In this video I make a Machinist's Hammer from Hemingway kits. The hammer is turned from mild steel, phosphor bronze and aluminium on the lathe. It's beautifully balanced and is very useful for tapping stock down in the vice and for accurately setting work in the lathe, drill press or milling machine.
I use my set over centre taper turning attachment that I made in a previous video, find that here;
