Wow, that hammer went from being a rust color, to grey, to black and silver. Cool. You really did justice to this old ball peen hammer. Not many hammers have a black locust wood handle. Ty for a great video!
“As you can see the rust is very aggressive” - me who is not seeing anything “absolutely, look that damages, poor hammer” I just found your channel yesterday and I am addicted to your videos now (already subscribed)
Freshly blasted steel oxidizes very quickly, much quicker than the sanded surface will, so it isn’t as crazy as is appears to blue it to protect against rust and then sand the bluing off 😂😂
welp, u can think about it as applying the bluying to halt current exposure, afterwards the surface being sanded and polished and oiled has protective effect, alhtough funny at first glance, its somewhat logical to do that, he isnt restoring it in 2 minutes, it takes some days, and you wouldnt want to let it catch rust again or things, cuz sanded metal rusts again very easily, wouldnt you?
You were really able to hammer your point home in that video and your ideas hit the nail right on the head , everything was handled very well and I can see you are a polished craftsmen who has been able to work out the ruff spots and wedge your way in for success ..... great work!!!!!
This is the sort of hammer that you find in a master craftsman’s shop. Came for the work, left admiring the workmanship, especially with all the replies you give on these comments!
The most impressive part of this restoration is shaping the black locust wood handle BY HAND. This is an extremely dense and hard wood, nearly classifiable as an iron wood (sinks in water). Working this raw piece into a beautiful handle with minimal power tool assistance is testament to Mr. Cool's commitment to detail and work ethic.
that was my dads hammer we lost it in 64 while building a pigeon coop just outside Glasgow well it looks like it! really it does lol turned out real nice in the end well done
I love this so much. I like the restoration of the metal but I love when you make the wooden handles. They are all so gorgeous and obviously lovingly made. Such a beautiful tool!
To fully restore the metal with a store handle simply creates another nice hammer. But you preserved some of the history, and gave it a special handle with special wood. That hammer is a work of art, my friend. I watch your ads to help you bring more restorations. Keep up the unique work. - Frank P.S. Bring back the laser. 😎
Those were probably the first nails that hammer has driven in over fifty years. Good on you for giving it a second life. I'd be proud to have that hammer in my hand. Kudos.
Really nice piece, but when it comes to the handles of impact tools I think it’s best for the grain to be at a 45 degrees angle off center. It really prevents the tool’s handle from splitting with the gain during impact. Something this small might not immediately be prone to it, but a grain of 45 degrees could really give more life to the handle. I really like the hammer restoration though!
I recently put on a new hatchet handle made from the core of a very dense sloe brush stem, figuring such tight annual rings ought to be strong. Correct guess or boo-boo?
Excellent work! That’s a beautiful hammer. I also enjoy restoring hammers, but you take it to the next level. That is some absolutely gorgeous wood that you made your handle from. I also like the contrast between the polished faces and the corroded areas from which the rust roughened it up. Again, beautiful work!!
This is an old-timer ball peen hammer that's getting revamped. It's understandable that our brand new ball peen hammer handles are made out of tungsten steel and rubber. What about our new welding tools? 🔨 😳 👏 🤣 😂 👌 🔨
What a transformation!!! Good quality steel and great talent!!! Multiple skills yielding incredible results!!! You did a great job!! I enjoy doing amateur restorations… I found a WW2 shovel with a metal detector. I was able to save the blade and got a replacement handle. It’s the shovel I use when I go metal detecting now. Great job!!! The Old Army Scout…
I have always wanted to turn a lil ball peen hammer like this into a survival hatchet. Great restoration, love how you left the pitting. A grizzled old war horse deserves to keep his honorable scars. And I love the gray of steel with no recycled content. Blues out so perfectly.
Thank you for your beautiful presentation of the steps and tools used to artfully restoring a hammer that most would have tossed. You turned it into a beautiful tool!
You turned that old rusty piece of metal into a superb looking ball peen hammer complete with custom handle. You are a master craftsman! I love your videos. 🤗🇦🇺
Very nice resto, the handle is particularly good, well done! Even though you put quite a bit of work into this piece, I'm not sure how it would be worth $80-$100. I have restored well over a dozen hammer heads of various types and have a drawer full to go. I either use them as intended as hammers, or more than likely just use the heads as forms when working metal. Change the shape of the surfaces and presto, anew form. I don't try to sell them because no one cares how much work one puts into restoring it, it's just a hammer. Hammers are cheap.
These type of videos are not only about the restoration process . Obvious this hammer is way expensive to restore than to buy one . It is because people like and love to see these type of videos , they are ASMR and are very satisfying
Of course i want it. For a moment there I thought you were going to burn the handle like everybody else seems to be doing at the moment. Glad you didn't.

The ball peen hammer was designed to hammer and shape metal not drive nails. But that is being nit picky because in the end it is a hammer and can do it. Great job Brother!! That is a beautiful restoration!!! I would love to own it!!
Needed to make a test and I was sure after that I want to polish that face and was more easy to polish that part,instead of the ball part. That’s why I didn’t make it the right test 😎👍🏼👍🏼thanks for your support 🍻

Cool to see black locust used for something other than fence posts and firewood! Besides being extremely tough and rot resistant, it's really beautiful.
