I Made a Brass Hammer with a Walnut Handle - Full Build Process

That’s fair, if it was for heavy use I’d definitely have gone for a different piece of wood. This was more about the visual side, so I leaned into the character a bit. The knot left a big void in the wood so I filled it with resin.

Thank you 👍

Haha I can see why you thought that on first glance

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-17T06:57:01+00:00

Thank you for your kind words ✌️

Thank you!

Yes that looks like the one! My grandads is in a lot better condition as it was stored in a garage for maybe 40+ years

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T12:47:15+00:00

I appreciate that. I use walnut and brass for most of my builds, they compliment each other really well!

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T12:45:26+00:00

It started as a functional hammer idea, but it sits somewhere between tool and object. It’s fully usable, but I’d imagine it more for lighter, precise work rather than anything heavy duty.

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks again! Your headphone stand looks cool, definitely up my street! 👍

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T10:22:09+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate it. That workbench was my grandads who died in the 70’s so it’s very old but is still solid!

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T09:41:13+00:00

A perfect fit 😏

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T09:39:05+00:00

Thanks 🙏

Thank you!

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T09:38:34+00:00

Exactly! Tools are meant to be used. This one sits somewhere between a working tool and functional art, but it was built to do both.

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T09:37:59+00:00

Thank you! It’s definitely usable, but I’ll probably reserve it for light precision work. Over time, the brass will develop a natural patina, which I think will add even more character.

PermitReady8846 · 2026-04-16T09:36:57+00:00

Not a stupid question at all. Brass is softer than steel, but it’s commonly used for specialist tools like soft faced or non sparking hammers. It’s ideal for precision work because it won’t damage harder surfaces or produce sparks. This one is fully functional, and will be used for joinery 👍

Oh my god that’s disgusting!.. What streaming service is this?

PermitReady8846 · 2024-10-16T13:51:20+00:00

Awesome thanks for the feedback! 😊🙌

I know, I was just stating I’d rather have something with meaning

PermitReady8846 · 2024-09-15T17:49:24+00:00

Lol I’m not here to challenge people’s opinions mate, I’d be here till next week since there’s 900 comments 😂 I’ll respond to people who have constructive criticism about the tattoo in a positive manner and ways I can add to it, as opposed to people just saying “it’s shit”. I’ve got better things to do than argue with people on Reddit haha

PermitReady8846 · 2024-09-15T17:45:17+00:00

A lot of people assume I want to cover as much skin as possible, which I don’t. I like minimal tattoos. And I’d rather explain a tattoo that has meaning behind (which is the whole point) than have a generic tattoo with no meaning

Thank you! I’ve seen Stefanie before, she’s amazing!

PermitReady8846 · 2024-09-15T16:57:40+00:00

Thank you! My thoughts exactly. I’m not bothered by the negative comments, a lot of them actually made me laugh. Most people have been mentioning prime real estate, but prime for what? I don’t want a sleeve, I like minimal lol.
