Another Machinists Hammer

[@MachiningwithJoe]

What do you think to Damascus steel tools?

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

The Damascus steel does indeed give a very striking look. 👏👏👍😀

Hey Joe, must have missed this upload last week. Great to see you back, I was wondering where you had been. Really like seeing your work on the new big lathe. Love the finish on the copper, one only machined it one or twice and it stinks to machine. Can't wait to see your next project, cheers

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Hey dude yeah it’s nice being in the shop and getting on with projects. Life is settling down again now so hopefully be seeing more consistent regular uploads again. All the best.

Well done Joe, interesting mix of materials there mate. Cheers, Jon

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Jon, was interesting machining an array of materials for a change.

Good to see you back today. Nice project and you ended up with a good looking hammer.

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Gerald I have to say I was happy with the finished product.

[@topstar3]

Well done Joe! Fantastic little project!

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Nick I’m pleased with how it turned out.

[@GlennNowOnYouTube]

You did a great job on both the machining of the different types of materials and the making of the video. Very professional, thanks for sharing.

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Glenn glad you enjoyed and thanks for the positive comments 👍 all the best.

Nice work Joe, that damascus stock is very striking (pun), cheers!

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Howder the metal is very striking 😂 isn’t it. Machines surprising nice too.

[@barryhughes1612]

Well made and informative.

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Barry glad you enjoyed.

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Fabulous work Joe. Excellent design and build. Very interesting and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing. 👏👏👍😀

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Andrew glad you enjoyed.

[@modellingmark]

Very nice, and the voice-overs work well. Watch the copper face as copper can work harden and mark you piece. I prefer aluminium, but each to their own. It’s a very striking hammer!

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Mark glad you enjoyed and the joy of this type of hammer it’s easy to change the ends so it might be I make a aluminium face and swap with copper for some materials.

Still a nice job brother 😊

The Mjölnir of machinist hammers 🫡👏

[@MachiningwithJoe]

You know it buddy.

[@makingshiz7502]

Amazing love the thumbnail 😂

[@mattdodds2954]

Great work buddy

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks Matt

[@ianhumphrey7218]

Nice hammer, can I suggest putting a 10 degree bevel on the hammer heads across maybe 1/3rd of the diameter?

[@MachiningwithJoe]

That’s not a bad idea Ian. I can always do that on some different end where I can swap them out easily.

[@taranson3057]

I’m sold…I want to make a machinist hammer from Damascus steel and interchangeable ends. Very cool project. When are you going to finish the little steam engine that you started a while back?

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Thanks TA Ranson, I still have to get back into the steam engine product. I’m thinking if I get enough interest of doing a mid week live video where I will complete it on there.

[@taranson3057]

@@MachiningwithJoe I have been waiting patiently for it to be completed, I can’t wait to see it finished. Steam engines are rather cool 😎

[@georgeclements2742]

Looks like a nice tool to last a lifetime with replacement heads as needed. Have you worked out how much the materials cost ? Have a good safe trip to Denmark - pity it's for work and not pleasure.

[@MachiningwithJoe]

Hi George I haven’t exactly worked it out but I estimate about £70 for this build.

[@michaelw1669]

Why did you do that to to the to your umbrella what kind of monster are you?

[@MachiningwithJoe]

??? 🤔
