Doesn't look right to me but cant explain why, only my second attempt ever, was a chunk of rust mixed in a job lot if second hand tools so didn't have the original handle to go off
Picked up this thing for a quid in a carboot, showed it some love
This is for sale near me fairly cheap, its advertised as a "cast post hammer."
It doesn't state if it's cast iron or steel, but I presume cast iron for driving in posts would be a poor choice?
Very new to the hobby, and steel is hard to come by me reasonably priced, especially stock large enough to make hammers, I was wondering if one end could be narrowed for a striking side either by forging or if its not possible because it's cast welding something to it, and the other re-dressed to make sure its flat
Absolute beginner, not even completed my forge yet, considering this anvil, its a decent size and faily cheap for my area, but unknown make/weight/or composition and it has this worrying (to my inexperienced eye) crack near the heel ... yay or nay?
