Soft Faced Hammer

[Nicholas FarrParticipant @nicholasfarr14254]

Hi Richard, I don't think you will find the recess threaded, below is a photo of my No. 2 one, this is the hide end and I've only just bought a new hide insert for it. The recess itself is tapered outwards and the idea is that once the new insert is fitted and you start using it, the copper swells into the taper. All the new copper inserts I've seen have a turned down plain end.

Regards Nick.

P.S. I've just looked on the Thor website http://www.thorhammer.com/Hammers/Rawhide/ and found a guide for replacing the soft faces. It's a download PDF at the bottom of the page. The copper end have grooves formed in them for the copper to swell into. There is also a drawing for making a combination tool for fitting the hide inserts.

With a rubber hammer face that is screwed in place, the threaded bit is moulded in place when the head is made.

Gentlemen

Many thanks to all who have replied,

Plan B, Put it back in the cupboard and worry about it when I have to, I have more important things to do.

Regards
