1930's Refractory Hammer ~ RESTORATION with an ANTIQUE PATINA

[@juanitafelix8450]

You are a breathe of fresh air, the other tubers are just copying each other. You are not only an original,but are a master of the art. My favorite part is when you file everything to smoothness. Thank you so much!

[@johngrace199]

Thank you for doing this project which gave me an idea. My brother is a hind end machinist while I'm a woodturner. I found one of these on e-bay and stripped it down, removed all the rust, and repainted the casting in a Rustoleum 'hammered' spray paint finish. Instead of the wrapped leather facings, however, I turned two separate faces for 'my' version. One face from a piece of spalted maple and the other from an extremely hard wood called lignum vitae. I also turned a new handle from a piece of hickory. I finished all the wood in a tung oil finish and then gave it to my brother for his birthday. I thought it came out pretty well and he tells me it's a topic of conversation for anyone who visits his office. Again...thanks for the idea.

[@joeziegler9054]

I found one of these hammers too! In a machine shop I work in. Fortunately my handle was still good. I bead blasted the entire hammer and turned down some copper for the faces in my hammer. It turned out really nice! I use it quite often now working on dies. Thanks for sharing!

[@jake.r8843]

Nice

[@jamesbrooks2132]

I don't know how else to describe that hammer other than "sexy". In the past 30 minutes I have developed deep feelings for that multi-mallet. Fantastic work!

[@catgynt9148]

I’ve never seen a hammer with infrastructure. Terrific restoration. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@davidholder3207]

I like your work son. Keep it going. Gives me back faith in our future that their are adults such as yourself who can exist without needing a mobile phone in their ear or hands whilst bein awake.

[@Greekman72]

YOU made it durable, you made it modular, you made it strong, you made it beautiful, you made it better than it was after factory! And all of these with the minimum possible use of power tools!!! I love it!!! Thanks for the treat! It will be a long life smasher and not only for fruits😉

[@J-B876]

I came for the hammer restoration (which was awesome!) but rewound the dog scenes the most. Good looking pack.

[@TheGilberto50]

Real nice. Wish I had a talent like that.

[@terryrogers1025]

That sir is a most excellent job of refurbishing a tool I have witnessed for some time and I have seen some really good ones. I like how you honored the tools history with the finish. Thanks for the video.

[@podocrypto6072]

Nice! Love the Weimaraners, especially the dark ones!

[@tracywallace7414]

Your babies remind me of my beautiful black lab from back in the late 70's...his name was Bisco and I miss him dearly...I've never seen this type of hammer before...your renovation gives new meaning to the old saying that one man's trash is another man's treasure...Great Job👍🏽

[@davidrobinson7667]

Intense attention to detail. Impressive and way cool !

[@donniebrown2896]

The hammer brought back some memories. I worked In a foundry and we did use these. Only when we re-lined the furnace or built a roof for it. The brick had to be in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. It would take two weeks to re-line the furnace and close to a week to build a roof.

[@mitchpickett2576]

A+ job. Looks great and functionality up by 400%. Nice

[@petermconnolly]

Love your dogs! I love having my 12 year old Yellow Lab, Franklin, hanging out near my workbench. Don't tell anyone, but they're so much nicer than people! Thanks for sharing!

[@MrHowieZ1973]

I have two of these hammers. They come with a longer original handle. I replace the heads with dog bone rawhide I soak in water for a couple of days to soften it up. Works great. If you boil one of the bones, you get hide glue to glue it all together with.

[@shedmanx3640]

Outstanding job mate. I’ve never seen that copper patina technique before. Very interesting. Loved the way you finished the hammer, giving a nod to its age and the life it has had. I’ve also never seen so many spare handles anyone has collected before. They would come in very handy. Again, great work mate. Hope to see many more of this caliber. 🇦🇺👍

[@hannable3871]

That finish is to die for great job

[@markharrisllb]

I don't know as much as other folk in the comments but I really enjoyed the video and thought you did a great of resurrecting another old tool.

[@restaurandocoisasvelhas]

It is perfect. You are the best. Greetings from Brazil.

[@morishidol4209]

Beautiful.

[@jackbozarth4013]

Love your workmanship. What a piece of art.

[@texas060]

The more you did the better it got. Hard to find things made in the USA now day. American made stays Awesome in my book. Thank you for Sharing your Passion. Stay safe.

[@michaelwalling8281]

very envious of your hammer. Excellent selection of patinas and such. Very attractive tool. I use my leather mallet almost every day. One of my most useful tools.

[@dannysapp5559]

i thought i was the only person that would restore a basa #3 you did a much better job than i keep up the great work your the man !

[@nt.-works6636]

I LOVE the small Anvil!

[@A-bomb-1984]

That was one bad ass restoration. Thanks for sharing.

[@tbaxter1979]

@20:43 - This tip alone made watching the video worth it! 👍

[@HeadtoTailBBQCooking]

That copper coating stuff is pretty neat. I really liked the finish it gave.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Ya I enjoy using those metal patinas, lots can be done with them! If you want to see more of what can be done, checkout the company that makes them: Sculpt Nouveau, they have a KZbin channel and website!

[@churlepatakha]

Awesome, you're an artist!

[@toteguy]

Great restoration I enjoy watching your videos so entertaining and educational

[@richardpalmer6196]

Beautiful restoration of the original "deadblow" hammer , and unlike today's plastic junk it's rebuildable . The addition of multipurpose heads is genius.

[@SalvageWorkshop]

Thank you Richard! I truly appreciate that!

[@DJ.B930]

Wow such a beautiful patina, you really did it justice. And I love the interchangeable face plates of different materials. Great job man

[@neil6212]

This is faux patina! Ruins restoration, making it instead an art work. Love the dogs!

[@Mad-Duk_Machine_Werkes]

SO cool- Just bought a Number 3 and a Number 4 of these same hammers from eBay after watching this!

[@SalvageWorkshop]

You won't regret it!

[@tomeyssen9674]

That us one beautiful split head. One of the finest mallets one can have.

[@gabrielemagnabosco8926]

I was not ready for how beautiful that copper looked. Those threaded insert make that hammer super extensible, you could make your own faces out of everything castable. Amazing job.

[@roberthansford2877]

[@cg6522]

Beautiful job ! Don't wait so much time between 2 vids. I miss your nice jobs !

That is a really cool finish to that hammer👍🏻

[@paulorchard7960]

I like that hammer, like it a lot and have never seen one like it! I need a rawhide mallet and like that one so much I think I could make one very similar, thanks for that, I will watch again and again looking at the construction!

[@huarwe1196]

Well that was as exciting a watching someone restore an old hammer gets. Nice dogs.

[@michaelalan1546]

Fantastic work! Really enjoyed it.
