John N Hammer

I recently posted these pics on another forum, but they are quite relavent to this thread so Ill put them here aswell.... Ive found a couple of manky old hammers, so re-squished them into blacksmiths hammers, - The little ballpein (2 lbs) is now a diagonal pein, the 7 lb sledge is now a straight pein drawing hammer (though it will only be used for the odd few mins, it would disable me otherwise!) The sledge took about 10 mins to get warm in my little 1 burner venturi home made gasser! No tongs big enough so welded them to bits of bar! , I was just playing really as a distraction from proper work. They need H.T yet, but today I was in the local engineering supply place, and they gave me 2 suitable hickory handles free ) (though the cost of the stuff I bought for work was eyewatering!)
