Not sure about the hammer shaft, but you're right - there's a video around with him making and using it.

the F8 revolver to final ropewrench design is the most innovative thinking we've seen in treework, anyone who'd looked into SRT for work positioning and given up on the idea will understand what Kevin did was find a solution to the very frustrating all or nothing characteristics of a hitch on a single line. The switch from the F8 revolver to the wooden wrench was a big leap forward.

The boxwood one is great but doesnt take a stiff tether well and i drilled it for 13mm rope.. should make another for 11mm Kevin changed my climbing in one video with that original wooden wrench:thumbup:
