32oz ball peen
64 oz cross peen
76 oz straight peen (made this myself out of an 8lb splitting maul)
64 oz engineers hammer
40oz engineers hammer
16 oz rubber mallet
I might be missing something but yeah I'm happy with how my assortment is coming along.
I can't forge jack shit yet but I've gotten a lot more skilled by making knives out of hardened bolts and drill bits and my forearms are bigger and stronger now than when I weighed 250+ rofl.
would kill for a 40oz cross peen but they're hard to find (good steel obv) but i have more than enough tools to get something resembling an axe (eventually.)
curious is blacksmithing anything you have an interest in?
