JShock Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I finished my first hammer today. It is a cutler's hammer. It was made of 1 3/4 4140. I hardened about 2 inches of the face. The handle is made of Ash as that is what I had available. I soaked it for 2 days in boiled linseed oil. I have yet to hammer anything with it yet. I hope to have something hammered out by the end of the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 Man that turned out nice. Maybe I'll have to put a few things on hold and get at a hammer or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 "the proof of the hammer is in the hammering!" So how does it handle? ( I like my handles with terminal bulbs so I can have an easier grip. Ash, crab apple, osage orange will all work...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianinsa Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hi Thomas, any pictures on those terminal bulbs?Jshock , that sure came out nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Very nice work, hoss. I was a bit worried when I saw the first photo, thinking "Dude, you'd better ease the corners on that face." Then I saw the other photos. The scaley texture is absolutely gorgeous and really makes the hammer stand out in the crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 the end of the handle just bulges out a bit so it can't slid through your hand if you are using a light grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Nice looking hammer I'll be watching for your reports. I like the pic with Bella's eyes glowing in the background. Sinister looking like maybe she commissioned it or just keeps an eye on everything.Very cool.Frosty The Lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
