Rusty Old Hammer Restoration - New Wooden Handle

I found this old hammer head and decided to give it a face lift and a new handle. This had previously been on a fibreglass handle that my builder brother had snapped, its been sitting out behind the shed for a few years now and had become quite rusty. After polishing the head I made a new handle from Ash.

I really like how you used wood wedges to secure the hammer head ...I do not use metal wedges unless I have to or maybe use them on a big sledge hammer or splitting maul

[@giuseppesantandrea1751]

Un artista. Grande manualità e precisione nei dettagli. Personalmente non lo useri più come martello. Si potrebbe utilizzare come soprammobile e sicuramente farebbe una bella figura.

[@anthonyfeatherstone7696]

@@RikkiTheRose Poppycock! I saw the movies. That looks just like the movie prop but tiny without the squiggly lines on the side. And the leather strap..... And Chris Hemmsworth (Thor) at the other end... So I quess with IMAGINATION it looks like it. But LITERALLY you are probably correct.

I have, and still use, that exact hammer. From an old railroader. The steel is super hard and will chip with hard use.

[@RikkiTheRose]

Very nice job i like it.

[@snap-off5383]

Handle install very clean. Golf Clap. Might need a bit more dome on ends to keep non-perfect strikes from making eyebrows or in this case squarebrows in the struck material. I'm sure there are smiths who strike so clean and consistent they can rock a hammer like that.

[@deangoodman2863]

Great job, David. I noticed you used the oil on both handle and head. What kind of oil is that? Thanks

[@gurwindersran7157]

Nice Video g

[@frankcrawford416]

Nice job! I am wondering why some handles have a step where the head rested and some have a ever expanding taper. I just put a hickory handle on my sledge hammer and it had the taper. I am a little worried I did not quite get the head to rest on the widest part of that shoulder. Even though tight even before inserting the wedges I should have sanded the end of the handle I think. What do you think go or no go on the handle?

[@abdel-hadikaddourn2bricola725]

MAESTRO BUEN TRABAJO CON EL MARTILLO

[@bruceg1845]

I have one just like this I've used for years to split wood (hitting a wedge). the steel is very brittle and the hammer face will chip off sometimes

[@iolithblue]

Take the handle off and put it in the oven, temper it back a bit

[@jim-zb2kb]

I know that this is late but dont do what he said. The hammer head is likely already heat treated properly but it is just been mushroomed over and work hardened so you'll have to grind those bits off

[@davidhart5426]

[@hdryder1568]

What type of wood was used for the handle. I've got around 6 or 7 old hammer heads that I've been wanting to clean up and put handles on. Naturally lowes, home depot and northern tools dont sell handles anymore. I assume they want you to buy a new hammer. But funk that I want my old ones working again. Just not sure what type of wood will best the strongest. Thanks in advance if you'll reply!

[@DavidParker]

C A I used Ash, which seems to be quite common, but hickory makes a good handle too apparently!

[@hdryder1568]

@@DavidParker good deal thanks! Yea I know hickory is common with hammer handles. I could tell it wasnt hickory that you used by the grain. Once you oiled it. I think I'll give ashwood a try. You did a hell of a job to thats a beautiful hammer. I'm a newbie at blacksmithing and I'm acquiring all the tools gradually. That would be a hell of a flattening hammer you got there! 👍

[@peteb2]

Why not a better choice of wood for the handle? Something that yells hard work. Looks a bit long in proportion to the steel head or is this now a purely decorative item? Just wondering with all that work you put into it one day you might need to give something a good whack or clobber and a shorter, thicker stouter handle would let that tool run as a fantastic club-hammer it’s meant to be.

[@damionlowther78]

There aren't many better options than ash and a longer handle allows for a harder strike with less energy.

tinny blacksmith because this hammer head was made for a fibreglass handle the hole tapers in both directions, so yes this is not a traditional hammer fit but it works for this particular head.

[@tinnyblacksmith3434]

@@DavidParker yes that is called an hour Glass eye I was tough to make one pre cut going parallel to the head and just above bottom of the head than use a wood wedge along with a steel wedge across altho your way makes sense as well
