This old hammer

I’ve got this old claw hammer hanging around, the head is loose, I was thinking about cutting the handle off and forging something out of it, purely out of boredom while I am waiting for my real metal to show up, what do you guys think? Camp hatchet?

Cut the claws off and go for the bowl adze. You have to forge different shapes to accomplish that. You have shown you are more than capable of forging an axe shape so it will help your hammer work for sure.
