I worked with a guy who had one of these hammers. It is a slater's hammer. The point is for making holes in the slate for nailing and the 'sharp' edge is for trimming the slate. Lovely tool, I was quite envious !
Glad you identified this hammer. I was curious but after reading your comment the way it is made makes perfect sense now. Thanks for your insight. Very nice restoration!!
What a shame for that old leather handle. The new wooden handle completely cracked anyway, so you could return to this project and make a new handle with the leather washers.
Beautiful work - until in the end you put on a poorly made wooden handle and IMHO spoiled it all. It's a hammer used for roofing with slate. As soon as the sun shines, it gets incredibly hot there, so they intentionally put on a stacked leather handle. It provides a good grip even with sweaty hands. You should remove the wooden handle and make a new stacked leather one in its original shape, that would be nice and a restauration to be proud of.
First of all thank you for the feedback, it really helpes me out. The reason why I removed the leather handle and put a wooden one on are that the old handle lost its heat and sweat absorbant abilitys over the years and I have not worked with leather yet so I cant make a new leather handle. But I admit that this handle is not my proudest work and I will replace it in the future once I repaired my lathe.
@@woodhammerproductions1170 - nothing special about a leather handle, take a piece of thick and sturdy, untreated leather, cut it to pieces, make a hole for the tang (tight fit), and start stacking them. To make it look nicer, dye some and create a pattern or take coloured plastic chips (copy the original pattern). Watch "DiResta Tool Restoration: 3 Old Rusty Hammers" (jimmydiresta). For the original functionality don't treat the leather, for decorative purpose you may treat it with whatever balsam, oil or wax you want. As no glue is used, you can replace the handle as often as needed. Give it a try!
Yea, that was really unfortunate. I hollowed the handle out a bit with a round chisel and glued them together. I have used it a few times nowand it holds together well

Yea, if someone knows how to use this tool, its really satisfying to watch him make those slates. I could not agree more

das hast du mal gut vermasselt das Schraubgewinde und der Holzgriff beide kaput 😂
😂 "Kaputt"
This was amazing to watch 👏👏
Thank you for the support
Pity that you removed the easily restorable Lester disk handle.
you have a point there but the handle was unconftable in the hand and thats why I wanted to make a new one
I use this tool on a daily
Pity the wood handle cracked while putting in on what did you do to fix it?

It is used to shape slate shingles
Yes thats right, unfortunatly I dont own the metal bridge to lay these shingles onto nor the shingles themselfs ^^
good job
Thank you, I appreciate it
