Addiction? My friends know I'm just a social smith occasionally forging at big events... what they don't know is that I hide away and forge alone as often as I can... I do my best work under the influence of the smell of burning coal...

The bass fell and broke the lads leg, put him in a CAST and the doctors SENT him to bed rest.

The lad who lent the gear could not hardly believe the MASS of the bass, so he SENT it for mounting.

An ode to IFI For granted I have taken you To chat I have enjoyed And posting in the forum too But without you left me sad and void James

The scurvy lads then chased a defenseless LASS after spying her through the LENS of their scope.

I agree with your observations, I took my 2.75F Hofi to a local hammer in and a few of the guys wanted to see it... they all said it couldn't weigh any more than 1.75 pounds at the most. I have since weighed it and it comes in at 2.81 pounds. The head shape is taking me some getting used to due to the difference in shape compared to mine... but I simply have come to enjoy this hammer. Moves metal with less effort than other hammers I have that weigh more. I just am looking forward to using it a lot more once this weather breaks... James
