Making a Soft Hammer | Metal Cast

Soft hammers are super useful in the machine shop. I use an old one I got at the flea market all the time! So in this video I make myself a new one with cast aluminum and a two part petrobond sand mold. Pattern designed in Fusion360 and cut on the Mekanika EVO-S .
The CNC machine works great for making patterns, I'll be using it more for sure, just need to get my hands on a couple more endmills and collets! Thanks Mekanika for providing the EVO-S check it out here:

Perfect casting result this time, no imperfections at all. You're getting very good at this. But the mold was top notch to say the least, brilliant idea also how you made the hole. It's all about having a good plan to succeed.

Have a great holiday!

I'm always fascinated just watching you do your work. What I love is that you just let the process speak for itself. Sure, you sometimes say things for maybe safety reasons, sponsors, inspirations, or equipments but other than that, you just let the process do its thing. No music or anything to distract us. Plus, the enhanced playback speed actually adds more to the enjoyment. I love it!! Very well done!!

Your idea of making the eye of the hammer was brilliant and perfectly executed!

I've seen you do this several times over the years and you're just getting better and better. That's a lovely piece!

good job!!!
next video idea: instet of using a normal hammer to press the orange casting sand, cast a hammer for this type of use.
