Antique Danco #4 metal hammer restoration. Wanted to share this hammer restoration with a new ash hand turned replica handle. This video shows a couple of good techniques including how to blacken steel with linseed oil. Thanks for watching my diy tool restoration and please subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwxASvh6k_3r8xmO_fWK8Fw If you have any questions about the process, machines i'm using or other stuff, just ask me in the comments. I read them all and i try to reply as soon as possible. I spent around $25 linseed oil -had it on hand Ash handle for a wheelbarrow - lots leftover $15 hammertone paint $10 The finish on the wood handle is a BLO finish with paste wax. This is a common finish for any wood handled tool. It keeps the feeling of the wood without the glossy finish of a urethane. I wish they finished all wood handle tools this way even from the factory.
