I finished my hammer…I reshaped a cross-pein hammer to have a fatter pein for making leaves and other such thick-to-thin items. The bad weather made it a nice day to spend in the smithy. Good old TruValue hardware stocks hammer handles, so $6.49 buys a nice hickory handle.
It works great. Only a blacksmith gets excited about a new hammer. 800 grams of looooove….
All I can think of is Apu saying, “Hey ev’ry bod-y, let’s get hammered!”
