faces need work and thanks to you, I know how to do it.

Dan, received my dogs head hammer. Pleased as punch with it. And for now the face is all shiny...

So you temper them to a dark blue? Sorry if I'm being a bit dense ;0)
