Re: My latest project(s) body hammer restoration

I won’t call this one a restoration more like getting a ladder out so it doesn’t fall the entire length of the tree. This sad hammer came in a package deal, am guessing the seller felt sorry for it or just wanted it gone. My first thoughts were WTF, what kind of butchers do this kind of stuff to tools, but like a sad puppy it grew on me. The more I looked at it and thought about it I really wanted to make this hammer shine again.




The day came for this hammer’s make over I was really looking forward to this hammer and then I found this and instantly my heart sank. A nice crack in the face, game over.

Well, came close to tossing it the dumpster but fixed her up instead. Not the prettiest girl at the dance but far better then showing up with your mom. Took it to the bench grinder and ground down til the crack was gone and wore out a 36 grit flap disc as well.
