TinkerTailor, Nice work on the Ball Peen Hammer.

Reminds me of when my buddies and I built a 1927 roadster.

I took a air drill and polished the aluminum transmission of a close ratio four speed to a mirror polish.

It took me months, oh but to be young again at sixteen.

I do enjoy tools and I am always looking for good used tools.

No credit to take here, that is as purchased new. It is the only new hammer i have ever owned and i got it in a quilting store, of all irony.

I was saying i am going to refinish the handle because i much prefer a natural finish, beeswax or linseed oil. At that time i will polish the head proper. In the pic, it is not proper yet.

I should post the guys that make hickory replacement handles for most hammers in the USA if anyone wants to know:
