Adam puts his new die filer to use in today's One Day Build of a small thwacker hammer! Starting with a beautiful piece of koa wood for handle and brass for the head, Adam works around the shop using his table saw, lathe, and mill, all producing wonderful shop sounds. But this is also a build that doesn't require heavy machinery, and could be done with hand tools. Let's watch this lovely little thwacker come together!

Kinda ironic that in the making of a "thwacker" how many times you needed another "thwacker" to complete the job.
Now technically it ain't a wedge if you didn't grind into one. In terms of wire on the handle, I think it would help. I have a tiny ball peen hammer from my grandfather that he repaired that way in ??? the 30's and it is still going. Though you are right that the head of the hammer is a but large for the handle so? It looks great and if it breaks you get to remake it better! I may be off because newer glues etc. but my experience is that CA glue doesn't do well with impact things. It is so hard and brittle. Again this is not a hammer that is going to have a lot of swing speed and that "wedge" has got the wood smashed against the brass so it ain't goin nowhere.
What's a steam fitter's hammer? Google no help.
The handle is definitely too thin. I was thinking that from the beginning and when you said it broke from just dropping it on the ground.....WTF? In fact, you should have committed to remaking an entirely new handle right there on the spot and included that in the video. This just feels like an unfinished project.
Adam you should always start with a wooden wedge. That way if the head comes loose you can then use a steel one to tighten it back up.
Adam: I lost my little thwacker
Also Adam: uses like 5 little thwackers in the process of making a new one
Yes, but when you have 15 little thwackers, and you lose one, you REALLY NEED that 15th thwacker...
It's specifically for the mill, after all.
I know *I* have multiple copies of tools permanently placed for specific uses, because otherwise, you can never find them.
I need a hammer so I can make a hammer! 😭
Oh, right! His book states everything is a hammer. 🤔
How to make a spoon:
Step 1: take a plastic spoon and cut the head off.
@@Reksrat - well of course - you need the plastic spoon to make the sand mold to pour the metal spoon...
I guess it's a "you don't really own it until you made it yourself" kinda deal...
The ENTIRE time I kept thinking "thats an awfully thin handle for that much brass".
SAME! I was thinking that handle is far too thin and was gonna break actually hitting anything with it... and a few minutes later, the prediction came true
So did we all.
Exactly :)
Everyone’s first thought when he cut the hole in the head... “that’s not gonna work”
Same here....🙄🤷🏼♂️😂
"Seems pretty straightforward, let's see what problems we can invent along the way shal we!" Could I get that on a tee-shirt? 😂😂
I'd buy that shirt
I’d buy it!!!
I’d buy it
These are just good words to live by
I'd buy that for a dollar
I’ve been watching Adam Savage since I was a young teen watching mythbusters and then I found him on RUclips with his wonderful “one day builds” and have been watching that for a few years now. All I keep wondering is, will I be watching a 95 year old Adam building wonderful things. God I hope so
"It seems pretty straight forward, lets find out what problems we can invent on the way"
Thats the way to stay possitive.
lol , that is the best approach with any project
Reminded me of the old adage: "Failure is always an option"
Sounds like me and my dad working on projects, “You’ve gotta have a plan, otherwise how will you know what you’re deviating from?”
Another t-shirt quote right there.
My mind every morning.
The sheer amount of content coming out the last few weeks, love it!
No one else is giving this amount of content.
@@skathiri2608 Simon Whistler!
He's trying to stay sane
@@skathiri2608 Well, there have been daily vloggers for ages.
stmounts ha! Simon whistler owns RUclips!! How many channels does he have now?
Everyone: That handle is way too thin but I guess Adam knows what he is doing...
Adam a few minutes later: Oops, I made it too thin.
😋
The thin handle's low weight makes it nice that it sits up on its face like that, but I wish he'd flattened the top into another balance face after gluing and wedging!
As a paperweight, nice! As a thwacker, fail!
I don't think he knows what he's doing.
"ow thats hot" - every metalworker in history atleast once a day
I was amazed he has fingerprints...
True.
The shop i work for had the brilliant idea of locking all the inserts in a cabinet with a fingerprint lock. People keep having to find someone with a good fingerprint left that hasn't been burned or cut up.
Well rule of thumb is probebly factor 3 when it comes to fulltime welders😁
@@bascelissen9968 welding shop I work at has us all clock in and out with a finger print scanner............... You can imagine how long it takes
Happy that the One Day Builds have continued throughout this time of isolation. Gives everyone something to watch and enjoy during time at home!
Thank you! Comments like these really mean a lot to us.
@@tested Royal we, or is the production team still involved heavily in this? Obviously the camera work is all Adam now, but direction? Editing?
@@tested I assume that you mean "comments like these" meaning that everyone commented and saw what a piece of crap was made and uploaded.
@@klefdnb That is a valid opinion and position to take, though not a commonly accepted one. I do not share it and quite enjoyed the creation process, but acknowledge that other people have their own views and is important to respect them accordingly.
@@woozleboy I'm a big fan of Adam. But on this one lets agree to disagree. The whole episode just felt 'off' to me.
Adam: "Now let me stain this Koa."
Woodworkers not even watching this video: "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror."
When he pulled out the stain I reacted like the people in that series "Don't F**k with cats."
Such a pretentious lot
Sometimes you really have to wonder with this guy.
...and then suddenly silenced.
yeah i was like "you've already got this beautifully coloured wood, just put some BLO on it or polyurethane, why you using a stain?"
Adam: I really like my wood lathe and wish I could use it more.
*makes wooden handle with bandsaw and files*
This is the comment I was looking for. Why on earth would one not use a wood lathe for this build?
I think he was going for an oblong shape and while possible with a lathe, this way offers more control.
Yeah, an oblong shape lets your hand know if you're holding it right without you looking.
Regarding the oblong .. I would start with a round handle on the lathe, then bring it into oblong with the sander or what not.
Thats because he injured his hand on the lathe, and he likely wont use it for a while
I wonder if he puts a scale up to his tattoo to make sure its within spec every once in a while 🤣. I just love these videos!
And when it's not, he cuts himself to size
Read from another guy with a similar tattoo, that it was still within 2mm correct after several years (for an inch ruler). They are obviously not meant for perfect meassurements, so that would be fine.
28:55
Gravity is always the strongest near the edge of the bench.
Me: "That Koa must be super strong to allow for such a thin handle."
Floor: "Nope!"
My exact thought..won't last long...not even until project finish :)
I was anxious the whole time kept on thinking I'm no woodworker, but that handle might be too skinny. Saying to myself please don't break, please don't break.
It was obvious it's not gonna hold. Adam has to make new, better handle for that thing.
I thought so too, maybe a tiny steel rod throug for support, but honestly the head was so heavy brass, Adam should have known better, no evil meant.
@@MsCrystallizee Agreed, but Adam is very well known for his impatience and he often does stuff like this........even when he knows it's a mistake. As soon as I saw how thin that neck was I thought, "the first time that hits the floor (as tools are wont to do) that neck is going to break). Now, if he were to wrap it tightly with wetted leather, that neck may have been strong enough to withstand the test of time.
The bits of metal shavings thrown up by the die filer in slow motion was just *chef’s kiss beautiful.
Watching Adam build stuff and randomly potter around his workshop is so soothing.
23:58 - Another option to the off-center lines (aside from living with it as a nice bit of "character" in the piece) is to duplicate each one on the opposite side. Now there are two pairs!
YES! Great minds think alike!
I like the cut of your jib.
"I need a small hammer, let's make one!"
Produces two small hammers during the making of the small hammer
yes, but those weren't the mill designated small hammers
"Excuse me hero, but I lost my hammer in some dungeon, could you get it back?" said the blacksmith as he was hammering some pieces of metal. "Oh, you already found my hammer? Thank you. here, have this hammer" then, as you leave his shop, another adventurer comes in, and you hear "excuse me hero, but I lost my hammer in some dungeon, could you get it back?"
I love watching Adam work. Especially when he does the thing we all do, when we get all prepared, everything planned out, then when you're about to hit the mark, the wedge/bolt/nut/washer/nail, it falls on the floor.
Is it just me, or is everyone else loving the new videos from pretty much everyone on youtube right now having to basically vlog their stuff? I just think that a crazy thing
I came for Adam, I stayed for the comments about staining koa
Yeah it isn't THAT huge a sin, but I can't stop myself talking about it. I'll stop now.
Same but with the glue
30:15 "Classic. Classic!" Oh the Murphy's Laws from uncentered lines, dropping the wedge when trying to hammer it in, and then breaking the handle make all of us who do projects feel validated because of our experiences with these little things and big things going wrong. Thank you, Adam, for showing your humanity.
Instantly felt better with myself after this video.
No one makes mistakes like an expert.
Expertise is need for advanced mistakes, with years of experience a person learns what not to do by making simple mistakes. Over time the mistakes evolve just as the creator does. The exception to this rule is self injury: it doesn't care how experienced you are, you can still hurt yourself horribly if are not mindful of safety precautions (lathe = case + point). In all my years of caregiving it's when someone's attention wanes that the really horrible things happen.
This dude has been training his whole entire life for this Quarantine... very impressive...I would bet you he has the most functional shop in America... I bet you could make anything in that space... something to truly admire...
Anything? No.
I am charmed and delighted by this sweet little thwacking hammer
"Whosoever holds this thawacker, if he/she be worthy, shall possess the power of Adam."
"and shall re-break it upon drop."
Don't use steel wedges! Makes it a pain in the arse to remove and reset without damaging the handle to fix issues later on down the road. Use wooden wedges.. If an issue comes up, you can either wedge another wood wedge 90 degrees crossed to the first, or drill out the old one easy.
He glued it! I don't think it matters anymore what type of wedge! ( Dry fit handle with wood wedge is BEST)
@@GrayRaceCat you could drill out a wooden wedge a lot easier though if things go wrong
@@leckshe2405 you usually don't have to remove a wood wedge, just add a second wedge 90 degrees to the first.
Also, there are no good close ups, but didn't he drive the wedge in at 90 degrees to the wood grain? Not that it makes much difference given all the other issues, but...
Addint file sound during the timelapses is so much better than music. Thank you for doing that
You do realize that you are absolutely KILLING me by not using that beautiful piece of koa to make an ukulele. :-)
I love that “bootstrap” moment at 7:43 I run into so often. In the process of making a tool, you come to a step where the tool you’re making would really be ideal.
Me yelling at the screen like a 4 year old watching Blue's Clues:
"It's right THERE on the VICE!"
(vise*)
4 years old and still watching blues clues?
@@ThomasPerezGhost In the UK...*vice!
@@Stoufferthecat Wait, really? TIL...
@@realkushman uhhh. Yeah?
I love that almost every video I watch of these Adam has a different finger crudely bandaged
I don't care what Adam is doing (although it's always interesting) because he just makes me happy even on the worst days 💕 Genuinely just a good soul, his existence is gold 😭
Me: "Yes, I'm looking for a thwacker and a wedgie-poo."
Lowe's employee: "Please leave."
the bastards!
0:09 "I am existing right now in a *palace* of tools"
Same here Adam
"a Palace of tools" sounds like the most passive aggressive thing to call a place. "I had to go to the County Tax Assessor's Office in City Hall, that place is a Palace of Tools."
THAT IS THE BEST TATTOO! I NEED ONE! You will never need a ruler again!
Using the bandsaw offcuts of the handle to duplicate the curve on the rest of the handle is the smartest thing I’ve seen all week.
That's a nice manually operated percussive swing press.
Manually operated, optically guided inertial impact delivery device!
Outstanding!
Aaron Bernstein designed for percussive shocking
Looks at thumbnail
"You're gonna break that little handle.."
Not disappointed
Pretty obvious from the beginning.
I got more and more anxious the thinner that handle got. In the end it almost became a toothpick....and it broke like a toothpick.
So it wasn't just me?!? lol Not much Thwack to it if I do say so myself.. lol
As a wood snob I was SUPER happy when you said koa!
Adam and Jamie are easily two of my favourite human beings.....if, indeed they are 100% human.......
3:26 is a big mood, if I'm allowed to use that terminology at my age. I love it. If you don't invent some problems to solve in your straightforward projects, then they're just not _rewarding_ enough.
Look for Adam Savage’s follow up book “every tool’s a thwacker”.
And the companion guide titled “every thwacker’s little”.
The one time I tried spreading cyanoacrylate with my finger I glued it to the piece of glass I was trying to repair.
Now I put on gloves before I open the super glue.
the pure serotonin i get from "little thwacker" is astounding
30:10 yeah saw that coming a mile away with a heavy brass head and that thin of a handle. If not the fall it would have eventually given out just from general use.
Absolutely, a hammer needs a strong handle and it needs to be cut from suitable wood, there is a reason that hickory and ash are favoured for handles
I was watching him cut it and said to my self "id have made that thicker but im no expert...how long till it snaps"... gutted for him though
I was thinking through most of the build how strange it was to see such a delicate handle on a hammer. But then I do tend to abuse even small ones.
I agree. Really strange: I think everybody who’s ever even just *used* a hammer could see that coming. When he drew the shape of the handle I though “that’s really short, it’ll look fat and stubby” - then I realised how thin the handle was going to be: far too fragile for the weight of the head, no matter how strong this type of wood may be. I’m baffled, because clearly Adam is neither stupid nor inexperienced - it’s a weird mistake to make.
@@ThisOldPanda Right! I was like that is very thin for a hammer handle but I guess Adam knows something I don't!
One good thing about these days is that we are getting more and more amount of great content
Ilya from That Works and lego builders have taught me an appreciation for very small hammers.
Thanks for showing the "Fail" by dropping the hammer and splitting the handle (and repair). It helps us mortals to realize this happens to the Pro's also.
I’m so happy to see Adam using the lathe even after his accident. It can always be scary to use a tool after getting hurt by it. Great to see you back at it!
What happened?
Kyle Marshall...Like riding a motorcycle that throws you the F**k off get back on n do your stuff :)
@@graemebrumfitt6668 Yup. My first dump threw my confidence for a while. I tipped my sisters motorcycle by pulling the clutch too far making a Uturn and obviously it shitwhipped me into the ground and I cracked my collarbone and burned my leg pretty bad.
A year and a half later and I ride my own motorcycle like it's physically attached to me! I mastered slow speed maneuvering and I'm very proud of my clutch control now!
Getting back up and keeping trying is very important! Confidence is hard enough to manage, but once it's shaken... it can easily be gone forever.
Being afraid of something can make it more dangerous if you use it wrong or are too tense and scared.
Just keep trying!

Here ya go!
It's cool seeing Adam without the camera crew, he's just like any other small time DIY youtuber
I hope the one day builds continue with just Adam for most of the time
But you can tell Adam knows what he's doing. The lighting, camera work, scripting, and delivery are all pro-grade skill, and that shines through even when he is doing it himself with the same gear the rest of us use. Even This Old Tony muffs a shot sometimes.
El it’s just as good without the crew. I often feel like some of the professional shots and music are excessive. This is a nice authentic way of making a video.
@@crafty1098 He used to do (and sometimes still does) stuff for movies so he knows the works.
Don't forget though that Adam has the skills and knowledge to get a full-time job in many of the roles (camera man, sound man, editor, grips etc) in just about any TV or film production. Not as the lead mind, I don't want to overstate it, but certainly as a member of the crew, outside of the front of camera role. Take his pioneering work using drones for photography, as an example.
Ever since seeing another video of yours where you spoke so highly of emery boards, I bought a load of double sided ones and will never again be without them in my workspace! The 120/220's are perfect for cleaning up 3D prints as well as laser cut projects!!!
Adam it is incredible to hear you speak. It's like you've seen directly into my subconscious and said exactly what my brain thinks in the abstract. You've been an inspiration of mine for years, even way back when I was a little 5-year-old watching Mythbusters, and seeing someone like me doing what I want to do is huge for me as a young maker. Thanks for the great content!
Little tip about edge finders, you can zero on one side, move to the other and use the 1/2 function on your DRO then move to zero. This way you don’t need to know the exact size of your work.
So true much less room for error and he can actually use the DRO. Also you don't have to know the thickness of the edge finder
20:57 I like the man who enjoy what he’s good at
Was hoping to find this time stamp in the comments. You did not disappoint lol.
Yong me too lol, was gunna post if no one else did
The money shot
*I would love to see Adam completely empty the shop and organize it from scratch... that could make for an EPIC series.*
the irony of needing a "little thwacker" three times during this build was not lost on me lol i also find it amazing looking around Adams shop to see all the "set pieces" hanging in the background and realizing how many great movies he has been involved in. thank you Adam Savage for all that you have taught me over the years
I'd love to see you remake the handle. You could use it as an opportunity to elongate the hole in the head to make it centered.
I recognize your favorite thwacker, its a hammer tool, specifiy for use with stamps to 'tap' patterns into leather; the handle is perfectly formed so it functiongs like a upside down pendulum amd you can keep tapping on the stamp/leather with a lot of control amd minimum effort for a prolonged time :).
You should try leatherworking adam!
Perhaps for a cosplay ;).
Especially the rubbing where all efforts get their contrast is a step you will love ^^
the number of hammers and hammer-like objects he used to make ANOTHER hammer astounds me
Adam, your bunker videos are really great !! You shoot angles that allow us to better understand what you're doing. Not to take away anything from the crew that documents your work normally. Just saying you're doing a great job at it yourself !
“Where’d the little piece go?” Should be the motto for builders.
Detent pins on an AR-15. Teeny tiny and they shoot off never to be seen again. Thankfully most lower parts kits come with a spare lol
That was me today building model kit. Only saving grace was dark part, light floor.
Actually, it unofficially is their motto
“Owe,thats hot!” . Who else laughed ? Even Adam had a chuckle in the next shot! Nice to know that kind of stuff doesnt just happen to me😂👍
Yeah I do it all the time as well, but it’s hard to grab red hot metal haha
Somebody looks pleased with themselves... and so you should! 👍
I need the convincer, simplistic beauty represented in a handy tool.
take a shot every time Adam says "thwacker"
Bonus shots for "wedgie poo", "loosy-goosy" and "little thwacker"!
What a lovely day to die of alcohol poisoning.
I would, but the captions can't figure out that word! LOL
So you can drink alcohol free shots, or 100 proof water..
Janne Johansson Then it’s not a drinking game...it’s just lame.
Marge: "Homer, are you sure you're not coming to church?"
TV: "Coming up next: Make your own Hammer!"
Homer: "Very sure."
Am I the only one who wants to see the fast forward parts of the video have matching audio so I can hear Adam's voice get all squeaky and such? Speeding up and slowing down audio is a amusement I will never grow tired of.
That ruler on your arm is how I can tell your a hardcore maker just like I wanna be! Oh that and the walls and boxes filled to the brim with tools and materials
i love the way the subtitles kept not understanding "thwacker" and putting in almost ANY other word it thought was close. that was fun. 8P
I miss the whole mythbusters crew. My favorite show of all time. I still watch it on hulu. Jamie, Adam, Tory, Grant, and Kari always bring a smile to my face. Still love to see adam work though
Jamie ? Really.
Ok Boomer, lol.
Adam building things makes this crazy shit bearable. Thanks, Adam.
The algorithm has been trying to feed me this all day. Think it was a little thwacker didn't get me where I live, but I like short videos, but it was about twice as long as my attention span. Adam's always entertaining and I have been worn down over the 24 hours. I bid you adieu!
New from Tested: Adam’s book but a children’s version. Every Tool is a Twacker
I tend to lathe my handles, then go back, and do any shaping I need after. That said, I also like rounder/curvier handles, but that’s just me.
I try to stay away from round handles as I like to know what direction the hammer head is in relation to the handle.
@@dunch1988 I turn them larger than I want them and narrow 2 sides before I mate them to the head.
You are a living legend and an inspiration!
The convencer with its open bottom leads me to belive it would be a great hammer tool to keep in my truck camping tool bag. Sign me up for one.
loving all the new camera angles on this one. WTG Adam!
Oswald Reyes his skills are progressing at a massive rate for such a new RUclipsr. 😂
@2:20: Adam is the kind of guy to randomly buy wood on Ebay lol.
eBay is a great source for smallish, single pieces of nice and/or rare wood. (edit:) However, the one thing you don’t do is buy a piece of rare wood for its character, then stain it to walnut. Shaking my head.
You don't? 🤷♂️
What is wrong with people. 🙄
😂🤣😂✌✌👍👍
Yeah, I find it hilarious that he not only randomly buys pieces of wood on Ebay, but he buys expensive pieces of rare woods known for their visual character and beauty which are usually used in expensive furniture and custom handmade instruments...and paints them the color of a piece of wood you could buy at Home Depot, right now, for like $20. He seems to understand why people like certain pieces of wood more than others, and why they are correspondingly worth more money, but somehow despite being a very, very intelligent person, that's apparently where the understanding stops.
I've done it. For certain woods like apple, the wood is plentiful but it is hard to find readily available turning blanks. Growers often sell pieces which can be used that way, and ebay is perfect for small one-off orders like that.
Just... please don't buy a rare expensive wood and then give it a cheap crappy stain job. If you want walnut, the blanks are like five bucks or less. Koa would have been so beautiful with just BLO or something similar. Staining it, or God help us, painting it? That's like something Vogons do when they aren't sitting on baby deer or smashing jeweled crabs.
@@crafty1098 Yep. I often see pieces of cherry on eBay, which is very suitable for cooking utensils.
In machining school I made a little thwacker. It was a turned, gnarled, tapered handle, with a course screw thread on the end. The head was steel in the center that I turned and cupped on both sides and drilled and tapped in the middle. Then I turned two heads for it one was aluminum the other some form of delrin plastic, joined by some threaded holes and studs I made from a bolt. Works fantastic for mill setups and assembly because the aluminum and delrin don't scratch most surfaces.
As a wood worker who routinely uses CA finishes on things like Pens and Keychains you 100% can use accelerator on it as you're applying the finish. I use thin consistency for the first layer or two and then medium until I'm happy with the thickness of the finish. Apply it on the lathey with a high quality shop towel then hit it with some kicker, wait a few seconds do a light sand and repeat.
I love you Adam! You are keeping me sane and between uploads, I've been watching mythbusters to hold out!
That disk sander running away in the background is giving me anxiety.
I love it.
It's off, takes a long time for them to stop.
This reminds me of my Dad's infamous "Two-thou Hammer" that he's had since he was an engineering apprentice.
It's a copper hammer that he maintains; "No matter what you're hitting, or how hard you hit it, it will ALWAYS move it two-thousandths of an inch", haha!
Our metalworking teacher had what he called his "anointed hammer" for centering/aligning etc.
I’m 23 years old and I’m wanting to be a silversmith, you have shown me how hard and complicated something simple can be in the process of making it. Thank you mr.savage
I showed my wife Adam's ruler tattoo. Her response was that if he put on weight all his projects would grow!
Did you explain to her that arms don't get longer when people put on weight?
Would that help with his cosplay. His props are always too big anyway.
Netflix: “Are you still watching?”
Someone’s daughter: 12:13
A trick I learned for working with CA glue: Apply CA to one of your parts and activator to the other. When you bring the two together, they set almost instantly, you just have to be quick and accurate.
I never realised how much I needed a little baby thwacker! Just got one to tap in small dovetails as my 2lb deadblow would be overkill... and I never realised how much everyone needs a little twacker 😁
never heard a hammer called a 'convincer', we call them 'persuaders' around my area lol
I think this is the only time adam DIDNT think of something that everyone else did. Cmon A-bomb
The sound editing is so much better
That little hammer he shows looks like my burnishing hammer that I have for my silversmithing - although his is 1000% times more beautiful!
Adam: "Machinists of RUclips, I realize that's not the best way to drill a straight hole."
Machinists of RUclips: "DON'T WEAR JEWELRY IN THE SHOP!"
Woodworkers of RUclips: "DON'T STAIN KOA."
whatever you do DON'T look up 'finger avulsion'!
@@GrayRaceCat They call it "Un-gloving"
@@mzaite It was a nod to Jimmy Fallon. When he injured his left ring finger 1 or 2 years ago he told the audience "whatever you do, DO NOT Google 'finger avulsion'!" So of course I did ! (I already knew what I would find, an uncle lost a finger due to a ring) Some very graphic photos!
I said it even before his accident, i really have a hard time watching him use those machines...on top of that he used them alone...the revs alone make me cringe....he´s really no machinist at all.
My 3 years old son ( Adam ) wake up and the first thing he said i want to watch Adam ( Savage ) making a hammer..and that just made my day
Adam, with your fancy new filing machine you could have given the handle socket a slight hourglass shape. Then taper the shank of the handle to match and slot it to half depth of the hole. After installing, driving a wooden wedge in the slot expands the top of the shank to match the hourglass socket, locking the head to the handle. A small barbed steel wedge is usually then driven 90deg across the wooden wedge to expand the shank in the longitudinal direction and lock it all together. Those barbs are commercially available hardware. I know, overkill for a little thwacker, but that's what you get for keeping me awake 'till the wee hours with these entertaining vids!!! Keep up the good work!
As he was carving the handle, I was going through the math in my head. "He's putting a pretty big brass head on that. He probably shouldn't make the neck so thin." Then at the end of the build, well, yeah.
>Going through the math
>"Head too bigge for necce"
Classic
13:00 table grinder in the background is running the whole time. :)
Thats to drown out the wife complaining
Custom handles I was always taught to take fine sand paper, and twist it back and forth where your natural grip is, the most subtle little curves for your hand make a huge difference. Much like stacked leather grips, they may not seem to be formed to most people but for the tradesman that uses it daily, you can feel it.
Adam!
