A New Point on an Old Chipping Hammer | machining, Welding

This video features the renovation of an old chipping hammer conversion. The original purpose of the hammer was not clear, but it was repurposed as a chipping hammer. The original conversion was done with a grinder, but to be effective the point or pick end needed to be longer and more pointed. The hammer also needed a better handle. The video shows the machining of a new pick end for the hammer, the setting up and machining of the head to enable the pick to be accurately welded in place and finally the heat treatment.
