Saign Charlestein 1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 These are 3 hammers that started as 30 sheets of 1080 and 15n20. With the tutelage of Dave Lisch, these were pieces of steel were forged into a billet. Then Larry Langdon of Monster Metal was kind enough to let me come and play on his machines and turn the billet into a set of chasing hammers. The handles were cut and shaped from osage orange. I'll be doing another set of video tutorials where every Tuesday I'll release another video in the next seriesof Tutorial Tuesdays: Making a set of Damascus Chasing hammers Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Kelso 55 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Very cool Saign. I think that using them might add a pleasing texture to the faces given the finished nature of your chasing tools. Link to post Share on other sites
