This is super cool. My tools were recently stolen, including my dad’s old hammer from the 1980’s. I ordered a vintage-style octagonal handle the same shape, and picked up an old rusty hammer head the same design as my dad’s hammer, to make my own as a tribute. This video will really help me with this project.
That's cool I'm trying to do a hammer head customization into a handle for a walking stick, haven't got any power tools besides a grinder .....I like doing things how out grandparents probably did them by hand with files and sandpaper
At last, someone who knows what "Restoration" means! To many of these restoration vid's involve them going ham with an angle grinder and adding some strange flare they think is cool instead of returning the tool to its former new-like state.
I know. I mean how dare they have artistic expression using old materials mixed with new technology. Everyone knows there's only one way to do a restoration and this video clearly demonstrates the only correct way.
Nice! The final product is awsome, the journey is something else! I love seeing old tools some people would just discard being brought back to their former glory.
Great restoration! Makes me want to start mine. I've been collecting every hammer, cleaver, knife and hatchet I find for the past few years with the intent of restoring them to a condition for others to enjoy. It's so satisfying to see simply tools be turned into pieces of functional jewelry. 👍
I've juste starting restoring a hammer without any mechanical tools. You need patience but the new look of the tools is a great reward ! The only downside is that you cant get a tool as shiny as this without electric grinder
Again, Eeee, well done again, it's a great honor for me to see another person with precise attention to detail and his wonderful work, well done and respect from old BG.
Very nice restoration. Don't listen to the haters who say "oh its just extreme cleaning" They obviously don't appreciate the time and effort that goes into doing what you just did. I know from experience and spend about an average of 4 to 6 hours worth of labor into restoring hammers just as you have so keep up the good work!
I think what I love most about restorations is that you rarely have to add much to fix it, its usually just grinding the outside to show that inner beauty! I know they're just tools but I think it speaks to life a little bit. You all have a wonderful day building, restoring or just enjoying life man
Never expected Ronda the following words about a hammer but: this is beautiful! Perfect Restauration without any useless parts like a partial diecast held or something, just perfect with simple elegance! Congrats and thx for the share!
Lots of work for a hammer head, but the level attention paid was superb. I have a few old hammer heads I would like to restore. I don't think I will put this level of detail into them, but I'm still impressed none the less.
Tools help big time in any project especially 1 like this and you had them but your attention to details was 2nd to none. WOW Amazing job. bet i know which is your favorite hammer
That was one of the best restoration videos I've seen. You truly went from rusty piece of crap to a beautiful, brand new, professionally crafted hammer. Very nice and thanks for sharing.
Wow! You have fine control of your tools. I would’ve tried to use the rotary tool on the claw and would have screwed it up. It was an education. Thank you.
Excellent work. The belt sander is a great tool. I have a old school Craftsman sledge hammer and double sided axe that had a fair amount of rust on them. I used a palm sander, wire wheel and grinder. Then hosed them down with some WD40 and called it a day.
Love when something can be fixed up or repurposed instead of just throughing it our. I find old rusty tools and garage or flea markets and bring them home to bring them back to life or make a welding project out of it. Found a really good large file that I still use today that rips metal down real fast.
I’m wondering what is the liquid you applied with the little brush? Also, did you then remove it after it dried by doing more sanding? You did an excellent job, but it would have been nice to have a little narration to explain things. Such as what grit sandpaper on the belt sander, substance applied with brush, what kind of wood used for handle, etc. These things are important to those of us still learning how to do what you did so very well. Maybe put the info in the drop down menu. Thank you for sharing this project with us, it was well worth the time to view it.
Nice restoration. I have to say though, when it comes to rust, especially in hard to reach areas, vinegar and a wire brush/steel wool is your friend. Saves a lot of time when it comes to sanding/grinding/polishing. Nice work though.
Beautiful work and now a fine piece good for another 100 years. Your handle work is exemplary, such an eye for shape and feel! Have you thought of stamping Koss on some of your projects...A most worthy name in restoration and hand made knives! Thank you much for sharing your passion with us.
My brother uses a disc sander to make handles that cuts time way down. I tried doing that when I was making a propeller with disc sander, I think the one I did by hand file came out better because I can feel the wood better and control the shape.
Fine energetic restoration....AND improvement. Good thing you added that coating at the end or the rust would return within the year. Also, it a stroke of fortune that you had so much access to abrasives and all those grinding & polishing tools. It's worthy of etching or branding your name thereupon....?
Как всегда, превосходная работа! Но нам было бы очень полезно, если бы Вы делали подписи на видео. К примеру, какое средство для воронения, для пропитки рукояти и тд
I would bet it never looked that good when it was new! Anyone that loves tools will enjoy your post. Was that gun blueing you applied to get the black finish? Only change I would have made would possibly have been in the handle shape, but it's all preference. What was used on the wood to stain / oil? What grit paper on the belt sander? Great restoration job.
I have found that #0000 steel wool does a great job without the scratches. I restored my old ShopSmith with it and had in ready for paint in no time. After I was finished it looked brand new.
Ooooo! Nice!
He was just missing some evoporust
I love HTR''s bucket of Evaporust
ooo! thanks =)
That’s high praise indeed coming from Hand Tool Rescue, love your channel too
Oooooo hand tool rescue nice..
That hammer looks better than ever, good job 👌 i wouldn't use it to hammer, i would place it behind glass in my living room 😉
You’ve hit the nail on the head with this restoration . Fantastic job
This is super cool. My tools were recently stolen, including my dad’s old hammer from the 1980’s.

@@kiwiprouddavids724 that’s cool, man! I’m definitely not that patient. Power tools for me whenever possible.

He used the grinder too !

That has to be the best refurbish tool video I've seen on these forums yet. Bravo sir Bravo! Your attention to every detail makes the difference.
This is not simply a restoration....this is love!
BEAutiful restoration!! Watching craftsmen take something old and make it something new is therapeutic and relaxing!! Great job!
What i admire most is your attention to detail. I've never seen blemishes on any of your projects. Ever. Well done Sir.👏
One of the best hammer restorations I’ve seen

Wow you really wouldn’t want to use that hammer ever again, looks to beautiful to use.
Steven Watson indeed, he ruined a perfectly fine hammer, now we can never use it again!
Kinda like shining up and waxing a bullet.
now i know what to do with my dremel, which i bought 10 years ago.
You could use it to smash that like button... once.
literally me
Again, Eeee, well done again, it's a great honor for me to see another person with precise attention to detail and his wonderful work, well done and respect from old BG.
Dude your work is just so satisfying to me

I know from experience and spend about an average of 4 to 6 hours worth of labor into restoring hammers just as you have so keep up the good work!
Nice work and finely someone that knows how to do a wooden handle instead of a brass mold

I really like the cold blue accents you applied. Definitely gave me some ideas for my future projects like this. Thanks.
Best restoration ever.👍👍
No previous cracks, no previous rusted marks left. Seems like it's new. 👏👏👏
Greta.tunberg
Nn b,
The most impressive part is when you made your own handle! Nice work!
I bet this will be your favourite hammer forever with all the work put into it
for some reason ive been watching few restoration videos of old hammers and axes. This by far is the best quality. Great work
Beautiful work and great music. Brilliant idea adding contrast with bluing parts of the hammer head. Would love to see you restore a Hatchet or Axe.
One of the most satisfying videos I've watched in ages
There is still plenty of metal and material left to be a perfectly functional tool,great work.
What a nice job of giving a new life to an old tool, young man. Make more.
Watching your restoration videos is so therapeutic & relaxing. Thank you.

Bringing an old friend back to life.

Beautiful. Something very therapeutic about watching these restorations. Thanks for posting.
Tools help big time in any project especially 1 like this and you had them but your attention to details was 2nd to none. WOW Amazing job. bet i know which is your favorite hammer
Не знаю как вы ребятки а я будучи плотником и слесарем.Просто залипаю на такие видео. )))
The bluing was a nice touch. Beautiful work.
That hammer looks better now than it probably ever did when new! Great job! :)
This is so relaxing watching this! Great choice of music
That was one of the best restoration videos I've seen. You truly went from rusty piece of crap to a beautiful, brand new, professionally crafted hammer. Very nice and thanks for sharing.
This restoration is way better than buying a cheap hammer. Great job!
You took a 20oz,and made it an 18oz,,😊. Good job though. Restore, not replace.
Wow! You have fine control of your tools. I would’ve tried to use the rotary tool on the claw and would have screwed it up. It was an education. Thank you.
This restoration deserves note 10.
Now that is how you refurbish a hammer. Perfect! Thumbs Up!
Excellent work. The belt sander is a great tool. I have a old school Craftsman sledge hammer and double sided axe that had a fair amount of rust on them. I used a palm sander, wire wheel and grinder. Then hosed them down with some WD40 and called it a day.
Absolutely beautiful. You like removing all the defects and it shows. Well done.
Hand-restored. In my opinion, that just makes it so much better than going out and finding a new tool somewhere.
Love when something can be fixed up or repurposed instead of just throughing it our. I find old rusty tools and garage or flea markets and bring them home to bring them back to life or make a welding project out of it. Found a really good large file that I still use today that rips metal down real fast.
У нас такие молотки как у вас "ржавые" за новые продают. А то что получилось - элитный инструмент из рекламы.
a hammer anyone would be proud to use, great job
Great job. Doing thing like this is so rewarding both watching it being done and doing it oneself.
Thanks for sharing my friend.

I think it's called 'Cold bluing'
Ferric chloride.
Oh my God! Awesome! what a great master created such a masterpiece !!!
I don't know why but i feel so relaxed after watching videos like this.
Nice! I have an old hammer that's about 50 years old, that could use some tender loving care like that. Sounds like a project.
Hammer restoration is the best part of your episode's
Ах, просто чудесный молот просто чудо таким обладать и работать!!!😊😉😄😃😀👏🖒👍👌💪🏅🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🏅🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🏅🇷🇺
Plain and simple the hammer is amazing. Great job!!!
That restoration has no words but wow awesome
Beautiful job Koss, looks stunning, you did a great job on the new handle!!
*Watches video*
*buys new hammer*
This is art to my eyes.
Nice restoration. I have to say though, when it comes to rust, especially in hard to reach areas, vinegar and a wire brush/steel wool is your friend. Saves a lot of time when it comes to sanding/grinding/polishing. Nice work though.
Oddly satisfying I love restoration videos
Great free hand sanding/grinding skills
Man that thing looks smooth!
My friend you are AMAZING and so is the WORK you do ! 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
Just a basic claw hammer expertly restored back to its former glory 👍 what’s not to like great job
Looks better than brand new!! Excellent work!!
Beautiful work and now a fine piece good for another 100 years. Your handle work is exemplary, such an eye for shape and feel! Have you thought of stamping Koss on some of your projects...A most worthy name in restoration and hand made knives! Thank you much for sharing your passion with us.
Did you say 100 years? Boy you must be stupid
Mr Panda yes this tool could easily last 100 years
Very nice work. I miss my workshop and tools 😢
That is one beautiful hammer. Well done!
This is so satisfying, you done all this so perfectly and patiently, god! Thanks!
I love the music along with the constant grinding and sanding..
That's even better looking than new hammers available in my place
Wow didn't know a hammer could be so mesmerizing
This is pure tool porn... If ever you tube opens that category then this should be the first video on it. Great job!! Long life to old tools.
My brother uses a disc sander to make handles that cuts time way down. I tried doing that when I was making a propeller with disc sander, I think the one I did by hand file came out better because I can feel the wood better and control the shape.
Very diligent in your approach. Nice!

A lovely clean restoration
I'm adding this to my "just chill" playlist
I have watched many restoration videos, this though by far is the best I have watched so far. Well done 👍
thanks
Nice polish buddy! Gotta love a good Restoration !
КрАсивА получилось. Теперь ему место на полке :)).
Amazing job...i learned A lot from this video....thanks for sharing...
That was very relaxing to watch. Beautiful
Как всегда, превосходная работа! Но нам было бы очень полезно, если бы Вы делали подписи на видео. К примеру, какое средство для воронения, для пропитки рукояти и тд
Very nice workmanship...!
Perfect restoration I hv ever seen. But you didn't polish the wood?
Would be better without music.
Great project though!
Very, very nice restauration!
thank you
VERY nice!!!!
I can say that you nailed it.
I would bet it never looked that good when it was new! Anyone that loves tools will enjoy your post. Was that gun blueing you applied to get the black finish? Only change I would have made would possibly have been in the handle shape, but it's all preference. What was used on the wood to stain / oil? What grit paper on the belt sander? Great restoration job.
Beautiful craftsmanship
I have found that #0000 steel wool does a great job without the scratches. I restored my old ShopSmith with it and had in ready for paint in no time. After I was finished it looked brand new.
Amazing work ! Looks brand new !
Отличная работа!
Отличная работа 👍
Very straightforward video. I like it.
