Hey Tim, could you discuss titanium vs steel some time? Properties of the materials, how they differ in function as finished objects and how they differ when you make them? Love your channel, great content!

@@Peeguzzlerexcept in any application where weight actually matters or corrosion resistance. I also framed for a few years and saw a bunch of more experienced framers use titanium hammers
@@s00p3rmanmost framers now use titanium. It’s lighter, so you can swing it faster, so it hits about the same as steel. It also transfers its energy to a nail about 30% more effectively. Try driving a nail with a 16 oz titanium hammer and a 19 oz steel hammer and you’ll feel the difference

Sooooo, that hammer looks awesome. But the gradient of the color was not caused by the short. I've done a lot of anodizing, and the reason it has that gradient is that anodizing works by creating an oxidized layer on your parts. The reason it turned blue and then has a gradient is because the oxidized layer is created faster on thinner areas of the part. Those thinner anodized areas then prevent the electricity from running through it because the anodized layer is thicker than what is on the rest of the part. What then happens is that more energy is needed to run through those thicker anodized areas, and more energy, means more heat, which heat in anodized titanium causes blueing to happen. But still, it looks awesome.
I used to frame houses for 20 years and I would of loved to have that hammer!!! After many years I settled with a California Framer Hammer. It’s a supper beautiful tool!!
I have done what you are doing the anodizing. There are 3 metals that are color reactive. Titanium and neobimum is the second and I can’t remember the third. Try polishing your part really smooth. If you can the amperage is what makes your process work. You need to be able to control your amperage. I’m thinking something like a Lionel transformer from your train set. You need to establish a wire lead as a cathode and a wire that you attach your part to being the anode. The wire coming from your transformer needs to be of the same metal as you are anodizing. The more amperage you crank into your part, in your case the hammer head, the color will vary. Bright green being the best. I used a tablespoon of TSP in my distilled water as my anodizing solution. I understand Dr. Pepper works also. Connect your other wire lead to the hammer and dip your hammer head in the solution. It is fun to experiment with your process for different patterns. Also, remember you are working with ELECTRIC current. AMPERAGE can KILL. Wear insulated gloves.
Wrong old school thinking makes the handle crack sooner, he has it perfect allows for some swell to keep the grain wet and malleable to keep it from breaking
@@Yourmomsbf-nx9ve I've swung the same hammer for 20 years. They don't break. And having the handle protrude negates half of the hammers usefulness. It may be fine for an axe or hatchet, but not a framing hammer.
Not if you contour the handle to fit your hand. Plenty of hammers have metal handles. As long as you can dissipate the energy over a broader surface you’ll be better off.
In framing it helps keep the nail head from slipping. The nails usually have a grid pattern on the face. It also leaves nice chewed up marks on wood so it couldn't be used in a finish carpentry setting. Most commercial ti hammers have a steel insert on the face so that it can be replaced when worn down. Possibly even swapped to a smooth insert.
Get an electro-plating machine to control the amps and volts. Also when dipping like that there is only a certain amount of time to complete the next step. A dirty shop can affect the chemicals too. Thats one cool hammer head!
Really cool video. U might wanna grind down where you put the handle and the wedge together. It'll inhibit the fulcrum action when trying to pry a nail loose.
Great skills and very nice hammer, I would like a tungsten hammer I’m an aircraft journeyman structural/mechanic I exclusively use tungsten bucking bars. It saves time, money, and the density contributes to less repetitive motion damage to your hands. I think the same would hold true for a tungsten framing hammer. Nice video thank you 😎

One of the best Video after Titanium Hammer.Good Work bro.
Pretty sweet looking project!
Hmm how can we make a hammer worse... Oh! Let's make it out of Titanium!
he looks like a curly haired mark zuckerburg
Who thinks these videos are so satisfying 😍😍
On a framing hammer a curved handle is a nice touch
Beautiful design, amazing handy work, talk about a blunt argument 😄👍!
For a slight moment when I watch your videos I forget about everything else thank you man 🙏🏼
Get an electro-plating machine to control the amps and volts. Also when dipping like that there is only a certain amount of time to complete the next step. A dirty shop can affect the chemicals too. Thats one cool hammer head!
i love how you can see the metal gradually cool off when he’s working on it
Great video!!! Great to see you don't take 500 episodes to make the hammer 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Really cool video. U might wanna grind down where you put the handle and the wedge together. It'll inhibit the fulcrum action when trying to pry a nail loose.
That's awesome!!
Great job!!
This is my first time visiting this channel, here from the instag giveaway, and I gotta say I'm thoroughly entertained
Great skills and very nice hammer, I would like a tungsten hammer I’m an aircraft journeyman structural/mechanic I exclusively use tungsten bucking bars. It saves time, money, and the density contributes to less repetitive motion damage to your hands. I think the same would hold true for a tungsten framing hammer. Nice video thank you 😎
Nice knowing our 100 year old seals are being put to good use
I was full saying you should put the grid on the face of the hammer and then boom you go and do it ya deserve a like
Nailed it. With that hammer.
