Lead Hammer

[papermaker]

Dumb question I should ask but how did you hold the two half's of the mold together for the pour and did you cast the handle into the hammer? I picked up a beat up hammer at a flea market and planned to recast it so this thread is timely.

I milled a recess in the top like I did for the bottom except there is a hole in the center of the top to pour lead in.I bored the hole in the head for the handle . Basicly its two passes with a 5/8" bit with the head clamped im the milling vise.
