This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in
Metal Working.
For this BB, you will be making a custom hammer (hardened)!
Here is what one might look like:
Minimum requirements:
- The custom hammer needs to be forged from one piece of metal
- It can have a wood handle (that's a different BB though)
- It has to be very well made
- It can start as a hammer head if you modify it significantly
- It must be hardened
To document your completion of the BB, provide the photos or video (<2 min) of the following:
- The supplies you're starting with
- Partway through the build
- The finished custom hammer (hardened)
- Prove the hammer is hardened by pounding 10 good sized nails into hardwood and showing the face is undamaged (or equivalent test)
