I've never seen the pilot holes for the eye done like that, very cool! Hammertime!

Very nice job, love the control you have with the power hammer, some might say, “It’s Hammertime”

Don't undersell yourself your work skills and videos are great 👌

❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😅😅😅

Hammer time!

Foda-se

Great video, Nils, and thank you, I've made hammers both ways and I think the pilot holes help keep things straight. Hammertime!

Once again great craftmanship. It would be pride and Joy To forge puukko knifes with your Hammer. Hammertime.

👍👍💪💪

I'm curious. Why wouldn't you, instead of cutting out a groove for the high carbon steel just forge weld the steel as a complete middle layer within the iron? Like a sandwich forge weld? Wouldn't that be easier to begin with as well as provide the entire axe better strength? That's just what my brain first went to. I honestly have no idea. I assume because bending the iron and steel that much after forging would risk undoing the forge weld??

🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏

Great job on forging the hammer. We need a weekly HAMMERTIME! Would love to see a big hammer making convention take place with all the best hammer makers out there. It'd be a blast.

It turned out a nice looking hammer, "Hammertime"

Why is the forge scale brushed off?

great Hammer👋

I haven’t had any Hammertime in the last three months due to starting a full time quarrying job but I need to get back int smithing.

This is very inspiring! Hammertime 😃

Im currently making a punch and a drift for making my own rounding hammer and that will be done by hand, so i would love to see a video of you making one. Also i would love to own a Ögren hammer so, Hammertime! Great video Nils!

Great video to watch as always. "Hammertime"

Wonderful hammer and thank you for the video. Hammertime

Hammertime, hammertime, ham, ham, hammertime. Really enjoyed the video!

I could really use a hammer like that to forge and not large nailing hammer. So “hammer time”

Incredible work 👍👍

a great hammer, great job. Hammertime

Hammertime!! total noob, but learning slowly...

Nils, Your skills are incredible. I envy your ability to craft such fine axes, and apparently hammers too. Hammertime

love seeing others forge in shorts!

"Hammertime"

I too got to get a poster of Arnold for my shop...

Hammertime. I'm a newby, love to make something usable from chunk of metal. Thank you for your videos, really inspiring. Love watching you, Torbjörn Åhman and Rigoni Ironworks

Harika bir işçilik emeğine sağlık. Türkiye 👍❤den selamlar

In Europa ist diese Hammerform nicht in Gebrauch !

Hardening and tempering are two things I have difficulties with. How hard should a hammer face be?

❤❤❤❤❤❤

There is nothing better than Hammertime in the morning

Beautiful hammer! Thanks for the shout out. Let’s talk soon!

Hi Nils! I just started my blacksmithing business this year called Silent Valley Limited Co, I have also just completed building my forge and have just started out forging for the first time and it would be an absolute dream of mine to use your hammer for my work! Thanks for the awesome videos! Hammertime

Love the Video, Mr. Hammertime!

I'm always amazed how effortless this all looks. I've forged an axe recently, which is similar enough in some aspects, and it was freakin hard work. I would certainly appreciate that hammer for my own Hammertime :D

А сразу молотом прошить заготовку нельзя? Почему вручную 1 час стучать?

looks good, always helps watching your videos :)

Hade man fått den hade det varit hammertime på riktigt.

Riktigt snygg hammare! Bra jobbat Nils! 🥰

👏👍

I’ve hated the notion of a pilot hole for a long time. I have made many great hammers without a pilot. However, I have come to appreciate the idea lately. It gives more than a good chance of centering the eye. I also embrace hand forging. But I always do as much as possible under a powerhammer. Including punching the eye. I’m old. I’m mad. And I detest work that my tools can do for me. Nils just showed us excellent work!
