This is dumb and I'll update with pictures in a bit but I have completed a hammer handle for a hammer that's roughly 100 years old. Decided since it was such a unique piece it deserved a unique handle. I feel really great about the level of craftsmanship I brought to bare on this simple utilitarian object. It's given me the confidence to make a new handle for one of my high carbon kitchen knives that has always been awesome EXCEPT for the lovely handle. Already have it halfway done. Feeling loving good, goons.

sigher posted:Hell yeah, look at this loving thing. It's pretty simple actually. I chose a nice piece of wood, in this case some holly I lumbered at the beginning of the year. I cut out the general shape of the handle on the bandsaw. After that files of various shapes and sizes are used to get it into the exact shape. From there I used a little metal wedge to connect the head to the handle and spent a few days sanding, buffing, finishing and repeating until it was polished.
