10 KG Hammer Restoration. The result looks crazy. Restore
This time I restored a very old rusty bent hammer. I bought the hammer on Ebay for €8. Restoring this hammer really wasn't easy. You had to grind a lot. Then polish the entire surface. A pattern was ground into the top and bottom of the hammer using the Proxxon. I bought the wooden handle new. To make the wooden handle look special, it was processed with fire. I am very happy with the restoration. The result is impressive.

  • As a metal worker myself two errors was made first for a block of metal that big you need to heat it first in a furnace before you try to fill any cracks for the weld to stick solid what you did is just surface cosmetic . Secondly you should have squared the edges by heating and hammering not cut anything off to maintain the weight of the hammer. By saying that after all you done a good job considering how it used to be.

    • A beautiful restoration. But is it genuine Viking? In which case its history, recorded in every dent and scratch, has been erased. The remains of the original handle could at least be carbon dated. Or maybe the term 'Viking' is referring merely to the design and it's not an original.

Even if it was, it's not likely thousands of years old like you'd expect. I think for a tool like this, whoever made it probably would've wanted it to be used. It could easily outlast every person that uses it and I kind of feel that a tool like that deserves to be used. It's full of history but chances are it'll still show signs of its creation a thousand years down the line

Great camerawork too with the macro lens! Edit: Wow, so many experts in the comments section critiquing the work as if it was meant to be a tool for hard work when what he's actually doing is transforming an old hammer that was once upon a time used for work, but is now an art piece to be displayed. I think that much is obvious when you see all the trouble he went through to make cosmetic additions and changes. This isn't some hammer that's gonna be used in a metalworking factory subject to OSHA regulations and all the other regulations that would go along with it, chill out lol.

  • Gorgeous. Sehr gut! Have you thought about using citric acid to remove rust and oxidation? It takes longer, but there is less metal loss. Also, have you thought about using forging techniques to hammer things back into shape (also preserves metal) before cleaning and polishing the surfaces? The dimpling could also be done with forging instead of removing more metal with a grinder. I’m trying citric acid with Rusty railroad spikes I found and plan to try forging them into knives someday, and so they look good.

  • Made for an entertaining video. The exhibition of skilled hand work was evident. But that finished hammer would be destroyed on first use. The bevels all need to be rounded on the striking surfaces or those cracks will immediately return. The rear cross pein is meant to be rounded. And the handle grain orientation and size is incredibly important as head weight increases. With skilled use, even a perfect hickory handle will give out regularly because of the forces that weight imparts. Poor grain or one missed swing is an automatic death sentence. I once restored and used regularly a 20lb American sledge for driving splitting wedges and demolition. It's just standard maintenance replacing handles throughout regular use, and guaranteed to break through poor handle choice or user error. It's somewhat sad use of these massive hammers is a thing of the past, but understandable when you consider the strength and precision needed to use them regularly and the skill it takes to continually keep them maintained.

But I understand your point. edit: looking at the video again, I have many doubts about that being a 10kg hammer anyway. Not large enough, not enough steel. And the way the "restorer" picks it up, holding it at the cross peen end between forefinger and thumb? That would be incredibly difficult without immense training and practice due to the leverage forces it would induce. I'd be surprised if this isn't a 2.5kg hammer. Looks to be the right size for one.
