World's Lightest Hammer To Keep You Swinging All Day 

"The real carbon fiber hammer is the friends we made along the way" New life quote!

The fact you can see the plaster on Mitchell's tongue during the lick test, tells you that he's truly dedicated to his craft.

The carbon fiber hammer is what some people would call the "apprentice hammer" can't do a lot of damage, takes forever to get things done, and needs someone else to help fix their mistakes.

He's upgraded from the lick test to a straight up take a bite test

Still not the best carbon fiber skill, but you are getting somewhere now. You should try to make a light handle out of carbon fiber but have a very heavy head, this should make the hammer most efficient.

What a complete waste of time. I love it.

You used a grinder to cut the head off a hammer when you own a waterjet?

I’d be interested in seeing a second attempt where you leave more metal in the head. I bet at a certain point you’d be able to make a hammer that’s just as effective that’s at least a little bit lighter.

I’m sorry they don’t pay you enough to afford shoes Neil

well now you need to make the world's heaviest standard size hammer using lead and tungsten

Can’t really imagine anyone ever accusing you or this channel of ‘not being manly’. A rabbit hole I never knew I’d enjoy falling down. Subscribed, keep it up

10:17 mom? there's a strange man outside with bare feet hitting a plank of wood wth a hammer like a caveman

Can you make the world's heaviest hammer?

When my mom and dad got married my mom gifted my dad (electrician) a hydro formed aluminum handle and a solid titanium head, still the coolest hammer I’ve ever seen.

To your credit, there is probably a good application for this if you are mainly hitting smaller trim nails (the hammer head used is for trim nails) basically as good as the full weight one for tiny nails, but much lighter.

That plaster looked really thick. A little runnier and it might have worked better for casting a mould. Also mixing all the lumps out would probably help too.

You're doing a great job taking over with the projects. I'm still as interested as I always was. ☺️

Thoughts on having some sort of vibrating tool (maybe the back end of a multitool even) when pouring the plaster to vibrate some of the air out like they do in concrete? I have zero idea if it'll work. Just a thought. Been binging your channel since I found it. Y'all rule.

I love the way you edit these

I mean this was interesting, but I would like to see more. The entire point of carbon fiber is its super high tensile strength, but it has very low (basically none) yield strength, hence why people make add the resin and make a composite out of it. The problem being that the resin makes it brittle which for its usual uses isn't really a problem. Would be interesting seeing the same carbon fiber resin composite used as like a wrap around a hardwood core might make it a lot tougher and still pretty light as well as give you a little extra mass for driving the nails in. All that said a hammer which does most of it work using the momentum of its mass isn't exactly a good tool to make lighter.

Now you just have to make some carbon fiber nails and you're all set!

Just waiting on this channel's name to change at this point. Was the channel sold?

if this guy never produces a video again it will be too soon

An "I hardly know her joke" alright as an old guy I approve 👏

Didn't even cut the hammer head off with the jet. What gives?

I like when you hit the carbon fiber hammer on the nail it makes a higher and higher pitch kinda like a game where you need to combo to do a task

For the love of god can you PLEASE listen to the fans and address why Dan and Mitchel no longer host the videos? By not addressing it you’re killing the channel. If they don’t want to do it anymore then just say that instead of just vanishing with no explanation with only appearing in a couple videos as cameos.

That chef John reference came outta nowhere I was pleasantly surprised

As a spendy shortcut for resin control, pre impregnated carbon fiber has an optimal-ish fiber/resin ratio. It has a finite shelf life and needs to be refrigerated.

Carbon fiber sword, with razor blades lining the edges. I don't know if it'd be rhe worlds lightest, but definitely the world's first.

A work of art if not the most effective tool and gets us one step closer to the fabled bat.

Underrated channel

The respirator joke caught me by surprise

im so glad i found yall's channel holy shit

Now that's a cool hammer! My dad would have loved that!

Love the chef john reference!!

THIS IS ART!!!

"the real carbon fiber hammer is the friends we made along the way" Beautiful.

This isn't even the waterjet Channel anymore. What happened?

The weight of a hammer, if used correctly, is what does the job.

I had no clue this was you guys until I saw the spoon dip into the plaster!

mold making RTV is a great molding material

I love the subtle humor throughout the video

It worked better that I thought

I'm so glad you didn't break it.

This man's wittiness, I love it.

“The real carbon fiber hammer is the friends we made along the way”

I'm pretty sure there should be a minimum effective mass for the head where making it any lighter will drop out your potential driving force with an average swing. You know "1/2(mv^2) = mgh" 'v' is obviously the more important variable in kinetic, but without sufficient mass there is no potential.

those tasting are literally the best. you can see its in his mouth and everything

Have you guys did any more upgrades to that power wheel?

That was some musical wood you put nails into.

This turned out much better than the carbon fiber bat! I love the music it makes when hammering a nail too.

be useful for picture hooks, framing, anything light with small nails/staples ya know...

Instant like with the lick test

Less weight equals less force. Hammers work because their weight is able to pound nails in easily.

Hammering the wood straight up probably did more damage to your bones and joints than to that hammer! Honestly impressive, considering how meh it is as a normal hammer.

This video breaks the mold for the hammer industry

I haven’t seen Dan in these videos for a bit. Is he still around? I hope everything is alright. I haven’t seen all the videos they’ve done as of late but I have noticed his absence. If anyone knows more I’d be thankful to hear.

amazing infomercial.

can liquid metal be used as a replacement for resin?

The scene from Hercules was a good addition.

Are you guys ever gonna tell us what's going on why did hosts switch? We'd like an answer.

I imagine that if you carry tools and rarely use a hammer then a light but inefficient one might be the one for you.

Respirator? I hardly know her - My favorite quote to date

Null hammer skills are masterful. =P

Some people dont seem to like the non waterjet stuff. I personally do. More content is never a bad thing. Also, make a hammer and or bat purely out of flextape and or flex seal liquid.

When your sanding use a higher grit and wet it to expose the texture....I don't think it will hurt it

I will stick to my Titanium Stiletto TB3 hammer. But I guess nice try and make to to wear some PPE when messing with carbon fiber.

you can hear the nail sing as you drive it in the wood with the lighter hammer

I keep thinking "could have used a little more head" and then instantly "That's what she said".... 😂

That red wood 2x4 from home depot is really hard to drive a nail into. Would have done better with a white pine from home depot which is a lot less dense.

Worth it

For what it is, it’s not too bad

You're like lightning with that hammer! You never strike the same place twice.

I was thinking that you could of cut the bottom of the handle but putting a metal head makes sense

the chef john reference holy moly

Carbon fiber baseball next

When I was working with concrete, we would cover the threaded rods with grease or petroleum jelly to stop them from getting locked in.

The spoon scraping across the plaster made the hair on my arms raise :S

@ 2:24.. That plastic spoon scraping across the plaster made me want to die. That "nails on a chalkboard" stuff usually never bothers me.

It at least sounds a lot cooler than the regular hammer when you hammer nails in.

Where are Dan and Mitch????

So whats up with those cars ?

Did yall hire a professional carbon fiber guy or was there that much learning going on bt videos? Awesome either way.

What if you used a whole hammer head and then epoxy and carbon handle?

The lighter the hammer the more work the muscles must do to compensate - depending on application. Bob the Builder would be proud of this video

I like the safety shoes

2:49 I died when y’all said in unison oh no

I remember my first time driving nails...

you could do a lead head for the hammer and see how big of a nail you can drive

I think a better application would be a carbon fiber handle, probably a few layers worth over some sort of light core material.

This is the only channel where u actually eat the forbidden food.

After seeing a video by the action lab, the hammer isn't putting as much energy into the nail.

make another carbon hammer and add lead pellets soaked in resin into the head end as you resin in the steel head to make heavy mass

When you pull out a tough nail, insert the hammer all the way down to the wood and instead off pulling it back; push it sideways. It’ll wrap the nail around the hammer and easily pull out the nail. Remove the hammer and repeat

You’re gonna regret not wearing a respirator when cutting/sanding that

It's funny how little people, who don't use hammers professionally, know about hammers and hammering.

Carbon fiber vs your air cannon or cutting carbon fiber batarangs or knives with the water jet would be cool to see

When is the "Forged in Waterjet" episode?!?!

"It's hard in some places and not in others." Me: That's what she said.
