Bob55 Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've never seen this type of hammer before and wondered what would it be used for. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmoleaf Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Looks like someone tried to repurpose or kinda fix a broken claw or brick hammer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goods Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Having a good carpenter’s hammer around the house can be quite useful. I’ve never found one the be particularly useful at the forge though, so I don’t collect them like I do other hammers. I have considered buying cheap ones (cost, not quality) to forge weld the claws together to make a handled punch or chisel, but my project list is already too long… David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalfgreen Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thought about hardy but it's too nice looking hammer and handle is very comfortable just going in toolbag. Used today and it found its home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I have a half dozen different claw hammers scattered all over the place. Always one near when I need it, which seems to be often. Old saying, "To a man with a hammer, everything looks like a nail". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Bob55, that looks like it was a top tool of some sort that would have been struck with another hammer. Possibly for dressing an edge, or creating a groove along an edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
