Making a brass hammer on the wood lathe

[@MrKadvaga]

Classical music and hand crafting. Two of my favorite things.

Lovely job! I've never hand turned brass. I will have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your work!

[@andrewk.3902]

Very nice build, you do beautiful work,. I’ve enjoyed going back thru all of your videos a second time. Keep the videos coming. 👍

[@michellafrance9378]

Wow, quels talents! Je suis très impressionné par la qualité des vidéos et de votre travail !

[@rhocass]

This is insane and I love it~

[@Devon.Martin]

Great videos 👍

[@jodydavis161]

what is the Dia of the brass you used 2" or 1"

[@robertwilson773]

Beautiful

[@michelpicard5191]

Beau travail. De plus la vidéo est très bien réalisée.

Michel Picard merci!

Nice job! You inspired me to make some aluminium tool handles! With a gouge and a skew chisel you can really shape the piece easier than using a metal lathe! How would you shape on that? Probably using a custom made pattern the cutter would follow🤔 many thanks

Sorry, I don't understand the question

I realize I am kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream new movies online ?

I see you use a saw on the lathe here, and I know it's done in woodworking, but I never see it done in metalworking: is it a matter of chip buildup, or wrong speeds?

The pairing operation is one of the more demanding ones so I often saw and and not use a pairing tool. Sawing also let's me keep the rpm lower which can feel more safe, mostly before I had my safety gaurd. Check out my newer video on turning brass on the wood lathe, my technics have changed a lot

[@dolfinmagikpro]

Awesome work! Just curious ... what kind of turning chisels were you using to turn the brass? HSS? Carbide?

It’s just a cheap chisel. So carbon steel I would assume? Probably not hss. And not a good carbon steel either aha. The most important part is the geometry of the chisel. It’s basically the same type of geometry that machinist use. Im thinking of buying long hss blanks but I don’t have a welder so they need to be like, 10” so I’ll see if I can find that.

[@alecjamgotchian5802]

@ I know this is late, but you can hold a piece of HSS in a tube using set screws so you don't need a huge piece. Look at Rex Krueger's bowl gouge video

[@mururoa7024]

You're making it look easier than it is. 😉

[@reinierweerts6923]

Nice job, the fast forward noise is horrible though.

Yes I agree, this was one of my earlier videos

[@markhedquist9597]

And that's how you make a hammer!

Sie kommen aus Frankreich oder Quebec?

cylindrical eye profiles are not safe maybe cross pinning is an easy solution, but oblong and reverse tapered are safe, why? otherwise it will spin and eventually it will fly off and hit you in the head., 8 out of 10 YT creators don't get this right!

This is an old video, my newer hammers have a taper and something that stops the spinning. Then again, at this size a head flying off is frustrating more than it is dangerous
