Torbjörn Åhman: In this video I show how to forge a flatter.

Rodrigo: Mr. I found the quality of your job very remarkable and even hard to believe. Such an incredible dedication and commitment to achieve perfection. Congratulations.

Stodone:What type of steel is good for making hammers , flatters and such tools?

Torbjörn Åhman + Stodone :Look for 1045, 4140 or 4340 steel... scrap car axles are usually made of something along those lines and can be used after some heat treatment testing/investigation.
