 What the heck is a great hammer for woodworking? Hola woodworkers, Paul Carlson here, a small workshop guy. I've collected three or four different hammers that could be used for woodworking. They're all kind of designed to be soft and be wood-on-wood or rubber or plastic. But anyway, they're intended that you can use them and hit your workpiece or assemble something, just coach that dry assembly along a little bit if your mortise and tenons aren't perfect and not mar anything up. If you have several, what will happen is over time you'll find yourself grabbing one most of the time. So that would become your favorite hammer. Well, which one of these is my favorite hammer? They're all certainly effective, they all certainly work well, but this is the one that I like because it's kind of one hammer dual function. It has a hard plastic side that you could use for driving certain things, but then it's got the softer cushiony forgiving side for doing those assemblies and you can get them a different weight. So depending on what size, what weight of hammer you like, I think this one is 17, 17 ounces. Now what I do with my, this is from Est Wing made in the USA, what I do is I kind of sand it and put some Odie's butter on it just so that it really feels good every time I grab it. I can feel that nice buttery feeling. So Odie's oil, if you're not familiar with that, and that's a great finishing for a fine piece of furniture where you really want to have a nice finish without getting all messy, takes a little elbow grease. So this oil takes some grease, some elbow grease. Well, that's my favorite hammer. I'll put a link down below to that and to this one. This is from Wood is Good Company and then this is from Est Wing.
