Mjolnir. No not that one, the other one.

I decided to make Thor's Hammer and see how well I could make it without wasting too much money. Using spare plywood and 3/4" black pipe, fittings and flange(to mount on the inside), I got started. I know it doesn't match the movies but it's still pretty nice.

Below is what it looks like in raw form.


Painted it silver.

Sprayed the handle with contact cement, wrapped twine (the type you use to wrap your boxes up for recycling) down and up the handle for that crisscross look, sprayed contact cement again, and wrapped it real tight with faux leather.




Still not happy with the color scheme, I decided to spray the inside of the hammer indents with a flat gray acrylic and it gave it a nice final touch.

The handle is made from strips of faux leather braided together, then 3 of those braids braided together again. The end cap is a brass 3/4" pipe cap that I drilled a hole through just big enough for the braid to get through but not big enough for the steel bar that holding the braid knot inside the hammer to get through.


Overall one of my favorite pieces.

If anyone has questions, want some additional pics, or further explanation, let me know and I will do my best to answer. Enjoy.

Very nice! I like how you did the handle.

That's amazing!

This looks great! I love how the handle came out.

Watch out, Thor might mistake that for his and I hope you lift bro, else it will be a short fight.

Very good work!

The flat makes a big difference. Looks great

You are worthy

Looks great. It is close enough. Can't wait to see the engraved weave on the hammer, if that does happen.
