DIY...Tools

I thought I would share some of the tools I make for body work/ Metalshaping. I have alot so I'll update over time. Hope you like them, I sure do!

A chopped up tack hammer With a 4140 steel "slapping" face.



Another slapping face hammer Made from a ball pein; bar stock and 4140



Hand forged Slender bar stock slap with rubber handle (Inspired by "carbuilder")



Dolly spoon made from a thick wrench

 

I can't see them?

 

A body pick made from a hook, the point off a garden tool on an old file handle



Another bar stock slapper with different bends, slightly shorter, bit wider

 

? Is that the case with anyone else? Maby i'm doing this wrong.

 

X2 for me too..

 

X3 no pics...

 

Fixing as we speak...how bout now?

 

Gooder.

 

Some other styles



D.I.Y. Dollies...5 of them are post dollies and mount inside that tooling holder. I'll get better pics. They are made from garden picks and 4140 stock. Sorry for the quality

 

They're beautiful! I wish I knew how to use tools like that. I've got a fair selection that I have bought at garage sales but am next to clueless as to how to use them...

 

Only one way to learn. I get better/learn more all the time, for me it was good to start out with little thought. IE- hammer until smooth - shrink until no longer high. As you progress you'll learn how to manipulate the metal through off dolly techniques and bring up damage pretty fast

 

Cool !

 

thats better

 

very nice craftsmanship

 

Great looking tools, gives me some ideas, thanks for sharing.

 

Nice tools, are you using any kind of treatment for preventing rust?
