You should use this hammer to make a smaller hammer. Repeat ad infinitum.

This. This is a great idea.

Just keep grinding. Eventually you’ll be able to made dragon armor.

Oddly enough I started smithing when I was playing Skyrim. I picture the bellows in the game every time I make something

@OP You dont happen to have a youtube channel or something?
ottoe57
No. But there is a hammer maker named Brent Bailey that does. Or check out Alex Steele.

I like a title that says it all.

Not messing around with witty titles.

Everything can be a hammer if its hard enough.

I feel like "forged it into shape" should have more. That's the part I was interested in.... And the hardening. How hot was it? so many ?
ottoe57
I was so in to the process that I didn’t take pictures of those. I will say that we did a water quench and torch tempered it.

It looks like nice work.

Tutorial please
ottoe57
Hrmmm. That is a good idea. But since this was my first hammer and it was done under supervision I am not sure if I am the right person

I’m taking my first class shortly

Does a blacksmith use a hammer to make a hammer? How do you make the first hammer?
TehSeksyManz
With stone mallets!
ottoe57
Yup. Used a bigger hammer
MaplePhoenix
Ah, but does it come when you summon it?
ottoe57
Sadly no
MaplePhoenix
Ah well...still nice though!
