Damion78 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I made this hammer awhile back but thought I would share. It's not the best but it's doing the trick and I'm purdy proud of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Nothing wrong with that! What size stock did you start out with? What's her weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rashelle Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Cool hammer making is fun and it's really nice to be able to say not only did I make this or that but I made the hammer that made it. I take it you made the tongs also? Something you might consider on the next ones is to not make the eye hole round. That way it won't be tempted to twist and will stay indexed with the handle. Will you be going to the NWBA hammer in coming up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damion78 Posted October 17, 2014 Author Share Posted October 17, 2014 I started out with 2" stock it was a pin of some kind from a piece of heavy machinery. I also made the drift and tongs . The hole ended up being kinda oval/ diamond when I finished it took a lot of work on my own I was quit pleased when I finally punched through.Not sure if I'll make it to the NWBA oh and it weighs 4 and 3/4 lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Looks like a very rugged, capable piece of tooling to me. As you say, it does the job, and you can be justly proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
