For delicate work, I made this one with interchangeable heads made from a variety of materials - steel, brass and aluminum - and with various head shapes.

Making your own hammers can be fun. For delicate work, I made this one with interchangeable heads made from a variety of materials - steel, brass and aluminum - and with various head shapes.
However, my favorite style is the dead-blow. These three are made from sections of pipe. A threaded 3/8" rod passes through a clearance hole and threads into the opposite side of the pipe. Brass and steel heads are pressed into the ends and the pipe is filled about two-thirds with bird shot before the handle is threaded into place.
The small one on top is for light work. The larger one in the middle is my "persuader". The blinged version at the bottom was done for my wife's jewelry work. One end accepts copper pipe terminators so the hammer doesn't leave metal smears on copper jewelry.
