I needed a body hammer so made several. The large one was made as a weldment. The bottom part of it was some hard truck axle material and
the skinny bent part was made from the body of an old broken reamer. The smaller hammers were made from 1018 steel rod. The handles for the
smaller hammers were fashioned from some junk laying around the shop and the handle for the bigger I think may have been a chair leg in it's
previous life. The hammer handle holes were made by drilling and milling with the far end gaped a little to make sure the handle would stay well
affixed.
These will be handy for body straightening or metal forming work in soft aluminum.
