- 10 KG Hammer Restoration. The result looks crazy. Restore
This time I restored a very old rusty bent hammer. I bought the hammer on Ebay for €8. Restoring this hammer really wasn't easy. You had to grind a lot. Then polish the entire surface. A pattern was ground into the top and bottom of the hammer using the Proxxon. I bought the wooden handle new. To make the wooden handle look special, it was processed with fire. I am very happy with the restoration. The result is impressive.

Great Video MW Restoration!
Thanks you my friend 😊👍
@@MWRestoration does thor know that you can make his hammer aswell 😂😂
It's not a hammer but a MERLIN in french, to split the wood parts before you put it in the fire.
@@MWRestoration You know when you use that magnet to clean up if you put it in a sandwich baggy it would be a lot easier to remove the shavings. 👍🤟

When welding on steel this thick and old, you will get better quality welds if you preheat the base material to 400 degrees. - A Lincoln Electric employee.
As easy as that file was cutting I’m not sure if the remaining hammer face was even hardened.
I don't think this person is interested in using proper techniques.
Just another copycat who's bought the tools, but doesn't really know why. So they make justifications for using them.
^^^ tool jelly 😂 or what?
I noticed that this guy has a pretty good set of tools, leads me to believe that he knows what he's doing but honestly I love old hammers for their character and I believe that he has removed all traces of that character
agree, saying this is a restoration is a bastardization of the meaning of the word
Yeah I agree I liked all the cracks in the hammer it had way more character!
Then buy an old hammer and shut up. This guy has incredible patience and skill to do this.
I agree. This is not a restoration. He just made a (nice) new hammer.
I thought the same thing. If that was a legit viking hammer he ruined it by removing all the imperfections. He does great work and it came out bad ass but it was pretty disappointing at the same time lol
Turning 10kg Hammer into a 9,95kg Hammer...what a beautyfull Work!
This is how you turn a rescuable hammer into paperweight!
As a metal worker myself two errors was made first for a block of metal that big you need to heat it first in a furnace before you try to fill any cracks for the weld to stick solid what you did is just surface cosmetic .
Secondly you should have squared the edges by heating and hammering not cut anything off to maintain the weight of the hammer.
By saying that after all you done a good job considering how it used to be.
Thanks for your long comment and tips 😊. It's always nice when you can share your knowledge 🙂.
I was watching this thinking exactly the same two things.
As a carpenter, what he did to the handle was painful to watch.
@@Gnefitisis As a fool about to re-handle a sledgehammer, what do you recommend? I'm not going to polish it or burn the handle, I plan on using the repaired sledge. This video is an art/metalwork piece but that new tool is basically useless if you want to keep it pretty IMO.
the only thing I would of done different on the handle after it was put in the hammer it would of set in a bucket of water for a few days that way the handle would never come loose
I love his videos. Straight to the point. No dumb background music. Only music you hear is the sound of work
Absolute therapy watching this channel. No music, no words, just a master at work with great camera angles.
Check out Bertram's channel. Bushcraft with no talking or music. Just ambient sounds of nature. It's pretty awesome. czcams.com/users/RuneMalteBertramNielsen
Love the restoration! Only problem now is it's too beautiful to use.
Use it, like a tool should be. A perfect legacy would be to see someone restore it again in a hundred years.
YEP‼️
"The surface is badly scratched ..." SO WHAT???" IT"S A HAMMER!! IT WORKED FOR A LIVING!! REMOVING ALL TRACES OF ITS HISTORY IS SACRELIGOUS !! People who think that "restore" means "put back to pristine condition" are loonies who end up destroying more antiques than they preserve !!
I won't watch this guy any more...
This is the gayest thing anyones ever said
Oh great. Another item "too good" to use. Beautiful
Now the hammer stands nicely on my closet as a decoration. My friends said that they also want such a hammer 😅. But I'm not selling my hammer. He's just too beautiful 🤩
@@MWRestoration my wife still lets me take my hammer out every now and then
@@MWRestoration Nice to start with a prime piece of steel. Well done restoration. Handle needed chain on end. Wonder how many met their end
By that hammer !!
@@MWRestoration thor wants to know your location 😎
You took an actual useful object and turns it into what?
Visually speaking, It's a piece of art that is very striking.
Haha...
But never again to be used as a hammer.
@@rairai3517 right. No pun intended…
@@captainoates7236Millions of restored items are displayed as pieces of art or decoration, never again to be used for their original purpose. Stop feigning offense!
You've made a very pretty item. Just wanted to mention that the starting tool is neither old, nor unusual, and has nothing to do with vikings. Just something left in the corner of the barn for a few years.
I agree. If that’s touted as a Viking Hammer then this man should be jailed. There should have been markings of the maker and of the owner and the battles fought . Aaahh lying seems to be the normal for these supposed professionals.
@@heavyrockfarm bro its a restoration video of a damn hammer
@@blazortheepic0384 A hammer described as a viking hammer
Thank you. Finding this comment took longer than it should. Clickbait indeed.
Wow, who could possibly wield a 22 pound hammer except Thor himself? ;)
Amazing how that well used and worn hammer became a trophy piece. I love the hammer tone on top and bottom. Nice burnishing too. I am so glad you shared this. Thank you. A true craftsman.
Many thanks for the praise 😊. But it really wasn't easy to grind the hammer down. I didn't have any CNC or milling machines available. That's why I had to do most of the work with the hat. But the end result looks incredible. I already forgot all the hard work 😅
@@MWRestoration beautiful job, your very organized and neat. I appreciate that. Now someone has a hammer that is now a piece of art that could sit on a mantel.
That was so far above and beyond what I expected! Great work!🙌👏👍🙌🤯
OMG, totally ridiculously uneccesary level of polish...I love it. Looks gorgeous! Great job.
Thanks 😊
Ya had us in the first half, not gonna lie
yes I believe he is never going to use the hammer haha
This is incredibly satisfying to watch. I love hammers.
You put a lot of work into that. Being a traditionalist when it comes to tools I would have stopped at the mirror shine. I would hang that on my wall though.
Too nice to use as a tool!
Thought the same. the texture looks cool, but all those little scratches in the divots are a great place for rust to start, even with it being blued. A mirror polish and a regular oil wipe seems like it'd keep the hammer rust free for longer.
@@Sensorama2000 After all the work he put into it I wouldn't use it either.
Wow. this must have taken SO much time, effort and patience. Mad respect for your skill and work, and wow, I'm not really into wood but that piece of wood is absolutely beautiful, specially after it was burned and cleaned up (had never seen that done before). Great camerawork too with the macro lens! Edit: Wow, so many experts in the comments section critiquing the work as if it was meant to be a tool for hard work when what he's actually doing is transforming an old hammer that was once upon a time used for work, but is now an art piece to be displayed. I think that much is obvious when you see all the trouble he went through to make cosmetic additions and changes. This isn't some hammer that's gonna be used in a metalworking factory subject to OSHA regulations and all the other regulations that would go along with it, chill out lol.
Beautiful!!!!
I am always game to add another restoration channel to my list of subscriptions... but my standards are pretty high. I would rate the restorations of yours I have seen so far on the level of Mr. Patina, My Mechanics, Not So Terrible Restorations, Tysy Tube, Cool Again Restorations, and others... I am subscribed to several. I am happy to have found another channel! Great work!!
Not sure I'd call this a "restoration", lol. But sure is a work of art.
Thank you for your comment 😊.
I've watched 100s of these type of videos and this was is certainly one of the best ever. Great work my friend.
Not really
beautiful job
Nice job 👍 over did it 😊
that looks bloody gorgeous, amazing job
You dare to change a whole mans-life-work into your own. You are a hero.
[restoration channels] *”so I stole this 1000 year old relic from a museum and destroyed it to make a modern hammer”*
Though it looked good in the end, he definitely destroyed it
I love watching such restorations videos. This is not the work for every ,Tom, Dick and Harry. This is the work of PROFESSIONALS. Very impressed, indeed.
I love that it came in looking like a rusty stone. Gorgeous outcome!
I am impressed by your tools and how you keep them , your interpretation on refinishing a working tool is outstanding. I can’t imagine ever putting it back to work . It will make an excellent wall hanger - congratulations on a job well done
Thank you very much for your kind words! The decision to either restore a tool for functional use or turn it into a decorative piece like a wall hanger can depend on personal preferences and the tool's condition. It's great to hear that you're impressed with the craftsmanship and the end result. Your feedback is much appreciated! 😊🔧👏
Work of art. Shou sugi ban was a gorgeous touch.
VERY HANDSOME RESTORATION!!!
That thing is sick! Lot of work getting the mirror finish, you did a great job👍
Thank you very much restored channel 😊.
I had to grind so much 😅. That was absolutely insane 🙈
Mighty impressive video, slot of time and effort, not only attention to detail has gone into this, very impressed with the finished look 👍👍⚒️
Thank you for your praise 😊. It really took me a lot of time. But the result looks beautiful 🤩.
Less restoration and more transformation. Awesome job and cool hammer
every imperfection was a look into it's use and age. You did a good job, but personally I would have stopped after removing the rust. I think now it just says how good it can look compared to previous condition.
Honestly removing the mushrooming and cleaning up the face can actually be pretty valuable. For use in blacksmithing, having a clean, flat face to work with is pretty important. Plus, it can have pieces break off when it's mushroomed out like that
A beautiful restoration. But is it genuine Viking? In which case its history, recorded in every dent and scratch, has been erased. The remains of the original handle could at least be carbon dated. Or maybe the term 'Viking' is referring merely to the design and it's not an original.
Y'all take this to seriously,...🤣😂😅😂🤣😅🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼
@@chrislowe7350 I figured it might have been in reference to the style or size of hammer just because it sounds better than "cross pein hammer" but it's not impossible it was actually used by vikings. Even if it was, it's not likely thousands of years old like you'd expect. I think for a tool like this, whoever made it probably would've wanted it to be used. It could easily outlast every person that uses it and I kind of feel that a tool like that deserves to be used. It's full of history but chances are it'll still show signs of its creation a thousand years down the line
What a waste of time
How is it a “Viking” hammer I love Viking history and was wonder if you could elaborate
It's not, obviously. Still really cool, naturally, just not Medieval artifact.
It’s not, the hammer looks like it was from the 50s or 60s. And is a very European style of hammer
That has got to be one of the most beautiful hammers I've ever seen . Fantastic workmanship ! Absolutely Stunning !
Oh yeah, the "Callus Buster". Looks amazing tho.
I really liked the video, except for two things.
You left cracks on the face, they will get worse.
Also why did you square off the cross peen? It's supposed to be rounded off, squaring it off makes it unusable for it's designed purposes.
Both of these issues assume that this is going to be used instead of just put on display.
You're right. But my intention was not to use the hammer, but only to exhibit it as decoration.
Hopefully it's going to live in its appropriate place a wall hanger.
Wall hanger is fine and dandy, but with no crown on the striking face it looks weird.
Looks awesome
If it's an ancient viking hammer he did the right thing.
I'll be honest, initially I wasn't a fan of the texture you put on the top and bottom. however, after you put it all together, I'm very impressed. This is a beautiful restoration. great job
Amazing! Beautiful! Gorgeous! Such wonderful talent. Very envious of your skills and especially your tools! 😉
That’s a bad ass hammer my friend!!!
Start to 11:25 "Yes... yes... beautiful. So pristine."
11:30 "He ruins it precious!"
It's a matter of taste, some like it and others don't
Gorgeous. Sehr gut!
Have you thought about using citric acid to remove rust and oxidation? It takes longer, but there is less metal loss. Also, have you thought about using forging techniques to hammer things back into shape (also preserves metal) before cleaning and polishing the surfaces? The dimpling could also be done with forging instead of removing more metal with a grinder.
I’m trying citric acid with Rusty railroad spikes I found and plan to try forging them into knives someday, and so they look good.
Nice video showing us every tool in yur collection
Thanks buddy. 😊
Old hammers have spirit, Thor is always blurting about it.
Super Leistung, nicht nur deine Arbeit sondern auch deine ruhige Art zu arbeiten. Richtig beruhigend 👍
I like the pattern you create using dremel, give a nice touch
Me too. the surface looks beautiful 🤩
Beautifully made.
Incredible restoration
Great video MW.
Was the dimpling an after thought? Seems I would have not spent the time sanding and definitely not polishing to a mirror finish if the intent was to dimple with the black contrast.
Yes, I only got the idea after the fact.
This was exactly what I thought too 😂 awesome job he did anyway the dimpling made it look aesthetically pleasing. I like the flamed wooden handle as well.
Now it is a piece of art.
👨🎨
Bravo man, Bravo!!!!
Thanks 😊
Every time I see you do something like this with different tools it makes me jealous. I've been thinking on what I might have just so I can try this for myself. I finally remembered I had a full set of ball-peen hammers that was my grandfather and he gave them to my father and now they are mine.
If winter ever ends I'm going over to my garage to give this a try.
I really love how you finish this all. As always I made sure to give you a thumbs up and I'm already a subscriber so I can't do that one again for you. Look forward to your next video
I am very happy that you liked the video😊. I also thank you for being my subscriber. Have fun with your project with the hammer 😎.
Maybe don't start off working on something so sentimental. Go to a local flea market or thrift store and buy some junk to work on first so you don't destroy something you can't replace.
U wont work in ur garage if its cold out? Thats like half the year or more.
Wow I'd love to have that, just beautiful, especially with the mirror finish, but I wouldn't have a real use for it other than actually using it and it would be just as bad as it was before, great job
Thanks very much😊.
You're right, it would be a shame to use the hammer now. As a decoration it is beautiful 😎
I would use it to make another big hammer in the forge.
Behold, Mjölnir! To each craftsman their own labours and loves.
I appreciate your organization and also the creative designs with the restore And camera work. ✌️
Was this a relic of the old age? If so, why would you do this to an ancient artifact? If not. Well done.
Well it is his item to mess with. So it doesn't matter if the hammer is 2kyrs old or 2yrs old.
From the looks of it, I’m 99% sure that’s just some old forge hammer. Definitely isn’t a Viking hammer like he says. But it’s still a nice restoration.
@@wholewheat467 just a simple 5kg sledgehammer.
That 100% is not a actual Viking hammer. It's just an old sledgehammer. You can tell because this large of a piece would have been made out of soft iron in Viking times. That would have been way more gone if it was a thousand years old.
@@stompingpeak2043 Not necessarily. If this were an actual historical artifact of some kind (it absolutely isn't) there are actual laws in place that would limit what could be done with them. It depends on where you live, where the item was found, where it was purchased and so on, so what could be done to it restoration wise is very situational
As a person who knows nothing about this skill, how is this considered a "restoration?" Couldn't the same thing be done by starting out with a chunk of metal and leave all the character the head HAD, that you removed, alone?
It does look cool. I'll give it that. :-)
IIRC there is something about hammers specifically that they get better over time as they are used. Each impact fractionally improves the crystalline structure of its mental... or something.
Might be an old wives' tale though.
Agreed. What he did was skillful, but a shame. That hammer showed decades of use that I found interesting! This was not restoration.
A true masterpiece ! Now Thor wants it back !
At least you show proper grain alignment in a handle ,very important!!
Outstanding! That hammer would never see a nail 😁 more of a chilling in my living room. Inless the world went to crap an had to use it. (for build purposes of course) But either way great video.
Is this honestly how the hammer looked back when it was created? If not, then not really a restoration. Restoration is the preservation of an item as close to original as possible.
Yeah, I was thinking..."...its a HAMMER....no moving parts..geez"
I think the idea was to get it better than before, and I think he did that quite well. I thought it was beautiful.
Restomod
Why do you have to be an asshole? Nobody thinks that you are the authority on anything.
Gorgeous!
Thanks 😊
I really like what you did to the handle
Loved it but I would have sanded the burnt wood more to lighten it a few shades......but wow imagine the old-timers that weighed 155 lbs soaking wet, hammering spikes with that bad boy all day...what a bunch of tough sobs.
155lbs being within healthy weight range for an average height westerner male.
But okay
@@TheMijman by anyone definition a 155 lb full grown man is very small man to be hefting a 25 lb hammer all day...a man at 245 would have a hard time let alone to do it week in and week out.
@@robertlee9069 The body adapts quicker than you might think. Especially to something with a handle.
But I understand your point.
edit: looking at the video again, I have many doubts about that being a 10kg hammer anyway. Not large enough, not enough steel. And the way the "restorer" picks it up, holding it at the cross peen end between forefinger and thumb?
That would be incredibly difficult without immense training and practice due to the leverage forces it would induce.
I'd be surprised if this isn't a 2.5kg hammer. Looks to be the right size for one.
@@TheMijman 13 years as an Infantry Seargent I get what a body can take...the body does not do well with repeated motion injuries....like swinging a hammer all day week in week out..i know you have seen it.
@@robertlee9069 Yeah, fair enough.
Spent a long time in parts of the world where electricity is a luxury.
I once knew a guy who swung a sledge for 20+ years in processing plant. Didn't have an ounce of muscle where he didn't need it. Looked like you could blow him over.
But he wasn't half bent double.
You've got a lot of negative comments, so I'm going to show my support. This is a great restomod. You made it your own and it looks beautiful. To improve the function you could harden it before the final finishes/sands.
Absolutely beautiful! You’ve got mad skills.
No they really don't
Perfect and nothing more to declare.
Great! How much will you charge to restore my dad? He's old and rusty missing a few parts that once made him a great man. I can ship him in a box to you lol.
I don't know enough about people to restore them 😅🙈
This looks like it was a really fun job
Thanks 😊😂
Made for an entertaining video. The exhibition of skilled hand work was evident. But that finished hammer would be destroyed on first use. The bevels all need to be rounded on the striking surfaces or those cracks will immediately return. The rear cross pein is meant to be rounded. And the handle grain orientation and size is incredibly important as head weight increases. With skilled use, even a perfect hickory handle will give out regularly because of the forces that weight imparts. Poor grain or one missed swing is an automatic death sentence. I once restored and used regularly a 20lb American sledge for driving splitting wedges and demolition. It's just standard maintenance replacing handles throughout regular use, and guaranteed to break through poor handle choice or user error. It's somewhat sad use of these massive hammers is a thing of the past, but understandable when you consider the strength and precision needed to use them regularly and the skill it takes to continually keep them maintained.
Thanks for the long comment 😊. You are absolutely correct 👍. I'll probably never use that hammer. it would be too bad. The hammer is now on my closet at home.
He has made that into a War Hammer and purely a decorative piece at that. It is never going to be returned to the duty it was designed for.
@@ladamyre1 Not to be a troll, but obviously not a war hammer. The thing weighs at least 12-16 lbs. He's made a curio, and an interesting video, but a nearly useless tool and completely useless weapon. My only objective was pointing out things he could have done but didn't to return it to a functional state. He could use the info on his next "restoration".
10:33 polishing it's amazing you make the hammer like new one and pattern it's so amazing excellent 👌
I came here just to say: it’s just a hammer… a big heavy hammer… but I bet a “wiking hammer” will get more views…
There's nothing Viking about that hammer. It's less than a hundred years old. If you did that to an actual Viking hammer, it would be a travesty.
Yeah, it really annoys me when they smack on "Viking" infront of any tool and then be done with it. "Viking axe" and its just a regular agxe you can buy at any store that sells tools and then they use an angle grinder to make the beard shape, and and some engravings and suddenly it's a "viking axe". Naah
Don't forget he used his Viking welder and Viking right angle grinder too, oh and his Viking vise 😂
Except that it takes a Viking to use it properly.
The inverted scissors are the best part of this video.
Clean work.
Thanks 😊
From working man’s tool to comic book geek toy. No reason to disparage the Vikings in the process.
It looks amazing!
Amazing hammer
thanks 😊
I preferred it at the start. You could see its history and all the blood, sweat and tears that had made it that way.
Beautiful work
It occurs to me that "Vikinghammer" would be a terrific name for a heavy metal band.
I really enjoyed this one mate 👍 👌
I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can assist you with, feel free to let me know. 👍😊👌
Viking hammer, wow so cool, so much wow....
How to transform a perfectly good tool into a cosplay prop. Awesome.
Nothing less than fascinating 👀
Such worthy talents like this have nearly become a lost art. This was a treat to watch! Ty sir 🧘🏼♀️
Not a lost art, and it was kinda crap not gonna lie
There really is a world with too much time on it's hands!!!
Beautiful craftsmanship on this!
Eeee, well done again, it's a great honor for me to see another person with precise attention to detail and his wonderful work, well done and respect from old BG.
It gives me a lot of pleasure when people comment positively about my work in the comments. Thank you very much for watching the video and enjoying it. Until the next video. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Thor has been looking all over for that one
Never saw anyone do a distressed surface like that before. Quite attractive, like a jeweled finish.
You should play the song "Hip To Be Square" from Huey Lewis and the News when you show the effectiveness of this tool to your guests. 😂
That would be in stories passed down through the generations. If it was used. Almost mythical!
Wow, what a beauty!
That was awesome!
Worthy of Thor.👍🏼😎
Highly skilled wow!
