Forging a usable and nice looking hatchet out of a ball peen hammer! Possibly the coolest thing I forged so far if I do say so myself!
Thanks "Bespoke Bloke Designs" for the hammer head:

Shout out to all the other makers and blacksmith that did this! It sure is a lot of effort.

Honorable mention to @Brett McAfee for making one out of a steel wedge:

Just a self reminder I must try to punch a hole myself.

Index of operation and materials:
0:20 Coke forge
1:00 I'm not sure how to explain this as I'm no blackmith expert. Instead of time stamps I think it's better if I explain by words here:
I started with a heavy hammer flattening the side of the hammer that will become the blade.
Then I quickly realized the hammer was too heavy and not effective over the large area of the hammer head after the cilinder was flattened.
So switched to a cross peen and little by little I moved material around to reduce the big chunk of metal that was to hammer head into a wedge shaped blade. This took a long time and a lot of work.
Forging took me a day, a good 8 hrs of hammering! (so much fun but also exhausting).
Also, I kept adjusting where the metal moved by working the sides as well as shown here 2:18
For last I forge the spike where the ball side was.
3:10 I left the hatchet to annheal, cooling down very slowly with the forge to make it soft and easy to grind
3:20 Grind profile, spike, and edge on the 2x72 belt grinder
5:00 Quick normalize cycle just before hardening, probably not needed after annhealing but for sure won't hurt
5:50 Checking temperature with a magnet to reach critical (over non magnetic)
5:55 Quench in water to harden
6:10 Tempering with the forge by slowly heating to deep straw color (around 230°C)
I check the hardness that came between 50 and 55 on the Rockwell scale
6:42 Remove scales with wire wheel on bench grinder
7:07 Buff edge and spike to mirror finish with fine polishing compound and cotton wheel on the bench grinder (I did some hand sanding off camera)
I hope the handle part is self explanatory, if not say something in comments and I'll write more!
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you liked the video!
Suggestions and comments are welcome.

  • Not only he created the awesome hatchet, but genuinely explained how he got the hammer and its not his original idea, such humility. I wouldnt know, i dont watch many such channels. There is no limit to this guys knowledge and creativity. From Forging to casting, leather works to wood works, painting to polishing, hammering to soldering, welding to woodturning to etc etc... i dont even know the number of terms he is expert in. Hats off!
