Casting a Solid Brass Sledge Hammer in a Backyard Foundry

- In this video I will be making a solid brass sledge hammer in my backyard foundry. I made pattern using fusion 360 and the 3d printed the patterns in a plastic called PLA. Then I made a sand mold with a sand called petrobond. I machined the casting on my milling machine and then mounted the sledge hammer head to a hickory handle.

It's official, you must begin making a hammer of every metal, and have the ultimate Smither's collection.
Uranium hammer. One time use only.
I fully agree
please gold 24k!
Gotta get his hands on some depleted uranium.
I would like to see a titanium hammer if it's possible.
As a man who made a living swinging a sledge hammer in the dimension stone industry I can appreciate the aesthetics and enduring quality of the copper and brass hammers. You're a true craftsman.
Guess they are used on boats cause they don't rust
Good to see you wearing your half mask respirator with the multi gas/vapour cartridges. Many people don't realize the toxicity of brass gas/vapour when smelting.
Yup. That stuff be super nasty.
🙄🤦🏻♂️ always the youtube safety experts in every damn video where anyone is doing anything ...
@@Hard_Right it's better to be safe and inconvenienced rather than being sick or dead.
Fume fever is a thing. And annoyingly its symptoms are very similar to covid.
Zinc will do it. White fume fever
Nice to see that you didn't overheat the molten brass and allow the zinc within to vaporise and create dangerous zinc oxide fumes. I had a few doubts concerning the wiggly sprew, but it worked out great.
We use brass in oilfield when working with volatiles when we don’t want sparks that could cause explosions , nice job
I've used a brass hammer a lot in refinery work. It won't spark and that's nice when you're working with flammable gasses floating around in the air.
It’s not too soft? Nice
When you're being gentle with placing things into the sand molds, do you ever think to yourself, "Jenga... Jenga..." lol
It’s nice to see a little machine work done to make the casting look great
Why not just machine the whole thing is what I was wondering
@@treysmith3170 probably because he’s not a machinist?
Earned another subscriber. Please keep the narration for people like me who just don't know. Also, the comments, were quite helpful. I didn't know how/where these tools were used but the comments certainly helped.
Don't know if other people have commented, but brass tools including hammers are often used in industries where there's a risk of fires and explosions caused by various gases/vapours.
I used to work on drill floors on rigs in North Sea and we kept a set of bronze tools, alongside the usual steel ones. Hammers, spanners/wrenches, etc. We'd only use them on occasions where there was an increased risk of gas escaping, and we'd have gas detectors all around the area.
That looks fantastic and came out of the sand looking real good.
Wow this turned out amazing
Can't wait for the Mithril Hammer casting vid! :D
i never would have thought that mold would work without a vent hole! Nicely done!
Your videos have a wonderful calming quality to them.
that looks so good
Beautiful results
You really have a good sense for color contrasts.
Beautiful work 👏
Just, damned awesome !! great job !!
That was a most satisfying project to watch! Thank you.
Love your workmanship.
Your videos are so calm and relaxing
now i want one of those, it looks so good!
You are one of the most skilled YT casting channels I know.
Always looking forward to new videos from you.
Kind regards from Treasure Island
Looking awesome
It’s good to see someone melting with a diy built furnace that came out very nice! Good video good melt and cast.
Thanks for tapering the hole. That's a pet peeve of mine. :)
Very cool. A brass hammer is a very useful tool for working with metal since steel hammers will deform what you're working on. This is basically the metal equivalent of a rubber mallet.

Beautiful craftsmanship
Absolutely Beautiful...
I ' ve been keeping brass pieces and old keys with the idea of making a small bell some time. Thanks a lot!!!
That came out beautiful
That was really impressive work with the sprue.
BEAUTIFUL
He has mastered the force
I like both the brass and copper hammers. This program is inspireing to me, to go make another casting project.
well both hammers are beautiful....it certainly is nice having all that great equipment.
Perfection.
Nicely done.
Glad to see you’re using that skeleton hammer!
Ur really a flawless sledgehammer maker
Beautiful
Fantastic video.
Stunning!
A fantastic artwork !
Did you spray CO2 over the core or was just being exposed naturally enough to harden?
boy just breathed on it really hard
TH-cam frames your comment without me opening the section, leading me to assume you are top comment, and I'm surprised he hasn't answered yet because of that.. Regardless, I know next to nothing about this stuff, but he seems to outline steps pretty well if he thinks they are important and he didn't say, so likely he doesn't spray it... Just my guess.
It’ll harden on its own by just being exposed to the air, but you can also spray it to harden it faster
very impressive work!
excellent job, it looks great
Beautiful work! 👍🏻
The hammer looks professional!
Fun parts of the edit. I dig it!
You are an excellent craftsman.
Amazing work as always!!!
Well done
Great cast
Very cool, nice job...
That came out awesome. 👍🏼
Great job
Beautiful hammer. I'm 60, and my grandfather taught me how to put handles on hammers. He would have the fit very tight. You couldn't quite get the handle in. He would start it then flip the hammer over and tap the end of the handle with a wooden mallet. This would drive the handle into the head. Over time the handle will absorb and lose water making the handle lose. He would seal the end of the handle with varnish.
A beautiful piece of work good show!!
Very nice finish.
Piękny młotek i warsztat. Robi wrażenie, pozdrowienia z Polski.
Pretty cool... Excellent work...
Looks amazing thanks
Shoe🇺🇸
Nice vise. I'm envious.
the only thing lacking is the correct grain on the hickory handle. The grain must be parallel to the direction of the hammer swing. The handle you chose has the grain perpendicular to the direction of the hammer swing. This is because the grain perpendicular to the swing is not nearly as strong as the grain parallel to the swing and will always end in a split handle and there goes your hours of work on the handle. The casting and polishing was great.
Excellent work, awesome video. Keep it up.
Looks nice
Bravo!! 👏🏼 Great to see a video!
Very nice!!
Great looking piece 👍🏼👍🏼
One word: Phenomenal! 👍👍👍
Just subscribed to the two links you provided. Brother's looks fascinating. Thank you.

This is awesome skills
first time that I have seen liver of sulfur being used - thanks
Those hammers are GREAT !! I would never use them cause I won't work that hard, but would LOVE to have a pair for display !! You did a FINE job on them !!!!
The copper hammer would buckle after a few hits
Awesome 😎
That was indeed funny to see the fire coming up at the wave of hand. May the force be with you 🙂
Definitely some high dollar SICKNESS goin on here. GREAT WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
