Limited run Brass Hammer paskmakes.com/the-pask-makes-brass-hammer/ I always enjoy making tools and I reckon this one came out awesome. It was an interesting project from designing it to working out how to make it. I also figured what I did wrong on the etching. Even though I know better I forgot to etch in a plastic container inside of a pan of water, I reckon this caused a galvanic reaction.

A few drops of ferric chloride on a piece of sponge works really well for easily and controllably etching copper (and presumably brass). It should take a few minutes of light dabbing/rubbing at room temperature. I've used both ammonium persulphate and ferric chloride for etching PCBs, with the latter being much faster, better and easier to use.

Nope, you’re not allowed to say that. No patting yourself on the back. Arms weren’t designed to flex that direction. Patting back is the job of your audience. Please don’t take our jobs, thank you very kindly. Now, Bravo! Amazing work! By the way, handles in your wood of choice would be much more premium here in North America, where hickory handles are as common as sin.

I actually like the pitting in the logo. If you hadn't said otherwise, I would have thought it was deliberate. If you don't like it, you could always do a paint fill with enamel. It would level right out, and really make the logo pop.

To get the lathe turning to be less grabby with brass: lower your flat top (which is normal to the surface if at the correct z-height for facing, which gives it zero rake) HSS tool in your tool post so you make your tool have effective "negative" rake (ie not normal to the contact point)

Cutting wide grooves: It helps if you move the form tool slightly left-right while cutting, so you are not cutting with the whole diameter at once. Makes the groove a bit wider and the radius at the end is not really a radius anymore, but in this case i don´t see a need for precision... Another beautyful project👍

A tip for brass, it work hardens so you want to take off quite a lot at a time. If you cut too shallow the tool just pushes the brass out of the way and hardens it, turning it brittle and ruining surface finish.

@threeriversforge1997 Жыл бұрын

Looks fantastic. If anything, a dab of Cold Blue in the lettering will just speed up the patination process and give the logo more of a black color that stands out from the rest of the brass. I love how the pitting looks, honestly. It really looks like something that was made in the early 1900s.

The pitting in the etched logo is kinda fabulous, it resembles the texture of the metal left underneath a peice of shattered enamel. Perhaps a formula of enamel exists that won't shatter when using the hammer, like that fake enamel, you could experiment (when the time comes to replace the handle) by inlaying some enamel in the same colour as your channel logo into the etched logo.
