Great demo!
This was a great day and my 3 newcomers are already making plans to come to the hammer in.
Thanks again for hosting this.

During the demo I asked Doug if he had tried an Appalachian style power hammer which got some laughs.

I understand the humor but it's a DIY helve style power hammer design

It was a really great time for everyone I think. Almost 50 people, a great demo, great food, and perfect weather. It all came together...thanks for the support!

It will be great to see you at the Hammer In.
