Hammer Restoration [With Resin Eye]

A rusty old hammer If you see this sign, you should listen carefully, it is definitely worth it. For the best possible sound experience, I recommend headphones! WATER I guess that didn't help, now it's a wet, rusty, dirty hammer. Step 2: Electrolysis Salt "-" to the subject "+" to the metal scrap I have secured the old hammer head a little more This looks even more impressive in reality The next day The metal has dissolved extremely The result after electrolysis is already much better The hammer head is now heated to 700°C and cooled slowly, so it is no longer so hard and I can work it better This is called soft annealing After a few minutes Without illumination you can better see that the steel is glowing On the belt grinder we bring the old hammer head back into shape I make this surface rounded I use the scribing needle to draw in the boundaries of the bevels. With the multifunction tool I grind out the eye of the hammer head I finish the surfaces with sandpaper with different grits When I sandblast, I remove the last bit of rust As abrasive I use corundum with 0,2-0,8mm grain size For hardening, the hardening furnace is heated to 900°C.... ... the oil for quenching preheated to 80°C... ...and the oven preheated to 200°C for tempering. Tempering relieves internal stresses in the metal structure This is repeated three times Phew, this crack has put a spoke in my wheel After hardening, the oil made the surface rust resistant, but it didn't work at the crack site, so I have to sandblast it again. But the crack itself should not affect the function of the hammer Thank you for your support! You are awesome! Now let's get that „Forgotten Shine“ back! Since it didn't work to make the rust protection while hardening, I'll have to mask off the hammer head and paint it. I clean the surface with isopropanol The hammer handle is made of ash Oops! wrong stem caught, of course I take my homemade With this saw I give the direction... ... with this saw I make a deeper and thicker slot (for the wedge) Assembling The wooden wedge is hammered into the hammer handle with wood glue To make the eye (from the hammer) look nicer, I pour the clearance with resin. Finally, the stem is rubbed with linseed oil varnish Finished! Test!
