How To Make a Hand-Engraved Hammer with Simple Tools

- In this video I am showing how I made a simple hand engraved hammer without a forge or fancy tools. For the Hammerhead I have used a 25mm by 25mm steel bar (1” x 1”) and cherry wood for the handle, cherry is not ideal for hammer handles but it is beautiful and this hammer will get very light abuse, ideally hickory or ash wood is used.
To see how I make my gravers check my video on making an engraving starter kit:

Song based on:
The Animals - house of the rising sun - 1964
I mean, yeah, the video IS indeed about the hammer, but no one's even gonna mention the superb ballad arrangement he made just for said hammer?!?!?
It's a cover btw.
Yea, I linked it to my bro and I was like, Idk If the hammer or his song at the end is cooler
duduwt the ballad made my heart throb.
the melody is from a song called "House Of The Rising Sun"
@@user-su6wy3bj4v Yep sung by The Animals,a British band led by Eric Burden.
I enjoy the fact that even the tools on his bench are art pieces.
Kinda like taking apart an old watch with all the old horological engravings.
Never seen this guy, watched the first 10 seconds and subscribed.
Me 2.
that's how he gets ya
that is what happen to me.. darn it.
me too!!
It's this kind of effort that transforms a simple hand tool into a family heirloom. It's beautifully engraved.
You know what else is a family heirloom passed down for generations? Down's syndrome.
haha that was funny
I could not have said it better my self. Really that what u said is right on so many levels. 👏🇺🇸🤘
Being able to make sumthin and also passing it down to someone else in yur family that's awesome. Kool thing to do.
yes, now all you need is a family to pass it down on.
This video leaves me with a double feeling.
1) it inspires me to make stuff
2) it makes me want to sell all my tools because I no longer feel worthy to own them.
Same!
Me to.
@Ανένδοτος 1 is true for me, but I don't have that kind of talent (like the guy in the video) so 2 is also true for me
Then get worthy
Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor
I am literally in awe... the making of this without forge and with minimal use of power tools... this brings new inspiration to me. Thank you so much for doing this!
10/10 Hammer, 10/10 for your own version of "House of the RIsing Sun".
That freehand engraving is amazing.
Making art with our tools is one thing, but making our tools art as well is something else. I love it.
If engraving doesn't work out, you could always become a surgeon.
Michael Sanft clever comment :)
A singing surgeon!

not with those nails bruh 11:51

How to make an engraved hammer:
Be a master engraver.
Proceed to engrave a hammer.
Done and done.
You forgot step 1: Git gud. XD We all start somewhere.
Look at 15:21 - look closely at the linework. Master engraver you say?
Snorri Ö.K. I did not look that close at the first instance, but you are right, the lines are not perfect at all.
The guy made a good job for a beginner, but he is not a master. His job I far from what master engravers make. Still a good job for someone who is doing it for fun.
Nope.
I'm just going to pitch a cool looking hammer head into the CNC. I ain't got no time to become an artisan.
hah, like that old joke 'how to become a millionaire. First, get a million dollars, okay now...
it looked just about do able ,,, till the free hand swirls started at about eleven mins , then i realised i was watching a true master at work.
Was thinking the same. ‘
Yeah. i could do this.
Dude starts engraving
Me. Nope.
@@oxyrisin same haha
Yeah, I was like o easy I can, not do this
It's not that difficult... I make them big but all freehand.

@@zalansz8225 Wow!
If you heat a bucket of sand over a fire for 2 hours at
Theophilus Jedediah fantastic tip for the handle process. thanks for sharing that.
Good tips Theophilus. Also, it looked like the wood used was pine which is fine for a show piece but consider using hickory next time. An alternative to boiled linseed oil (on the shaft of the handle at least... stick to linseed for split top) would be pure tung oil. While it is slightly more expensive, requires (much) longer to dry, and sanding between coats, it does have a higher sheen, is better at water proofing, and no or only slight yellowing when compared to linseed.
I am curious on the soaking of the wedge however? Most wedges I've seen have been metal and while I guess there is a case to be made for penetrating the split with the oil from the wedge, would you only do this for wooden wedges (as a treatment for the wedge) or would you also do this for metal wedges? Is there not a higher risk of flammability with the chemical reaction from the drying by doing this? Would it even cure properly with such a tight seal?
NickGreyden whether hickory, pine or oak it is important to heat dry and then hot insert the handle whether you use boiled linseed oil (my all purpose preservative for maintaining wood), steam swelling or another oil preservative is all a matter of choice. But it will take the shrinking then swelling with some liquid that will swell the wood to achieve the desired result.
wow very complex do to simple thing
"and cherry wood for the handle, cherry is not ideal for hammer handles but it is beautiful and this hammer will get very light abuse, ideally hickory or ash wood is used." from the video description
Uri ,
this hammer would lay down on shelf and never would use it .
amazing work , thanks
You forgot to mention the most important tools:
Time and patience.
Yea and a properly tempered engraving awl helps too
@Nosyata that usually comes with time and patience.
And talent. And skill.
@@psfrl skill comes with time
And passion. Engraving and all of the other processes have very Zen characteristics, not to rush for a final product, but to enjoy and get lost in the process of every single position of the tool and hammer hit, to be present in the moment. Great job master! :)
Great work on that hammer! Very few people understand the amount of work that goes into something like this.. God bless
It is a rare privilege to watch such skilled and gifted hands at work. Thank you for sharing this video.
That was awesome. The end was unexpected but probably the best part.
I can't find any word to explain how unique your art is.
You are the best 💎
Shocking skill I have to say! Here’s an interesting little trick I heard on transferring a design from paper to steel. If you make a design on your computer, mirror it, and print it out onto paper, you can lay the inked side down on the steel, and spray acetone on the back of the paper the design on the paper will neatly transfer the design from the paper to the serface of the steel. I’m sure I could’ve explained that better. Regardless, excellent work!
CarbideSyndicate great tip! I will definitely try it out, however I do prefer drawing the design by hand but maybe I'll trace it out on the computer.
@1234 yes, that's true. by tracing I meant scanning the drawing and then trace out the lines just to make them more refined and visible in the transferring process.
it should work either way. as long as ink is on the paper ya know
You can also use polyacrylic in the same way as the acetone but it is a lot less toxic. I found out about this a couple of days ago by watching this video: ruclips.net/video/xHOWUR8vTvo/видео.html He is showing the method on wood, but it will work on metal as well. You have some awesome engraving skills Uri. Beautiful hammer.
If you’re going to try that, it needs to be printed with a laserjet printer.
It’s the carbon from the toner that transfers, not the ink from an inkjet printer.
That incredible work! Wow! The LORD has blessed you with great skill!

super funny and skillful! well done!
Hey! Thanks man!
@@urituchmanpigeon hey, stunning work and can you tell me the metal you use for the engravers and the metal you engrave on please, keep up with the good work
That belongs in a museum!!!
I'm calling it now. 100k subs by the end of the year and 1 million by the end of next year. Keep up the amazing work!
I think you're right, seems like the next crafting phase on RUclips is upon us
Check out Jimmy Diresta. It's BEEN upon us. I think you'll like his stuff.
The guy just amazes me. If you're into 'different' woodcraft, check out Mathew Wandel.
He takes the 'engineering' approach to his projects. I made some very simple shelving he did a video about. Simple and REALLY strong. He did a "marble machine" series that was really something else. Heirloom stuff I'd say. There's a bunch of "top shelf" (IMHO) artisans out there. All well worthy of looking into. What amazes me most I think is how generous they are with the knowledge they've gained, most likely by graduating the School of Hard Knocks.
He's at 47k as of now. He better hurry up if he's to reach 100k by the new year.
@@BUSTRCHERRI it's not linear. The growth is exponential.
Alright... this is the first video I've seen of yours. Instant subscriber. Amazing work, love the custom music(I do my own music for my videos as well). Amazing work!
right!!!!????
perfection!
Lot of Work. Why you dont buy it? Its much easyier
This has the makings of an amazing collab.
@@kamalmx2269 I can't tell if you're trolling or serious. Assuming you're serious, I would guess that's exactly why they do it. For the work. If you've never made anything with your own hands, I would highly recommend it. Regardless of what it is. You'll gain a sense of pride (a good kind). You'll gain a better appreciation of the value of making things like this. You'll learn more about yourself. Even if what you make is intangible, you'll get the feeling of having accomplished and created something. Maybe you already do. Do you code any? Art? Music? Looking at your channel, it seems like you enjoy working out. That's similar. You have to work hard to get good results, right? :)
Just because there may be an easier way to do something, it doesn't necessarily mean that you should do it the easy way. Kinda like why the phrase "taking the easy way out" is negative. :)
Plus, if you have kids or ever do or even nieces or nephews, you can teach them how to do the same. It's a very good lesson to learn. One that doesn't seem to be taught very much anymore unfortunately. Also, learning it younger can make a greater impact on the child. They'll grow up knowing they can accomplish something themselves. Learning the value of things.
I don't mean that you should seek out the hardest way possible though, unless you want a challenge.
There are probably more reasons and better reasons but my brain has decided to stop working.
Haha same ,👍
I have no idea why RUclips suggested this but I am glad it did - it was so satisfying to watch how a piece of metal and wood turned into a master piece!
This is the first video of yours I have watch your work is very divine craftsmanship is very beautiful
Except for all of those times he fucked up.
Became big fan of this guy and his videos -subscribed after watching the first video. Fantastic craftsman. Excellent artist. 👏🏻
Even if you hadn't won my respect with your tool making and artistic skills, you would absolutely have earned my respect just for hand-engraving that hammer without use of power tools. I just finished engraving a sword I'm making, but I used a Dremel with diamond bits, and it took me hours to hand etch it. I can only imagine how much time and effort you spent doing it with a hammer and chisel.
I'm truly impressed by your skill and efforts in this video.
That's simply amazing engraving skills right there! It's so nice to see this level of detailed metalwork done with nothing but hand tools.
One thought though. As a blacksmith, I just can't imagine making a hammer without hardening the steel.. Though I guess there's a difference depending on what you use it for.
i think, as long as this hammer isnt purely decorative it should definetly be hardened. as soon as he strikes a nail, the hammer would be dented
you made a hammer so nice nobody will hit a nail with it.
Default Camo you can’t hit anything with it the metal is too soft
That's not the sort of hammer one uses on nails anyway.
I am surprised nobody mentioned how much the engraving style matches that of traditional leather carving- acanthus leaves, beading and all.
Amazing craftsmanship, beautiful end product.
Love the cat at the beginning of the video
Can't do good work without proper supervision. ;>)
Don't forget the pliers 3rd from left. ..wtf ??! Cat???? Look at the engraving!!!
Maybe the cat is engraved?!
I can't even imagine how many hours you put into producing this masterpiece.
Why am I just discovering your channel now....these videos are great!
Beautiful! Love the hammer and It's always a pleasure to see people still working with their hands and a creative imagination. Cheers!
Wow...you're an artist in everyway of the word.
Amazing job as always, you make some pretty impresive stuff.
Fantastic way to shape metals.
Stop! .....HammerTime. AMAZING work.
Absolutely beautiful mate inspirational and the fact that you made it all with handtools is even more impressive makes me wonder what you would be capable of if you had access to some of the workshops the other RUclipsrs have keep up the good work👊
Well said 👏 👌 👍
Wow, true craftsmanship with hand tools....salute!
Ein unglaublich schönes Stück, dieser Hammer ist wahre Kunst. Ich ziehe meinen Hut voll Ehrfurcht und Demut.
Bitter mien herr
מרשים ביותר.
אהבתי את הסבלנות הכרוכה בזה...
העיצוב יפהפה ורואים את ההשקעה.
Danke für das Super Video!
Das sieht natürlich viel einfacher aus, als es wirklich ist!
Man muss schon ein großes Talent für solche Handwerkskünste haben, bevor man sich an solch ein schönes Stück herantraut!
In diesem Zusammenhang fällt mir folgende Geschichte ein:
Ein Bildhauer wird gefragt, wie man so einen schönen Löwen aus Stein meißeln kann.
"Das ist GANZ EINFACH", erwiedert der :
"Sie nehmen Hammer und Meißel und schlagen alles weg, was nicht nach LÖWE aussieht!
Dann bleibt der Löwe übrig!"
Came for the hammer stayed for the song.
This pissing contest is kinda interesting too!
Amazing work, Alec Steele could really use your skills right now. Ever engrave an Eagle Globe and Anchor?
I thought it as well
skoitch, alec is trying hard and doing a decent job lol
I agree, I love his work! I just thought he could benefit from this guys expertise!
skoitch yes i agree, hey go check out a channel called master engraver here on youtube...there's a video where he talks about giving advise to alec, and gives am example. He does great work as well
skoitch Sorry add "TV" to the end of the title i gave you
You were born 120 years too late. I can just imagine the beautiful works you could have done with engraving six guns and rifles of the very best quick draw cowboys. Amazing work.
Holy crap this video was good and I watch RUclips all the time and I can’t say that very often this makes me wanna do the same thing! And also make a song just to go with the hammer! Like crap man I’m kinda stunned even if you’re not the most professional chiseler lol I still have to give props where props are deserved!
My exact sentiments. Most enjoyable video I've ever watched. Don't get the naysayers at all. You are true craftsman. Thank You
When drilling such large holes or any holes use a thin oil for cooling and lubrication. I will often use oil on saw blades as well stopping to add oil every 10-15 seconds or so for both applications.
A sharp tool doesn't want friction to cut and oil keeps your tools sharp and hard to cut.
Your chisels and files don't move fast enough to get the benefits but saws and drills do. Although chalk is used to lubricate files under heavy use.
Hi Bubba, your the best show on tv. Your work is always great and your personality even better. God bless you young man. (Old guy from Arkansas)🇺🇸
Damn fine hammer you have there sir.
A dwarf could not have made a better hammer
They don't like being called dwarfs. A midget.
They've been called dwarves ever since Aulë and Ilúvatar created the first seven.
Ragnarok!
That's racist... He could if he was an engraver and had tools with his proportions!
We’ll see about that. (rolls a d20 on skill check)
Recently, I’m interested in hand engraving on the metal, then I found this video.
Beautiful work!!
I don't even need a hammer... and I WANT this one with a burning passion! Gorgeous engraving!!
If I could make such a beautiful tool like that, I think I would have a hard time bringing myself to actually use the damn thing. haha
I most outstanding work I have seen in awhile handcraft at its best
The closest I've seen to Dwarven craftsmanship without actually being one. Beautiful work.
Stunning work!
My husband and I really enjoy watching you work. We use power tools in our shop, but are so impressed with your skills!
This is really awesome
Thank you! That is a great deal coming from a great craftsmen such as yourself.
Hay Nick, maybe you could try your hand at something similar. Or a three way collaboration, making hand tools you turn some swish resin/wood Handel's ( maybe do a wood engraving )
Alec make the metal part. And Uri do the assembly and engrave something cool. ??
The song at the end though!😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
You're so cool! God bless!😁

Beautiful skills, very interesting video : thanks for sharing your time and knowledge !!!
Obviously the hammer head is amazing. But I also love the simplicity of the handle. It is a unique handle that completes the hammer without taking away from the head. Beautiful job!
I agree with you.
"If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening, all over this land...."
Sir this is some of the finest craftsmanship I have ever had the pleasure to watch. Besides the drill holy shit man all hand tools! Incredible- hats off 👍👍👍
WOW ,that is really beautiful . Very talented engraving.I don't think I could hit anything with THAT hammerhead.
That's the kind of hammer you would take to meet your parents.
That turned out beautiful Uri, Keep your chisels sharp and I’ll look forward to the next one. Cheers!
Thanks brother, now i know what real engraving is, its because of you, i will try it myself
Wow. I think this is the most rare hammer: “Stock removal hammer.” I like it.
Thanks! "Stock Removal Hammer" - that should have been the title of this video :)
Uri Tuchman no I like your title you “nailed” it.😀
Is no one going to mention the unique teleportation skills of his magical nail and hammer at 14:31 ? I mean that requires some skill am i right 😂
You're the new Roger Vieillard !
Thank you for your work

Thanks! I really enjoyed making this one.
Not to mention that it was free-hand.
You do realize he's not working your job right? I'm sure this little hammer will suit him just fine for the applications he is using it for.
I THINK HE THE CARPENTER LIKE THE JESUS CHRIST. SO THE HAMMER THE SUFFICIENT.

Subbed and will be working my way through your videos over Christmas as a gift to myself. Very interesting to watch and hopefully I can learn something from you about engraving as it's a skill I'd love to learn. Atb.

Duck Man That's like a name for a fantasy thrilogy.
Made by The Smashimals.
Such a beautiful tool! The whole process of production feels like meditation. I love your calm and peaceful way. Thank you for the video. Extra props for the song at the end
well done buddy looked awesome . have you ever thought about gun bluing . there is a home made cold process thats safe . with hydrogen peroxide and vinegar . basically you let it rust then boil it in hot water to stop the rusting . after wards it leaves a nice blueish look to the metal . you might have to do this a few times to get the color you want . but there is also chemical cold bluing you can use as well . might work better then paint buddy . any way good luck god bless
Можно увидеть в RUclips, визуально по ссылкам, предложенные Вами методы травления?(You can see on RUclips, visually on the links, the methods of etching proposed by you?)
how the heck do you make such straight lines? even with a pattern.... engraving is damn hard.
Practice. Also, the straightness of a line is a lie, and smaller gaps are more forgiving than longer ones. I have done a lot of work that looks nice, until you looks at exact angles. As they say, an artist sees all their own flaws. Can't be too critical if yourself.
Ich hätte es als eine wahre Wohltat angesehen, hättest du dem Griff auch noch eine Gravierung gegeben. Trotz alledem, absolut fabelhaft!
"Let's make a hammer"
Sure let me bring all my stuff
no, first we make all the stuff we need 😂😂
Love the goofy House of the Rising Sun parody at the end ㅋㅋㅋ
When I first saw the hammer I was looking at Lazer etching and thought yours was so. But I am now be side my self with wonder at your amazing talent and craftsman ship.
I will never ever have your skills and lasers don't even come close.🧐😁
lovely beautiful awesome
This is crazy! "Shut up and take my money!" xD
I came here from the link nick zammeti put on one of the videos i watched , so glad i did , awesome work , i was in awe watching u ingrave nevermind actually making your own hammer
Hey dumb question, I'm a starter at this but I don't know what tools 2buy....is there a list or can u make a list of the tools u used for this?
Yes, a list please!🖋🗒
Must Not be a "Dumb Question" He can't seem to Answer It.
....Even After 2 Weeks and 14 People That Want To Know!
I Never Sub to Channels That Will Not Answer a Good Question!
@@huntingtonbeachsasquatch I kno right.....it just goes to show that ppl don't want to "give up there secrets".....can't lie VERY DISAPPOINTING
The wood tools are just basic files, chisels, handsaws, and a planer. The engraving tools are equally basic.
There's no secrets here at all, just very very basic tools that it would take less than a minute to learn about by doing a google search or by watching a tutorial video.
It would be way more beneficial to actually watch or read a tutorial on it. You aren't going to learn anything by just knowing what tools he used, and if he were to explain each one's use he'd basically be writing an entire tutorial - which would take a lot of time to do.
It would be a major waste of his time, and not to mention this video is two months old.
If you're serious about woodworking or engraving, or even not serious about it and just want to dabble, go watch some videos explaining the basics. There's hundreds out there. Good luck.
1. This comment was posted 2 months after the video was uploaded
2. You're basically asking him to write a tutorial on basic woodworking and engraving tools when you could just look up tutorial videos, which would be infinitely more helpful
3. Again, him telling you what tools he uses (they are very basic tools) are not going to be helpful to you unless he explains what each tool is used for and how to use it - so a waste of his time and yours
And really, it's not his job to answer questions at all - especially on old videos asking for info that can be found by doing basic research and learning for yourself.
Don't act so entitled, go read a book or watch a video explaining what tools you need to use - and then if you want to know what specific models or brands he uses, then you can ask him.
