This time I made something really weird! It's a sledge hammer with a soft brass face but it's connected with two dovetail in a way that is possible only via metal casting.

Shame about the porosity. It's very beautiful. Maybe tap or vibrate the forms when pouring. Very cool.

Black beard. First off as a fellow craftsman and a master sheet metal worker journeyman whatever your background or trade education I have 4 years high school trade shop welding and 5 years of welding and metallurgy trade school with 20 years on job training, and I keep re educating myself and watching your videos with your skill set always amazes me and teaches me along the way.

Might be an option for hammers for use in highly flammable environments (brass doesn't spark like steel does). Looks beautiful, very nicely done!

[@jvmiller1995]

They are not cheap either. I broke a 30 - 32 in brass pipe wrench inside a resin tank on union and just beating it with wrench a brass hammer. Man my boss was not happy when I shown him the upper jaw broken in half.... He said that was a $900 wrench Blah blah blah. I said well you had better add $900 bucks to the bid or this job! Well Bronze It was but same concept... No sparks. But most flammable confined spaces they would want the entire head done. Just to keep a idiot from making the wrong choice of what side to strike with.

[@SashaTheOneAndOnly]

I can't get over that sneeze🤣

[@-Jeremiah-]

I promise I watch because your ideas are amazing and the execution is always beautiful. This dovetail is no exception. But that sneeze was phenomenal. Bless you.

[@morksbeanbag]

My favourite project of yours so far Black Beard! I really like this one. Brass is such a wonderful material and here, against the steel, it's just perfect.

[@steveskeebs3497]

7:56 I’m pretty sure this is what you all wanted

[@MrDhandley]

I’m amazed that the two different metals didn’t cool at different rates and leave a gap. Fantastic work!

[@buckwildebeest398]

it's possible that there's an air pocket inside that didn't reach the edges. I don't think he meant for the metals to bond, but be secured entirely by the 'impossible' double dove-tail. I agree. Fantastic work.

[@malsoonsakit4786]

I couldn't use this as a sledge hammer. It's too beautiful.

[@imwithstupid086]

I would. I'd love to let that brass mushroom out as I use it.

you're right, you couldn't use it as a sledge hammer. Hit anything a bit hard and that brass will turn to mush

[@cameronmiller9418]

we would be failing as men if we didnt, though

[@leonv1553]

Dear Mr B B, gesundheit. Love the finished hammer, actually it looked almost good enough before you started. Beautiful work. We always get a chuckle at your 5 x speed hammering. You work with such sure, confident moves. Is that good editing, or are you as gifted as we think? The only thing that can possibly be added is wood glue on the handle before the head goes on. Seals moisture out, no vibration. If the hammer isn't returning to work, please disregard the fussy glue bit. The two tiny brass wedges at 90° were wickedly cool!

[@DeeDOYonTheTube]

I’ve come to that point where I exclusively come to this channel when I want to watch someone make things with wood and metal, I go to other channels like “yeah it’s cool but it’s not Black Beard 😤” Good stuff mate!

For blades and blacksmithing u should watch Shurap

[@Slash1066]

Very clever idea, when I saw you cut in the angles with a grinder I was thinking how is anything going to dovetail into that? Then I saw the casting idea and it made sense! Awesome

Beautiful piece, as usual. It looks great, and the brass end can be good for when u need a slightly softer hit, just spin to other face.

This is a great idea. I have to make myself one of these when I can.

[@franky-5699]

I just discovered your channel it is really nice, cool the hammer / mallet 0:45 you turn much too fast, in machining it doesn't matter what material you make, it never sparks. -For a tool with carburettor inserts the shavings should never exceed the dark blue (petrol) color for steel: in order it goes from white to yellow, brown, light blue, petrol blue (perfect), then when you turns too quickly, it goes back to pale blue, returns to the metal color but no longer in chrome, after that it's sparks but it's no longer machining but abrasion. -for stainless steel: the shavings must remain white and you must always lubricate (or blow air at worst) if it yellows = lack of lubrication and/or too fast rotation and/or ruined tool. -For one-piece carburettor and HSS tools (small milling cutters or drills) you must always lubricate, for HSS if your chips do not stay white you are burning your tool: lack of lubrication and/or rotation too fast -if you want more information on machining don't hesitate, it's my job

[@siggyincr7447]

While I agree with you for most situations, when machining hardened steel with carbide you will generally produce sparks/glowing chips at any practical speed. There is a good chance that the hammer was heat treated. Yeah, it's not ideal and will damage your inserts fairly quickly but oftentimes it's still a viable option if you can't grind it.

[@franky-5699]

@@siggyincr7447 let's say it's a 50 diameter tool and it's a very very hard material VC=50 so 320rpm. by eye I would say it runs at 1200 rpm, even if the video is at x2 speed it would be 600 rpm, but maybe I'm wrong. in any case in 20 years I have never seen sparks in a workshop except when a tool is or is going to die
