There’s a picture of just some random hammers I picked out to start with, a couple of Streamline, Fairmount, and Proto.
I’ll start out with this odd Streamline hammer, it’s big it’s heavy and it has by far the large working face of any body hammer I own, plus I’ve never seen another one like it. As you can see it started out rusty and the face was dinged up and pitted.
Somehow I missed the progress pictures of wire wheeling and dressing the faces, but here I am fitting the new handle to the semi finished hammer head. At this point its wire wheeled and dressed with 400 grit from the bench grinder. Once am done fitting the handle I’ll start sanding the faces with finer grit paper working up to 2000 grit. If you notice on the handle I scribbled a F with an arrow pointing. This is so when am fitting the handle I can keep the same orientation of the hammer head and handle.
