Our swage blocks are all forge-pressed by Brian, Dave, and whoever happens to be visiting our Southwest Florida shop. Every block is hot-stamped with the HM signature skull.
The swages will vary slightly - they are individually handcrafted by us, so no two are 100% alike. Each 3.5" to 3.75" square swage block is made from A36 mild steel and weighs about 3.75lbs.
Each 2" Ball Die is fabricated here using a 2" AISI 52100 chrome steel ball bearing and a 3.6" round of .25" A36 mild steel.

No heat required.
A $5 Harbor Freight hammer is all we used to prove you don't need a shop full of fancy tooling to make our DIY scoops.
