Homemade hammers

[eveled]

I’ve had these since I was very young. My Grandmother gave them to me. I think my Grandfather may have made them when he worked in a machine shop. Or maybe in trade school? IDK. The handles are threaded into the heads.

I don’t remember ever using the tack hammer, but the ball peen hammer comes in handy occasionally.

These are an extremely common first machine shop project, I'm not a machinist but that's what I've been told.
It's like making an ash tray in pottery class or a birdhouse in woodshop.

I was a carpenter for prolly the first 25 years of my life. Along with working as an automotive mechanic, I have acquired at least 15 to 20 hammers. I've never thought of making one. Pretty cool.
