Scrounging through my dad’s cast off tools, found this framing hammer. As I was never really strong enough to swing a 24oz framer when I was a carpenter, I never bought one (I used a 16oz hammer with a long handle, because m*v^2). Now that I have no use for it and am even weaker, seemed like a good time to take it home and give it a new, coddled life. Replaced dad’s splintered and grey handle with a brand spanking new one.
Looks like you put some effort into the metal too - looks freshly scrubbed and oiled ✨ matches that new handle beautifully - great work!!
thanks! Wire wheeled all the rust and concrete, filed off various burrs, dents, etc, and even chased the milling on the face.
