Keep up the great work bud

Decades ago at my father's machine shop a guy would come around and exchange the smashed ones with newly cast ones for a fee. Also had trucks that came around like the ice cream man to sharpen knives and mower blades and the milk man collecting glass bottles. But now I only see a filthy van with freezers trying to sell crap steaks around my shop...lol

Where do you find those molds thats way better than buyung a new $30 hammer when they get too bent

This just doesnt at all seem safe. So you pound those LEAD hammers down to the nubs in two weeks and then recast them? So your shop is full of particle size pices of your lead hammers. Probably getting lead dust imbedded in you hands before you go eat, youre breathing that shit in, and im gonna go out on a limb and say youre not wearing a proper fume hood and shit when you recast them? Ill take "retarded people who will die before they're 40 for 500$ Alex."

Why use hammers on a wheel 😂. You dumb shits

The guys like wanna watch me melt lead just iching to smell it definitely remelts both once e a week

That’s cool, is the idea it’s just softer than the metal you’re working with so no scuff marks?

For spoke rims lowrider

Maybe some ppe for the lugs when smelting would be a good idea

mad hatters is is now called mad hammers

Dude wear gloves and a respirator, you are handling a big chunk of lead for hours at a time

Hopefully dude washes his hands

Doesnt this guy own a boat?

i am pretty sure those hammers should be round. with round head and round handle they will last 10 times longer

The goodness of the feeling of the result is inversely proportional to the square of the time spent trying to achieve it. Inverse square law.

I dont know the lead compound but i feel iffy seeing you casually barehand the head

Straight p65

Would a rubber hammer not safice

Jesus Christ that guy for sure has lead poisoning. IQ points falling off weekly

This guy is a little acoustic

It’s just Babitt we use it on elevators all the time and plumbers use it to. You buy it in bars.

The lead powder absorbs into your pores. The fine lead particles which break off from pounding those hammers will blow or move into your eyes mouth and nose. Going to poison you.

Dude dont touch lead

What kind of hammer is this? *mboodle*

I think the lead will be alright. He’s not drinking water from it. A gloved hand and casting a lead hammer once every 2 weeks in a ventilated area is not harmful. If he was sitting in a closed brewing up lead hammers all day he’d be in trouble. It’s a wonder anyone is alive if exposure to small amounts of lead was lethal. You all must be too young to remember leaded gas. It literally took our populations IQ down but guess what? We had people actively burning it all across the country and letting it out of their exhaust…

Daytons. Iykyk

Better be careful getting lead poisoning

why he playing with it and touching lead tho

Is that better than bronze ?

Copper was'nt an option?

Literally just buy a rubber mallet

Welcome lead poisoning. Close down that repair shop.

Seems unhealthy

Please be careful with the lead!!! It's deadly but it's a slow acting toxin so you won't know until it's too late

Probably would never. Not only does he make them in house which is a huge health hazard, he actually uses them repeatedly. So often that he has to smelt them into new hammers every so often repeating the exact same process that is killing him. If he made any of his employees do this, it would be several OSHA violations. If all you're trying to do is prevent scratching then you can use a steel hammer. Just put some leather or rubber over the end.

Disappointed in the lack of Terraria comments

Keep touching them with your bare hands, man. See what happens.

For sure that molten lead is off gassing lead fumes. Dude needs PPE yesterday.

I’ve been using soup cans then quartering them or custom cuts for specific jobs but quartering the soup can you get the corners which come in handy or the sides do also. Dang I miss free lead.

so every two weeks it's hammer time?

What a fool

Lead can stay in your body for decades ,you can get tested to see

Lead pecker is what we called them

There is no safe exposure level to lead. You are, in fact, poisoning your human vessel.

So you just melt and pour lead in the workshop. Nope.

Dudes going to die of lead poisoning…

Ben Affleck the rim repair version.

Hope you dont get lead poisoning

I don't see a single mask or exhaust fan anywhere near that. Hope you're getting regular blood tests
