  • I need a planishing hammer to shape metal. In this video I build one from scratch. With the exception of some pipe fittings, I used material and off cuts that I already had in the shop.

    I got my dad back in the U.K with a 1964 2600 Alfa Romeo spider that he wants me to fix up, most of the rear end is missing and been looking at bead rollers etc and when i saw the price of these hammers i thought of using an air chisel, you just made a great tool my friend!..... and chance of showing the angles and lengths of the steel frame work so i could copy your amazing creation 🍻👍💪

That homemade foot pedal was a whole new level of genius and bush ingenuity brother, I hope UA-cam is paying enough to keep building more Rods. Hope you have many, many more healthy years creating in the Forest. Have a Lakka day and a very Lakka life my brother. Best wishes from Oztrailia. 👍👍👍

      No man, can't be! A cheap planishing hammer goes for around $250 -300, the better ones $1000 upwards. What kind of rates are they charging? I'm sure you'd be able to buy a set of dies online in your part of the world
