    Hammer With Replaceable Faces

    I just had to make one of these. Steel, Aluminum, Brass, and plastic.
    The plastic is polycarbonate and will be replaced with UHMW when my stock arrives.
    The handle has an internal cavity for storing a punch. It is made of 304 stainless.
    The handle is fluted not knurled like most. The end cap is brass and I think I used
    5/16-18 thread for it. The head weighs 10 ounces with the brass faces.

    The head is turned form 1" steel and the handle is made from 5/8" 304 stainless.
    The head is 2" long and the faces are 3/4" long.
    The handle is 9.750 long including the end cap.

    I used 3/8-16 all thread for the threaded studs that retain the faces.
    The head is threaded onto the handle and can also be replaced if needed and
    is threaded 3/8-16 also. Still need to polish out the flutes.

    Cheers, JR
