In my latest workshop project, watch me make a brass hammer from an old brass coatrack that I found in the trash! Cast the stock that didn't come out perfect, but I am happy with the result of this brass hammer project… i’ll make more hammers like this to prefect the technique with a future hammer build.

One of the things I enjoy most about your work is that you are never a slave to either old tech nor new tech. We see a precision milling machine and an old draw knife used on the same project. I love that!

Using the step bit to deburr the hole was a cool tip. And it was satisfying watching it spin on the bandsaw.

just an idea maybe you could cut the corners of the square part off to look like a hex, to look like your ice picks. or maybe a brass ring at the end of the handle. great work as always!

A thing from trash. Inspirational. Now reforge the shavings and make Ice picks. A thing from the trash of trash. Imagine if this was how the world worked. Thanks J.

Something I really enjoy about your videos is I can always get a sense of the object that you have created. The weight of the thing or the balance, or the feel of it in your hand. I really appreciated the end of this one. The first video I saw of yours years back you cut some steel back in your old NY shop. After you cut it you tapped it on some other steel and it rang. I was very happy to hear that and see that you have still carried on doing things like that. Makes the object real. Thanks man. Great vid.

@xxinsufficiency 4 жыл бұрын

I think if you made the handle and the eye more of an oval cross section (as seen on most hammers, axes etc.), it would be easier to feel for accurate face alignment when striking, and the head would not tend to rotate on the handle. But hey what do I know. If it works, it works

@KravchenkoAudioPerth 4 жыл бұрын

I made a hammer like this when I was 12. Made the same mistake that Jimmy did. The head rotates in use. I still have the hammer head. Two things are missing on his design. The handle will fall off eventually because the hole is not belled on the top side of the hammer head. And the hole is round instead of oval. The quick fix is to cross pin it.
