    You are a breathe of fresh air, the other tubers are just copying each other. You are not only an original,but are a master of the art. My favorite part is when you file everything to smoothness. Thank you so much!

    I came for the hammer restoration (which was awesome!) but rewound the dog scenes the most. Good looking pack.

    Thank you for doing this project which gave me an idea. My brother is a hind end machinist while I'm a woodturner. I found one of these on e-bay and stripped it down, removed all the rust, and repainted the casting in a Rustoleum 'hammered' spray paint finish. Instead of the wrapped leather facings, however, I turned two separate faces for 'my' version. One face from a piece of spalted maple and the other from an extremely hard wood called lignum vitae. I also turned a new handle from a piece of hickory. I finished all the wood in a tung oil finish and then gave it to my brother for his birthday. I thought it came out pretty well and he tells me it's a topic of conversation for anyone who visits his office. Again...thanks for the idea.

    I don't know how else to describe that hammer other than "sexy". In the past 30 minutes I have developed deep feelings for that multi-mallet. Fantastic work!

    YOU made it durable, you made it modular, you made it strong, you made it beautiful, you made it better than it was after factory! And all of these with the minimum possible use of power tools!!! I love it!!! Thanks for the treat! It will be a long life smasher and not only for fruits😉

    Your babies remind me of my beautiful black lab from back in the late 70's...his name was Bisco and I miss him dearly...I've never seen this type of hammer before...your renovation gives new meaning to the old saying that one man's trash is another man's treasure...Great Job👍🏽

    I found one of these hammers too! In a machine shop I work in. Fortunately my handle was still good. I bead blasted the entire hammer and turned down some copper for the faces in my hammer. It turned out really nice! I use it quite often now working on dies. Thanks for sharing!

    The hammer brought back some memories. I worked In a foundry and we did use these. Only when we re-lined the furnace or built a roof for it. The brick had to be in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. It would take two weeks to re-line the furnace and close to a week to build a roof.

    Outstanding job mate. I’ve never seen that copper patina technique before. Very interesting. Loved the way you finished the hammer, giving a nod to its age and the life it has had. I’ve also never seen so many spare handles anyone has collected before. They would come in very handy. Again, great work mate. Hope to see many more of this caliber. 🇦🇺👍

    I have two of these hammers. They come with a longer original handle. I replace the heads with dog bone rawhide I soak in water for a couple of days to soften it up. Works great. If you boil one of the bones, you get hide glue to glue it all together with.
