Then, steel from the retired Big BLU power hammer is turned into competition choppers before the finalists build rock-throwing crossbows, also known as stone bows. #ForgedInFire Watch more Forged in Fire on the official series YouTube playlist: https://histv.co/WatchForgedinFire Don't miss a video!
