Nice Koss! Liked the socket head cap screw instead of the typical wedge. Quite the hunk of Bog oak @¿@...makes beautiful contrasts with brass and steel pieces. Thanks always for you great content and creativity.
@@SimeonCogswell Good point. Agreed at some level but at 10:58 when he drills the counter bore with a drill bit (118°/135° countersink) it doesn't look like the depth is necessarily the same as the head height and at ~12:00 it looks like he may be cutting a taper ~2° on the head of the bolt?? Also my guess is the hammer head is maybe ~4oz and the press on fit he did should be enough to compress it enough for that small, light use. With all that said I may have put a bit of epoxy on it during assembly, just in case and it's still a pretty little light duty hammer.
This video is a masterpiece! The way you demonstrate the process of making a brass machinist hammer is both informative and captivating. Your attention to detail and skillful execution shine through every step. I'm truly grateful for the effort you put into sharing your expertise with the world
also making the entire head out of brass instead of having just the faces be brass inserts means your going to have to re machine a new head after 4ish months if you actually do a lot of work with it
@@RedAreshan It really depends on how much tapping you do. Maybe an insert would be better. But then I would avoid brass because brass bounces a little and that isn't anything you want while tapping pieces in with a machinist hammer. For an insert I would prefer copper. (Nevertheless: The hammer looks great.)
Neat! But I’m not understanding why you preferred to use a screw to fasten the handle to the hammer head rather than the more common technique of inserting a wedge. Was it for looks?
Looks incredible as always! But I'm not understanding how that screw is doing anything to keep the hammer head on the handle.. It's just screwed into the handle below the eye of the hammer, so the head could just pull right off, and the screw would be left there in the handle right? Unless it somehow expanded when you drove it all the way down and acted like a typical wedge does and pushed the wood out into the sides of the eye of the hammer! (But didn't look like it did.) I'm an axe guy so I use wedges all the time and understand that, but can't wrap my head around this screw method. 😂 Sorry!
As you may have noticed, I am turning this screw on a lathe to a taper. This way, when I screw it in, it wedges the top of the handle and holds the hammer head firmly in place. Perhaps it should have been filmed in a close-up to be more visible
@@Koss-channel I was thinking that! And you're incredibly talented so I figured you didn't overlook something like that. A cool and interesting way to "wedge" a tool!
It's not a different type of wood; it is oak, that was conditioned under bogs of rivers, lakes, swamps, etc. for long enough that it stains black and hardens.
I made a Copper Hammer as an apprentice. The Tool & Die Maker told me it looks like crap. I told him that I know it does, it's intentional. I made it not the most comfortable and definitely not the nicest because then nobody would want to borrow it from me :) That's the reason. It was heavy enough that it got the job done and that's all I cared about. I can make amazing looking tools if I want to but in this case... I didn't. hahaha
Привіт як завжди класна робота, маю маленьку пораду при роботі з цінними породами дерева краще клеїти до заготовки кусок простого дерева і за нього вже тримати в токарному патроні, щоб не пускати лишнє в стружку.
Что делать, если такие молотки уже есть в продаже? Что делать, если дома уже есть такой молоток? В магазинах для ювелиров такие молотки навалом, что делать?
This bog oak handle is phenomenal ❤
What a treat to watch Mr. Koss make something just as beautifully finished as always, but not a sharp edge in sight 😁. 😎
Nice Koss! Liked the socket head cap screw instead of the typical wedge. Quite the hunk of Bog oak @¿@...makes beautiful contrasts with brass and steel pieces. Thanks always for you great content and creativity.
But the hole was drilled out, it doesn't spread the wood so it doesn't do any.

Wow. I really admire your lathe and milling skills. The precision and attention to detail is outstanding. Well done Sir 👏

I wish I was you! That was just too cool. Very Nice Work.
Beautiful machinists hammer! Meticulously crafted!
Very elegant brass hammer.👍👍
That brass hammer looks to good to use!!
Stunning hammer, man! Really beautiful work!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you very much!
Extraordinary timid cuts in brass. Great end result.
Cleanest work I've come across on TH-cam. I love the accuracy.
Great work, Mr. Koss! Beautiful hammer! Cheers!👍😀🛠️🔧
A really nice looking hammer! But working on a fast turning machine like a lathe wearing gloves can be pretty dangerous. It can cost you a finger.
Those are just nitrile gloves. They will rip if you look at them the wrong way. No real risk of them pulling your finger in if they get caught.
@@theajthomasI wish you were right but these are not nitrile gloves unfortunately... are heavy duty rubber gloves 😅

It turned out beautiful .
What a beautiful job🙏🔨
excellent finish, great precision
Thor must be jealous!!!!! Excellent work!!! Congratulations
Hello Koss beautiful hammer beautifully done
制作工程は見ていて飽きませんね。
Amazing work👍

Agreed with that… I’m guessing he’s making a hammer to set work in his milling machine. It’s not heavy use and wouldn’t need more than the bolt
It really good, thanks for your video Sir.
Your work is creative
Very beautiful congratulations 🎉
Beau-ti-ful! 😯
Very cool video
GOOD , GOOD JOBS THANKS 😎👌
That hammer turned very nice. Great work. The only thing I suggest you it to give a proper view of your work at the end to showcase your art.
Nice hammer, you good job.
Amazing Craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏽👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
A piece of art😊
Love your use of the parting tool, if it works, do it
Super nice!
Muy bonito, buen trabajo. Te felicito 👏👏😉
Felicitaciones, muy hermoso y práctico. 👏👏
Great work but is wearing the gloves when machining on the lathe a safe idea? Be safe!
And a bandsaw too! Yikes!
Отлично сделал!
great keep it ON👍
It's hammer time, Koss!
Ke chingon es hacer ese tipo de trabajo, cuando c tienen todas esas herramientas. Muy bonito.

Amazing work
Awesome!
What a beautiful wood, I've never come across it before
It's not a different type of wood; it is oak, that was conditioned under bogs of rivers, lakes, swamps, etc. for long enough that it stains black and hardens.
Головки болтов забиваются цветной стружкой ,работа сверла без охлаждения тиски и станки большой лайк
Looks fantastic. You might have wanted to ease the edges on the head ever so slightly so they're not sharp, didn't "see" it done. Very talented work.
Looks great - a quality job! Is there any chance of getting a copy of the drawings for this? It would make a great school project.
You have so many tools and machines in yor workshop. Can you give us a list of what you use?
Beautiful result. But is one side of the striking surface wood?
Gorgeous
Que barbaro.

Very nice

That's what she said.
3:18 I was wondering how you'd get the curve. You don't need to lubricate tool head when cutting brass on a lathe?
Beautiful
Well done
Безискровый инструмент очень нужная вещь в шахтном производстве, БРАВО!
تماشای تولید وسایل بسیار لذت بخش است
Wonderful
Beautiful!!! What is the Ebony wood?
beautiful
Outstanding workmanship 👏👏
Beautiful! That block of ebony must have cost you a small fortune!
Did you put angle in that hole in the hammer where the handle goes? If not it Will Fall out like every hammer
Copper & bog oak, Nice color
Famoso martelinho de ouro aqui no Brasil 🇧🇷
That hole in the handle looks out of center. As a confirmed OCD person, it gives me the creeps.🙃😂
Awesome
It's such a beautiful piece that it would hurt me to use the brass end. LOL

I think I found the channel I'm gonna watch while I eat.
Wait, what does the screw going through the handle do?
Causes the wood to expand slightly, making the handle tighter in the head of the hammer.
❤❤ Varry nice ❤❤
Thanks
Beautiful Machinist Hammer. I would be hanging it on the wall, not beating anything with it! 🙂🙂🙂
Can you make a machinist hammer while being a machinist without a machinist hammer?
That's too pretty to use its a work of art. 😂
You can't have cake and eat it too
@@themessenger8656😅

Good
Awesome!
God I hate machining brass. It's like trying to cut gum with a saw. But it looks so good.
это, похоже, не латунь, а бронза сыпучка!.
@@СергейМакаревич-о2э That's what I always say.
*blink blink*
good job but the meeting poin off the should be on the same level of the handle so it would be smooth and more professional
