The carbon fiber hammer is what some people would call the "apprentice hammer" can't do a lot of damage, takes forever to get things done, and needs someone else to help fix their mistakes.

[@OfficiallySnek]

Still not the best carbon fiber skill, but you are getting somewhere now. You should try to make a light handle out of carbon fiber but have a very heavy head, this should make the hammer most efficient.

[@natalieisagirlnow]

where are your perfect carbon fiber skill videos?

[@nathanstautzenberger8381]

a hammer with a carbon fiber handle and a tungsten head would be cool, except for the price

[@josephina6969]

@@nathanstautzenberger8381 maybe tungsten carbide

[@OfficiallySnek]

I was a little hesitant on saying tungsten carbide because I'm afraid that it could shatter, and that would not be a fun time

[@OfficiallySnek]

@@natalieisagirlnow I'm just saying that most have better success even on their first tries. I would suggest that they make a mold so that they could squeeze the carbon fiber parts. A 3D printer might be a good investment for these carbon fiber projects, especially when they are wasting hundreds of dollars already.

[@PatrickAdairDesigns]

I’d be interested in seeing a second attempt where you leave more metal in the head. I bet at a certain point you’d be able to make a hammer that’s just as effective that’s at least a little bit lighter.

[@OfficiallySnek]

It should theoretically be better because you wouldn't have so much weight at the handle. This would mean you could rotate the hammer quicker while still having the mass to drive a nail in from weight of the head.

[@DoubsGaming]

Agree, metal head fiber handle.

[@DannyDeVitois79]

Yeah, just hack off 40% of a normal hammer handle Boom! Science

[@pondlakes]

but super light handle will affect the center of balance. the handle needs a certain amount of weight

[@point-five-oh6249]

There actually are commercially available products for this you know, with carbon fiber handles and metal heads. You can get them for like $40. They're about 4x more expensive than a run of the mill Stanley (At least according to Home Depot) steel head w/fiberglass handle, but they're there because it works.

To your credit, there is probably a good application for this if you are mainly hitting smaller trim nails (the hammer head used is for trim nails) basically as good as the full weight one for tiny nails, but much lighter.

[@-nepnep-8084]

I agree,and with the amount of questions about it they get,yet they only address the dumb positive comments from random mew ppl instead of longtime fans

[@BigHogGaming]

Thoughts on having some sort of vibrating tool (maybe the back end of a multitool even) when pouring the plaster to vibrate some of the air out like they do in concrete? I have zero idea if it'll work. Just a thought. Been binging your channel since I found it. Y'all rule.

[@skrimper]

It would definitely help a lot, no doubt about it. You could even glue a mallet head to a drill bit or something and just use that against the side to vibrate the plaster and remove air

[@shelbyseitzinger927]

air/power hammer. limited in application since they're kinda unwieldy although not a large tool. good for cleaning weld surfaces

[@bradley3549]

Plaster can be done with very little to no bubbles just with some surfactants and having enough water. This looked way too thick. If you really need to remove the bubbles pulling a vacuum on it quick before pouring can help a lot too.

[@beemer567]

if this guy never produces a video again it will be too soon

[@howitzer551]

I mean this was interesting, but I would like to see more. The entire point of carbon fiber is its super high tensile strength, but it has very low (basically none) yield strength, hence why people make add the resin and make a composite out of it. The problem being that the resin makes it brittle which for its usual uses isn't really a problem. Would be interesting seeing the same carbon fiber resin composite used as like a wrap around a hardwood core might make it a lot tougher and still pretty light as well as give you a little extra mass for driving the nails in. All that said a hammer which does most of it work using the momentum of its mass isn't exactly a good tool to make lighter.

[@zadevil635]

I like when you hit the carbon fiber hammer on the nail it makes a higher and higher pitch kinda like a game where you need to combo to do a task

[@bendingsands87]

[@ronstoner1823]

The weight of a hammer, if used correctly, is what does the job.

[@tammyhollandaise]

As a spendy shortcut for resin control, pre impregnated carbon fiber has an optimal-ish fiber/resin ratio. It has a finite shelf life and needs to be refrigerated.

[@tracybowling1156]

You're doing a great job taking over with the projects. I'm still as interested as I always was. ☺️

[@UV_Lightning]

1:32 watch the video before commenting

[@noone2you622]

Resin is cheaper than letting them show their faces.

[@jordanrelkey]

I'm pretty sure there should be a minimum effective mass for the head where making it any lighter will drop out your potential driving force with an average swing. You know "1/2(mv^2) = mgh" 'v' is obviously the more important variable in kinetic, but without sufficient mass there is no potential.

[@johnbloom1109]

That equation does not tell the full story though. A 2 pound hammer will always out strike a 1 pound hammer irregardless of how fast the 1 pound hammer is swung due to momentum.

[@adequateoats9050]

Less weight equals less force. Hammers work because their weight is able to pound nails in easily.
