Watch a triad of hammers get cleaned up, shaped up and, finally, polished up. A small, a medium and a large hammer get simultaneously restored. The small ball peen needs a new handle as does the large Ridgid 3 pound mallet. The Plumb carpenter's (or claw) hammer has a handle that could be restored although it is now about one inch shorter.

Total time invested in these restorations was about 16 hours. It can be done a bit quicker if not for making a YouTube video.

All video was captured and edited using an iPhone 8 Plus, an iMac with iMovie and Photoshop.
