In this course students will take old sledge hammers and turn them into high quality forging hammers. This will involve taking an existing hammer head and reforming it into a new type of hammer using custom forging dies. Students will learn how to shape contours using the bench grinder and belt grinder then they will assemble the hammer into new wooden handle!

Prerequisites: We recommend you  complete a beginner blacksmithing class such as Forging Nails prior to taking this class, or having previous experience.
