Copper Faced Hammer Serviced Handle Replaced.

[@pbflo6559]

Brass is ZINC and copper, BRONZE is tin and copper.

[@issuma8223]

Unless it's silicon bronze, which has no tin.

[@ScoutCrafter]

You’re absolutely right, I was turning bronze last week to make a bushing and had my white metals mixed up! Thanks!!! 😃👍

[@scroungasworkshop4663]

Nice save Scout. As much as it hurts I think soft face hammers have to be considered as consumables. Most blokes just throw them away when they’re worn down and buy a new one because they either don’t know the heads are replaceable or just can’t be bothered. Cheers Stuart 👍👍

[@highdownmartin]

Another excellent job done. Saving so much of the copper heads really made the “ and we’re calling this project done” reveal pretty special. Nice one

[@JohnDaker_singer]

I never would have thought to press the mushroomed copper back in to place. By doing that, you gave the hammer many, many more years of use. It’s small things like this that make you my absolute favorite KZbinr.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi John- I am always hesitant to use my copper hammer because every tap leaves a scar! I think the guys who use them most have the hammers supplied by the company they work for! LOL Thanks!!!

[@patjohnson3100]

Very nice job on the hammer. You added years of life to it. As a coin collector, I enjoyed your discussion of t the overprint currency. We also did this with postage stamps in US possessions on some occasions. Understanding the backstory on an object really adds context and appreciation. Even though your currency says silver certificate, you won't get silver for it if you turned it in to the feds. You would just get a piece of paper that says federal reserve note. Even after we went off the gold standard if you had silver certificates, the government would redeem them for physical silver. But no more. I'm old enough to remember when real USsilver dollars would sometimes show up in circulation. Your videos are always interesting.

[@cmasson17]

John, you not only find everything interesting, you make everything interesting. I watch for the tool restorations and always learn about something else as well. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge.

[@smitty1952]

I have seen you do some incredible restorations but for some reason this is one of my favorites and like Greg Homestead said, no way would I ever use that hammer again. Beautiful Job!

[@bigmikeh5827]

As an industrial maintenance instructor my students were amazed at how many different hammer were in my tool box. Lead, copper, brass, plastic, sledge, ball pean, hard rubber. A place for all. Great job as usual Devil Dog. Chesty would be proud!

[@ScoutCrafter]

I love using a specific hammer or tool for that matter for a specific job... Makes me feel like I know what I am doing! LOL!!!! =D

[@bigmikeh5827]

ScoutCrafter my mom had a 2dollar bill over stamped with Hawaii. Wonder how they accomplished the stamping?

[@johnfix1]

I really enjoyed the video and the steps you took to restore the hammer. Makes me realize how often I could use a Dake ( If I had one). Just one of many tools on my wish list if I ever get moved into a larger space. For now I will just have to enjoy watching yours.

[@ScoutCrafter]

John there are always different ways to do the same job but I remember when I bought the Dake I was concerned if I would use it enough to justify the cost and space... Now I just like using it because it's fun!!!!!

[@nicholashernandez1494]

That’s a great looking hammer with the copper. I’ve seen lead and brass but not copper. It came out amazing. Great job Scout

[@mojavewanderer7719]

Great video as usual! Just a small correction on the Hawaii note, they recalled and destroyed all the currency in circulation in Hawaii, and replaced it with the Hawaii notes. The regular silver certificates had blue serial numbers and treasury seal, while the Hawaii notes have a brown seal and serial number. Books, coins and tools are my three biggest hobbies I look forward to seeing your videos Every time they come out!

[@tonylenge424]

Did not know the story of that dollar bill, very interesting. The copper is beautiful when polished. Thanks

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Good job on the faces of the hammer. Thought you would use the lathe. But that worked out to show people like me that don't have one. I have a hammer that looks a lot like it but it has plastic tips you can replace. I still look for money that is different. If I find any it goes into my sons collection shoe box. Stay safe and healthy my friend. Thanks

[@joeheilm]

I am always on the lookout for a copper hammer, i just came across an all aluminum hammer. Great stuff. Cheers

[@Russ0107]

I'm loving that new tune you're playing in the videos, John.

[@johnkelley9877]

I always learn something new from you. I did not know about the Hawaii currency. It makes sense but is still something I did not know of until now. The hammer turned out great and I am impressed you were able to save as much copper as you did. Thanks for the great tutorial.

[@highdownmartin]

My first proper tool that I purchased from a proper tool shop , already amassing a good collection of spanners and a kamasa 42 piece socket set,was a THOR rawhide mallet. It was a pretty big one. I still have it.

Nice one Tracy 😂😂😂

[@Resto-Rob]

I don't know who else thinks this but every time you pump the handle it sounds like "Dake" "Dake" "Dake"! Great hammer! How difficult do you think it would have been to remove the copper pucks and mill them on the lath? 👍

[@not2fast4u2c]

I Like that you put Epoxy in the top ..Leaving the sticker on gives it the new old stock look

Nice job on the hammer and running that dollar bill off. Didn't realize you were that talented. And I have a copper hammer but I think it's solid. Someone made it I guess nut I use the plastic dead blow a lot more. Yours looked like it got hold of an Estwing waffle head. Thanks, John CS and GBWYou!

[@civicboomer2135]

I'm surprised you didn't turn the copper faces on the lathe. Sure looks good. Just love color of polished brass, copper, and bronze. I have a couple of those Hawaii bills my Dad brought back. Very cool.

[@ScoutCrafter]

I will tell/show you why on Wednesday! =D

[@lotsatrains]

Great save on that hammer really thought you were going to replace that copper but you didn’t have to after all that’s amazing and really cool Hawaii Bill now your gonna make me start to look for one. Cheers Ken

[@jackthompson2132]

That is a beautiful hammer John. Thank You for sharing

[@majmarkbrown7816]

Back in the 80's I knew a lady that worked at a bank that had a Philippines bill come in to the back that had been used as currency in US circulation at the time for some reason. it was a Japanese issued bill from WW II. She put cash in for the amount the bill had be used for and gave it to me. It was a very cool addition to my money collection.

[@davidcoats1037]

Nice one Scoutcrafter! Interesting about the Hawaiian dollar. I never knew that. Take care 😃👍🏼

[@doylerabjohn3435]

Great job, I had to take a double take. At first I thought it was a lead head with copper inserts. Definitely a great save.

[@ronsbeerreviewstools4361]

Good resto. job, that is a good looking hammer. In place of copper, I have hard plastic ends for the light hammer work.

[@Dardrum]

I been hanging around since 1952 and collected coins/money as a kid, but never knew about the Hawaii dollar bill. Nice job on the hammer, that is the way you pepper a DAKE, OPPPS I mean steak lol

[@bf102010]

John, fantastic job with the hammer.

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

I love a copper faced hammer! Interesting stuff Thanks 👍 👍

[@RobertBosworth]

So much Dake today. Couldn’t be happier. Question: does the soft copper clog up the sanding belt like aluminum does? Thanks for another great video. 😀

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hello Robert! Not as bad as aluminum. Copper is gummy but the belts weren't clogged by it. The buffing wheel turns copper colored fast though! LOL

[@alexstools]

I'm going to make it but boy is that tote a lot of work, for my woodworking skills at least 😂 I'm very curious about what you're going to do. I'm not really a currency collector (okay I admit having one small book), at least I try not to get to many collections on my back. Recently I bought two 1936 Indianhead penny's for my display cabinet, so one Indian head can face forward and the buffalo on the other. I always wanted a 1936 one because it's the birth year of my grandfather and grandmother. Thank you! Have great day!

[@ScoutCrafter]

Alex like you I’m not a serious collector but I do like certain coins. I think I like to collect what I think is cool... 😃👍

[@lotsabirds]

I found a Danco no.1 today at the flea. But the copper heads were loose, I just watched bigvic's video on restoration of the danco no 3. I found the PDF file for Thor opening and pressing tool for replacement heads.

[@captwalker2732]

The Dake saves the day again!😁 Also thought I'd say anyone looking for nice new copper or brass hammers should look at Grace USA. Nice reasonably priced and made in the USA.

[@larrytomlinson2606]

Why did you not use the lathe after the copper mushrooming was pushed back some?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Excellent Question Larry!!! I will address it on Wednesdays video!!! 😃👍

[@tooladdict7463]

Outstanding job on the soft blow John It’s always a good video when there’s three it’s always a good video when there’s three dakes in there😀👍⚒️

[@ironhead65]

Lead is also easier to re-melt, vs copper/brass. Lead is a forever hammer. Just re-cast it over and over.

[@jordansimpson9519]

3D monday aka Triple DAKE Mon. ScoutCrafter giving skool wedgie 😂 Great tutorial on wood handle fit and replacement. DAKE press fit definitely reduces unnecessary shock and vibration in driving both wedges in. Precision grind job on the copper head slugs. Copper does work harden. I've had copper air lines on a semi truck split and crack before. I recently restored a 1980's Snap On brass hammer. Re-fitted head to original handle. Ground out knicks and divots then polish. BLO (boiled linseed oil) the wood handle. I'm pretty certain it's a Grace U.S.A. re-brand.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Larry- I saw them they look awesome!!!!!! Thanks!

[@pinkerbot]

Wow - how did you get hold of a whole box full of hammer wedges?

[@candiearntz4848]

Scout what's the best way to get wood iam out of projects and wood I use the last of my wood to make something you inspire me to make

[@ScoutCrafter]

Candie- Wood has sky-rocketed in price over the last decade! Years ago we used to use Plywood as a cheap alternative but now Ply is thru the roof! A lot of people are recycling wood to use for projects now, I always see furniture thrown out and the drawers often have nice 2x3 ply panels in the bottom. Also if you can find furniture or countertop manufacturers near you I know this sounds crazy but their dumpsters are full of great wood in small and unusual sizes! Also if you visit home centers and lumber yards you can always find some sort of wood that is inexpensive, like wood sold for siding or even dimensional lumber like 2x4's and 2x8's that can be ripped down on a table saw. The old timers were very frugal when it came to using wood. That's why veneering was so popular back then!

[@candiearntz4848]

Thank you

[@InsatiableCuriosity-q9s]

So are your bank notes all the same size? In the U.K. ours are different sizes and different colours to give blind and partially sighted people have a chance of managing their money.

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Sarah Here the bills are all the same size... The visually impaired will fold their money in different ways to determine the denomination of the bill... They did an experiment on KZbin where a guy pretended to be blind and asked for change of a $20 but held out a $100. Don't you know there were a bunch of people who took advantage of him... Shameful... Thanks!

[@lancesimcox6348]

Awesome job, I have a Thor hammer same as yours but the leather end has shrunk a little and moves around, is there anything I can do to rectify this ?

[@ScoutCrafter]

Hi Lance- I believe the Rawhide pucks that fit those hammers are a snug fit when new maybe held in with a dab of hide glue (so British) =D However once they are used a few times I think the puck expands to a secure fit. Rawhide has a tendency to swell on impact. Same with the copper! I guess you have two choices, 1- drip adhesive around the edge to hold it tight or pound it home. The adhesive for that job would be gorilla glue- it swells when it comes in contact with water. So a few drops of water around the puck followed by a few drops of gorilla glue and it should act like a cushioned shim! =D Thanks!
