Manually Machined Hammer

Personal Project

Jun. 2022

In order to demonstrate to machine shop professionals my ability with the machines, I built a hammer from carbon steel cylindrical and rectangular stock. I turned the handle on a manual lathe and machined the head on a manual mill. The two parts were assembled with a pin.

Skills:

  • Manual Milling

    • End Milling

    • Face Milling

    • Internal Threading

  • Manual Turning

    • Facing

    • External Threading

    • Polishing

  • Machining within a Specified Tolerance

On the head, I machined triangular chamfers, a rounded end, and my initials on one side. For the handle, I filleted the middle section, and I added a semi-spherical feature on the bottom. I then polished for a smoother feel.
