Junk Drawer Hammer

[@ScoutCrafter]

Nicely done Ben, the handle you made looks like it is very comfortable. Fun project!

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks John!

[@larrydemaar409]

You did such a nice job on that hammer, you upgraded your junk drawer.

[@mrbenmall]

Yes! Thanks Larry!

[@357magdad]

The hammer handle came out awesome! It's great when Learning Stuff happens!

[@mrbenmall]

It is indeed. Thanks Magdad.

[@MrDoeboy356]

Nice

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Cliff!

[@setdown2]

Very nice...like seeing you tackle new stuffff...🖖

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Chuck!

[@Bigalhunting]

Nice work again! Handy Dandy Hammer now.

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Al!

[@billmccabe9601]

That turned out as a sweet hammer. It would be great for building miniature items, like Doll Houses, small boxes, Model Train buildings/structures....MAYBE even the spaceship toolbox?

[@mrbenmall]

It's on my inside workbench as we speak. Thanks Bill!

[@stanellis7805]

Great job Ben! Handle finish is perfect but midway I guessed you were going to do a Magdad Bombay. Thanks sir.

[@mrbenmall]

I haven't bought any of the Bombay Mahogany yet. I bought this gel stain and have been quite pleased with its ease of application. The PolyShades appears to be more difficult to apply. I will eventually give it a shot. Thanks Stan!

[@jackcollins2344]

Job well done!!! Thanks for sharing video

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks for watching, Jack!

[@jamesretired5979]

looks good Ben.

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you James!

[@rawbacon]

You made it look easy, getting those two deep holes just right would probably take me ten tries and ten pieces of wood.

[@mrbenmall]

That was the part I was most worried about. Thanks RB.

[@beachcomer007]

neat job Ben

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Beachcomer

[@Rusty_ok]

Turned out great. Those small hammers are perfect for some jobs. Keep it handy and you will use it more often then your bigger hammers.

[@mrbenmall]

I will! Thanks Rusty Guy!

[@wadel6]

What can I say? Another great video!!! Thanks Ben!

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you Wade!

[@stephenkent8903]

Ben that hammer came out great! The handle is a big improvement to that rubber handle ever was!

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Stephen!

[@paintnamer6403]

That is the kind of unique handle it needed. Good job!

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you Paintnamer!

[@paulhurst4239]

Nicely done. Those small 8 or 10 ounce hammers sometimes come in handy with brads and tiny nails. Good to have one in the shop.

[@mrbenmall]

Yes they often do the trick. Thanks Paul!

[@joeheilm]

Very cool! That belt sander really did a number on removing the extra material...wow. Excellent work! Cheers

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Joe!

[@merlinsatrom6678]

Great mod Ben - putting a wood handle on it! Love your music!

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Merlin!

[@larrymills8527]

Good job Ben the way you came up with a way to make a new handle it came out nice

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you Larry!

Great job a lot better than it was new 👍

Thanks Greg!

Good job Ben!

[@glengrossnickle4985]

Wow I like it . Very good job. You turned a hammer that would normally go to the bottom of the tool box to top shelf. Thanks

Thanks Glen!

Man that hammer has had a rough life. Nice work in restoring functionality Ben.

[@mrbenmall]

I think so. Thanks Michael!

[@jackthompson2132]

Awesome job Ben!!!!! I really enjoyed the video and what you did with the hammer. Bravo 👏🏻 Thank You for sharing!

[@mrbenmall]

Thank you Jack!

[@chukzombi]

looks fantastic, for a moment i thought you were going to shorten the handle by an inch or two. i must be watching too many scoutcrafter videos. 😀

[@mrbenmall]

LOL. Not this one. Thanks Chkzombi

[@davidcoats1037]

Very nicely done Ben! Bonus: stuff learning! 😃👍🏼

[@mrbenmall]

Exactly. Thanks David!

[@grahamcameron7628]

I though you lost it at one point with the epoxy messing up the open end of the handle. But I was happy to see the finished product turned out great!

[@mrbenmall]

Yeah, that epoxy is hard to figure (qty & viscosity). Thanks Graham!

[@troon5488]

What a resurrection! The type of tool no-one would be inclined to bring back to life is now back in service, and looking better than when it was new.

[@mrbenmall]

Thanks Troon54!

[@robertlevine2152]

Ben, Nice job! Didn't you restore a spoke shave not too lon ago! This would have been a perfect project for a spoken shave or a draw knife. Bob

[@mrbenmall]

I did... but I didn't find a true blade for it. I'm afraid it wouldn't have worked. Thanks Bob!

[@frankg3072]

Great job Ben. The handle came out very nice.

Three? Thank you Chuck!

[@EVILDR235]

@@mrbenmall It would have been four, but I hit my thumb with a hammer.

That seemed like a fun project Ben, so glad that you were pleased with the result, as you should be, that gel stain made all the difference ! I'm all too familiar with that oops, something smells of burning moment, some wood just demands more care and respect ! Cheers, AndyC.

[@mrbenmall]

You got that right, Andy. I'm so used to working with pine 2x4s, the oak is a whole different beast. Thanks!

[@91Z50]

Turned out great Ben! Maybe you should mass produce them?

[@mrbenmall]

Never! Oh man that would be a lot of work. Thanks Jeff!

[@rudysimms8162]

It's not a junk tool now. Really good project, enjoy your channel .

Ben this came out brilliant , that stain is sooo hard to predict how it'll finish , but love the way it came out !

I've used that gel stain twice now. So far, I love the results. Thanks Jim!

[@wingnutsworkshop]

Nice work! Hammer turned out great! Those are some intense drill bits. They should be pretty handy.

[@johngehris9513]

The hammer looks great. Maybe you could drill a couple holes and add some brass pins for mechanical support. Great job though.

[@mrbenmall]

That would be a good idea. Especially if the hammer saw much use. Thanks John!

[@ProvinceOfPosen]

Hey Ben, I’ve seen you use your belt sander on a few projects now. In a future video can you show how you get it mounted upside down to use? It is a great idea and would like to do something similar with mine. Thanks

[@mrbenmall]

Unfortunately, the sander I purchase is no longer available on Amazon. It was called "TACKLIFE Belt Sander 3×18-Inch" and it was designed to use either way. The top is flat and it came with two clamps so you can affix it to a bench as I did. I specifically bought that one because of that feature. I don't know what to tell you other than good luck. I hope you can find something similar. THanks!

[@Resto-Rob]

Ben, I am thinking you are being to becoming a wood worker. Looks fantastic!

[@mrbenmall]

I do like how wood whittles down much faster than metal!

[@PaPawsWorkShop]

Man, I was kinda hope’n that hammer was a little bent and we could see every body’s favorite, the”Fake” in action😁

[@mrbenmall]

It'll be coming up. I have an odd thing I'm going to work on next and the Fake will be in service. Thanks PaPaw!
