Before I stripped the hammer handle down to the steel - I whittled down the burnt area. It was useful at that point and it didn't feel bad holding it. But... my curiosity wanted to see how it was built. I also wanted to show you all what it looks like in this thread. I already knew the steel was warped. I haven't always been disabled, and I was strong enough to damage it back then - probably still now.

I grew up knowing that time is money. It meant that you used a tool to it's fullest extent and sometimes, push it. I did. Seeing the steal twisted on the end was a surprise - although I did use that hammer a lot with my thumb, pointer finger, and middle finger. I'm thinking that is what caused the twisted steel at the end.

I used the new hammer that way today.
