longhunter Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 That is really nice are you using a power hammer? Quote
rsilver4 Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 That is really nice are you using a power hammer? Thank you--I have one of the 2 original tirehammers Stuart Willis and I built using a rough drawing from the fertile mind of Ray Clontz ,I have been using this hammer hard for 8 or more yrs. ..and made quite a few bucks with it and couldn't do without it :o :D Quote
longhunter Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 I know someone who makes the tire hammer it seems to do very well hoping to have one some day Quote
John McPherson Posted March 18, 2012 Posted March 18, 2012 Nice work as always, Butch. And it was eight years ago that Mike M. and I came over to take the measurements for what became "the hammer of the Scots". Time flies. Quote

Montana7 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Butch, Nice to see you posting over here. I'm very familiar with your work, as I bought a couple knives from you way back when (when you first joined) over at the knife forum. I found this site about a month ago & just happened to see your hawk. As always, it's a a great looking hawk & very similar to your self-proclaimed mentor's. Hope all is well at your end. Take care.

Bruce (Mick57) Hi Bruce,thanks for the post,haven't made a knife in a while,like to though,Stuart stays more traditional than me..I like to experiment with the profile and leather work---Take care-Regards Butch Quote
S.Willis Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 Nice one Butch. I was just thinking, after we talked about the tire hammers the other day. Wondered how many hits those hammers have made. Quote

I already have a few, otherwise I would have grabbed one of yours along the way. Never know, I still may at some point. Quote
