    Im a huge fan of Brians but I am not totally mesmerized by the advantages of the rounding hammer other than the realitive ease it lends itself to making. I have several of Brians hammers up to and including a 5 pound rounding hammer and a 5 pound crosspien. My favorite hammer and my ( GO TO ) hammer for most all of my work with a hand hammer is a 2 1/2 pound crosspein that me and Brian forged when he was here. Heres a photo of it. -.

    First You need to make sure the T- Shirt is 100 % cotton. My first attempt was with a T-Shirt that must have had some polyester in it ( didn't allow the flux to absorb into the cloth fully ) First you flux the inside ( and dampen the cloth with flux also. Should probally wear gloves but I didnt Then you heat the vessel until the Tin starts to melt and spread it around with the cloth ( its almost like washing the pan with the Tin :)

    Dillon I have a leaf that i think is bigger and more finished than that one. You made it and I purchased it in the auction at the Memphis conference. For the life of me I can't remember what I paid though. All really cool stuff but as has been mentioned , depends on the where and what type of customers

    Yes the candle cups were made from 1 " tubing with .065 wall thickness. They were done with the G2 Guillotine . I left the candle cups un- flared as I was going more for a simplistic motif

    Fe-Wood Actually the handles on both have been fullered. The fullering adds strength as well as looks and makes the handle more comfortable to hold.
