Other peoples generosity has helped me out recently here

Wizer do you want an offcut of 3/4 inch brass if so how long

 

[wizer]

That's most kind. I was thinking the head should be about 2.5" and me being me I'll need a backup. So 5-6"?

 

[katellwood]

I believe I'm close by, PM me your address and I will drop a piece off

If you catch him in the right/wrong mood he might sell you a tablesaw too :wink:

See, I can kinda see the point in a dedicated plane hammer if you're going to the trouble of using materials to avoid any damage to the planes - but I look at that one and wonder what it is I'm missing?

Cheers, Alf

Actually I think these hammers are intended to be used as mallets for hitting hooped Japanese Chisels. The price staggers tho. I'd suggest they lean rather heavily on the traditional craftsman stories.

Aesthetically, I think they are lovely. This ones particularly hovers my craft:

I think I'd struggle a bit with the idea of paying a lot for a hammer with no handle though...

[wizer]

Why? We're woodworkers. I think I'd prefer it.

 

[Mr Ed]

I'm a builder but if I bought a house I'd expect it to have a roof on.

Thanks Aled, it's beautiful. I love it!

 

[Aled Dafis]

Yes I know, stunning.

As hard as I've tried though, I've been unable to make the "man maths" work out on this one...









Yet!! :twisted: :twisted:

Still working on it though.
