As someone who uses the metric system I really appreciate when you add subtitles like "1/2 thou is more or less 13 microns" :)
As always, a wonderful and fun video to watch, Quinn!
Quinn, small correction. Loctite anaerobic cure products (603, 242, etc) are methacrylate based, not cynoacrylate like the moisture cure super glue. The methacrylate products will attack plastics. Semi-crystalline polymers like Delrin or Nylon will be pretty resilient, but if you're using an amorphous plastic like ABS or polycarbonate even close proximity use can lead to cracking. On the products I've designed with polycarbonate display windows we made sure to use one of the moisture cure thread lockers even though the screws were threading into metal.
Ah, good to know. I assumed cyanoacrylate because they smell exactly like superglue.
Awesome work! Loved the commentary
You know the content is good when the king of restoration channels praises it
I don’t have a lathe nor do I plan to make this hammer, but watching you work and listening to the nice way you explain what you are doing was great. Thank you for the hard work you put into making your videos.
Hello Quinn. I'm new to machining, having retired after a lifetime in IT. :-) As someone said to me, it's not so much getting a lathe and a mill - it's getting all the tooling. That is sooo true. It's one of the reasons I enjoy your videos and excellent productions. Making tools saves money and is a great way to learn new skills and get to know your machines and your materials. This machinist's hammer was fun for me to make. I like your approach, your humour and the fact you keep a very clean shop! Keep it up!
Just found your channel. Your humor is subtle, and I found myself quietly smiling at jokes like the q-tip joke. Liked and subscribed.
Hey Blondihacks I've only just gotten my first lathe and have been diving head first into machining and your channel is nothing short of an incredible resource. I love seeing women in the trades and you are extremely skilled, we're all very fortunate that you take the time to share what you've learned.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you've done!
I was having trouble parting off, but now I say "Yahtzee" and it works every time! Thanks for the great tip!
That’s the secret!
@@Blondihacks It really should be included in Machinery's Handbook. Thanks for what you do. You are so good at this and at presenting material.
David Dazer I hope you’re including the all important “aaaaaaaand” before
@@emmajacobs5575 indeed, that part is critical. :)
I'm all out of dwarvin mythril tool steel anyway. Had to fend off lots of werewolves last year.
The werewolves are way out of hand here too. What a year.
Blondihacks you’re the funniest machinist I’ve ever watched
Blondihacks the channel this old tony has the same 4 jaw chuck
Not only the work and didactic to explaining but the video edition was “supreme” there’s no word better, thanks for all effort and love you put on it!
feudiable, Good point, :)))))
Being auto didactic i agree
I made my hammer with a piece of steel tube. Turned down 2 steel endcaps and silver soldered them on then filled the tube with molten lead then drilled and tapped the endcaps to accept a brass and a Delron face. Used a threaded insert into the lead to secure a simple wooden handle. I cannot say that it is the most beautiful tool ever made but it is nicely balanced and very useful.
Watching this now makes me realise just how bloody good my late father was as a production machinist turned teacher. I made my first tappy-tap hammer with a tapered shank and brass and aluminium faced steel head on a Colchester Student around 50 years ago at about age 12.
Then I ended up with a career as a graphic designer. Returning to hobby machining now I’ve done with that work malarkey.
Woaaaaa, you used the TOT time machine maneuver. You finished the handle, then you loaded the Brass for the hammer, found some runout, and did the tappy tap tap with the hammer you were making!
As an apprentice 50 years ago one of the machining projects was to make a similar hammer, I never finished it as I only made the handle, after watching your video I should finish the hammer head :-)

"This is what it does!"
There is a good series on Netflix called "Dark", which involves time travel, and the Bootstrap paradox. The idea of using an object from the future to make said object just reminds me of the series :D
tip, if you use black delrin or nylon, it will look new for longer. uncolored plastic picks up and shows dirt and chips much more than black.
True! This is what I had though.
@@Blondihacks .. cant argue with that logic. :-)
Thanks for letting us into your process. I have learned a ton from you. I particularly appreciate that you share your mistakes and mishaps and admire your clever recoveries from them. Keep it up!
I really appreciate the level of detail and precision that you go to in producing such a mundane tool. Thanks for doing what you do.
First time viewer. Very nicely done. Very good commentary, and clear instructions.
Awesome timing on this one Quinn, as I have to build my own hammer as an assignment for my apprenticeship, and I want to make something I’d actually use on the daily. Love your work.
I've been a Machinist for a long time. I thought you did a great job on your hammer project. I really enjoyed watching it. The only part I thought you any difficulty with is the knurling. To get a good knurl you first need to know what the tooth to tooth pitch of the knurl roll is in thousands of a inch. You can find this by checking the catalog data for the knurl roll. Then figure the circumference of the material to be knurled. Divide the circumference by the knurl roll pitch in thousands of a inch. What you want is a even number, no decimal points left over or as close to even as possible. Adjust the diameter bigger or smaller as needed. A few thousands of a inch in diameter can make a big difference in knurl roll tracking correctly . Thanks for the Video.

Wow, what a great job you did, both with the tutorial, as well as the camera work!!! Thank you so much for sharing! I watched from start to finish and can't wait to try this project on my lathe! Best regards from South Africa
It is just to nice to hit things with it.
Can't wait to find the time to make one myself. Thank you for the great inspiration!!!
That's one beautiful hammer! I agree that you could add this great video to your lathe skills series as project #3.
Quinn, you're the best! I love these little projects - something I didn't get nearly enough of while I was doing my machine shop time. And that was 39 years worth. Keep them coming, young lady!
After watching three of your videos I am definitely giving you the sub. I love your witty sense of humor and of course the way you explain things so that even someone who is completely new to a task can understand. From what I can see so far you are a wonderful teacher.
My 8x16 mini lathe is being delivered tonight! I've been binge-watching your channel for a couple of weeks to get ready. (Last time I used a lathe was a huge and very old Bridgeport in high-school machine shop, circa '72.) You're a truly excellent instructor, and I learn a great deal from every video. Thank you so much for creating this amazing resource on YT.
Great machinist project and when executed well will last forever.Always good to remember how long you have been using a shop made tool and how satisfying it is.
I've just found your channel & I'm very impressed. You're obviously skilled & have a great delivery, thanks very much
Perfectly presented.Please keep on doing whatever is that you do so well. You are hitting right where people (like me) know a bit but not a lot, giving us practical uses for these skills. You are my hero!
Quinn! When you're doing threaded holes on the mill or lathe I've found it best to use a 120 degree spotting drill that's bigger than the threaded major diameter. Trick is to spot the hole so the spot diameter is .03-06" or so larger than the major diameter of the thread. That way when you drill and tap you get a nice chamfer and the 60 deg thread pitch matches the 120 deg spot. It's a really nice way to not raise a bur after threading and keeping the face flat. Love watching your videos!
Quinn, to me this tappy tap tap video is one of your best! when I finally get my lathe running I'll give this a shot! and you a daisy for showing how it's done for us noobs.
Nice little project. I really enjoy listening to your calming voice.
I'm not a machinist but I do fabricate metal parts, mostly for my motorcycle. The original gas tank held 2.9 gallons with the .9 gallon was for the reserve. I put a larger 3.7 gallon tank on my bike and since the original seat wouldn't fit, I made a solo seat. I learned how to heat treat metal on RUclips, heat treated the rear mounts for the new tank and the hinge for the seat.
This is exactly what I have to make for a school project. Now I can see what challenges lies ahead... Thanks so much
Cool! I Just bought myself a Sherline 4100 lathe (I actually said that on another one of your videos's comments :D) And I had some extra stock and I made on of these today! I obviously made it a lot tinier and metric but it is great! I can use it to tappy tap tap!
Quin, you make it look so easy. VERY nice job.
Your channel is the best on YT!! The way you explain each process is great. Massive thanks for the video.
Your voice alone makes watching your videos a joy to watch. I love it! Keep up the awesome work.
I'm a budding hobby watchmaker/micro-machinist, and this is the first of your videos I've seen. It's so cool to know there is at least one woman out there who loves machining metal this much and is so amazing at it! I look forward to watching more and learning from your awesomeness!
I’m a newby and have watched a couple of your vids now and am enjoying them. Like everyone who is good at what they do you make it look easy, the hard part is explaining it, you are very good. There is a lathe shaped spot in my shed which needs filling. Jeff
Love these videos! Was a machinist for a couple years before going into aviation and im wanting to get back into it again. Keep up the good work!
I have nice little jewelers hammer that I use on guitar work, such as setting frets and other small tapery jobs. I made new heads, similar to your techniques to use different materials such as Delrin and aluminium (UK spelling 😉), it came with copper.
Your commentaries are great with good relevant detail, great for beginners and olde greasy Engineers with bad memory, like me.
Thanks for the time you take to do this.
That was really fun to watch! Thanks for the inspired confidence.
Lovely one!!!
Made a tiny hammer for my shop some time ago (not as nice or big as yours though).
My first lathe project was a small brass cannon... VERY simplistic, but it was a good start... and a LOT of fun.
After that... well... I got hooked. Lathes (and mills) are addictive - It's just so MUCH fun... :)
Greetings from Croatia! Excellent work and very eloquent explanations. At first, one may think that such tool is not essential, but tools like this bring magic that makes you enjoy your work.
I like the use of machinist hammer when indicating the brass head on the lathe. Love your vids and like you I love, love love those thread checkers on the cable. Ive got SAE and metric. They are great.
Talk about a great idea to deal with the stringy plastic. Love the vac idea, never would have thought of that
Great project, as I always say, there is always room in the tool chest for another "beating instrument". It has also been said that no project in history could have been completed without some version of a hammer. Cheers, I enjoyed this project sublimely!
Super video, I wish I had found your channel before I retired so I could have done some machining projects.
I see that Acetal has about 1/20th the post machining growth of nylon. That stability should make your Delrin
parts a lot more stable. The moisture growth of nylon can be used to advantage in some instances, but that's
another story.
Hammer Time!
Sean Whelan “You can’t touch this!”
Thanks for the video. Even without a mill or a lathe, your channel is satisfying to watch.
Great Video, I made a couple of these in Machine Shop with the interchangeable heads in Delrin, Brass and Steel.👍🏼
.
I really do appreciate the step by step instructions. Learning heaps 👍
Awesome job. Well explained. Thanks, it gives me confidence for my first hammer.
Thank you for you inspiration and of course the plans for the shop hammer. I just finished making my own version of the hammer. It has a copper, brass, and delrin hammer head. I screw the spare head onto the handle of the hammer so it is always available.
Great video! Just the right amount of talking and doing. I learn something every time.
That’s a great tip for turning delrin! I will definitely be doing that from now on
yes! me too, now I'm not worried about when I have to turn acetal.
I want to make a 1/2 size model of this, very light, but a brass handle with 1 acetal tip and the other a hard rubber bcs as I work mostly with brass parts, I need a softer impact
thanks for the tips, great vid!
Ohh.., I love to see you doing that,I always learn something, this hammer is a state of art, beautiful.. congrats.
I just made a die holder. Next project I’m going to attempt to follow your tap follower design. Think I might give this a go after that. Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.

I made mine about twelve years ago! I just made mine out of solid brass! The plastic tips are nice! I have one out of hex brass and then another just bar stock! Great job! Keep up the great work and videos!
I have fond memorys of making lots of small tools in machinig class when I was 14 years old.
The best trick I can teach is to make the darn thing first, then measure it and make the drawing after, then you don't need to scap parts that get undersized...
I had a great teacher, he said "Does the exact dimension matter? If not, just make it after what looks good" if it does matter (IE treads or fit against other parts) make it first and make sure it is to spec before making the heavy work that heats up the material.
When I made a brass hammer I just wedged a piece of dead tree into a chunk of brass which I drilled by eye *shudder*, but this is an entirely different beast 😃. Way to beautiful to hit things with it.
Awesome video, really enjoyed watching the process. Came out beautiful.
Thanks Quinn for another highly enjoyable and informative video. Like all your videos, this one was over too soon. Cheers from Vancouver.
I was taught with delrin to take the heaviest deepest fastest feed cut possible. Eg. Try a 1/4" or 3/8" cut with heavy feed as a roughing pass, even on a small lathe. The curls end up thick and uniform and instead of wrapping around the work they fall off to the side of the lathe.
Very nice project and excellent instructional video! As usual! Thanks Quinn.
I love your work, and thank you for the video material
Love to see you make the die holder , used in this video. Love the hammer too.
Thanks for another great video! Brilliant trick with the shop vac. :)
Nice to see proper ear cleaning techniques on that brass stock, very overlooked.
The first video of yours I saw was you making your soft jaws. I'm glad to see you and copper getting along now.
We’re on speaking terms again, but only copper’s much better-looking cousin C110.
Some of the most simple pieces can be so satisfying! Very nice work.👍
22 minutes and 41 seconds of satisfying. I'm pretty inspired to try to make one myself. Need a knurling tool!
Hi Quin, great informative video as usual. Your video's are a pleasure to watch, and you explain everything along the way.
With the 4 jaw chuck, I have made 2 wood handles with square metal ends, when adjusting the chuck, you have a handle in each opposite jaw and turn them together (in opposite ways)
This very quickly gets the work piece in the center, then tighten with the key. Hope I explained that easily.
Regards Shayne....Australia(down under)
That is a very useful tool ,beautifully made . I like your humour sometimes really subtle sometimes slap in the face ! All in all you have one of the best machinists channel on RUclips ( but don't tell Stefan ).
Other trick I've used with acetyl is using a turning tool with a ridiculous back rake like 5-8 degrees (seems to break the string up and shoots it away from work piece) Vacuum looks the go though
Love the techniques. THat's a lot of precision for a little shop hammer!
Thank you so much for this! You helped me make my second project on the lathe a success and I learned so much from it (you)!
Great video! I can't wait to get my lathe restoration done so I can try this project. Thanks for these videos, Quinn!
Never thought to use the part to square up the tool stock. Ingenious
That handle fit into the brass head was just... **chef kiss**
Great machining video Quinn, very useful tips.
Thanks for sharing, regards John.
So fun to watch. I also made one like this when I went to school to become a skilled worker.
But it was a little bit bigger.
Cool project :)
Love love love the honesty
I tried Kool Mist in a Noga Mini-cool for CNC milling, and I wasn't impressed. It works well for cooling, but it was...for lack of a better word...squeaky. I ended up switching to soluble oil for milling and whenever I can I run carbide dry at high speed in the lathe. It doesn't always work out. :)
I turn alot of PTFE at work and we always use the vacuums to suck up the swarf. Also can get decent chip controll if you have 0 rake and have the tool upside down.
Just subscribed! I have many years of experience as a woodturner. Just bought benchtop metal lathe and find your videos very helpful. Hope to see many more vids. Thank you,
You did a fine job on making the hammer Blondihacks!
I made one of these a few years ago, I used brass tubing for the main "body" of the hammer. I just cut the threads in the tubing and screwed the handle with a bolt through the tubing. I first screwed in the copper bit, filled it with bits of lead, then installed the handle with the screw and heated everything until the lead melted and added more until I had just enough room for the POM (delrin) head left. The lead holds the threads in place and adds some nice weight to the body.
thx sister... got one with Cu/ Brass, works so well on sensitive machine parts....
Looks really awesome
I just can‘t wait to get my new lathe set up and make one by myself.
Found your channel a while back while researching mills. This video convinced me to subscribe. I know very little about machining but want to learn more and possibly embark as a hobbyist. I think your channel will be a big help in doing so.
Love your content, presentation style and sense of humor. The q-tip line made me laugh more than it probably should have.
This is one of the best YT channels around for hobbyist machinists. Way too many beginner videos assume you have a full-sized shop packed to the brim with tooling.
Definitely check out her "Lubricants and Chemicals You Need in a Machine Shop" video.
Thank you for the kind words, and for the sub! 😊
@@dcurry7287
Thanks for the recommendation!
When threading copper a number of the forums suggest that you can use milk as a cutting fluid. The concept is the water in the milk cools the part while the butterfat lubricates the threads. It's worth try.
Yikes. Sounds like a smelly mess in a couple of weeks. 😅
Love the video. Nice work!
That came out really nice
What a super nice job!!
I made one of these hammers a few months ago. The handle was made of aluminum. A threaded brass rod was used between the handle and aluminum head. The handle and head were counter board and taped to receive the brass rod. I used brass and Delrin for the cap ends on the head, but I used threaded rod in the aluminum head and added Loctite to retain the screw rods. I drilled and taped the brass and Delrin cap ends. This gave them an easier change out when the time comes. I drilled a 3/16 hole in the side of the heads for a pin to tighten the cap ends on or to remove them. I also grooved out the end of the handle and added an o-ring for when I put the hammer down, preventing the handle end from banging on the table. I use this hammer all the time. I'm an amateur machinist and I wish you well.
Very nice work. I like your lathe set-up too!
