Thread: A sad case of HAD emerging...

I know that at first glance it looks like this should be in the hones section, but I'm talking hammers here.

I did not even notice it start to gain on me. I had the usual hammers - mauls, club hammers, claw hammers, cross pein hammers, sledge hammers, etc, but then these little fellers began to join in...



Some are just useful for a variety of purposes, one was a serendipitous find - the small welders hammer - and others sort pinning very well.

Of them all, the most satisfying ones are the ones I have adapted - the uglier looking ones - usually with a small thin beak - admirable for collarless pinning.

It was only as I moved workshops that they came out of the woodwork. But, I caught myself looking at a three-hammer ball-pein set the other day, so I must stay on guard.

A small collection to be sure, but it smacks of larger to come...

Regards,
Neil

I get nervous when I see a lot of hammers in one spot. That was ever since Chieffy told me I was as closed up as a bag of hammers. Hate it when people try to sugar coat things.

That "hammer" on the far right looks just like a straight razor!

That is very strange Neil ...... I only have hammers I absolutely cannot do without .........

First up, are old work hammers, carpenter, carpet layer, ironworker and welder ;


These are these are various hammers used for hobby purposes ;


My old tool belt from my ironwork days with my 6LB 'beater'. Drove many a pin with that baby connecting iron. Sold the belt and beater on ebay for $500. Kinda miss it but it set in a closet for 25 years so I figured someone would make use of it and I bought a razor with the $ that I am making use of.

An afterthought .........

Neil, we need to hook up sometime and go get "hammered" You had better watch out because files will be next, then pliers and...

Steel, I was thinking that one looked rather out of place.

I am glad, really, glad and touched that both Steel and yourself noticed that 'one of those things is not like others'!

Don't get me started on files and rasps, BTW - mine are all small ones including flats, square, half rounds, rounds, tapers, needles/rat-tails, but there are a fair few of them, as well as small diamond files. A good file is a friend indeed!
