I watched all the collaborators' videos and thought yours came out best. It was interesting seeing the different approaches though.

Looks badass would love to see what kind of destruction it could cause

I have just come over from the other 4 channels and I must say even though you had your problems in the beginning that war hammer turned out excellent. I don't normally do this on a first time watching a channel but I have broken my own rule and Subscribed 👍

Very Cool! nice planning ahead with the belt sander. good tip for sure. I wonder if you could reinforce the core with some wire of a nail. good work not quitting. cheers

Good idea to do a collaboration. I like it when YouTubers talk and explain the troubles and tips that they have. When's the actual battle you guys are going to have to determine the winner?

[jamesfreeman]

That hand-hammered texture looks gorgeous.

I'm new to your channel because of this collaboration. I'm glad I found it!

[wantafastz]

Well done, looks great and it nice seeing all the failures and learning from each one. Ever thought about pouring faster?

[rockelec]

That turned out great! I can appreciated the multiple attempts...it's my MO
Lol

I think that surface holes on the top part of hammer was due to gases from core. Core was not dry. Investment core could work but mayby IT should be burned like for lost wax. Shorter core could be more break resistant;) anyway your skill of fail absorption is impressive. Very enterteining. laughing few times.

Love the top "the the tater" mixing container

[noviceartisan]

Great work dude! You're getting better each day! :)

[castingtechnology]

Great work, I'm so honored to have been a part of this!

[captainslam]

Hey man, I actually found you from your comments over on Alec Steel's channel. Excited to go for the ride on this channel.

Edit: I really appreciate you including your trial and errors. I'm able to learn along with you!

New sub... from metalscrapper, ingot Joe and thewulf56.

That was an awesome video. Thanks for sharing! I am impressed that you were able to cast such a thick piece of bronze, and make it look so good. I have one question though, at 13:43 minutes into the video, you see that there are sort of, bubbles, or pits on the surface of the front part of the hammer. I get these a lot in my larger castings as well. Do you know what these are? And are these just a result of casting thicker bronzes?

[jamesfranklin]

The fins could’ve been attached the the bucket instead of the frame, or using a perpendicular threaded rod, removable. Why didn’t you just use the un relays on the original wheel, perhaps with thrust bearings as well?

[racheld]

You're core might have been broken a few times, but never your spirit!

[Boostedgsx]

Why don't you have a 3d printer yet to make these parts?

[adamtwelve]

Hammerhead turned out fantastic! I must say however it would look 10 times better without the bracket you made, no offense but I'd either just leave it off or try and make a better looking one because it really ruins the whole aesthetic.
