The Classy Brassy Challenge, from Uwannawatch

[@michaellindsay8934]

Looks great, especially leaving the old ware marks. Everyone loves brass tools.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. Yes, brass is always eye-catching. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great week.

[@wrwest7705]

That brass hammer turned out really nice.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. It was a fun project and I was happy with the outcome. Thanks so much for your visit me come back again soon. Have a great weekend.

[@larrynelson734]

Great job on that brass hammer. Really looks super. 👍👍❤...

[@toolscouter]

Thank you Larry. I appreciate you stopping by and hope you have a great weekend.

[@mikebrunosgarage5338]

Looks absolutely wonderful! I've been looking in my stuff and really don't have anything for the challenge but I'm not going to give up yet😅 Thanks for sharing your entry with us.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. Keep hunting. I’m sure there’s something somewhere down in the bottom of some bucket or on the back of some shelf. Thanks for your visit and hope you have a great weekend. Good luck finding an entry.

[@Uwannawatch]

WOW! That came out fantastic! I truly appreciate the way you converted the handle. Thank you for joining in!

[@toolscouter]

Thank you for the challenge and hope you have a great weekend.

[@jeffryrichardson9105]

Great job!👍🏽😊❤️🇺🇸

[@toolscouter]

Thank you very much. Always great to have you stop by for a visit. I have tried several times to let you know that you won the breast Drew. If you will email me at [e-mail] and give me your address, I’ll send it to you. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a great weekend.

[@oldguyknots]

Very nice restore. You're making me want to try changing a handle to octagonal just to see how it feels. I have a few heads that need handles so may one of those in the upcoming months may fit the bill.

[@toolscouter]

In my opinion, they are the best! For me, the creases in your knuckles on the inside of your hand, find the facets quickly. The orientation of the tool in your hand is quickly acquired, and it doesn’t slip or oscillate from side to side. Do give it a try. You may find out that I am making something complicated that should be simple.😄 Let me know how it goes. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend.

[@oldguyknots]

I'm thinking you're right. I recently started taking some blacksmithing classes and in the summer my hand sweats, A LOT. I was thinking exactly what you said, that the octagonal handle would help me have a better grip. I'll let you know.

[@toolscouter]

Good luck and have fun

[@ivanstiles7030]

Nicely done! The octagonal handle looks vintage on the old brass hammer.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. There’s something about that shape of handle that just appeals to me. Thanks for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@ivanstiles7030]

@toolscouter i have quite a few octagonal handles also. I've always liked them. My dad and grandfather both had octagonal handle hammers when i was a kid. Maybe it's just the memory of them that makes them appealing to me

[@donscottvansandt4139]

It's a beauty ! Love that handle. Very useful. I still haven't gotten one of those rasp . I'm envious every time I watch you use it! Lol

[@toolscouter]

😄 Maybe one day you’ll get around to it. I do recommend them thanks for your visit. Have a great weekend.

[@beachcomer007]

nice job you are very good at handles!!!!

[@toolscouter]

Thanks for watching, I’m glad you liked it. Always great to have you come by for a visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@westhighlandsshop]

Great hammer! You did a fantastic job on the head and handle. Working on my entry today!

[@toolscouter]

I look forward to seeing it. Thanks for coming by the shop for a visit and hope you have a great week.

[@rollerbald]

That looks great! Nicely done.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. It was a lot of fun and I was happy with the outcome. Thanks for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@357magdad]

Very classy! I like the octangonal handle!

[@toolscouter]

Hello, great to have you stop by for a visit. Will you be submitting a piece of classy brass? Hope you have a great weekend.

[@357magdad]

@@toolscouter Chuck and I are gonna work on some brass this weekend!

[@drivesalot0063]

Excellent work! It really came out nice. Great job on the handle. 😉👍

[@toolscouter]

Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts. Glad you liked it. I hope you have a great weekend.

[@MattsGarage1791]

Now that's just a good lookin' hammer! 👍

[@toolscouter]

Thank you for your very kind words. It was a lot of fun to do and I was happy with the way it turned out. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend.

[@bigfootscave445]

Very clean, came out great

[@toolscouter]

Thank you, it was a lot of fun to Clean up. Thanks so much for visiting me here in the shop. Hope you have a great weekend.

[@Kirt-Davis]

Always nice to have a brass mallet around!

[@toolscouter]

You bet. This one turned out to be quite nice. Thank you so much for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@merlinsatrom6678]

I like how you peened back the mushrooming vs just grinding it off. I have a very mushroomed brass hammer to submit as well and will use that technique to minimize “brass loss”! Very nice handle shape - looks like it would nestle right down into the palm of your hand. Great video and I look forward to seeing all of the Uwannawatch submissions!

[@toolscouter]

That sounds great. I look forward to seeing what you come up with and I’m anticipating all the submissions as well. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend.

[@Robert-Renewing]

I'm a big fan of, Tool Art! 😊

[@toolscouter]

Good deal. It is a lot of fun and tool art can come in so many forms. Sometimes I just look at a tool and think of it as a piece of art. Thanks so much for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@Reggyontheroad]

Fantastic job looking lovely👍👍🔩🔩

[@toolscouter]

Thank you very much. I appreciate you stopping by and sharing. Have a great week.

Hey !Bonjour vraiment du très beau travail, ce marteau en laiton est superbe. Après avoir enlevé les bordures et polie les deux faces, laisser le corps dans l'état permet de ne pas ôté trop de matière. Le manche aussi est superbe en octogone, mais là il n'y avait pas trop de soucis, vu la perfection avec laquelle vous les faites. ❤

[@toolscouter]

I appreciate your very kind words. It’s a lot of fun to play around with these tools and thank you for giving me your time to share it with you. I’m always glad for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@91Z50]

Very nice, very useful

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. They do come in handy at times. Thanks for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@nickprague1481]

Character, what some call patina. Another nice job.

[@toolscouter]

However, you wanna describe it is fine with me😄. Thanks for your visit and have a great weekend

[@sergiolafuenterojas]

Very, very gooooood job, great idea of the marks, this speaks about the past life of the tool, marks of past works, marks of war, from South American Country of Chile, Sergio La Fuente Rojas, third generation owners Hardware Store in my Country, LONG LIFE OLD SCHOOL TOOLS, that's a gingle.

[@toolscouter]

Bienvenido amigo! I’m very glad to have you stop by the shop for a visit. I always enjoy hearing from people all around the world. Sounds like you have a great deal of experience in the tool business and recognize good ones. Thanks so much for stopping by, que tenga una buena fin de semana, bendiciones!

[@sergiolafuenterojas]

@toolscouter Thanks you, Mr @toolscouter, very good words in spanish, good weekend for you and I wait your new videos and adventures, and please remember:LONG LIFE OLD SCHOOL TOOLS

[@kendalllucy5499]

Very good work

[@toolscouter]

Thank you. Come by again soon and have a great weekend.

[@beerdrinker6452]

Very nice video.

[@toolscouter]

Thank you sir. As always it’s wonderful to have you stop by for a visit. Do have yourself a great weekend?

[@checkthistool]

👍 New subscriber. You did a very nice job. Loved the video!

[@toolscouter]

Welcome to the channel. I hope you feel free to come visit anytime and check out some of the other videos. Thanks again for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.

[@paulhunt598]

My favorite brass hammer is a Snap-On deadblow. I don't think that the faces were intended to becremoved or replaced. They are still in fine condition, but as a mechanics hammer, the handle and head are dirty. Is scrubbing the plastic part clean, acceptable as a brass hammer challenge entry. After I purchased mine, I found that it was an ideal steel punch driver. Using it gains deadblow function, and the soft faces don't mar or mushroom my high-end punches and chisels. I have a well-worn copper faced hammer that I value for driving the drawbar on my mill. It is very ugly, though still very functional for this purpose. It warrants a serious makeover, but I don't have tome niw to enter George's brass hammer challenge!

[@toolscouter]

Sounds like you have a good quality collection of tools. I don’t know if a plastic wrapped snap on brass hammer qualifies or not? You would have to ask Uwannawatch. It sure would be a little more unconventional, but who knows. Thanks for watching a video and sharing your ideas. Have a great weekend.

[@rawbacon]

Looks like the wedge was made to be non-sparkling also.

[@toolscouter]

You may very well be right. I hadn’t thought of that. Thanks so much for sharing and have a great weekend.

[@ScoutCrafter]

😃👍

[@toolscouter]

Thanks for coming by the shop and have a great weekend

[@truthreigns7]

nice looking hammer. I would go to the uwannawatch channel, but the image on his channel icon looks like he or a person is drinking an alcoholic drink, which i am against. I Thessalonians 5:21 - 22 21 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. "

[@toolscouter]

If that’s your conviction, I completely understand and would not want you to do anything that would go against your principles. Personally, I don’t want to burn bridges where God may lead. I am always convicted when I read about Him eating with the tax collectors. I want to have an influence to speaking into other peoples lives as often as I can. I don’t always have to condone or participate, nor do I look for opportunities to do so. I do care that everyone bears the image of God, and is worthy of my time. I so appreciate your spirit and thank you for sharing. Have a great weekend and may God bless you richly.

[@truthreigns7]

@@toolscouter i thank you for the refreshing of my memory of God's Word and how our Lord Jesus Christ did go where some would not in order to spread the Gospel. I do not want to be called a hypocrite or a pharisee, so now i will go and check out his channel. Thank you

[@toolscouter]

Please understand I’m not trying to persuade or coerce anybody to do anything that they don’t want to. I appreciate you willing to freely, discuss ideas and being open to understanding things differently. Continue to be strong in the faith and God bless.

[@truthreigns7]

@@toolscouter Oh i never took it as you trying to persuade or coerce me at all. I feel it was convicti0on of the Holy Spirit, and His reminding me of what Jesus Christ did on this earth, and my desire to be like Him. Yes, i do appropriate openness and discussion. It is a blessing to speak to another born again Christian. God bless you and your family

[@scottneufeld6532]

It came out great! I was nervous when you were working that cross pien hammer with your thumb so close. We’ve all been there…🫣

[@toolscouter]

😄 yes, sometimes I wonder why I treat my left thumb like a sacrificial piece. When I hit it, it’s definitely not, Although there is a sacrifice. Thanks so much for your visit and hope you have a great weekend.
