Making a hand-engraved hammer, using only simple tools and no forge
Enjoy this satisfying video of an engraving expert fashioning a hand-engraved hammer, without a forge.
Uri Tuchman has a number of videos of his craft, but this one is extraordinary.
10/10 would hit zombie ghouls in the head with this thing.
From his description:
In this video I am showing how I made a simple hand engraved hammer without a forge or fancy tools. For the Hammerhead I have used a 25mm by 25mm steel bar (1” x 1”) and cherry wood for the handle. Cherry is not ideal for hammer handles, but it is beautiful and this hammer will get very light abuse, ideally hickory or ash wood is used.
