I got hammered after I made this.. with booze... not a penis.

Does a blacksmith use a hammer to make a hammer? How do you make the first hammer?
ottoe57
Yup. Used a bigger hammer

With stone mallets!

You should use this hammer to make a smaller hammer. Repeat ad infinitum.
ottoe57
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 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.

Ah, but does it come when you summon it?
ottoe57
Sadly no
MaplePhoenix
Ah well...still nice though!

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

I like a title that says it all.

Not messing around with witty titles.
