Best Answer
You are trying to use a pattern to make the tools. What you need to make is a Smeltery, and then melt down aluminium and copper together to make aluminium brass. Make a normal wooden/stone hammer head and place it on a casting table. Pour out the molten aluminium brass onto the hammer head to create a hammer head cast. You can then pour molten metal (iron, cobalt etc) into the head cast which will make you a metal hammer head. Find out more here
