Making a Machinist Hammer (but TINY) || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Join me in my manual machine shop where I’ll be making a tiny machinist’s hammer. While my grandfather was a tool and die maker, it turns out my wife’s grandfather was a machinist as well. I was recently gifted a small ball peen hammer that was made by him during his machinist apprenticeship. This inspired me to make my own, but of course I had to put my own twist on it. My hammer will be made of a single piece of low carbon steel (though I would have preferred 4140 steel). I’ll be using various methods on the vertical milling machine, as well as getting into some elaborate (and possibly questionable) setups on the metal lathe. One of the key features of the hammer requires a special form tool. And as you’ll see, I learn a valuable lesson along the way. #inheritancemachining #machineshop #hobbymachininst Patreon (Early Access + Ad Free + Drawings) - https://www.patreon.com/inheritancemachining Drawings Store - https://inheritancemachining.com/?product_tag=drawings Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inheritancemachining/ Website - https://inheritancemachining.com/ Amazon Storefront (affiliate links): https://www.amazon.com/shop/inheritancemachining TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 1:28 Drafting 5:10 Preparing the Stock 6:24 Cutting the Outline 7:13 Turning the Handle 10:18 Starting Over 11:45 Turning the Head Side 1 13:00 Milling and Turning Head Side 2 FAQ Drafting Equipment (affiliate links): https://amzn.to/3P0HvMe A/V Equipment (affiliate links): https://amzn.to/3Pi45jB Editing: Final Cut Pro X Intro Song: Way Back Way Back When (Instrumental Version) - Gamma Skies https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/SQxEhTVi9I/\ https://youtu.be/J8qtSIwa7yo © 2022 Inheritance Machining, LLC.
