Antique Danco #4 metal hammer restoration. Wanted to share this hammer restoration with a new ash hand turned replica handle. This video shows a couple of good techniques including how to blacken steel with linseed oil. Thanks for watching my diy tool restoration and please subscribe.
If you have any questions about the process, machines i'm using or other stuff, just ask me in the comments. I read them all and i try to reply as soon as possible.
I spent around $25
linseed oil -had it on hand
Ash handle for a wheelbarrow - lots leftover $15
hammertone paint $10
The finish on the wood handle is a BLO finish with paste wax. This is a common finish for any wood handled tool. It keeps the feeling of the wood without the glossy finish of a urethane. I wish they finished all wood handle tools this way even from the factory.

If you used this tool professionally let me know I'd love to hear your story!
