Under the Rust: The Beauty of a Blacksmith Hammer. Restoration.

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Hello everyone!🙌
Today I have a big old hammer for restoration! This hammer was found during excavations. On this territory, more than 300 years ago, there was a large settlement of the Slavs. The hammer was severely deformed on both sides, we assumed that these were deformations from strong impacts on the anvil.
Restoration process.
This time I used electrolysis to remove rust. Thoroughly cleaned the metal for good contact with the wire.
I connected the second wire to a piece of stainless steel pipe. Used a car battery charger.
Instead of stainless metal, you can use any other metal part, but it is much more efficient to use a pipe, since the impact on the object comes from all sides.
After 6 hours of electrolysis, I only needed to wash the hammer from black plaque.
I used an ordinary handle from the market, but I corrected it a little for more convenient use.
I am very pleased with the result, and I hope you enjoy this video too (your likes are the best reward for me❤)

As a Blacksmith myself, I really like how you restored this hammer. Looks very unique!!
Thank you!!! For me, the best gratitude is when a master of his craft speaks so well of my work.
What kind of metel is it made of?
@@aprilshippy9202 steel, obviously! As for carbon in it... With such an old hammer there's no way to know. It may be crucible steel or bloom steel, and in both cases there's no way to know how much carbon is in there, unless you send this hammer (or it's grinded metal from angle grinding it) to lab analysis.
PLEASE be careful with electro-rust removal! That bucket, if it contains stainless steel, you just made a super-lethal cancer causing agent. So if you came in contact with the liquid after processing or even inhaled the vapors coming off, tell your doctor. Seriously.
Thanks for warning. But I think you're exaggerating a little.
In my last video, I got rid of the stainless pipe, and used an iron plate for electrolysis👍
@@ITBR_Restoration I wish I was exaggerating. Having stainless steel in your electric circuit, particularly as an anode, you will manufacture hexavalent chromium or chromium-6. Nasty stuff even in trace amounts. Please, tell your doctor that you've been exposed. Which is wiser, mention it and get out in front of any potential danger or do a Jim Henson and wait and see? And wherever that liquid went, it is still dangerous.
@@InformationIsTheEdge long term exposure has been associated to an increased incidence of cancer. If there are no acute symptoms of poisoning, he is fine as long as it's not constant exposure.
Someone provides a great information and a nice thought and the channel tells him he's exaggerating.
Real nice.
@Kirk MyDurk Sure thing!
Very unique restoration, and process. That is a French pattern cross peen hammer. I have to tell you that you hung in upside down, and the corners of the peen itself are far too sharp, but that won’t matter much unless you plan on actually smithing with it.
Thank you for your detailed feedback!
You are indeed right, I did it upside down🙈.
But I fixed everything👌, and posted a photo in the "Community" tab. I will be glad if you look!
While I love seeing super-shiny tool & knife restorations, I think the minimalist method used on this hammer was just perfect. It shows respect for the hammer. The many years of work that it endured at a harsh forge & anvil are preserved and exhibited in its irregular surfaces.
Thank you for your unique approach for the preservation of a tool from the past
I was pleased that you understood the meaning of this work. Just like you, I did not want to see this hammer polished.
Nice one!. Keeping the patina on the rest of the hammer head, bril!. Just can't stop asking myself, what has this hammer helped make!......
Thanks!👍👍👍
Sweet.
Thanks to! I'm glad you liked it!
You made it look nice... but failed to Restore it to working order. The straight peen is too thick & squared off, the front face has all those divots, & lastly the handle doesn't have any swells where you would want for forging. You made a nice looking prop.
Thank you) I will finalize this hammer.
The white stuff was not from baking soda. That was a reaction because you're never supposed to use stainless steel in electrolysis. Like you're never supposed to weld galvanized pipe because there are other more deadly materials mixed into that steel. I believe that residue was chromium which is actually very bad to inhale
I think you are wrong! Stainless steel together with baking soda is absolutely safe for electrolysis! If I used galvanized metal and, for example, salt, then there would really be harmful fumes!
Chad is correct I’ve used this method of rust removal for over 20yrs. One of the first things taught is never use stainless as it produces chromium which is very poisonous. Before sending me a you’re wrong message just google it,it takes 2 seconds and will save you from looking like an ass and 🤞you’ll have a little less cancer in your future. Ps I really hope you didn’t put your hands in that water or pour it into a municipal water way it’s highly toxic.
You are totally correct. Using stainless in the electrolysis process is deadly dangerous. It creates covalent chromium in the process which is one of the most dangerous substances on the face of the planet. It's one of those substances that once you create it you can't get rid of it. It lasts forever. Watch the movie Erin Brockovich and you'll see how deadly that stuff can be. It kills slowly. That movie is a totally true story how a power company dumping some of that poisoned a whole town and ended costing PG&E a fortune. You never use an metal on that positive electrode other than raw iron or steel. I cringed when I saw that stainless and wondered where he dumped that liquid.
Your crazy
What did “the lab” say about the rusty wood powder that you sent them? Any info about the age of the old handle?
0:25 The wood does not rust. But decay. We're calling it "The touchwood" my friend 😊 and the rust around the decaying hammer handle, comes from the metal itself. Greetings.
Thanks for the clarifications. Perhaps the translator did not translate my words correctly)))
This is a French style Hammerhead, and you mounted it up sie down in the handle, sorry...
Hey! You are absolutely right! I did it upside down🙃. The fact is that this is a rather rare hammer in our region, and I have never seen the original before! Thank you for noticing my mistake, you can also see a photo of this blacksmith hammer in the "Community" tab, I fixed everything and did it right)
I'd be proud to put such a hammer back to work, you never know, it might put a smile on the face of the man it belonged to!
Just put it in the forge and get it red hot and by the time that you have beaten the thing back into shape there will be no rust left you can rest assured of that
That's right, but then he will lose that hardening and hardness that was given to him at the time of his creation! Electrolysis is completely safe for metal, it separates only rust.
The main striking face should be ground smooth, with a slight crown, the rear striking face should be a half-round, not flat.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for my next project.
@@ITBR_Restoration, sorry if I sounded harsh, just trying to help.
@@fredk.2001 Don't worry, everything is fine! Thank you for pointing out the flaw in my work!👍.
"Learning from mistakes"😄
Way better than a mirror finish. Great beauty in the (patina?) leenotcharleen
I also like this natural patina much more!!!
all alright but the hammer is up side down,i have such a hammer from my father from 1945
Hey! Thanks for the comment)
This is a rather rare hammer in our region and therefore I have never seen it. I already redid it, and posted the photo in the correct version in the "Community" tab on the TH-cam channel. I will be glad if you look and rate👌
Well that was different 👍 great job. I love what you did with the handle. Very original job. Looks really cool.
thank you👍
Excuse me for asking, but where exactly was the restoration? You removed the rust, cleaned it up a bit and fitted a store bought handle. I'm not disputing the end result, which was good, but, to me, it seems to be half finished (like many of my jobs I'm afraid.)
Have a nice day!
I want to know your opinion. What should be the final result for the hammer to be completely finished?
@@ITBR_Restoration you should round off all the corners and smooth out the striking face while keeping it rounded.
Keeping as much the aged characteristics was a more attractive mood. I'd want to display it. If I had a place to display it.
А мне нравятся провода в плетёной изоляции! Такой винтаж!
I hate trying to watch your videos on snapchat. because I have to watch 5 minutes of adds for a video that's been poorly croped. I do love you channel on TH-cam though
Hey! I only post my videos here on TH-cam. On other platforms, someone else does it))))
Is there a link to my channel in Snapchat?
@Restoration In The Back Room I saw it posted on there and saw your watermark. But I couldn't tell you who posted unfortunately 😕
You mounted it upside down
Thanks, they told me. This is a rare hammer in our area, and therefore I have never seen it 🤦
heres a trick to sweep up debris, put tape on the paper down to the surface, sweep, pull tape up with paper, throw away
Thanks for the advice!😉
Try Arm and Gammer Super Washing Soda. Same company, better product for electrolysis. Carries the current much better. You find it in the laundry detergent aisle
Looks great but why didnt you restore and reuse the metal wedge?
Thanks to! The metal wedge was in poor condition. I don't think it would have survived being hammered into a new handle.
Ну на ремонт молота тянет а до реставрации далеко (
Amazing! I like how you kept the ancient look and not polish it.
Thank you!
But many do not understand this, and tell me that it should have been polished!
Why would you not clean up the face of the hammer? This makes this a very unusable Tool because now you will get indentations on anything that you hit that mirror the rough texture of the face.
Thank you for your comment! I planned to leave the hammer as historical as possible! As soon as I decide to work with this hammer, I will definitely polish his face.
Could have been sanded to look like chrome.
I can't understand why you placed the handle upside down. Just check "rivoir hammer" and you should see your handle was adjusted the wrong way. Unless I missed sthg in your restoration...
You're absolutely right! I did it upside down🙈. But I fixed everything👍, and published a photo in the "Community" tab, I will be glad if you look there. Thanks!
As a blacksmith muself, I really couldn't use the back side of that hammer for any kind of peening as the edge is so sharp. The edges of the cross peen should have been more rounded.
Thanks for the comment!
If I ever decide to use this hammer for its intended purpose, I will definitely correct the defect.
I have one just like this at home.I might restore it one day!
I feel satisfied and far away from anxiety with all these channel restoration. I dont Know why, but it keeps my mind calm. By the way, all old stuff are very atractive to me.
Excellent restoration of this Hammer. Cheers!!
You didn't clean up the face of the hammer.. uncleaned it will make everything you hit look like the face.... pitted.
Thank you for your help! I will definitely take the advice if I use this hammer for its intended purpose!
The hammer is upside down... The nose on this style of hammer(French style cross peen) is ment to be down not up as us carpenters hammer
Thanks for the note!
I have already been told about this))) I remade this hammer and published a photo in the "Community" tab. I will be glad if you look!
Lol I'm here
That's beautiful new but still holds onto some history
Glad to see you again!!!
I really liked the look of this old metal!!! Very soon on the channel video with a very old instrument!
Joli travail, par contre ça aurait été pas mal de le monter à l'endroit
This must of been the blacksmiths favourite hammer.we all have our own favourite hammer
Yes, now this hammer will be my favorite!!! My wife is starting to get jealous of this hammer)))
Haha 😂

Сын Бога,TOR. Знает шо молоток 🔨,на ремонте.
Все нормально) Молот с ремонта вернулся)))
Good, I'm glad you left most of it alone and didn't go to far. Originality is important with older classic tools.
Good job. 👍
Thanks for watching and for your opinion!!!👍
Il faudrait connaître le sens de montage d'un marteau avant toute chose...
Oui merci! Je l'ai corrigé! Je serais ravie que vous regardiez la photo dans l'onglet "Communauté" !
Клин сажать на клей - величайшая глупость ! Тот кто это делает никогда не работал молотком !!
Добрый день! У нас принцип, отвергаешь - предлагай) Как по вашему было бы лучше закрепить клин?
@@ITBR_Restoration В процессе работы ручка ослабляется , клин должен быть подвижен , чтобы вовремя подтянуть ( устранить люфт ) ! Занимаюсь кузнечным делом с 2000 года , молотков в работе около 50 штук !

what's that noise in the background, is it some sort of bird?
These are sounds superimposed during video editing.
Cool Mate!✌️✌️✌️I also recently started my channel with restorations because I really like it and it's a hobby for me✌️
Hey! Thanks, glad you like it.
Здравствуйте! Это не кузнечный молот. Такие молотки выпускала фирма по производству инструмента для связистов, электриков. Если не ошибаюсь в Австрии.
Why don't you find out something first? It´s French type blacksmith hammer (try google) :/ and there must be no sharp edges on the blacksmith's hammer!
Thank you! I already learned a lot about this hammer. I already did it) and posted a photo in the "Community" tab. I'll be glad if you take a look.
@@ITBR_Restoration It looks so much better this way ;)
@@hotelsierra7441 You're right! I also got used to this new look) And I really like it!
Nice restoration but it seems to me that it is mounted upside down
You're right! Thanks!
I already redid it, and posted a photo, in the "Community" tab. I would be glad if you take a look!
Ah, that cheap "Sounds of Nature: Birds, Vol. 2" in the background....
Just found your channel. Very nicely done. I really liked the stain on the handle. Most people just put linseed oil on it and leave it at that. One thing I have thought and this is not criticism to you but why do people remove the overhang on the head? I understand it can make it look nicer but I think it takes away some of the character showing just how much it has been used. Just my opinion. Will be subscribing. Have a great one.😀
Thanks for the detailed comment!
I do not know why they remove the overhang on the head of the hammer. Perhaps this way the work seems more complete.
I just finished my latest project and posted a video. I will be glad if you look.
And thanks for subscribing!!!

Very well done I like the hammer a lot! Perhaps I can give some insight on why he removes the overhang also known as knurl. For hammer to have too much knurl on it can be dangerous. As it builds and when hitting something it can ricochet off and cause harm to the user
it stuck because it should be knocked out from the haft side
👍👍👍
Что-то я не понял, а где реставрация?? Ты же ничего с ним не сделал, кроме как ржавчину снял и новую рукоятку))) ахаза дизлайк
With all these notes in your videos I'm starting to think you want us to subscribe.
No, no, I think you're wrong😁😁😁

Excellent job. Thanks again for a job well done!
Thank you for viewing and nice feedback on my work!
я ржавчину снимаю трилоном-б

Love it, looks like a hammer that has been used, abused but also loved. However isn't it upside-down? That is a French pattern I have a few of them. Still looks amazing top notch!!!
You're right, I did it upside down) But I corrected my mistake, and posted a photo in the "Community" tab, I'll be glad if you look.
nice work bro. We are dealing with similar things. I'm following now. Greetings from Turkey.
Thanks!
وحش جدآ
Привет всем! Я осенью такой же молот отказал в огороде!
Unless you are trying to emulate Odin the one eyed, I would not put a recess in the hammer body behind the hammer face. It may look cool but is a real stress raiser and will give rise to seriously dangerous steel splinters. These are bad news and I escaped losing an eye by less than an inch. Also, head is on back to front Otherwise nice restoration good job !
Thanks for the comment! You are right about the hammer head!
I already redid it, and posted a photo in the "Community" tab. I will be glad if you look!
I see you touched your finger on the grinder disc
oh those fingers! Something always happens to them!
If you watch the last video, you'll understand what I'm talking about.😁
I don't know how long it takes for a tree to rust but I have a piece of a tree that has turned to stone! (Petrified).
well done. only things id say are the face of a hammer needs to be polished and you need to take the shoulders off the wood where the handle fits in the eye.
I would have re-used the original metal wedge. That thing was not giving up.
A good idea!
Ma l'hai montato al contrario, quello ha il becco del martello francese.
Hai assolutamente ragione! È stato un mio errore) Ma ho già sistemato tutto. E ha pubblicato nuove foto nella scheda "community". Sarò felice se dai un'occhiata.
@@ITBR_Restoration Lo farò senz'altro. Quello è un martello tipo francese che non va bene per piantare piccoli chiodi. Il martello tedesco invece è ideale per piantare piccoli chiodi :-)
Если таким в кузне поработать, то от такой рукояти, все лодони вместе с перчатками сотруться

@@ITBR_Restoration, мне тока не рассказывайте 🙈
Ну тогда какие вопросы к рукоятке?
Soooo glad you didn't resurface the sides. I love that deep pitting you get from age!
I like it a lot too!
The best decoration of metal is its great age!
@@ITBR_Restoration You should sell some of these items! They turn out excellent and honestly, id be more likely to use a hammer item that has some damage (dont have to worry about scratching it etc.).
Potevi far meglio, guardati altri video simili al tuo e capirai.....
Super ❤🎉
Thank you❤
Probably would have worked great to put the hammer in a forge. Burn off everything and reshape the hammer
Thank you, I thought about it, but then the hammer would lose the hardening that was given to it during manufacture
Beautiful job on the restoration and I don't mean to stomp on your parade but I'm a blacksmith myself and unfortunately that's a brick hammer
It's a French pattern cross peen hammer. These were typical for the 18th century across much of Europe.
Thanks👍
Be interesting to weigh the rust...
😁I think the weight will be pretty decent!
Waw nice😘
🙏🙏🙏
Столько гемороя легче новый купить
The problem with leaving the "knurly" effect on the sides is a hammers sides and top can be used for many functions, even as a little anvil, does look cool though but , well, it limits it.
