My boss who's retiring was cleaning out his toolbox and found a couple hammer tips.
Had some free time on our new turning center with live tooling, so whipped this up during breaks and lunch. 303 SS, head is 7/8" diameter, handle is 1" tapering to .700, bored out to .750 ID to drop some weight.

I'd like to say yes, but it's so hit or miss for open time

I'm thinking of doing more handles at some point. If/when I do I'll IM you.

Please let me know when the opportunity arises, and thanks for offering. I will send some coin for time/materials. That hammer has a place in my gunsmithing toolbox. 44.

No shit.  If I got a fucking rolling pin as a token of appreciation for years of work... I think I'd hit someone with it.

Thanks for all the kind words.  
I work at a place that make huge industrial size bakery equipment. So that's where the rolling pin thing comes from I guess. Just the pilot light bar for a gas fryer is 100000 BTU from what I hear. Donut depositors that drop hundreds per minute. Some pretty impressive stuff.

After the new year I might get around to staying late and trying to get a couple more cranked out. Need to start rounding up some drops and ends so I have something to work with.

I would have dug out my knurling tool.

Looks well done though.
