A new life for an sledge

Discovered a 12lb rusted and broken sledge hammer head at a car boot sale. With a bit of work and elbow grease this has now been restored and given a whole new life.

Step 1: The dead sledge

The sledge was completely rusted and the handle was broken and rotted. And so it began.....

Step 2: Elbow grease

A lot of sandpaper and elbow grease was used to remove years of rust.

Step 3: A new life for Percy the Sledge

I made a handle from an old piece of timber I had lying around. Percy was finished with a spray of wd40 to bring out a lovely patina.
