Re: My latest project(s) body hammer restoration
This is another hammer head I found just laying around. I don’t know much about the brand, ABC, I do have a few ABC branded hammers. They are what I will say a lower quality or tier but still good usable forged steel hammers. Am not one for modifying hammers but for this one I decided to make a clone of a discontinued Snap-on hammer a double reverse curve part number BF615.
To start went the bench vise clamped one end in and took my 4.5 angle grinder with a 36 grit flap disc. Once roughed out took it to my belt sander and smoothed out the heads up to 400 grit.
Cleaned up, rust and paint free. I masked the faces off but let a little exposed that way when it is painted I can come back with my 3 inch polisher and some 800 grit sand off the excess paint and have no tape lines.
Primed with Upol spray can acid etch#8. If you look at the upper right corner I have my heat gun keeping the hammer nice and warm.
