How about a bit of old copper pipe sealed at one end and fill it with lead then cut back the copper a bit? That way less mushrooming as lead is supported? Going to try it out and will let you know. Just need to make sure SWMBO is "out" for the afternoon. |

Don't know if this would be of interest, but if you hold a bolt's threads above a candle flame and get it covered in black soot, you can cast it into the front face of the hammer, and when it cools, it should unscrew. Then you could use a flathead bolt of the same dia, and pitch to fasten on a disk with a countersunk hole of any material you want for a hammer face. For a soft face, maybe brass, or steel if harder is needed. It would be replaceable, too. |
