The mini jeweler's hammer and the little crosspeen are made from old, used up, cold chisels that I annealed and then rehardened. The handles are made from the smallest machinest's hammer handles I could find. I made these back in the '70's. The jeweler's hammer isn't used much but the crosspeen has a lot of use on it.

The non marring one is made from a 1" piece of left over delrin, a broken 3/8" electricians drill bit, and a piece of oak dowel. The drill rod is epoxied into the delrin head for a solid fit and pinned to reinforce it. I made this early this year and now it is my go-to non marring hammer. It has a quite a bit of use and is standing up to it.
