I made one in high school, about 1965. My sisters and daughters have used it and would like one for Christmas. So, as a first project, I plan to make ten of them. I have a 7X14 lathe which should manage the handle, though the taper may be tedious to make. I have a verticle mill that can easily handle the shape, and drilling and tapping for the handle. But I don't recall, now, how I made the strike pattern for the ends of the hammer. Is there a "V" milling bit?
Recapturing high school machining skills is fun, at least I think it will be.
All guidance will be greatly appreciated.
