I've been wanting to make a homemade hammer for years now. I didn't want to spend money on one, so I decided to make my own. This is what I came up with
The forging hammer is made from scrap steel, an old steel bar that's been cut and bent into different shapes. The anvil is made from a big chunk of iron that I picked up at a local yard sale. It wasn't cheap, but it was also very old and rusty so it was worth it.
