DIY Aluminum Bronze Hammer: Golden hammer for Black Smithing

Today I take the aluminum bronze ingots I made in a previous video ( • The Bronze Alloy as To... ) and turn it into a glorious golden aluminum bronze hammer! I made my own handle as well. Total do-it-yourself style, every single part was made by me, including the fire brick furnace and propane burner. On an unrelated note, it all looks a bit sketchy, and you probably shouldn't try this at home...

swdweeb Unlucky fella, what happened to your hammer was a shame. My vote would have still been with this hammer simply because it is a more functional smithing type hammer, in my eyes. I definitely use this type of hammer more in my shop than I would a ball pein. However yours was a great attempt....obviously not your fault it turned out like that, just really unlucky. Still, I like your channel and am a sub 😀

I like your style of humorous slight self deprecation dood. But know this, for a first time not only with Ali bronze but also making a hammer, your work has definitely inspired me to copy you. I had a steel hammer of this shape once and miss it dearly so to have one (or actually a whole family) in bronze will be a real treat. I think you would be well advised to make a pouring shank and a pair of crucible tongs. I assure you it makes the pour much easier. Nice one fella👍👍

@teh0theif 6 жыл бұрын

Nice hammer! Another reason for the taper getting thicker away from the head is sweat. When you are forging, you sweat, sweat makes hand slippery slippery hands and smooth handle = hammer flying away. (I've been a part time black smith for ~9 years)

I've seen worse casts, like the time you did open face pours with aluminum. This round you did great, though. Always excited to see you try new stuff with molten metals. This pattern looked pretty tricky, but the core worked well enough for your purposes. Congrats, dude. As for the percentages of metals used, I was happy to see you throw the madness of math out the window and just freeball it. I'll give a look at the other guy's hammer video, but am not expecting to be as impressed. You really killed it making the handle. I hope it holds up as well as the block of bronze. It sure looks nice. Thanks for sharing, man. These videos are great.

@TotseInfo 6 жыл бұрын

Watched SWDweeb's video. His finished hammer is great. He even plays it more fast and loose than you do with his pattern making. He has some beautiful work, but I still cast my cot on your side. That air bubble in the face of the hammer seems like it will leave marks on the forged work. Functionality takes priority over aesthetics (but he royally kills you in that regard). Great efforts on both sides, and I've subscribed to him.

As long as the casting holds up that's the main thing. I have a few hammer heads and mallets that have seen several new handles due to time and usage. I also made a steel handle for a ball peen hammer that's been around my dads house for ages. I believe they are forged, and still well used. They should last virtually for forever. I like how this man made his wooded mallets, I will try making a few of these to use in my wood and metal shop. Also a cool gift idea (for me ;) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hrGXZpOp0rKudqc.html@@PaulsGarage

Love your videos, more for your humor than your skill, but also for that. Heh, well you wound up with a huge shrink deficit because you didn’t cut a feeder cup that would continue to provide more molten bronze as the hammerhead began to contract away the walls of the mold. I used to work in a bronze foundry, though we used ceramic shell molds instead; not practical for your setup, the pour cups worked as feeder cups all the same, and we seldom had any shrink deficits. However, we never casted anything solid, so I hope you like the color of the smoke I am blowing up your keester.

@ProtozoanKid Жыл бұрын

If you want a relatively easy way to help strengthen your parts similar to work hardening, you can take a few 1/16" ball bearings and sandwich them between two strips of tape (about an inch long) in rows at either end. Glue this into a slot in a small rod with equal parts of tape out either side and use that in your drill to make a flapper peener. Using this to hit the surface of your metals will strengthen the surface so it will stand up to fatigue better.

@eviltwinx 6 жыл бұрын

Wow! Super awesome! What’s the benefit of aluminum bronze hammer when forging? Is it to hit a harden tool, like a another hammer, without the danger?

@PaulsGarage 6 жыл бұрын

Mostly the advantage is I can actually cast it, unlike steel :D but it's a little denser than steel so it's heavier, and although it's a copper alloy it work hardens a lot so it doesn't go all soft and squishy like a brass hammer. Fresh out of the sand it's annealed, but it hardens up quickly with some work. I'm hoping i can make a bunch of tools out of the stuff. Most of the awesome properties are irrelevant to forging, it's non-magnetic, it's non-sparking, it's tarnish/corrosion resistant, but the weight and hardness is the reason i picked it as a hammer material. Most alloys i can cast aren't hard enough, except aluminum bronze.
