MINI CROSS PEIN HAMMER RESTORATION

This little hammer restoration is more of a filler video while I wait for the arrival of some materials and parts for some other projects. I already have a couple of other projects in progress but I can't finish them yet until i have the materials and of course some time.
It has been over a month since my last video, and with the delays of the other projects I figured I needed to upload something, so after a route around a box of old hammers I found this little cross pein and thought it would be a quick project to upload in the meantime.
The handle was in pretty good condition so I decided I would try to keep it and reuse it on the hammer. I started by trying to remove the wedge but it turned out that it didn't even have one. I sanded the head with various grit sandpaper before polishing it with compound on a polishing wheel. I sanded the handle and refitted it to the head and used a copper wedge. I tried to fit a oak wedge but because it was so thin the wedge just kept snapping, The look of the eye and the wedge is not great due to some of the handle being lost when removing it at the beginning but the head is on tight. I finished the handle with some clear wax.
I was tempted to use some resin to fill out the eye but I couldn't decide whether to do it or not, I may put some in at some point in the future.
Hopefully if all goes well i should have one of my other projects finished in the next two weeks so be sure to turn on notifications to be notified when i upload.
Thanks for watching, and I hope you stick around to see my future projects.
