EtownAndrew Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Dave Custer and I made a rounding hammer today for me. My job was to swing the sledge hammer. My postal scale says that the head weighs 2.5 pounds without the handle. It is round on one side and flat on the other for planishing. I am looking forward to trying it out.

Frosty Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 That's a nice weight and Dave is developing a real reputation for his hammers. You're going to love it, nothing moves metal like a rounding/turning hammer. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mudman Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 That looks killer! I just had Dave make me a really nice Cross Peen not long ago. He does fantastic work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Marti Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 The only bad thing about this hammer is it isn't mine! Good work Andrew, Dave makes some sick hammers so stick with him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Very nice. I'm okay with admitting my jealousy. ;) One of these days, I'll have a hammer like that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FieryFurnace Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Thanks guys! Andrew did a real fine job striking and could have handled making a much larger hammer without difficulty. He turned out a very well finished hammer. His is hammer number 47. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camero68 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's a beautiful and useful tool. Like that there are two different sides and it's heavy. I'm sure it will handle the tough jobs around the shop. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
