Good morning Lyle. We all pray that you're on the mend. Thanks for sharing your videos that you've had in the can. Now on to my coffee, but I'll have to wait for my bacon since it's early in the morning
I forwarded this video to my intro to machining students, because you demonstrated so many methods and tricks that they are experiencing in their class with me. I am keeping them informed about your illness and recovery. All of us are praying for you.
A very useful little hammer for seating parts in the vise and general tapping. Brings to mind a couple of old groaners. “Don’t force it, use a bigger hammer!” and “Get the hammer honey, there’s a fly on the baby’s head!” That last one may have been the title of an old country song. I hope you’re feeling better every day.
@ellieprice303 *grin* I was told to just use a Crescent wrench. You can really pound on things with the big ones. You can use a wrench for a hammer, but you can't use a hammer for a wrench.
I grew up using a similar small brass hammer my dad had, very useful for model building, tapping out tin or brass sheet, and small pin insertion. Years later, after he passed away, I found many of his tools had been raided, stolen by the rotten sister's drug addict buddies for pawn. That was one tool I really wanted to keep... sadly long gone.
I have not had difficulty knurling, but hex brass was what I used in metal shop to make a new shift handle for my first Datsun pickup, the factory shift lever had a hole that connected it to the linkage, and it had hogged out. Working brass, I heated it and made an S bend in it, was a nice school project.
Thanks, Needed a big one & brass was too expensive, so first it was Lead & found out it was way too soft & mushroomed all over the place almost by looking at it. Zinc worked real well, some kinda printing plates from the scrap yard. Glad you're still kicking, keep on.
I remember when an apprentice made a mallet and put a round cylindrical hole through the centre . A hydraulics fitter used it and the head flew off and hit another fitter . Thus it was discovered that the hole through the middle has a double taper in it for a reason . Oh by the way the fitter was not injured but did swear a bit .
I made one, using a small block off of some long ago scrapped machine, and a steel rod from it, that had a convenient step in it that fitted the central hole in the block. Slipped in, then riveted the steel rod over on the top, and had a small tool with a chromes steel handle, that was perfect for light use, small enough to fit in tight spots, but still a 50g head to tap with.
Hi Mr Pete hope you are getting better . That's going to be a fun project in between other projects . God please give Mr Pete a jump start also wish you well and hope you can make a full recovery. JM
also very nice to have a handle when using it as a driver. I melted down some pistons for an aluminum hammer, with a claw hammer handle. used a tin can for a mold.A brass hammer can do some damage, aluminum not so much, I like it better than the plastic deadblow.
I have had a little mushroomed brass hammer like that at my mill for over 30 years. Bought it for perhaps 1$ at a yard sale, I wonder who made it... Very useful item for knocking around small workpieces.
I am so happy you had these videos "in the can" so I get my does of Mr. Pete as you continue to recover from that dreaded covid bug. Take care Mr. Pete
Love it :) I use a smaller version of that at work for making small tool position adjustments on the Brown & Sharpe screw machines. I like to call it the "five thou hammer" ;)
That's a sweet little hammer, really glad you dug it out of the scrap bin, Tubalcain. Even better you made a project video about it, really like those brass chips as you were machining the hammer head. Red metals are just great, copper, brass, bronze, really like to see you working with those metals. Have you ever tried to cast any red metals? I definitely enjoy the many videos of you casting lead and aluminum as well.
Thank you for watching. Yes, I poured brass and bronze in the school foundry hundreds of times over the years. In addition to that, I helped my brother, many many times, pouring bronze into his lost wax sculpture molds
I figured you have Tubalcain, just never seen any videos of you casting red metals. Did you help your brother with the fawn sculpture? You have showed that sculpture in numerous videos it is definitely a work of art. Casting bronze in the lost wax technique is a connection to ancient mankind that fascinates me.
Making hammers is one of my favorite things to do. I often give them to family and friends; they appreciate it, and I get to make another hammer. Win-win.
Has someone complained about the length of your videos??? You seem to be apologetic about the length. If people don’t like to watch your videos less than ten minutes, tell them not to let the door hit them in the backside. I personally like to watch longer in depth videos. It is a pain to flip around every ten minutes trying to find something of interest.

Hoping you are on the mend, get well soon. Thanks for all the great shop class lessons.
Good morning Lyle. We all pray that you're on the mend. Thanks for sharing your videos that you've had in the can. Now on to my coffee, but I'll have to wait for my bacon since it's early in the morning
It was a nice touch tapping the roll pin in with the old hammer.
Hope you are getting over your bout of covid. Time to order some brass, let me take out a second mortgage.

@@mrpete222 Super happy to see a response from you!
So glad that you are doing better that the chap in this clip.

Feel better soon. I value my Internet shop teacher.
Good to see you feeling better, Teach!
Excellent way to start my Saturday in the shop as always! Hope your feeling better and hoping your family has a great weekend Mr. Pete.
It's great to see you're doing better Mr. Pete.
Great little project Mr. Pete! Now that is more like my skill level! 😉😉😉😁👍
Hi Mr Pete...thanks for sharing and hope you ate feeling better.
Thank you so much for showing us this little project. It's been so long since we've seen a new project. Excellent work as always.
Good morning Mr. Pete I hope your starting to feel better!
I made one of those more than 20 years ago when I was still in the machine shop. I'm glad I did.
I made something like this only with square copper for my brother. The handle was hex as well, a drop from the CNC machine at work.

Brings to mind a couple of old groaners. “Don’t force it, use a bigger hammer!” and “Get the hammer honey, there’s a fly on the baby’s head!” That last one may have been the title of an old country song.

I like the knurl. I think I'll make one with the knurl. Thanks Lyle and hope you get well soon!

Made one of the Randy Richards thumpers a few years back . Very handy tool for the shop .
Very cute indeed. A simple project but the end result seems very rewarding! Thanks again and take care!
I miss video's like this. Thanks Mr Pete
NIce little project. Might be somethingI need to tinker with since I have the materials on hand.
Hope you're on the mend,looks like a good project,thanks for the video🤗😎🤗😎

Nice, simple little project. Hope you are starting to feel better.
It's rare to find the skills that you have in young people today. Great video. Thank You.
Nice little project, came out great!
Good Morning Mr Pete!!!

Excellent work sir. Thank you for sharing
Excellent job Lyle. And remember that anything with two sides isn't scrap
Nice little project. Hope all is well!
I enjoyed this video. Short, sweet and to the point.
A neat little project reminds me of trade school machine shop class!
I hope you are feeling better!!
Thank you Mr. Pete I hope you're feeling better.
I am!
Nice little hammer but I almost never need anything but the Randy Richard knocker. Thanks for the video keep on keeping on.
Nice little hammer , thanks, glad you are feeling better!
I’m glad you kept that hammer Pete.
The cost of such things is pretty darn pricey these days.
Thanks for the teaching
I'm going to try to make one on a lathe. Cool project
Nice video and project! I hope you are feeling better!
Thanks again
Hi Mr Pete hope you are getting better . That's going to be a fun project in between other projects .

great little hammer!
I will put a little counter bore where the handle meets the head, just for looks. Great little job, as usual. Thanks and hope you are doing well.
Lyle - Hope you're feeling better. This is a good little project - might just have to copy you. Have a good weekend.
Very cool. You gave me an idea to make one with Hex Brass Stock.
Nice hammer, I have one similar from my friend who passed away, love that hammer.
Another great one mr. Pete , with my big hands I think I'll make the handle longer and larger and try a bicycle grip 😎👍👍
I have had a little mushroomed brass hammer like that at my mill for over 30 years. Bought it for perhaps 1$ at a yard sale, I wonder who made it... Very useful item for knocking around small workpieces.

Hope you've recovered from the Covid well.
I am so happy you had these videos "in the can" so I get my does of Mr. Pete as you continue to recover from that dreaded covid bug. Take care Mr. Pete

That hammer has a lot of history.
Nice little project
In Coventry UK we called them knock ometers, hope your feeling better 🇬🇧👍.
great little hammer. I think I will make something like this myself.
Thanks , going to the workshop now to make one for myself now Dwayne NZ.
Have fun

Instead of knurling I just put shallow grooves on 1/2” centers. Has works well for 30 years.
Great shop made tool
Good job. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the neat project, Lyle. Best wishes for a speedy recovery, eh? dw
Making hammers is one of my favorite things to do. I often give them to family and friends; they appreciate it, and I get to make another hammer. Win-win.
I think I need to make one of these.
good hammer,mrpete.Thank you.
i think the hex bar was fantastic substitute for knurling.
👍
Good Saturday morning project! Assume you are now over the worst old friend!
I think you should also clean up the ends of the old hammer.
Hope you are feeling better Mr. Pete. Best wishes from down-under.
Excellent
Thinking I'll make one just for fun. Have rapper tappers already but not one like this.
Nice, now i make one myself 😊
Very nice short subject! Please update us on your health status, we are all pulling for a quick and complete recovery!
I am about 90 or 95% today
Lyle, what illness did you have?
I couldn’t find anything online.
Feel better my friend.
@@jimfiles3307Covid. That video was temporary and has now been removed.
Mr Pete…you should do a short video asking for subject requests
Hope your doing well.
Glad you pulled it out'a the trash! I would never toss that Beauty! 😀
Nice Mr. Pete. How ya feelin'?
Not bad
Round handle hammers are terrible. They'd have been better off leaving the 2.5" slug of brass as is. I'm glad to see you used something else.
Nice job 😅
howe are you doing mrpete ?
kind regards,
cheers ben.
Much better
@mrpete222 thanks for the update mrpete, i,m glad to hear you doing better !
kind regards, ben.
Nice hammer
Even more clever would have been to make the top out of copper.
🗿 Thanks mr Pete♥️👍
...don't knock it-(?)
