AS far as home workshops go and because I live some distance away from commercial engineering shops I have a Logan 200 Lathe as well as SOUTH BEND 13 inch as well as as a Elliot 14 inch shaper and a medium size milling machine besides the normal welders and drill pres. I also enjoy making my own spares for tractors or repairing the old part.Any tools that are useful for repairing and restoring old machinery or sharpening tool bits for my machines. Want to make myself a brass hammer like the one posted made my self a copper drive
punch but sleeved it in a piece steel piping to stop the copper spreading too much when using it

Ah, rossbotics's brass hammer, glad to know it's being built by people. For sharpening tools, you might like this link: Homemade Tools: sharpening - HomemadeTools.net

Hi Jon Thanks for the link I will go through it when I have some time I have also just managed to get a old Sharp and Brown tool and cutter grinder that has been badly treated but at least I have a base to start working from to build a reasonable machine Regards
