DIY Hammer Handles Fit Farrier Well: South Carolina farrier Steve Prescott makes hammer handles from sections of hardware store oak trim

摘要

Years ago, Hardeeville, S.C., farrier Steve Prescott didn'tset out to craft his own wood tool handles — it just happened out of necessity. Newly relocated to the Palmetto State, he moved away from his local supply shop. This forced him to be creative with the tools he uses.While at Home Depot looking for hammer handles, he happened to go down the trim aisle and came across l-by-2-inch pieces of oak, which sell for less than a dollar per linear foot. He bypassed the hand-tool aisle and instead bought a section of the oak trim.
