Yes I've made a number of the smaller hammers using 3/8 iron pipe nipples and end caps for handles. The handle for the 4 pounder came as part of a 'kit' that also included a 5 lb. bar of lead. Not that I needed the lead. I saved several hundred pounds of the old style wheel weights for years to build up a lifetime supply for bullet casting. Got another couple hundred pounds of Linotype too, but that's too hard for making lead hammers.
I'm done with buying hammer molds now though. Scouts honor!
