Fresh out of the fire. Enjoying remaking a few orders this week as USPS has seemingly sent them on a side quest across the country. Hopefully these make it trouble free to their destination! Forge on!
Shop days can be a lot of fun when mixing it up in the forge. A hot cut and small assortment of punches for an order finished up!
These simple 2lb hammers are great option for those who prefer a lighter weight but still want the benefit of the rounding hammer.
Pair of hammers on the table today! 2lb or 2.5lb that look sweet and will move some steel!
Rough forged, but looking good! Rounding hammers are a super versatile style of hammer for Blacksmiths!
Set of chisels for today. I forge them with both a curved or straight edge.
2.5lb hand forged hammer fresh out of the oil. Getting this rich black color is a simple process that doesn't require any special wax, oil or sorcery.. Just the right temp and timing.
The forbidden donut!!!! Clinker is the mass of non-combustible material left over from burning carbon based fuels like coal or coke.
Some blacksmith in France is going to enjoy these!!! Always cool to see these end up in a makers hands overseas!!!
From a chunk of steel to a hammer with 2000 degrees of heat and a bit of brute force. Such a cool thing to see the progression!

Round punch from O1 on the power hammer. Finishing up the last few orders from the material shortages. Found 2 new suppliers that seem to keep O1 on the shelf more readily available. So starting Monday the lead times will see a good reduction, some items will see a bump in price as well due to the rising costs of materials on 7/10. www.WaterOakForge.com #wateroakforge #jgknives #blacksmith #blacksmithing #knifemaker #metalwork #tools #toolmaker #fabricator #welding #toolstomaketools #handmade #smallbatch #handforged #veteranmade #hammer #handtools #anvil #forged #bruteforce #americanmade #diy #blacksmithtools #forgingpress #powerhammer #madeinsc #upstatesc
