I would like to see a titanium hammer if it's possible.

As a man who made a living swinging a sledge hammer in the dimension stone industry I can appreciate the aesthetics and enduring quality of the copper and brass hammers. You're a true craftsman.

Zinc will do it. White fume fever

Nice to see that you didn't overheat the molten brass and allow the zinc within to vaporise and create dangerous zinc oxide fumes. I had a few doubts concerning the wiggly sprew, but it worked out great.

We use brass in oilfield when working with volatiles when we don’t want sparks that could cause explosions , nice job

I've used a brass hammer a lot in refinery work. It won't spark and that's nice when you're working with flammable gasses floating around in the air.

Did you spray CO2 over the core or was just being exposed naturally enough to harden?

KZread frames your comment without me opening the section, leading me to assume you are top comment, and I'm surprised he hasn't answered yet because of that.. Regardless, I know next to nothing about this stuff, but he seems to outline steps pretty well if he thinks they are important and he didn't say, so likely he doesn't spray it... Just my guess.

It’ll harden on its own by just being exposed to the air, but you can also spray it to harden it faster

Don't know if other people have commented, but brass tools including hammers are often used in industries where there's a risk of fires and explosions caused by various gases/vapours. I used to work on drill floors on rigs in North Sea and we kept a set of bronze tools, alongside the usual steel ones. Hammers, spanners/wrenches, etc. We'd only use them on occasions where there was an increased risk of gas escaping, and we'd have gas detectors all around the area.

When you're being gentle with placing things into the sand molds, do you ever think to yourself, "Jenga... Jenga..." lol

i never would have thought that mold would work without a vent hole! Nicely done!

Your videos have a wonderful calming quality to them.

That looks fantastic and came out of the sand looking real good.

Wow this turned out amazing

well both hammers are beautiful....it certainly is nice having all that great equipment.

Can't wait for the Mithril Hammer casting vid! :D

You are one of the most skilled YT casting channels I know. Always looking forward to new videos from you. Kind regards from Treasure Island

Love your workmanship.

Your videos are so calm and relaxing

Beautiful results

Beautiful hammer. I'm 60, and my grandfather taught me how to put handles on hammers. He would have the fit very tight. You couldn't quite get the handle in. He would start it then flip the hammer over and tap the end of the handle with a wooden mallet. This would drive the handle into the head. Over time the handle will absorb and lose water making the handle lose. He would seal the end of the handle with varnish.

I ' ve been keeping brass pieces and old keys with the idea of making a small bell some time. Thanks a lot!!!

It’s good to see someone melting with a diy built furnace that came out very nice! Good video good melt and cast.

That was really impressive work with the sprue.

Very cool. A brass hammer is a very useful tool for working with metal since steel hammers will deform what you're working on. This is basically the metal equivalent of a rubber mallet.

Thanks for tapering the hole. That's a pet peeve of mine. :)

Piękny młotek i warsztat. Robi wrażenie, pozdrowienia z Polski.

You really have a good sense for color contrasts.

Beautiful craftsmanship

That was a most satisfying project to watch! Thank you.

That came out beautiful

I like both the brass and copper hammers. This program is inspireing to me, to go make another casting project.

"There's nothin' like a nice piece of Hickory" ;)

Ur really a flawless sledgehammer maker

The hammer looks professional!

Beautiful work 👏

Glad to see you’re using that skeleton hammer!

Beautiful work! 👍🏻

The sprue is also pretty cool. 👌

A fantastic artwork !

very impressive work!

Great cast

excellent job, it looks great

Great looking piece 👍🏼👍🏼

I watched a different channel today about making a framing hammer out of titanium. This was much easier...LOL. Great video.

One word: Phenomenal! 👍👍👍 Just subscribed to the two links you provided. Brother's looks fascinating. Thank you.

Perfection. Nicely done.

the only thing lacking is the correct grain on the hickory handle. The grain must be parallel to the direction of the hammer swing. The handle you chose has the grain perpendicular to the direction of the hammer swing. This is because the grain perpendicular to the swing is not nearly as strong as the grain parallel to the swing and will always end in a split handle and there goes your hours of work on the handle. The casting and polishing was great.

Amazing work as always!!!

You are an excellent craftsman.

A good dark oil if you would prefer instead of stain is True Oil. I’ve used it in the past at least on some black walnut and had good results.

Looks great....Allways been interested in casting hammers.

Stunning!

He has mastered the force

Excellent work, awesome video. Keep it up.

Just, damned awesome !! great job !!

Of all the youtubers that do something with casting, I think you top the crown... You explain everything meticulously, instead of filling everything with annoying ASMR :)

Looks amazing thanks Shoe🇺🇸

Really cool, i had 2 thoughts that i think you should try. 1- Why don't you model up an item that can double as the sprue/pour hole for any item you want to cast. For example, the wavy line you carved could be a snake. Surely this way you can get 2 castings at once and have a "cheap" item sell on your site. 2- Because you don't need the integrity of a 3D model, it would save you print time and material if you hollowed out your 3D models hope this helps!

so cool that you're a wizard now!

Not sure if you've tried this or not but a brass or copper axe or maul would be awesome to see. Preferably one that can be used for splitting wood.

Hatch and Axe next? Also thank you for describing what you are doing, learning about this kind of stuff is fun.

I really want to get into this sort of thing. I see Jonathan noted the use of a respirator with multi gas/vapour cartriges. Im open to any sugestions on links etc that would be helpful in getting the propper equipment to get started, also the do's and dont's of smelting metal. I enjoyed this video, love to polish metals of all types and really want to give this a go.

Great work again my friend! really enjoying your videos!
