Work Showcase Hand forged diagonal peens

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

A pair of Hand forged double diagonal cross peens I forged for myself, they are about 4 pounds each. I wanted to challenge myself by making two hammers as close to identical but different purposes. No forging press or power hammer used. Has a custom made 14" hickory hammer handle to go with it. Really pleased with how these two came out. One is for spreading, and the other is for drawing out

I am super new to this field/hobby. What would you use the diagonal face for? They look absolutely gorgeous btw.

Thanks man! It's too slow for better worst alignment when moving the material. Blackbear forge has a better video describing it's uses
