Thread: thought i would make some tools

so , ..I like to make stuff , and im very average in my tool making , I have a myford lathe , and a mill , tig etc etc ...
yesterday at the range , one of the guys had a squib load , ( didn't get out the barrel ) , and needed a drift and hammer , no one had one , ... I needed to adjust my rear sights across ... no drift ot hammer , ... so I made these this morning out of brass , and stainless , and some acrylic ... this is my first attempt , ...my diamond knurling tool wont fit in my new quick mount tool post so used another marking tool to give grip on the hammer , now I need to make a tool roll to keep em in ...

That's classy looking gear there @stumpy! Well done!!!! Too many folks underestimate the value of a small hammer.
