New to IFI but have been reading for a long time. A world of knowledge available to the novice. A few of the posters/contributors have influenced my trials, helped me understand my mistakes and recognize my successes.
I've just about got the claw hammer complete - ton of fun making with my trusty striker Bob S. I've got to cut the groves in the head and finish the orange Osage handle.
Bob and I have made a few other tools changing off striking and directing. The forging hammers weigh 1 3/4LB, 2 3/4lb and 3 3/4lb with the handles.
How do they look? The good, bad and any good helping hints are welcomed.
