hey y'all I'm gonna build another war hammer and this one I'm gonna sell at a
gun show excuse me I did I've been sanding and I wasn't learn a mask anyway
this is one of the hammerheads that I got at a flea market I got a whole bunch
of different ones here and this big hammer here some things that I'm going
to turn into war hammers but I just thought I would make one and see if it
sells and this is a busted shovel handle that I've already used a couple of
pieces off of for other things and this is the end of it and I fashioned a
little point on it and these little indentations here are where I'm going to
paracord wrap the handle and I'm going to sand this all up nice and smooth and
use a tung oil finish on it this hammerhead was about an edge longer but
it was so mushroomed over that I just cut an inch off of it and I'll make that
look purdy I'm just basically shaping it this took my god a half a grinding wheel
does it come out straight to a wedge and
that took a whole lot of sharpening a whole lot of whittling to get to come
down like that so that's all I'm doing for today thats dark is waning I still
got to get eggs and I got to figure out how to get in there man we've had so
much stinking rain that it just mud everywhere I got to figure out a way to
get in my hand house not getting all muddy so I can cuss too cold to wash my
feet off outside anyway I guess it won't hurt to leave them there overnight all
right I'm going to load my stove up go inside and tomorrow get back to work on
this and final comment well it's getting better I'm gonna have to get my angle
grinder out and really get hit them pits I thought I could do it with that but I
wore the head out but I did get a i did get this shaped up nice so
already did i go to walmart and it's pouring rain out
hey brain
measurable miserable miserable couple of weeks and got a whole nother week of
rain man I can't even walk in my yard and I got to wear my waterproof work
boots just to go check on the chickens it's a ankle deep I hate him I hate cold
and hate rain I want sunny days every single day that's what I want Hey
alrighty let me uh think i'm gonna get my angle grinder out and go to rubbing
on this some see if i can't party it up well i'm just not going to be able to
get all the pits out of it might grind too much metal away but i think i'm
gonna paint it black
what still hot I really really like the shape of that
that cannot real nice the whole lot of rhyming and sanity but looking good what
I'm going to do now is go ahead and put some epoxy on this smear it around in
here and put the handle on put my wedge on and let it dry really good good and
hard I'm making this with the intent that somebody could actually use this so
I'm putting it together where if you know somebody swings it and uses it the
bus cinder blocks or zombie skulls that it will work and when this dries want to
get this together and it dries I'm going to come back on the sand this down
really nice and put that finish on it and then we'll go in house and I'll
paracord that end and paracord us a nice handle here I think I'm going to go
ahead and put this finish on the handle and under here so when I para cord wrap
it will be dark underneath it you won't be able to see what would anyway let me
let me get the mixing up this epoxy all right well that's all I can do for now
when he when it dries off smooth that out make it flush it's coming along nice
I like it
well three coats I got one coat of poly on this a very very late stayin put some
poly down here i'm going to put three coats on and when i get to third codon
i'm gonna let it drive 24 hours I've got a little bit of sanding work to do up
here but this still hasn't cured hard so I'm not going to bother that yet getting
their effect tomorrow I should be at the point where in the afternoon i'll be
putting my handle wraps on here I like it let's turn not real nice there's a
lot of time at a whole lot of grinding in jay's you can sure go through some
cutting discs it took a whole lot of shape and get that thing to come down to
a point it was this was as wide as
don't fall as this came to a chisel point this away
you see how thick it is a whole lot of granite okay i can actually three or
four hours i can put a consent it with some 220 and put a second coat of poly
on it i'm going to go three I got a heater aimed at it is because so it's
rainy intended here and it says three or four hours between coats but they don't
know this is Louisiana but we have to run by whole different set up set of
rules here with a humidity always been always being so high just a little
update I'm going to paint the Hammerhead hammered brown and I just ordered some
acid brown paracord for here and here and I'm going to do a Solomon not here
and I don't know what I'm going to do here I don't know if I'm just going to
wrap it or do some kind of knock but I'm definitely going to do the Solomon not
because sure like the way it looks I'm still on the first coat a friend of mine
has some things on ebay that she's selling for me and I just had some money
appeared on paypal and I got notified like 10 minutes after I ordered my
paracord so I wish I'd waited 10 bids but anyway I'll have have some paracord
for the next time I
one of these and I think it's going to probably be this one and i think i'm
going to use a metal handle want to cut this off and i'm going to be the same
thing with this cut it down to a nice point but that's got some real heavy
pitting got like a whole lot of sand in the Gita mouth oh uh let me show you I
got all my boxes up now need more stuff yeah I found I found room for all that I
threw him either well you can't say but all junk junk junk junk them yellow pins
what a waste yeah I'm liking this it is nice when you have a project just to
reach into one of these bins and not have to stop and go to a hardware store
that's one of the things that has just drove me nuts over the years and it's
you know it's 30 mile although we do have ace hardware in town now I try not
to give them a whole lot business because they're anti-gun they can they
give they donate to anti-gun like handgun incorporated hint is at hand
gonna control incorporated they donate to them and other anti-second amendment
entities so I give them as little of my business as possible anyway back to the
Warhammer I'm really liking this this can't stop looking at it it's going out
nice okay about two more hours I should be
able to put my second coat on and then three or four days I'll get that acid
brown paracord in the mail and I'll bring this inside and wrap it up
