brutaldeluxe Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 hi all!!! i have made a new sledge hammer(compact form to use the edge of the table for moving metal) in a square tool steel ( 0.48% carbone) section 70 mm (2.75 inch) , 3600 grams (or 7.70 lbs). "frêne hickory " wood handle. i think it s a good hammer for striking all the time and a longer time than a big one, it s better for my "back problems" special congratulation to URI HOFI, AMIT HAR-LEV and BRIAN BRAZEAL , i like your works !!!thank for your " good learning spirit"!!!!

clinton Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 That is compact very nice. Did you use a hydraulic press, or forge by hand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquamanlr Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 brutaldeluxe Nice hammer!!! A newbe question. What did you use to seal the hammer eye with? LeeRoy aquamanlr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brutaldeluxe Posted April 9, 2010 Author Share Posted April 9, 2010 i have seal the wood handle in the eye with sikaflex 11 FC , it 's a mastic polymere glue !!! (look on the "angele" web site "glue for hammer") ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
