A homemade bronze hammer with a cedar handle can be used to work with different sheet metal blanks. Moreover, it should be noted that such a hammer does not leave marks on the parts, and also does not cause sparks upon impact.
For the manufacture of the "head" of the hammer, the master uses a bronze round log, from which it is necessary to cut a workpiece 7-8 cm long. The diameter of the hammer can be different - at your discretion.
After that, it is necessary to make markings on the workpiece, and drill a groove in it on a drilling machine. After all the holes have been drilled, you need to modify them with a metal file.
The manufacturing process of a bronze hammer with a cedar handle
Next, at the ends of the bronze blanks, you need to carefully chamfer. Then the master begins to manufacture the cedar handle of the hammer. He uses a lathe to process the workpiece. Then the fitting is carried out.
At the last stage of work, the cedar handle is inserted into the "head" of the hammer, and then wedged with a wooden wedge (also from cedar).
Additionally, the master drives a bronze wedge into the end of the handle. After this, the finished product is finished.
