This was my first posting here and I have to say I am amazed to have 10 replies in one day. To answer some of your questions:
- Jeremy K - I have been working with metal (sculpture, railings, jewelry, furniture, etc...) for around 15 years, on and off. I have had trouble keeping a shop and working as a stone mason as well, while renting.
- Jamesrjohnson - I will check that hammer out.
- I want the hammer mainly for working heavier pieces. I should probably get a planishing hammer as well for the sheet work. I want to be able to do long draw work in heavier stock for furniture and sculpture mainly, as well as forge pattern welded steel easier for use in my projects.
