Sam Salvati Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Made up a small offset hammer tonight. about a pound, Oak handle Titanium wedge. Also made up an S7 slit and drift tool, and tried out a brand new punch lube, which is the best I have ever used and is commercially available for fairly cheap. It is good to 2400F according to the label, and I have verified that by painting it onto glowing hot steel. Punches slide in easier and pop right out like butter.

Chad J Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Nice one Sam! Great job, right down to burning the handle. Punches are next on the list of mine to make, but only after the honey do's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 What's the name of your new punch lube, Sam? I'd like to try it too. That hammer looks cool. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
