Limited run Brass Hammer paskmakes.com/the-pask-makes-brass-hammer/ I always enjoy making tools and I reckon this one came out awesome. It was an interesting project from designing it to working out how to make it. I also figured what I did wrong on the etching. Even though I know better I forgot to etch in a plastic container inside of a pan of water, I reckon this caused a galvanic reaction.

Love your work……kayaks were cool…..hey you ever think about some tutorials…..explaining techniques, phraseology, tools/machines for novices……gods bless

A few drops of ferric chloride on a piece of sponge works really well for easily and controllably etching copper (and presumably brass). It should take a few minutes of light dabbing/rubbing at room temperature. I've used both ammonium persulphate and ferric chloride for etching PCBs, with the latter being much faster, better and easier to use.

@davidblalock9945 Год назад

Nope, you’re not allowed to say that. No patting yourself on the back. Arms weren’t designed to flex that direction. Patting back is the job of your audience. Please don’t take our jobs, thank you very kindly. Now, Bravo! Amazing work! By the way, handles in your wood of choice would be much more premium here in North America, where hickory handles are as common as sin.

A truly beautiful tool. I could spend hours just dreaming about how jow joyful it would be to smash my thumb with such a creation, but with the current state of my finances I'm afraid I'm stuck with the smooth sea stone that I bound into the crotch of a tree for fifteen years until it had grown in place. But I did subscribe just so I can torture myself with future temptations.

@larrybud Год назад

I actually like the pitting in the logo. If you hadn't said otherwise, I would have thought it was deliberate. If you don't like it, you could always do a paint fill with enamel. It would level right out, and really make the logo pop.

@RichardMerrill3Hawk Год назад

I was going to say fill with black epoxy, but either would work. I love the hammer.

@PaskMakes Год назад

I reckon pitting can look great on an etch. I liked the etch I did on my brass padlock where I stippled the background. I did think about painting the logo but I wanted it to be more subtle and not stand out too much. :)

@milesparris4045 Год назад

@@PaskMakes I like the deep pitting, makes it look like hand stippling.

@UnwelcomeGuestVideos Год назад

@@PaskMakes just a thought here, but would it be possible to fill it with solder and then sand it flat? Might be a more subtle than paint.

@cquiles386 Год назад

Watching your videos makes me feel like a kid sitting in the workshop with his kindly, hardworking dad entranced by what he's making. I've enjoyed the calm, positive demeanor you bring to your videos. You're not just passing on knowledge or entertainment through these videos; you are also passing on life lessons in planning, flexibility, persistence, and taking pride in ones work. It's been really fantastic being subscribed to your channel and I've enjoyed the sentimentality that your videos bring. Been sitting on letting you know this for a while as I don't tend to write comments but in the end it felt important to let you know.

The pitting actually looks great, it almost looks like it was peened on. Thumbs up 😀

@georgecunningham9175 Год назад

I have absolutely no need for a hammer such as this - so why is the urge top own one so overpowering??? Seriously, your design sensibility and your craftsmanship still fascinate me, and I look forward to each video. They are all so well produced, informative, and amusing - a standard for other creators to strive for.

@I_SuperHiro_I Год назад

We’re men, and it’s a beautiful, handmade tool. That’s why lol.

@joebonomono5078 Год назад

It could have been anything, a paperweight maybe. I don't think it's the hammer you want posses, it's the time, skill, craftsmanship, design, effort, etc that went into the hammer. You appreciate what it took to make the hammer. This says much about you as a person and it's good.

@PaskMakes Год назад

Thanks very much George! Glad you appreciate the design and enjoy the videos! :)

@caesar2164 Год назад

To get the lathe turning to be less grabby with brass: lower your flat top (which is normal to the surface if at the correct z-height for facing, which gives it zero rake) HSS tool in your tool post so you make your tool have effective "negative" rake (ie not normal to the contact point)

@PaskMakes Год назад

Thanks of that, I'll keep it in mind for next time. :)

@axialmount5571 Год назад

excatly or you can grind a negative rake in the tool

@milesparris4045 Год назад

No, you're not allowed to say it's pretty cool looking, because it's very cool looking.

That hammer is simply gorgeous. I'm envious! It's great to see you doing more machining on the channel. Your filming is always so well lit, so crisp and nicely framed. The small, tasteful amounts of camera movement are perfect. Awesome result with both the hammer and the video.

@PaskMakes Год назад

Thanks very much Craig! I'm really enjoying machining even though I'm still learning, I think that's why I like it so much. :)

@samanthadean1083 Год назад

Very cool hammer, Neil!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

@therealemmpunkt Год назад

Cutting wide grooves: It helps if you move the form tool slightly left-right while cutting, so you are not cutting with the whole diameter at once. Makes the groove a bit wider and the radius at the end is not really a radius anymore, but in this case i don´t see a need for precision... Another beautyful project👍

@PaskMakes Год назад

Thanks very much! That makes sense as it would be halving the area being cut. :)

@elisabethreeves1786 Год назад

Oh! Did you notice the reflection in the saw blade when he was cutting the slot for the wedge? Really excellent shot!

@SquishyThing 9 месяцев назад

A tip for brass, it work hardens so you want to take off quite a lot at a time. If you cut too shallow the tool just pushes the brass out of the way and hardens it, turning it brittle and ruining surface finish.

@Typersx1 Год назад

Lucky enough to order one! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

@dieterjosef Год назад

I do not like throwing around the biggest praise easily but I found myself more than one time during the video to hit the like-button seeing that I already done it. Thank you for this video.

@threeriversforge1997 Год назад

Looks fantastic. If anything, a dab of Cold Blue in the lettering will just speed up the patination process and give the logo more of a black color that stands out from the rest of the brass. I love how the pitting looks, honestly. It really looks like something that was made in the early 1900s.

@PaskMakes Год назад

Glad you like it Vaughn! I did think about cold blue as well as painting it but I really wanted it to be more subtle. I was disappointed with the pitting as it wasn't planned but I'm still happy enough with it. :)

@AW-pz3qc Год назад

I quite like the hammered appearance of the logo and noticed your etch pan wasn't plastic, because many moons ago when I did etching, I remember lining a tray with thick black plastic. Just gives other options for varied finishes, not a mistake at all, imho! Love the hammer.

@PaskMakes Год назад

Thanks very much - glad you like the hammer! I realised just after editing the video what I'd one with the etch (directly in the pan), I knew better but just switched off when setting up to etch. It wasn't too disastrous though. :)

@keithgoldston2859 Год назад

@arfamortis1 Год назад

@Pask an easy way to reduce chatter in brass is lower the tool, making the cutter run negative rake. I'm a retired instrument makers, 50 years in trade.

@danpinto1322 Год назад

What about shiming the rear of the cutter up to create a negative Rake? Wouldn't going lower have a variable Rake based on depth and work radius?

@R.Craig.Collins Год назад

As always, a great video
