Update, I went back for another day of learning. We finished the hammering and I learned that my pure Chinesium hammers from Harbor Freight will take care of me just fine until I make my own. We did thermal cycling to reduce grain size and I spent a bit over 2 hours in front of a 2x72 belt grinder getting one side of the tang right. I managed to get it flat to within 2 10ths of an inch at the worst low spot on the other side if that makes sense. Did that yesterday, I go back next week. I spent all day today working on clearing out half the garage to get my own forge set up in a permanent place after waiting about 4 years for it.
