About: I was pfred1 but moved, changed my email address, and lost my password. I suppose worse things could happen.
I got so much junk I don't even know where half of it came from. Such was the case with this chunk of brass bar I had on one of my workbenches. I was using it to hit stuff I did not want to mar up so badly, but I was just grabbing it and using it like a savage. One thing I do not have though is a brass hammer. So I decided to make one out of this beat up old piece of brass I had.
The last thing I was smacking with this chunk of brass bar was a roofing hammer I was putting a new handle on. So I guess I have been in bit of a handling kick lately. But on this project I was doing it the hard way. I made the head fit the handle, not the traditional fit the handle to the head, like I have done so many times.
Anyhow this was all new to me and I didn't know how it was going to come out so I didn't start taking pictures of it right away. I wish I had a before picture of the piece of dirty old brass. I took a picture of the beat up ends so you'll just have to use your imagination.
