War Hammer Refurbished
Finished refurbishing the war hammer. I used some metal epoxy to secure
the head and butt cap onto the handle. Since it was a snug fit, and it's
mainly a display piece, this should be no problem.
I nailed brass tacks
into the epoxy to cover the holes and make it look like they're fancy
topped rivets.
After removing the original finish with Citristrip, I
rubbed down the handle with Old English furniture oil. Don't know why
they painted the handle, as the grains are pretty nice.
A timeless piece. Cheers from the Frugal Armoury!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Fran! And I now have a few more items for future projects - hmm, what can I strip paint off of next? :) Warm regards, Dean

ReplyDeleteCheers,

Appreciate the compliments, Aaron. The individual parts were so nice, I just couldn't let them be slapped together as they were initially. It is one of those mass-produced in India things. Quite a bargain, but hit or miss with craftsmanship - a nice project though. Regards, Dean

DeleteFine looking War Hammer Dean, you must have quite a collection now!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Mike. Yes, it's grown quite nicely, and I think I could still make room for a crossbow :) Warm regards Dean
DeleteI love your 1 to 1 scale projects. All the force of a blow and leverage concentrated into the hammer head, it could be quite deadly!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Monty - check out the next post :)
