Hammer restoration. Turning old tool into a masterpiece

Hammer restoration Handle needs to be replaced No options This guy has seen a lot Sandblasting isn't the most beautiful process in my perfomance My files can sound horror movies Sanding grit from 180 to 600 I masked the areas that I will polish Make the surface smoother Preparing the surface with acetone…..for bluing! My favorite process Remove plaque with a soft metal brush After five bluing procedures Do you like the result? Leave a comment! Maybe ….. it will do? NOPE I'll make a new handle Basic shape made by plane Smoothed by 180 sandpaper And polished by 400-600 grit I burn the handle Again sandpaper grit 600 Dust removal after sanding Treatment with vaseline oil to emphasize texture Done!.
