I bought a forge from a neighbor about 2 months ago. I joined Balcones Forge a local group of blacksmiths that meet once a month. I have been playing around and have made some BBQ forks, and meat turners, lots of bottle openers, and some chisels used for the bottle openers. My problem is I get pain in my wrist and forearm if I hammer for more than a couple of hours. I am sure it is the way I am hammering so I ordered a hofi style hammer and the video to try and learn better technique. They have not arrived yet but any ideas while I wait?
Thanks
