I was about to modify this hammer with no thought of making a video. Then at the last minute it seemed to be a worthy idea.
Hopefully you thought so too!

I like,how there isnt any of that annoying music that usually comes with these types of videos. The sounds of the crafting process are much more enjoyable to listen to.
Many_Lives yes. Even the bits where it’s sped up like the hammering bits
I'm a fan of grinding, filing, hammering spam noise's with the narration.
Agreed
@@harrigoldsmith8280 🤣 Feels like he's hitting me with a metal tool and talking about the engineering
I agree
The star of the show... This guys sander. Flipping gorgeous machine.
*guy's
@@kyrie26 appreciated. I'll leave it as is so that others may also learn from it.
Low that sand band has to be expensive.
Made here in Australia 👌👍
Absolutely...YES
Never mind the hammer,
That SANDER !
I want more info on the work table
I came here to say just this!
That is nice, I like the tilting capability. I built this one last month!

Love that sander. Where can i get one
Please tell me where I can get one of those Sanders??
I'm more impressed by how you made that wedge than anything else... damn that was slick
Yeah I found the woodwork far more impressive that the grinding
Seeing how to forge a hammer from stock steel would be a real treat. I hope you decide to produce it.
Watch Alec steel then
Will do! Thanks for the recommendation.
@@DanHoke and zh fabrications does some gorgeous hammers too.

Old hickory forge is good too!
Thank you so much for this video My sister is new to blacksmithing and she is having a hard time finding hammers with the right size and weight for her. This video shows a good alternative.
Never thought I was going to type this but,
That's a nice hammer
Hello from Ladysmith, BC, Canada. I have no need for a blacksmith's hammer but having watched this video and having been around horses most of my younger years I am now trying to talk myself out of making one. This is a wonderful demonstration of your ideas and skills. Thank you and have a great 2020.
You should start a Scrap Metal Challenge series just so you can take your Scrap Wood Challenge intro and turn it into a metal song!
That's a FINE idea! Cheers! Chris.
Scrap brass challenge, scrap steel challenge
It’s rusted, it’s dull
But some of the lead is good

Yes, what Justin said. Do that, great idea
That would be really cool.

I need to pin a comment as I keep getting told how cheap a cross pein hammer is. It seems when I explain I couldn't get one where I live and I needed one straight away, somehow that's not understood! I understand this isn't a high quality hammer and I'm not comparing it to one but it'll get me by for a while!
Also for everyone asking about the grinder, it really is an amazing machine, it's made by 84 Engineering and sold by www.artisansupplies.com.au :)
Great video! How is the hammer working out?
i think the hammer turned out stellar. It is a tool for your shop. would be cool if you engraved your logo or name into the handle though. something to give it that extra touch of personalization.
I like to use a coarse flap disc on an angle grinder for shaping handles, messy but quick and actually quite controllable.
An unbalanced (face heavy) hammer is actually really nice for knife making. The weight helps keep the flat faced straight down without tilting sideways and making divots.
So jealous of your belt grinder!
In Russia we got old joke about this.
Some country bought assembly line for Soviet fighter jets, and some knocked down kits. However, after assembly they got tractor, not a plane. One retry, two, three, rereading plans - still got tractors. Then they called original manufacturers to ask what's wrong. Their responce is:
- Do you read assembly manual? You need to elaborately file the completed machine after the assembly!
Haha! I like it! :)
Yup sound like a scam to me
I don't get it:(
i like your humor, John, Australia.
scumbag benis Well if you file/remove enough material from a tractor itl eventually weigh as little as an aircraft
I have that exact same hammer I've had it for almost 10 years it may be cheap but it's a damn good hammer. I use it when I build railroad tie retainers I can drive a 12 inch galvanized steel spike in four blows with that thing
Me too.
And this guy cut the handle off his.
Stupidity huh.
@@ChrisBrown-pw2lb why would you put a hard wood handle on it the composite handle does an awesome job of dampening the shock of use. I don't understand.
Some find wood handles to be superior for their jobs. Smiths tend to prefer wood handles for their performance. Additionally, wood handles resist damage from heat sources better than the composite.
I started watching this because I was curious as to why you wouldn't just buy a cross pein hammer. I can fully see why, beautiful craftsmanship.
Thank you
I agree about using the rasp to shape a handle. Somehow it just seems right to use your hands to fit a tool that will be used by the same.
Have you looked at - black bear forge - he has a lot of useful vids, he has one about avoiding tendon injury and talks about handle design and how it impact grip which can cause elbow tendon injury. He also uses a cross pein with the pien rotated 45 degrees from normal, I couldn’t figure it out until I noticed that the pein falls in line with the anvil when you take a normal comfortable stance in front of the anvil. All his stuff is worth watching.
I'll have to check the video about avoiding tendon injury, that would be really helpful! Thanks! :)
The latest "that works" vlog/whatever has some hammering tips too, I tried the technique they mentioned today and clearly need more practice.
love it!
A superb and straight forward video,with no excessive wordiness!!!!
Those chisels look super sharp.
Yas!!! When you start to forge your blacksmith Hammer I definitely want a video series on that. Still looking for property but will be building my own blacksmith Forge soon after I get some property so I will definitely need that video
Blacksmith apprentices start out making their own tools once they graduate from sweeping up the shop and manning the bellows. I would love to see videos whilst you are making yours. Sending lots of love ❤ from sunny 🌅 Arizona 🌵 USA 🗽
Your skills never cease to amaze! That hammer turned out great.
The guy definitely has talent.
I would like to see a "Can you tell?" episode, where five tools are next to five good quality, but production line made tools. Then have a expert, or not, pick.
Hold up there kills.
He made a $7 hammer out of a $10 one.
He did cure cancer.
I work for Vaughan and Bushnell mfg co. Out of Bushnell, IL USA and we make some of the best hammers and hand tools in the world. I work in the forge department. I started as a hammer operator and worked my way into maintenance and now I'm die maintenance in the forge department. I love my job and I love the forge department. It does get extremely hot as we have 12 slotted furnaces in our building and each furnace is around 2,200° F. But, it is a very hands on job and I've gotten a lot of experience and I've learned a lot from my job and it's an awesome environment to be in.
There's also a boiled linseed oil onto hot steel finish that might have been good. Thumb up!
I've done that in a few videos and it works great. I didn't want to put too much heat into the hammer though and ruin the temper. :)
This is so good. Love the homemade steel hammer wedges too; why didn’t I think of that!
Holymoly that grinder moves a lot off material!

You did a great job on this hammer.👍
Pask, I would watch you make a bowl of cereal. Don't ever not film something.
AMEN!! Totally agree
Changing "the kid's" diaper.

P S I liked that wooden hold down
Here’s his video in case you missed it...

@@thickmike , thanks for the link to the video !
My thoughts exactly !! A true craftsman !!
Beautiful hammer. Love watching people make tools. Great work
i like how you present diffirent functionalities of your crafted tools : the belt sander with its multiple usage position, the clamp , the vice & all
sublime way to presnet your products
Glad i wasnt the only one blown away by that belt sander...thing 😍 boy i need me one of them
Gunner Schenck
ruclips.net/video/xVs_uERKA6Y/видео.html
Beautifully done. I'm glad you decided to film it!
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. It was when you put the bevel on the handle end that I realised just how hard that wood is. A good choice for the application I'm sure.
Yup, definitely on the to do list.
Nice job! Thanks for sharing
Watching you watch paint dry would still be a good video :)
Thanks for sharing,
Cheers
Great work Brother! I look forward to your videos, I always learn so much. Had you been my shop teacher back in the day, I might have actually enjoyed the class. Thanks for taking the time to produce these videos.
I'd love to see the forging a hammer as a series! Sure, it's been done elsewhere, but everyone has a different take on the process and nuggets of knowledge come from each and every one.
That’s a tough-looking tool, and you made it really nice.
Luckily you made this vid man. That’s allot of views, hopefully you made allot of this video. Thank you for not having advertisements every few minutes I subbed
That’s awesome! Great touch with metal wedges to lock it all up! Never seen that!
1:25 am, second day of Coronavirus lock down... got lost! Watching someone grinding a hammer... hi from South of France. One love
I hope you are doing well...
From California, the Bay Area were holding in there..
Hahaha me too.... ottawa, Canada
Im here to support people helping people make cheaper tools themselves.
If you can forge a hammer, you can forge a ball!
Er...something like that
Great comment and great reference to Rip Torn, who just died a few days ago and uttered the line "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball." What a treasure.
I think it's if you can dodge the cops you can dodge child support?
Is it "necessary" that I drink my own urine?
@@joebodynobody764 Sterile. Drink a lot and 50/50 you feel great or you feel sick as a dog
I assume he already forged a couple of balls, since his appear to be made of steel
Nice looking hammer, and I love the vinegar finish.
Thanks for today's video. I'm more comfortable working with wood. For some reason I think metal is monumentally difficult. But with videos like today's, I'm getting more and more comfortable in thinking I might try a metal project. Thanks again ❤🌅🌵
You make it look so easy. Makes me believe that anything is possible.
Your awesome! Thank you for not putting crapy music
*You're
I'm not a Smith but I still love these videos, there entering and I always learn something new
You are a genius.... And you move faster than any human I've ever seen.... Kind of reminds me of an slapstick.....God bless you.....I really appreciate and enjoyed the video...... keep up the great work.
If I had that sander, I'd find reasons to show it off too. Looks fun.
Regional differences are funny, cross peen hammers are available at any store that sells tools in the USA. I have never seen a straight peen here and if I needed one would likely have to make one. Great video.
Same here in Romania. Ball peens are harder to find, but everything it's possible
This is the first of your videos I've watched, that's an amazing belt sander you have.
8:17 making steel shims that way ...simply brilliant!
Great project!
Very helpful video. Great job
The steel wedges would have held a bit stronger if they weren't such a smooth surface, but I think it will hold. Might be worth keeping in mind though when you make a better hammer.
I cut little barbs in the side of mine with a bandsaw
That is one badasses belt sander. Of course that was very good work as well.
Roger Jordan what kind is it ?
Loved the wedges!!
I really like the vinegar bath finish. I plan to make my first hammer soon.
Quick question and a request. Did you make your belt grinder? And could we please have a video about your grinder with lots of shots of it’s setup and how it’s put together. Thanks. Mick 😃👍
I knew I should check the comments first before I asked the same question! Yes please, to seeing a little more of this!
I also want to know and se more about this!
Same
I thought about making one but I decided to buy instead. I love this machine, it's extremely well built, I use it every day and it's going to last me years so I'm very happy with my purchase. You can see a tour of the grinder in this video ruclips.net/video/F-jHm-AQZac/видео.html and this is where I bought it from www.artisansupplies.com.au :)
That's truly Awesome i don't know Why but I would never have thought to modifying a hammer great job please keep the videos coming they are very helpful take care and God bless you and yours 🙋♂️
That turned out great! Glad you decided to share. Thank You
Hi P...I've decided, your awesomeness has no bounds. Super video - no crap music just the sounds of your labours. And a new super tool to add to the collection. Sometimes i like the peace of manual tools when time allows, the older i get the crankier i get about noisy anything. Grumpy? Me? Nah! Stay safe and keep up the good work.
You turned a ten dollar hammer into a hundred dollar one. Great job.
The is one beautiful grinder machine, multi angle and all, who makes that?
Would be interested to know make of grinder too
As do I

It really is an amazing machine John. It's made by 84 Engineering and sold by www.artisansupplies.com.au :)
It looks home made
I’m so glad I found this channel
You are the kind of neighbor that everyone should have.
Valerio Fanelli
Unfortunately they become the neighbour that can never get their own work done if they are the neighbour everyone should have.
@@Crewsy so true!
You can leave the hammer head soaking in boiled linseed oil so it can soak in to the top of the handle to make it even more snug. I believe Wranglestar has a video on this kind of treatment
Had never heard that before, look forward to giving that a try.
that sanding belt is amazeballs!

The Breeders said it best. That is “one divine hammer”!
Incredible show of craftsmanship for sure! Thanks for the show.
This was great but just think how great it would be if he modified from the cross pein to the sledge! 🙂
I liked this one. Makes me want to make custom handles for all my crap hammers 😂
Imagine spending that kind of time turning a $10 hammer into a $7 hammer.
My thoughts EXACTLY...!
Not everything is about money. But if you wanna talk about money, this video got 2.4M views which I'm sure generated more than $10 in ad revenue.
THANK YOU!
And spending $30 on sandpaper in the process.
I believe he said he was having trouble finding one locally, so it makes sense to me that he would convert what he had at hand... and make something exactly the way he wanted it
Was literally thinking about doing this today with my 2.5lb Dewalt hammer since I upgraded to handmade hammer last year
The most satisfying part was hammering those wedges in!
This is like the Simpsons chilli episode. "They say he carved it from a bigger spoon" - Lenny. 🤣
No se si entiendes el español, yo no se ingles. pero admiro tu trabajo y agradezco tu generosidad al compartirlo. Desde el otro lado del mundo (Piriápolis Uruguay) te felicito y muchísimas gracias por tus videos. Todos me han gustado mucho.
No hablo español pero muchas gracias! Si aún no lo sabes, he estado agregando subtítulos en español a mis videos por un tiempo. :)
The real hero of this video is the belt on that belt sander hehe and of course the belt sander itself. Truly a beast!
Once again: WHAT A GREAT PROJECT!!!! It always baffels me how you come up with those amazing ideas. There can‘t be many people who, instead of buying a new hammer, look at the ones they already have and then make a new one out of them. And not only making a new hammer: It also looks great! IMPRESSIVE! 👏👍
I love your channel! Can‘t wait to see with what you are comming up next. 😁
Greetings from Switzerland
That’s a freaking wonderful belt grinder
Your work always amazes me. Brilliant skills and dedication.
Under the wooden handle, the hole in the hammer is small. Under the wooden handles at the factory they make a hole larger than under the plastic ones.
Yes you're correct but I reckon it'll still be fine! :)
Damn, that sander is an absolute unit.
That looks like a really nice belt sander, may I ask where it's from?
The grinder is made by 84 Engineering and sold by www.artisansupplies.com.au :)
ruclips.net/video/xVs_uERKA6Y/видео.html
I think you should do a video on that sander that you're using that thing's pretty cool
Good job brother. Thanks for the video ⚒️
Rookie? No way my friend. Awesome job.
Just love watching you work! A delight..
"I don't want it to rust" doesn't sand corrosion in the middle.... Shoulda just blued it
The vinager would of ate that rust off.
You really nailed this hammer project. 🔨 👍
Final product looks really good. awesome job and nice to see you do it with tools that are not uncommon to normal garage like majority of the videos people make. Kudos
Hi, I am never going to make or use that hammer as my health would never let me stand for more than 30 seconds, but I still really enjoyed the video and your description of what you were doing. Have you finished the Scrap wood challenge as I enjoyed all the things you made out of what most people would consider firewood? Great video and keep them coming.
Glad you enjoyed it John! I haven't finished the scrapwood challenge, there will be more on the way! :)
Now I’ve got something to do with all them broken craftright sledges 😂
Very nice job, I’ve been wanting to try doing the same thing to one of my old sledgehammers. Now you’ve given me the inspiration to give it a go!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Beautiful work
