Old hammer, new handle.

Looks like you put some effort into the metal too - looks freshly scrubbed and oiled ✨ matches that new handle beautifully - great work!!
thanks! Wire wheeled all the rust and concrete, filed off various burrs, dents, etc, and even chased the milling on the face.
looks pretty
So it's gonna be a display piece? Nice little piece of family history there. Might even look good on the wall.
Not a display piece, it’s going to live underneath my bench with the rest of the hammers and occasionally be used, when I have occasion to sink some 16d in one hit like Larry Haun
Looks great. It's always nice to see something old find a new life.
Finally, a comm for that one user who hand-makes longbows. This ones for you, comrade.
