bobinbama Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Don't know if this should be in tools or not but I'll give it a go here first. Does any one here have a source for the flat sided handles for the Hofi style hammers? I've got two hammer making classes with Brian Brazeal coming up and I would love to find some good handles.

AKFrosty57 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I saw mine from hickory boards, though they're slightly different than the Hoffi pattern they're the same in spirit. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian.pierson Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Bob, I took a class with Brian. He had material for the class to use for handles and he showed us how to shape them. You will learn a lot from him. He is a great teacher and quite willing to show you everything you ask. Enjoy the classes. Brian P.S. Be ready to take notes, listen to what he says the first time, and don't put anything you make in water. Just trust me on the last one.

Dragons lair Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Bob, contact Josh at BigBlu hammers. I have one of their hammers and bought another handle for another. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
