I do similar stuff myself, restoring old firearms... it's a slow job, especially when there are no parts to be found or badly worn down, but it's equally fun to see that old piece of junk coming back to life again.
Thanks for sharing that work. I had considered that this would be the method to create pieces for antiques, and you proved it. I’m not going to shy away from doing this. I’ve got lots of files and time. If I have a surplus of material I might cheat and use die grinder what’s the worst that can happen. I think it’s great that we can use online reference material like this to get ideas. Thanks again.
Well done. Had I not have seen all of the video I would have been prepared to bet that the hammer was the original or had been cast. It's amazing what can be achieved with lots of patients and very few tools. Hats off to you, Sir, you did a brilliant job.
Hay Stuart, I came here from a you tube search and it is the only video relating to making a hammer. I have an old Belgian Bayard SBS exposed hammer 12g shotgun which has the right hand hammer broken in half. It looks to be cast iron or steel. I need to build another hammer but I was lucky as I scored some old hammers from a local gun smith, he had a box full of old hammers and gave me 6 of them. Hopefully I may be able to make one of them fit and look like the original. You sure put some work into yours and it came out nice. Cheers
Yall please dont dry fire these old hammered double barrels. I know its a fun thing to do, but almost every one ive seen has had ruined cones and firing pins. These things are still useable with some TLC
I am researching the hunting rifle depicted in Eugène Delacroix’s painting “Liberty Leading The People.” It was a work commemorating the July Revolution of 1830 in France. The bourgeoisie is represented by a young man in a top hat holding what appears to be a double-barreled shotgun. Wikipedia has a detailed version of the painting, but I cannot determine if the hammer indicates the gun has been shot or is ready to be shot. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Nice job, this inspires me to make mine
Great job sir
Commendable work, look after that gun
Nice job on the hammer, and good to see people preserving old firearms.
Slask tunnan hey thanks, it was a long job but worth doing

Beautiful work! Your hammer even outdoes the original hammer - which is quite aged - while still fitting into the piece nicely.
Very good 👍👍🤩🤩
Thank you..🙏🙏🥰🥰🌹
