NickOHH Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 While visiting Richard up in Traverse City , we were graciously gifted a hammers he made, can't wait to get back to forging and try em out. The diagonal is about 2# and the strait peen is about 2.5 of damascus no patern just layers but when I get home I'm gonna re polish it up and give it a fresh etch. Thanks again Richard!!

Daswulf Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Ah ok. Heres my goofy hammer stand. I got tired of misplacing my main hammers. Easy grab and go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickOHH Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Hi like that stand may have to steel that idea if I can round up some old rods from work, think we still got best internals from an old mopar 318. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I lucked out and the small diameter on the connecting rods fit the pipe perfectly tight. Just stuff I had laying around. Wheels around too so that's a plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
