Rusty Hammer Restoration - Tool Restoration

[@byOldHand]

Hello my dear friends. I am happy to share a new work from my workshop with you. This time our story is about an antique blacksmith hammer, a very beautiful hand tool. As you know, I love the marks of time on antique objects, especially on metal. For this restoration project, I didn't do a high finishing that would spoil the antique look. I even did some work to strengthen this old and craft look. I tempered it in the blacksmith forge and the color turned out great, you will like !! I chose hornbeam wood for the handle. I made a simple, solid and stylish design for my big hands. This form fit very well in the hand. I have done very precise work for both metal and wooden parts. As usual, I decided on the shape of the result during the work and It turned out to be a very nice geometry in the end. I finally listened to the timbre it made on the anvil. I will use this beautiful antique hammer in my nearest blacksmithing project. I am very happy to work and present something to you, I hope you will share this pleasure with me while watching. I also share my Instagram address for craft lovers. It will be a pleasure to see you there. Instagram @byoldhand I would be happy if this video gives you some good time while you drink your coffee. 4K Ultra HD It's great to see you here. Don't forget to like and subscribe if you like it. I would be glad. ps; I love the nature and all the animals and coffee :) I greet you all sincerely. byOldHand

I like using old tools. There is beauty in their age and experience. They know how to work and what to do because they have done it before. This was a beautiful restoration of a neglected tool just patiently waiting to be useful again.

[@robkarnosh117]

As always, your craftsmanship is amazing. But, what caught my eye, this video was your attention to videography. A person in the background as the hammer soaked, who wasn't you. The change of hands and what's being washed. The same person, from before leaving the cherries as a gift. The cherries there for you to snack on as you work. All this on top of the usual top notch recordings of your amazing work. You took your videos to another level with this one.

[@AdmiralFace]

Hello once again my friend, I am very happy to see another beautiful restoration video. The detailed craftsmanship in this one was very good indeed. The bluing really gives the hammer a great restored finish, making the pitting much more pleasing to the eye, and it still looks like an antique. Amazing work! Was it possible to make out the inscription on the top of the hammer; if so, what did it say? I could make out "1917" I think. The nature in your video was also very appreciated; as was the Joyball at 9:12. I very much enjoyed the part with the fresh cherries. It was a very artistic transition with the faucet that adds a lot of value to the video. Keep up the great work, and never lose faith in the strength and quality of these videos, they are breath takingly beautiful. I try my best to share each video with all of my friends, and everybody really loves each and every one of them. I know in time you will someday be very popular, and I will still be here for each one as you grow ever larger. Until next time my friend, great job!
