      Much more cost efficient to have chinese kids do this work, otherwise you'd have to sell that hammer for $500 to get your money back in $$/hr wage invested.

    18 years ago I found a 16oz ball peen hammer head buried in my yard.
    It belonged to an old man who was like a father to me after my step dad died.
    I spent weeks polishing and restoring. Then made a hickory handle, checkered the grip area and inlaid it with darker woods.
    When i was finished with it, it was a tribute to the old man. Leaving it like it was would have been wrong. Since he never owned a rusty tool that i ever saw.
    But, it was too nice to use...
    Deciding I'd done the unthinkable by turning it into the only thing worse than leaving the rust on it... And turned it into a tool that was... unusable.
    Realizing my sin, when I opened my motorcycle shop I pout it in my toolbox.
    And started using it...
    While the nicks and dings the old man put in it are gone from the rust, the ones that are there now, hopefully, make the old man smile.
    Everyone who sees it picks it up, turns it and looks at all the detail and polish that's still left on it. Then, ask me something that starts with something like "Wow, where'd you find this?"
    I tell them the story about the old man i knew who could virtually fix absolutely anything...
    Being reminded of him every time i see it is a kind of nice feeling i can't really describe.
    It helps me find the strength I'm in need of at times...
    So, I'm supportive of polishing hammers I guess.

So I said I'll have it! Lol. I remember the big bet the of a hammer from my childhood with him pounding nails in the top part of the handle to hold the head.duct tape still on the handle!

      Yes. For starters, the leather was wrapped incorrectly for use. The overlap should have been going down the handle not up. AS it is, use will tug at the leather trying to pull it off, rather than tighten the leather with age and use.

    Why on Earth would ANYONE use an aluminium handle? Your arm would go numb before you got started in earnest.

      Well, I don't imagine an aluminum handle is the best choice for a hammer anyway, but it all sure looks awesome. Probably softened the hammerhead a fair bit, but hammers can't be too hard anyway otherwise the steel will crack if it hits something too hard.

    Nice hammer head but I think you'll find a lot of the dislikes will come through people not liking the cast handle. It's a very polarising subject (cast vs wood) and if you want to use the hammer in future, wood is always the way to go. I really dislike cast handles and wouldn't downvote for it, but there really is no substitute for a quality hardwood well made handle with a well hung (fitted correctly) head - whether it be an axe or a hammer. Nice work though. Thanks

      The dislikes come from people expecting a restoration, as in the description, and finding a mirror-polished end result. Nicely done, but not a restoration.

    Great work but I certainly think a cast aluminum handle ‘cheapens’ this tool and probably throws off a good balance. Leather-wrapped grip is nice but better, slightly in-set, on a wooden handle. (Just my thoughts.)

    Your casting would have turned out better with less porosity, had you use water glass to bond the sand then rather the use of green mold, as there was a lot of vapors of steam coming out of the sand,
    You also could have improved the casting by preheating the mold considerably an then blowing the hollow out with air, an also using a bigger sprew at the other end where you had that small straw.
    Then you could have used brass rather then aluminum, an used a brown colored beer bottle as a flux to seal it from gasses while heating the brass. This would have given you a much stringer handle, an the use of water glass, also gets you away from the dampness with green mold. Another thing you could have done to improve the handle strength is to embed a steel rod in the center of the casting, but that requires a good preheat,

    With the handle, hardwood and a couple of wedges would have saved time, worked brilliantly, and given you a much easier time if you ever decided to change things in the future.
