This video is my entry into the #toolfest2021 video series. This is my construction of a riveting hammer based on the plan from Mr. Pete. I have wanted to build one of these since I was in high school metal shop.
Plans for this hammer can be found at;

Many thanks Steve. We made hammers to these specifications in Jr High School, but with hacksaws and files. It was an exercise to get things plane and square, and the face, particularly needing to be "right". When we were done the face was heat treated with Kasenit. We had it easy. An old Navy machinist told me he was given a chunk of grey iron and a file and was expected to file it into a perfect cube of a specific dimension!
Thank you for watching and commenting. I use the hammer all of the time. The proportions are just right for a small hammer.
Nice project Steve. You can never have too many hammers.
Thanks 👍 for watching and commenting
A good little project for a workshop therapy session, nicely done!
Thank you, enjoyed your project also.
Nice one Steven. The heat treat and handle could even be another episode. Cheers, Craig
That is the plan, thanks for stopping by.
Steve, new subscriber this morning, but see and learn alot from you and the gang every Sunday on the ARW Discussions. You must be class of 1971 or there about's as I am...Fun, I too was brought you around automotive, but made construction my career from '71-2004 ( year retired from). Started building street rods & classic car restorations in 1996 and still pays most of the light bills. Wasn't till 2016 I stumbled into machining, and now has become a great addiction (@@)!! My Bride of 50 years doesn't complain about finding Starrett - Brown & Sharp- and other vendors tools showing up on our pouch regularly, think she likes it that I spent 95% on the time in our shop,,,hehe! Great entry for this toolfest,,Thx and may we all have a safe and healthy Holiday Season,,,Bear in Tx.
You are close, Class of 1970. I joined the family automotive parts and machine shop business in 74' after graduation from collage. I sold it in 1995 but continued in aftermarket distribution until semi-retirement in 2013. Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing.
Nice project Steve. I recommend surface grinding then lapping for a mirror finish.
You would, thanks for stopping by.
Looking good Steve. If it were up to a vote, I vote you grind it after heat treatment. Would give it the extra bling. Thanks for sharing. Gary
That seems to be the popular opinion. Looks like another video to come. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I'd definitely run it on the surface grinder, it looks great now but think you can make it look way better on surface grinder!
It is starting to look that way. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Better late than never, nice one Steve👍
You are right about that. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Heat treat and grind, definitely!
That seems to be the consensus. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Nice hammer. I think we made one in shop class.
It was a shop class standard. I just never got to make it. Thanks for stopping by.
Hammer time!
You have that right. Thanks for stopping by.
Very nice work Steve.. you must be pleased with the outcome...
I am! More to come as I harden it and run it through the surface grinder.
Nice work Steve.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Nice job Steve
Thank you for watching and commenting
50 years! That's even longer then it takes me to get to projects..lol..
Looking good though
LOL, wait till you see how long ago started working on a Stuart Steam Engine kit.
is going to be a useful little hammer.
I think so too, thanks for being a friend and spearheading this program.
Nice project.Thank you.
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Good luck on the contest!
This one is for fun. No competition on this one. Thanks for watching.
G’day Steve. Would you believe that’s exactly what I do for a living (Industrial arts teacher). We used to make these in the high school workshop on the small shaper and lathe. It was one of the first jobs I had to teach as a beginning teacher back in early 2000’s. Thanks for the video Steve. Cheers Aaron
That was my plan when I went to school. I transferred into the mechanical engineering technology program before the end of first year and received my 4 year degree in engineering and joined the family business upon graduation. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@sharkrivermachine it’s great to hear back from you Stephen. I’m thinking of doing a couple of school workshop tours for you fellas. Cheers 🍻
Nice one . We had meat tenderising hammers to make at school . But same story , never got to make one either !!! Cheers .
Thank you for watching and commenting. Looking forward to your next video.
@@sharkrivermachine There should be a short special one coming this weekend as well !
Interesting. One of my college machine shop class projects was we had to make meat tenderizing hammers also.
Good build….enjoyed
Thank you Chuck glad that you enjoyed it.
Nice project and video. Thanks for sharing.
My late father-in-law started his own automotive engineering shop and I worked for him during vacations, but my career path (and that of my wife) took us out of town when he sold up to retire. I enjoyed the work immensely.
I sold the family business in 1995 but I continued in the automotive aftermarket until I retired. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Well done Steve, it should look like a million bucks after the heat treating and surface grind..
ATB….Dean
Looks like that will be a future video. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Steve, thank you for sharing the little details as you progressed through this project. A lot of the other channels would have skipped them, especially those using the bigger machinery. However, my mill-drill is close enough in capacity, I think, to your mill's capability, that I believe that watching you describe the little details was very worthwhile for me! Thanks again for sharing!
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and commenting.
Hi Steven, not sure what this tool is for but came out nice! Cheers...
It will look more like a hammer once the handle is installed.
Interesting project it's turned out nice. Are you making your own wooden shaft?
I have handles in stock. I plan to fit one of them. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Lol. I think I've seen this hammer build somewhere else :-)
That was my inspiration, wanted to show it being built on a vertical mill. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Steven when you was cutting your stock off where you putting wax on the saw blade or what was it.
I is a wax stick that is made specifically for saw blades. I like to use it in place of coolant or oil because it is cleaner. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@R. Steven Lang, Shark River Machine thank you. I wasn't sure and it never hurts to know my need to look into it. I much appreciate your videos.
@@michaelhale4041 KBC sells it for like 10 bucks I think.
@@hilltopmachineworks2131 very good to know thank you Tom
