Here is one I finished up this weekend. I have not tried a rifle yet,but about all of the work on this one was done by techniques and tips found on the builder's bench forum. It is forged from a ball peen hammer and haft is walnut with cast in place pewter fittings. anvil

I would love to get into forging, looks like a very addictive hobby.

How many hawk heads have you forged?

 

[anvil1231]

Thanks Ya'll I do appreciate it. Raynor I have forged 56 heads that I remember and I don't know how many knives and other wares. It really is addicting. I really did not start to do the fancy handles till I started reading this forum it has really taught me alot. Anvil

Beautumous Anvil! :thumbsup: May I ask what size ballpeen head you started with to make that nice piece?

It would be nice for someone to do a tutorial on the making one of these like that from start to finish! :bow:

That is the great thing about the prevalence of digital cameras .. much stuff can be documented along the way, making it a great learning tool for all of us! :thumbsup:

And what a great idea. The steel in ball peen hammers must be high quality to stand up to metalwork. :applause: :applause: :applause:

I would like to see that myself.

Nice work Anvil! How'd you come up with the idea of using the hammer head beacuse of the steel?

[anvil1231]

It is really not my idea. I have seen these around for years at the blackmith conferences. We make alot of handled punches and such out of ball peens because they are a good steel usually L6.
