I really like the shape and weight of the mold. I suspect they won't last long, but, oh well, that the designed purpose.

Memory monument, remembering when in the aerospace machine shop we would have 2 lbs plus lead hammers on steel handles they are on an exchange program once beat to a or flew off the handle the lead hammer guy would come weight and exchange the old ones for new ones.
That handle you are sharing that you made a pattern for made of aluminum looks to have wood grain to it, not being there would be funny to paint one handle to look like like rustic wood while still having one of your nicely forged lead heads on there. Nice poor.
Thank you for the share.

Nice hammer. I appreciate you using your time to make these videos. I always learn something from you. Thanks,

A useful tool that you can always renew, can potentially last forever

Another very good video! I know you don't likely want too but you could sell those aluminum molds. I already have a similar one or I would be after you to get one like that. The one I have isn't so nice but it works. That hammer looked really neat before you cut the sprue off of it, a long reach hammer. :-) Sounded like you are getting come rain. We are getting quite a bit too. Have a really good weekend. You keep us inspired.

Very nice. My old shop teacher told me to soot up the mold with acetylene to get a better pour on the lead. Having a mold is handy because, after awhile, the hammers look like perverted lollipops. LOL.
