LDW Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Bryce is here from Canada and will be staying with Brian and Karen for a while. He seems to be a level headed gentleman, and has learned a lot in his travels. He got his chance to make a hammer yesterday and did a good job striking. Again, I was working on the coal trailer, but stopped to take pictures often. See if you can tell the advantage of Brians newest set of hammer tongs in a couple of these pics. https://picasaweb.google.com/LDWynn/BryceSHammer# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clinton Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I see that the tongs have a much longer reach, the jaws are longer, so you can grab any part of the hammer from one side. I just made a set of hammer tongs last weekend more like the old design, they seem to work well I will be making more when I find time. my tongs Fe-wood's tongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec.S Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 That is one sweet looking hammer! How much does that one weigh? I saw no difference with those tongs... Even my tongs have that reach... so maybe it was new before me? Any way... it looks like you all have had a great time so far! Bryce looks like he is having a smashing time. That is one heck of a big trailer... how many tons are you planning to load that with? alec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Masuk Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 My striking could have been better but I had fun and the hammer turned out nice. everything has been great down here and I have learned quite a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
