Default Re: Hammer freehand job

The first thing I engraved when I got my airgraver was a carpenter's claw hammer. I have since ground off all the original scratches, and engraved one side. I found it almost too hard, but I heated it with a torch and found that it was a little softer after-all except for the tip of the claw, which I would guess was tempered to prevent breakage of the most delicate part of the hammer. I might have to take some pics and post it.
This hammer looks much nicer than anything I did to mine. Thanks for posting :smile[2]:
