Stanley Hammers
Some old
Stanley hammers -- I like
the look of old tools, so these old timers are my favorites.
The large plain face nail hammer on the right is a Stanley #91
1/2. The traditional bell shaped nail hammer is marked Stanley,
and I don't know who made the framing hammer. Some of my other
hammers include these two small
hammers, each less than 6 oz. I use the one with the brass
head to tap the irons in wooden planes. Also an Osborne
tack hammer, an old cobbler's
hammer marked Crispin, Yellow Label, Whitcher, Boston, and
a 12 oz French pattern hammer
marked Acier Fondu.Joiner's
mallets -- The beech mallet
on the right is a Marples #7715, and the one on the left was
shop made from desert ironwood. The head
on this mallet is considerably heavier than the beech mallet,
and the hickory hammer handle fits my hands much better. The
two mallets with cast iron heads were
found in an antique store. They are machinists hammers, and typically
have copper and rolled rawhide inserts. I made rolled leather
inserts for one using belt leather. This is my favorite mallet
for driving a tenon into a mortise joint. The other has leather
faced hardwood inserts, easy on a wooden surface, but with less
give than the rolled belt leather.
