Forging hot metal with power hammer ???? - Video

Watch the mesmerizing process of forging red-hot metal with a power hammer! ????

The setup: A piece of metal is heated in the forge until it glows bright orange. Then it's placed on the anvil under the power hammer. ⚒️

The action: The hammer pounds rapidly – BANG BANG BANG! Each strike shapes the metal with precision. The smith moves and turns the piece between blows, controlling the form. ????

The result: Raw metal transforms into a tool, blade, or decorative piece. Stronger than machined parts because forging aligns the grain structure. ✨

Why use a power hammer? It does the work of 10 blacksmiths – faster, stronger, more consistent. But still requires human skill to guide each strike!
