In this tool restoration video, watch me fully restore three old rusty Estwing hammers, by bringing them right back to life.
My DiResta GIANT Razors… Now LIVE HERE: imakeny.com/pr...
For this restoration project, I went to the local flea market and snagged three hammers that I got for only $1 each.
To really make this restoration video one that you will truly appreciate, I used scrap leather (sold by the pound) from Weaver Leather… Get Some!
Hey all - Just a quick update to let you know that My Giant DiResta Razors are Now Live Here: imakeny.com/products/diresta-razor-blade
No matter the subject of the video; it’s always a pleasure to go along for the ride . Thanks again Jimmy for a very satisfying experience .
Few years ago just after retiring , I helped my son in law restore his great grandfathers garden and work tools over the course of the year.. as he gardened with these tools he very much appreciated the new life we gave them. Also we bonded too. I’ve since then restored old tool chests for repurposing ( blanket chests and toy boxes ) . Most of this stuff was one step away from being trashed …. Very rewarding .
Seeing Jimmy shaping the leather on the bandsaw reminds me of a takeaway kebab being shaved off the spindle. Great work as always!
😂😂
Honestly! I’m starving now and I’ve probably eaten worse!

Love a bit of elephant leg
Many ask about the finishes: First I coated with Weaver “Gum Tragacanth” and than sanded little more. Then finished with Weaver “Tuff kote” thank you all xo
You didn't use vinegar? That stops rust dead in it's tracks. It costs maybe a few dollars for a gallon, what did that vat of rust remover cost you?
Nicely hammers !!!👍👍👍
Just restored an Estwing hatchet the same way. Used an old firewood carrier for the leather. Super satisfying. Beautiful work!
Nice job as usual Jimmy. I hope you, your family and shop survived the recent storms intact. Stay well.
The stacked leather on those hammers looks great. My coworker recommended this channel to me and he was right on. This is the kind of stuff I do. I even restored a similar Craftsman hammer a few years ago. Coool. I need to film more of my builds.
Old rusty hammers is makin this boomer wistful, the beauty of that era is with a little elbow grease and ingenuity you're back in business and not bad lookin either
The stacked leather handle is such an iconic look. Thanks for sharing!
I love the way he marries tools and techniques across disciplines like metalwork, woodwork and leather crafts. I particularly like the use of the bandsaw on the third hammer to gracefully carve the profiles into the leather handle wrap. Always fun to watch and always something to learn.
🙏🏼
Watching you carve things with the band saw is my happy place, jimmy.
Holy crap look at the size of that sanding wheel!! Love this channel!
City slicker from Hollywood California who appreciates the talent that the Lord has given to you. Thank you always entertaining us with your talent! Good post!
Thank You 🙏🏼
Love seeing the manufacturing technique evolving along the build, finding better and faster ways to get the job done!
Brilliant work as usual Jimmy. You have inspired me to restore some of my grandfather's old tools.
Classic Diresta Video!
You are the master of PATIENCE!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy DiResta, the NEW 'M.C. HAMMER'! Dope job!
Love those old Estwing leather-handle tools, and I do have a couple that could use new handles. Thanks for showing how to fix them.
Wow. Better than new. I love how when Jimmy is working on a hammer no matter what he’s doing to it he has to tap it on the things. Master Maker Fixer Craftsman.
LOVDE u bringing old stuff back to life
so beautifull. thank you for sharing and the love for good old fasion made tools.
Bless you, Jimmy, for saving those Estwings. You're a saint.
Thank you for some classic DIRESTA bandsaw work.
Truly a master of your craft.
Oustanding results, on oustanding hammers. I have my father's leather handled Eastwing hammer that is more than 60 years old. I now have a how to tutorial for restroing it. Thank you sir!
The finesse on the bandsaw gets me every time!
I do love the sound of metal hitting metal.
There is something unexplainably beautiful about a stacked leather handle.
Since a long time the first JdR Video again & still love it so much, especially the master on the bandsaw.
classic DiResta right here .. very well done Jimmy thanks for the video
love to watch you work so enjoyable
Estwing hammers are such classic staples of the workshop. My dad had two. Give them a new life, brother!
I would have been digging for a power tool to remove those handles while you’re sniping a line with the claw of another hammer 😂 I love restorations and this one didn’t disappoint!
Mr. Diresta , Thank you once again for showing us what is possible in our own home work shops !!! & please sir continue to protect your eyes , your lungs , & your hearing while you work so hard for us !!!
Classic Diresta. Fantastic video.
Oddly very soothing to watch.
My computer teacher who teaches 3D modeling shows these videos on our Cromebooks and I brought my earbuds and it sounded so satisfying 🙌
Very talented use of a bandsaw as a sculptor!
Beautiful
I have owned a sheet metal hammer with the same type of handle for 40 years,if it does start to come apart I know where to send it.
I love watching any tool being brought back to life,it's even better when the restoration looks as good as the factory quality.
Great job as always, I envy your patience, it would have took me 10 pots of coffee to cut all those leather pieces.
Thank you Weaver.
Sweet!
Thanks,
John
I am building a two story workshop on my property and you have been part of the inspiration
It’s nice to see tools being put back into service. My push edger with its fresh fluids, welded frame, and aftermarket carburetor, are thankful for people that maintain instead of replace.
Nothing like a good ol Jimmy Direstoration
Great video Jimmy. Thanks
Coooooooool, another of my on list projects.... lol.... gotta love the smell of burning leather on a sander
Better than new. I love my Estwing hammer.
With the amount of those handles you've made I'm surprised you didn't make a custom punch to cut the inside and outside shapes at once.
Yeah seemed like a lot of work this way
That's what I thought, too.
Maybe he has a lot of time, I don’t have the tools or the want to, to do this
@@dirtfarmer7472 he definitely does not have a lot of spare time...
I'd be thinking of using some kind of hydraulic press to cut the leather for so many hammers
Great work Jimmy
Hello Jimmy Diresta beautifully done my friend
Really peaceful to watch you punch every single one of thoese pieces of leather!
My lazy rear end would not have resisted shaping all those circles on the laser... Great job and great video again! 🤘🔨😊
17:25 A few days ago I see his UA-cam channel and I feel in every work of his what I see a craftsman, a magnificent craftsman. I admire every masterpiece he does. A hug for you and your collaborators. God bless you🙏
Amazing work Jimmy! And nice way to use epoxy in the final moment. Thumbs up!
Your creativity and skills are without bounds.
Great job and holy moly what a disk sander!
Estwig hammers beautifully restored again as good as new
Always amazed by your skill an confidence on the bandsaw 👍
Stacked leather handles done right! I was so worried you were going to epoxy the washers together. I should have known better. Great job!
✊🏻👊🏼🙏🏼
Nicely done. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful handles. I would have thought you needed some kind of glue to hold them in place. Looks like simple compaction and finish does just fine though! Awesome work
Awesome work as always. I guess I always thought these handles were wrapped, but this makes a lot more sense. What a cool process to see.
Crazy satisfying video to watch! Nice work
Got to love an Estwing hammer! The bandsaw work reminds me of the great Sam Maloof. 👍
I love his leather skills and videos. They are awesome.
After watching this i now have to do my axe and hammer , great work restoring those three 👍👍👍
Jimmy Edit Master.....THANK YOU!
You're my hero!
Man, you can move super fast when you put your mind to it!
Yep... keep everything!! One day... you'll need it!! AKA: Inspirational materials!!

Thanks for this video! As an aspiring maker with a shed full of old tools from my grandpa's old shop, mostly chisels, hammers and files, it's nice to see a process of bringing them back to life.
So awesome!!!!!
The shot when you were bandsawing the first hammer handle reminded me of sheep shearing. Nice work!
Reminded me of shawarma
Was fascinating to watch you take those old gross hammers and turn them into virtually new ones. You really are good at what you do.
I really enjoyed this video..and the restoration of these three hammers made up for the destruction of two perfectly good hammers in the video about making the extra long hammer!…👍🇬🇧
😝😝😝😍
Now that's what I call a successful hammer makeover! Great work Jimmy! 👍👍😉😉🔨🔨🔨
Nice restoration well done they look amazing
Great work!
Excessively satisfying
I'll take the really pitted up one. Love it! I have one just like it from way back in the day. It's almost like new. Just well loved.
Well done jimmy as all ways. Stay safe happy trails.
I love tool restoration videos. Great video as always. I'll come back later to see how many safety extremists come in to scold you for striking the hammer faces together 😎 Great vide.
Nice results! I always enjoy watching you do multiples and seeing how you experiment with the process along the way. Of you're going to do another one I could see a custom punch that adds the space for the handle in the middle of the leather all at once.
Man with many tools, and knows how to use them
dude..........................awesome
Just like new…the end result is amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I just got an old Estwing to redo. You had an old video doing something similar, but this one came just in time. Beautiful tools.
We need to build a death machine that knocks 2 hammers into each other at warp speed to see if they really can chip! Then we try anvils 😈
As always you amaze me with how versatile your skill set is!!!
👊🏼👊🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
And now I know how leather handles are made. As always, job well done.
I think the earth pulls slightly off axis every time Jimmy fires up that huge disk sander. What a beast.
Beautiful work Jimmy.
Those hammers looked like a "someday" project whose day had come. That's always a good thing. Trouble is, that for every "someday" project that gets done, there seems to be a hundred that remain. Good resto Jimmy.
True.
Great job!
Buddy you did excellent work, as always, I really like the result 👍
Great work, love the bandsaw work!
They look fantastic!! Really takes me back to when I helped my dad with repairs around the house and the hammer he used. 🤘🏼
Excellent work! When he is shaving the leather on the bandsaw, it reminds me of Al Pastor tacos.
