tazmig33 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 These tools where made by Ed Brazeal and Mark leonard over the past month. We had made others but where given away. Ed and I have been taking turns mastering and striking. The top swages to me where the funnest because I had never seen them hand forged before. This last month with Ed has been great. We are increasing are tool conllection and having a great time doing it. We made several different size fullers. Set hammers, butcher,1 1/2 top swage,2 top swage,cupping tools,hump tools,punches and the list goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hump tool is radius blocks that surports the hammer or tool when drifting. In some cases the front of your tool is at a different hieght than the striking side so we have many different hieght hump tools Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize for using mastering I was just trying to let you know who was on what side of the anvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On an aside, I live about 9 miles outside of Exeter (but in Devon in the UK) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
