Making Handles for Smithing Hammers - Handle Marathon!

- Опубліковано 10 вер 2024
- In this video, I decided I would try to make five handles for various smithing hammers in one single take. It was quite hard fitting it all within 20 minutes, but I got it done and I believe the results were quite good as well. Tell me in the comments what you think!
Many of these hammers have their maker mark worn down, but I believe all of the square ones are from "Hultsbruk"/"Hultafors" (or maybe "Gränsfors" or "Eskilstuna")´, while the ball peen one is marked with "Iggesund", an old ironworks that dates back to early 1600s.

Tightening the handle with hammer shall be done using gravity by holding the handle gentle
Correct! 🙂 It both saves your handles from getting damaged and automatically balances it in regard to the eye of the hammer.
