Then I stick it in a milling vise, dial in the hammer head, and mill one side and add the chamfer.
To mill the flats, I wait until the hammer is finished and assembled. I always found it annoying that with a fully round handle, you couldn’t keep the hammer straight by feel – you had to look at it. For example, this one has flats on the handle. I modified the design of the one I made over a decade ago based on things I wasn’t crazy about. The actual design varies by school, but they all look essentially the same. I don’t know a single machinist that hasn’t made one of these. PULL HAMMER PROJECT Download Machinist’s Hammer
1/2-13 x 1″ long socket head set screw (1 pc). If the budget is tight or selection is limited, though, you can just as easily use steel or aluminum. Personally, I like making tools out of stainless where possible, since they’ll last longer than I will. Mine’s in perfect shape still, aside from a few scuffs and dings, and I use it daily. To make it last longer, there’s a replaceable 1/4-20 set screw that’s used to hold on to the dowel. This tool is exactly what you’ll need to pull 1/2 dowels from tight holes. It doesn’t take too long to do, but it will give an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of turning. This is a nice and simple project that is great for absolute beginners. If you’re working with pull dowels, which are a common fixturing element in many shops, then you’ll need one of these in your toolbox.
