The handle for the hammer must be made of well-seasoned, hard, tough wood.
If you have old, Soviet, wooden skis that can be thrown away a long time ago, you can make a good handle for a hammer out of them. From the middle part of the skis.
When making skis, good wood is used, dried and seasoned.
In addition, what is important, for the production of skis they use wood without defects: knots, curls, cracks, wormholes, rot, and so on.
That's why I decided to make a handle for such a hammer from a ski.
For such a hammer weighing 500 g, the recommended length of the handle is 360 mm, and its width and thickness at the more massive end are 31 and 18 mm. A handle of this size can be made from the middle part of the ski.
The end of the handle that connects to the hammer should be 4-6 mm narrower and thinner than the one that is held by hand when working. The dimensions of the thin end should be slightly larger (by about 1 mm) than the linear dimensions of the hammer hole, so that the hammer head fits onto the handle with a certain force, “with interference.”
The cross-section of the handle should be oval.
Shown is how I made the hammer handle.
I cut out the middle, thickest part of the ski, 360 mm long.
According to the markings, I pre-cut the handle with a jigsaw.
Processed it with an electric planer. Also still preliminary.
The ends were processed on a grinder.
I made a wedge cut from the thin end of the handle.
I finished the handle with a hand plane.
Treated with sandpaper.
Coated the handle with special mineral oil.
He placed the hammer on the handle.
Hammered the wedge.
All is ready.
For the other hammer, I made the handle out of a hockey stick. The clubs are also made of good wood.
This is how you can easily and quickly make a handle for a hammer from a ski or hockey stick.
Let's give a second life to sports equipment!
