I’m a geologist in the US. This type of hammer in the US is called a Masons Hammer and I have found this to be a much more useful shape to use in exploring rocks than a rock hammer. The downside of yours is that it’s beautiful and I wouldn’t want to mess it up. Amazing work.

Ah, nice! I used to pick mineral samples at old mines here in Sweden. I think a ordinary geologist hammer is harder and this one would probably wear quite fast.

This is would be good for soft rocks only. For hard rocks, you really need a traditional geologist's hammer.

Good craft is an art. It took some time, but my dad's yelling "put that hammer back from where you took it after you finish!" payed off. Maybe it takes a bit longer to focus on details, but shortcuts usually takes twice as much time 😆 With a pretty and handy tool, work is much more satisfying. At the end, if you can show your work and be proud of it (or at least if you can say "it's my creation" without a shame), it means you put a bit of heart in that. And if someone else works on your machine or with your tools, they can sense this. Very often i can see if someone putting a machine together cared, or just wanted to make his/hers job done and forget about it. If i see wires in the electrical cabinet neatly put in cable trays, if connectors are crimped nicely, i can bet this cabinet will have much higher chance of functioning properly for many years, because someone who made it, simply cared about work. And this makes my job easier when I'm searching for a problem.🙂

That's what you call a "Tool For Life" . As someone who has trained in metalworking (5 years apprenticeship) I can appreciate your art/craftsmanship.

I really liked the synergy between you and your cat. Such tenderness and mutual trust. Combined with the brute force of the blacksmith's trade, that's kind of unusual.

As I watch you make pieces like this I often muse "How many generations of the Ahman family will use this hammer and think of the man who made it and the wonderful craftmanship that went into it." You not only make beautiful tools you make legacies that will outlive you !

The geometry of this head is so pleasing

That hammer is a master piece! It was amazing!! 😊❤

I have known this tool as a mason's hammer for 60 years I still have my great grandfather's

I love hammers. I have a collection of hammers. I've made several little ones. I would love to smith some hammers, but I suck at forging, and never seem to have enough time in the day to work on it. I would work at night once it's cool, but it's really loud... Maybe I can finally make a stand for my forge soon, so I don't have to kneel when i work... that and chaining my anvil down to a stump.

Everything you do becomes a work of art! I really love, what I saw as a Swedish flag at the top of the hammer, but I guess some/most people may just say it's a cross and a smart way to secure the hammer to the handle, but to me it was an obvious flag AND a beautiful way to secure the hammer + handle :) I may just be homesick, even though I'm only in the country "next door" (Norway).

Thank You Mr. T for Sharing your skills.

When I was a boy we had an older gentleman that lived across the road from us that was a brick mason. My dad had him build a large brick area in which to plant bushes. I watched him build it of course. He was more of an artist than craftsman. The end of your video reminded me of days gone by.

Like all metal work, the never ending cycle of making round things square, and square things round. Beautiful work as usual! 👍 😃
