NORDIC HAMMER Rebuild

I rebuild an $8 cheap Nordic hammer and give it some awesome viking modifications.
ABOUT THE NORDIC HAMMER
I bought this hammer in the local tool store for 8$. The hammer had originally a really ugly look with a red plastic handle and some very bad metal finish.
ABOUT THE HAMMER REBUILD
I started by removing the cheap plastic hammer handle. After this I annealed the hammer head in my gas oven by heating it to over 800 degrees Celsius and slowly let it cool down. Then I grinded some way cooler angles on the hammer to make it look more Nordic. I also welded/filled up a deep stamp the producer had done in the metal and did some improvements on the metal finish, so it looks way more cool.
I hardened the hammerhead again and did a quick cleaning job after the heating process.
I gave it a nice polish on my flip table bench polisher machine and did some really cool laser Nordic Viking engravings on the side of the hammer head. I re-used an old hammer handle for this project and decorated it with a little metal piece with a Nordic viking rune on. I also burned the wooden handle with a blowtorch to give it more character. And finally I gave the handle some Nordic teak oil.
I am really satisfied with this hammer rebuild. I think that this came out Awesome and the runes and viking engravings really gives it that Nordic touch!

There was a time when tools were crafted by hand and the artistry of the maker was a way to show the pride he took in his work. You are a true living example of that ethos. Stay well my friend.

[@AwesomeRestorations]

thank you so much David for your kind words :)

[@alexmeza392]

This was a true class of art, design and tradition. Impressive the transformation of a common hammer into a collector's item. I bet the manufacturer doesn't want any more boring hammers. I love Nordic symbolism, I have tattoos. A pleasure to see your videos again and hear from you. Thank you!!

[@AwesomeRestorations]

Thanks Alex... I always appreciate your kind words 👌👍💗 have a wonderful weekend, cheers

You are incredible! You imagination and craftmanship is second to none! I love your videos, I find them meditating.

I'm really not one for watching restoration videos. But I have to say, once I saw one of your videos I went back watch them all, one after the other.
I am truly amazed at your work and this is just another prime example of why I am glued to the screen watching your every restoration. ❤❤

[@AwesomeRestorations]

Wauw... Thank you so much Tanya ❤️ i really appreciate your kind words 👍 cheers from Sweden 😉

[@Fantasygod930]

The Norse God of crafting whoever might be would be proud of your work👍

[@darth_yoda]

Brokkr Would be insulted to be called a God.. After all none of the gods can forge as well as even a dwarf half his talent!
THe Norse didn't have a god of forges. The closet was Brokkr the dwarf that forged Odins Spear Gungnir and Tor's Hammer Mjölnir

[@veraduarte1117]

I love these kind of projects! Taking a mundane item, and giving it a true personality! Awesome work as always Martin. Though I'm an American, and a Christian minister, I'm very much in touch with my Viking ancestry, and wear a high-relief Futhark ring every day. Thanks so much for another gem of a video brother. God bless. Rev. D.

[@AwesomeRestorations]

thank you so much for your kind words I am really happy you liked it :) have an awesome day

[@jimbusmaximus4624]

That's really cool! A minister that wears the runes! I know a couple Christians who have read the old poems, but they don't admit it publicly haha

[@eloquentsarcasm]

I would lose my mind having a shop like yours! I'm sure you have "mundane" things to do to keep the lights on, but to just have the tools and space to let my creativity run free would be mind-blowing. I'm teaching my boss the basics of blacksmithing and he's gone all in at a pace that amazes me. He's gone from basic forging to making pommels and cross-guards and is thinking about trying his hand at forge welding already. That Works and your channel are commonly ones that I recommend to him for ideas and knowledge, the skill and creativity you guys have is astounding. Yet another great piece of work!
