I bought an Estwing framing hammer at a yard sale about 8 or 9 years ago for 2 or 3 bucks , well I was trying to chip out some concrete and well ( yeah I know right tools for the job etc etc) I got lazy and the hammer was handy well found out the claws dont hold up to hitting concrete........

Now what can i do with it Any suggestions
If you're got a forge and anvil you can make it a nice hawk.
Or you can keep using it as a hammer less the claw functionality.
Estwing framing hammer?.........Breaking up concrete with the claws?......
Maybe try hitting your self in the forehead with it?.....LOL ....Naw.... might break the other end....
Maybe have some one with a forge, heat it up and beat it into something useful?
I've made scoop adzes from old carpenter hammers. Never have made one from a estwing but it should be fine.
I had a hammer like that, it was used for nailing up panning and nailing duct from the inside out.
Also: clean your computer, for the love of all that is wholly electronic.
I did once ! you mean you have to do that a lot more than onceQuote:

A hawk is a bird...what do you mean?
He is referring to a Tomahawk Tokwan

Just heat it up with your welding torch Welderguy. Any BF hammer you have will work and about any big heavy chunk of iron you have lying around like an old engine block or casting, if you don't have an anvil.
I have a nice chunk of rail road track thinking of mounting it to a log or a cement filled 5 gallon bucket to use as a anvil, that should work huh?
@kyrat I thought about the torch but cant find my rosebud tip :(
What ive been thinking about is a hair dryer attached to a 3 ft pipe plumbed into the bottom of an old grill that I have should work as a cheap makeshift forge
Ohh okay...turn into an axe u guys meant.....hehe
exactly!! LOLQuote:

You broke a steel hammer? A hammer? How are you around babies?
That's a cool adtz, Randy.
I'm with Rick.....that was a nice hammer you just broke. I love those estwing framing hammers. :(Quote:

Can't tell by the grain. The grain is decidedly on the large size though. I would think Estwing's heat treatment would be top notch.
In general, I doubt it was made by any process other than drop/impression-die forging.
I agree with Canid, probably started as a cast hunk that was pressure forged into a die and heat treated. And the Estwing processing is second to none.
That will be good steel and you doing more forging on it will only improve the structure, as long as you do not burn it in the forge.
As for the makeshift forge; first, try to find the proper tip for the torch. It should work, even if not perfect, if you use a few fire bricks to enclose the flame and restrict the heat.
If that will not work the BBQ grill used with hair dryer and pipe will work if that is all you have. I would also suggest that you get hold of some coal and coke it out rather than trying to use bag charcoal in the forge.
Charcoal will work, and did for centuries, but coal is better and the welding torch is best.
That hammer head is a big chunk of metal to flatten without a proper anvil. If you use the RR track then do set it in a good chunk of concrete.
What is left of the claws will make a nice spike on the back of that hawk.
...or, square it to hammer tent spikes & drive nails.Quote:
