I always enjoy your videos, regardless of the topic. Being a tool junkie myself, you can never have too many. Like you, I don't drink, smoke (that killed my Dad), or own a fancy car. I get more enjoyment out of going to flea markets and finding "treasures". I also like old stuff, like your tractor collection. My grandfather used to work for Hall-Scott as a machinist. He made a lot of his own wrenches, etc. He was also a blacksmith and made all his blacksmithing tools. I remember when I was about 10 or so (the late 1950s), I used to love to turn the crank on the blower that helped fire his forge. He could actually "weld" two pieces of metal together. Then my uncle got a Forney buzz box and they stick welding stuff from then on. Sorry for the rambling comment. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. As a novice to machining, we learn from those that have gone before us. You aren't that much older than I (I'm 66), but you have years of experience teaching students and continue to do so in your videos. Again, thank you so much for your channel and what you do! Regards, Dave

I'd love to see an expansion of this on the use of all non-steel hammers. Brass, rawhide, copper, plastic, rubber, lead, bronze, etc, and why you would use a particular one for a certain purpose as opposed to using the others. For example: when to not use lead and use rawhide instead; or plastic instead of brass.

Mr. Pete, Terrific video. I've been an auto mechanic for over 40 years and never was taught what the different metal hammers were for. Thank you for completing my knowledge at 63 years old! I love to collect tools, like you, and own a few hammers too. I found by trial and error and use a brass hammer on any machined work I may be working on but I discovered this on my own. I own some snap on dead blow hammers. I prefer using a regular steel or brass hammer. Snap On Dead blows are expensive and useless and yes they crack and fall apart. I am Snap On's best customer!! I spent a lot of money with that company. When doing heavy front end work you need a lot of energy transferred when separating ball joints and tie rods etc. These parts use a tapered joint. If give the very end of the joint a good wack or two carefully the joint will come loose. Swinging a big hammer accurately is an acquired skill. Tie rod and ball joint separator forks tear up the rubber boots and I hate using them. I have found more energy is evidently transferred using a regular 3 or 5 lb steel sledge hammer. My big expensive Snap On $100 dead blow hammer never works. Just thought I'd share with you. I've enjoyed watching over 100 or your video's so far and never get tired of watching them. You are a very skilled person. I notice your hands don't shake either. That is amazing at our age, your a few years older than me.

The safety maniacs just take the fun out of living from every other people around them, nothing to do with using good common sense and being care full. You would cry seeing the machines in certain schools those days, with all the safety boxes, shields, switches, guards and more, they even forbid the use of a file or sand paper instead of teaching the proper way to do it safely... I LOVE TOOLS, I never have enough... Thanks for sharing, Pierre

Those old dead blow hammers are all made by Stanley as the "compo-cast" hammer line. Those were the first dead blow hammers made. The one you have that is cracked is probably 30-40 years old. Like many plastics, they do not react well to UV light. If they sit in sunlight they deteriorate. I have some I use daily and they work very well. No idea why you want a lead hammer when you can buy a dead blow. Nostalgia I guess...

At least i'm not the only one in the world who is crazy about hammers ... ;-) If asked, i couldn't tell exactly how many i have. Must be several dozens. Some time after starting working in our company workshop, i introduced brass hammers there. "What's so special with them?" they asked me. After using them on punches, chisels and so on they stopped asking. Now at us no-one uses a steel hammer for that purpose anymore ... For years i'm making my hammers on my own, using mostly turned brass and aluminum. My handles are of ash, oak, and rubberwood. None of my handles ever broke. I use my aluminum hammers for positioning parts, where brass is too heavy. For i sometimes have kids in my workshop, i do not have any lead hammers. For the same reason i also will never have beryllium bronze tools, aside of their high prices.

Do you have an opinion on using wheel weights for casting a soft faced hammer? I've heard that antimony in the alloy makes wheel weights too hard for making cast bullets but several times over the years my favorite tire shop has given me half a bucket of them for casting spline weights or weighting grinder pedestals based of old truck rims. Its hard to beat free if the material is suitable.

For many years I worked in a large printing plan. In 1974 when I started there was a very large "hot metal" type setting dept. ( I was in the offset dept). In the 1980s hot metal gave way to computer generated paper type. The machinest was melting down the metal type so it could be sold, there was over 300 tons of the stuff. At that time I was the forman of offset press and ware housing. One day I noticed one of the 'floor sacats" shifted, I investigated concerned about safety. Was I supprised to find all of these underfloor spaces filled with type metal pigs. Literaly hundreds of them. Suddenly things got tense as those who had ferreted the pigs away thought that big problems were at hand. I was able to assure them that all I wanted was for them to evaporate. They were saved for the making of fishing weights for deep ocean fishing. There was enough metal to last till hell froze over. Silly me did not have them produce a bunch of lead hammers for me.

Most Linotype Metal was sold to those that cast bullets. Linotype Metal has tin and antimony in it to make it harder than lead

You can order a nifty lead hammer mold by Cook's from the McMaster-Carr catalog online. Search that site for "lead hammer mold".

Those 'Thor' copper insert hammers have replaceable faces. The inside bore of the tubular iron main head piece is coarse threaded but the inserts are supplied as plain cylindrical pieces. The iron heads tend to get knocked out of shape a bit anyway so the threads are never true. They're more just to key into the face pieces and grip I surmise. For the cost of the inserts it might be better to make your own but of course you need some pieces of solid copper rounds at serious diameters and a lathe. If you look on ebay you will find all the inserts and get the precise diameters as normally supplied. The number series of the hammers corresponds to various weights because you can get rawhide inserts as well as copper, so the overall weight of the hammer can vary from double-rawhide, copper-rawhide or double-copper. For double-copper hammers the weights (and diameters) are as follows: Size A = 1" diameter faces = 1lb hammer Size 1 = 1.25" faces = 2lb hammer Size 2 = 1.5" faces = 3lb hammer Size 3 = 1.75" faces = 4lb hammer Size 4 = 2" faces = 7lb hammer Size 5 = 2.75" faces = 14lb hammer
