I think that if I was doing production work, I'd start with a Lathe and a slightly oversized handle profile template. Then shape the ovate profile tuned to the grain direction.
Was looking rough at first, but shaped out nicely. Thanks for the tips. I don't have either of the sanders/grinders you used, but still got some valuable insite. Thanks.
fair enough, and here everytime I was trying to round I was doing a constant spin, and my stuff keeps coming out off center ovals, for my props, and the lath is only so big for fitting stuff on to make round.
Hi what is a good type of wood to use? I have a lot of pine? But strength? Any reply appreciated. Love your vids. I've learned a lot of info from you.ive made a machete with high carbon steel. Make a forge. Also restoration of a bowie hunting knife. I reground the blade, made a nice new handle. Original was plastic! ( hollow) as well. ALCE brand. Looks real custom now. Excellent tutorials! Cheers from Australia 🙂👍👍👍
I was expecting a few shavings before watching this one, but I have to admit the layout technique is really well explained, no matter stock removal produces dust or whatever else ! Thanks for sharing.
When you put the addition on wasn’t the winter warm enough you guys were leaving the walls unsheeted for when it was hot in summer for the breeze, now that’s it’s freezing are you getting them covered or did you get that done earlier?
i was wondering if ironwood is good for making a handle out of it? since i have a big piece thta has been sitting for 20 YEARS! so if u see this please tell me
Great video and very informative. Question: where do you get your sanding belts. I'm having a heck of a time finding good sanding belts that either won't last past a few pieces of material or just plain fly apart while sanding.
Cool to watch but I don't have a huge belt sander and two nice oscilating drum sanders. I got chisels and saws and a rasp and box of old sanding paper. Guess I'll go make me a sandwich.
These are the type of videos I love from this channel

Is there a part two? To finish the handle??
Just found your channel - BRILLIANT video - you made that look so easy 🙂

Which woods are best for hand carving hammer handles? I'm talking very basic, primitive tool making here
Great video. I am going to try to use my drill lathe. Thank you

Its a matter of time, pure and simple.
What size stock did you start with?
Did part two ever get made?
Waiting for part 2
What kind of wood is that?
I’ve tried Red cedar with no luck I went to put the wage in the hammer head and it just broke all the hell
2 questions could the entire process be done on a drum sander, different grits of course?
Is your leather stitching horse painted silver?
Great information just what I’ve been looking for cheers
Did you ever say the dimensions of the blanks before you start ?
Cool ive had trouble with handles too thanks man
Why is that coffee pot empty! Great video
Your belt-sander is a beast !!!
How long is the hammer wood?
When you put the addition on wasn’t the winter warm enough you guys were leaving the walls unsheeted for when it was hot in summer for the breeze, now that’s it’s freezing are you getting them covered or did you get that done earlier?
We did it several weeks ago.
thanks man!
I appreciate the content you put up.
Is White Oak good for hammer handles ?
You can really stretch a quick job out.

I would guess so from a quick online search, I’d say give it a try.

Look up "Pops Knife Supplies", great folks and good belts
Very nice video. Thanks a lot
Can you tell me what is the other dimensions of the blank besides the 15 inches long?
Sure, 1.25 x 1.5!
Thanks for the video very helpful
Good to see ya man, been missing your videos
Yeah, good to be back
Great video, cool way to make a handle

@@renosgarage7451 what the hell I read your comment and did the same dang thing thinking it was an eye lash
Cold I am 2 hours due west of Atlanta- it was freakin cold earlier this week. In 60’s today
To the point. Thanks for the video.
Love the video. Hate the mid-roll ads.
Link to bench belt sander please
Look up Ameribrade
So where's part 2?
Same here..... Where's party 2?👍
Great Job on the Hammer Handle ! More good information !
How do I order your BOOK ???
Trentontye.com! New copies just came in!
@@purgatoryironworks
Thank you , Thank you ,
Thank you !
My proto body hammer needs a fresh handle, this should be good!
Come to Canada bud
I would rather use hand tools. A rasp, draw knife, files and use the belt sander for finishing and smoothing
Make a video 👍
wow you are really cool
My papaw had a pee-can. It was a old rusty Butternut coffee can he kept under the bunk at his hunting shack. :)
That onlyfans link was funny as hell
So I bought a sanding roller for my bench grinder to make a handle. Then realized hammers are only $6 and I spent like $50 for the sanding setup. lol
*insert sanding wood joke here*
GRACIAS GRACIAS GRACIAS
Weather and climate are two different things
So are internet comments and manners
