Normalizing hammer heads

I totally forgot to post further pictures of the hammer I forged last year.Preparing the hammer heads to be heat treated, I am doing what is known as normalizing. Normalizing relieves all tension in the steel and refines the grain size of the steel. hope you guys like them. this is my favorite picture

Blacksmith Guillotine

Here it is my anvil guillotine.  I have yet to test it out. Apologies for the fuzzy picture. 

My Blacksmith guillotine

After my first fuller tool broke I decided to make a blacksmith guillotine. I saw the idea on the blade forum website. It's coming along, the frame and hardy hole shaft Are all welded up. I just need to straighten and shape the leaf spring into the working pieces

Handled it

I managed to source some hammer handles from the hardware shop. They just need a run-over with some sand paper and they're goo to go. 

Punch and drift

In order to forge a hammer there are two tools that are used to crest the hammer eye; a punch and a drift. So I made these two for the hammer making I will be doing. The ouch is used to make the actual incision and the drift is used to drift the hole bigger o size. 

Making a hammer

I've have always wanted to have a hammer that has a flat and round face on it, as a jeweller we use either of the two. I would like to have a hammer with both faces much like the blacksmith rounding hammer. I went to a spring manufacturer and bought an on old spring, the diameter of the round stock is approximately 30mm it semed like a good thickness.
