Frosty Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 A sheet metal hammer, I have several though not just like it. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 That's a nice one. I have a small version of that and like the others have said they are mostly or were used for auto body work. Now all the bodymen do is replace the sheet metal parts. Not much use to a bodyman these days unless he dose restoration on the old cars.:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bentiron1946 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 You know that one shown with the big head would be a nice addition to a cauldron or still maker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Thompson Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 That explains it! I absolutely hate sheet metal work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arftist Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I always thought those type of hammers were actualy called armorer's hammers, but aparentlu no one else uses that term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'd be surprised if they weren't known as armorers hammers back in the day. There's really no difference between hammering out armor or body parts. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They come in handy sometimes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
