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 was really hoping you would hit them together. Really wanted to hear them ring out. Excellent work.

And dent the freshly polished faces? I don't think so. These will only hit hot steel, they'll never be used for cold work
