Are yours hardened?

Are yours hardened?

Don’t know, need to check

Are yours hardened?

They appear to be. If I find the rest, you can have them if you want. No idea when I’ll get a chance to go through all the boxes of junk thoroughly

 

[Mr J Morton]

Although the hoarder in me is screaming take them, I don't think they would be the best thing in mine. The pins are hardened and the hammers are mild steel. The hammers holes have rounded out bigger, but the pins are in good shape. If both are hardened next time they will both need replacing.

Thanks for the very generous offer though!

If both are hardened next time they will both need replacing.

If the flails had larger holes than the pin diameter, maybe a sacrificial bush could be an acceptable solution.

 

[Mr J Morton]

Just to update, here are the now straight hammers just before refit, you can see the extent they ware. Lucky Two sided so I've got bit of meat left on one side of all of them.

I could make bushes, but to be fair these have lasted years as it only gets a few hours use a year and I may just buy the £50 ones and put them on the shelf for later. £100 was too much, but £50 is fair.

Also making bushes is a project which should only take an afternoon, but knowing me it will be a week.
