Plane Hammer

Since it’s been below freezing for the last week or so, I haven’t gotten any shop time.  Thus, in order to get my woodworking & creative fix, I’ve been doing a lot of design work.  I plan on eventually making some wooden planes, and thus I will need an adjustment hammer. Below are some shots of what I came up with. The head and shaft will most likely be made from steel. The tips will be thread brass and wood, so they can replaced easily. I’m not sure what would I’ll ultimately end up using, but right now I’m leaning towards black walnut because it’s a fairly soft hardwood.
