Sweet restorations. There is something special about a nice set of hammers. Thanks for the video! Aaaah, Chevy Orange. Now that brings back a lot of small block memories. 😎
Fantastic job on the hammers. The new handles made them look new. Its amazing how a little color will make them stand out. I have a couple that need that type of attention .
Fantastic work, the linseed oil was a good choice. They’lI last for many more years to come. I know first hand how much time and effort it takes behind the scenes to restore just one of those, so major props for doing 3 in this video.👍
Thank you sir! And the part of your comment about “time and effort”, if I get a snarky opinion/critical comment from a UA-camr that has never created a single video, let’s just say they don’t get much respect from me. I really appreciate you.
@@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks I was referring to the original handle, sure looks like a split to me......Seemed unusual for a crack to start at the head and be working its way down.............But if you say it's not a split I'll take your word for it.
Thank you so much. I’ve had that 3 hammer project on my mind since January. I waited until the hottest time of year to get it done. Lots of sweat when into those hammers.
As always, beautiful work. Would you be kind enough to tell me where you find replacement handles. I've not been very lucky at finding any quality handles on-line and if you go to flea market here in the Northeast, all the vendors are greedy.
Our local flea markets has about 6 or so vendors selling handles of all kinds. Some are excellent, others would best be used for firewood. Ace hardware is okay for cheap handles but the grain can run in all directions. I recycle handles when I can, shortening them if necessary. A draw-knife is the best tool to reshape a hammer handle. And thanks for the compliment.
@@RestorationbyAlabamaCreeks You're welcome. I enjoy your craftsmanship and patience. Also, I have a bunch of Grandpa's tools that could use some work, but I've always been a bit afraid to tackle the project from a lack of knowledge stand point. I really like the older (vintage USA tools). Also, thank you for the information. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for handles at the local fleas.

Really nice. I need to get a reconditioning wheel.
I loved this restoration, you did a good job ! 👍
Thank you so much.
Nice job well done.
They Turned Out Great, that Ball Peen had an interesting split running down over half the length of the handle.
Hey Michael! Thanks for checking out my video. That ball peen’s handle has a dark streak in the grain of the wood.

@@rawbacon you are correct. The old handle was split in several places. Very likely the original handle.
Great job!
Thank you sir.

David, you are welcome.
I'm pretty sure I heard the Ridged hammer sigh when you got out the orange paint.
Appreciate your words. Funny as well. Not sure it’s corporate orange but it was available.
Awesome job my friend.
Thank you sir!!
