BLACKSMITHING CHAT WITH OLD FRIENDS was:[TheForge] WHAT THE HELL

Sun Jun 23 04:09:01 2002

Ah!!  The light comes on.

  The handle length, size, weight, type of material, head weight...
everything would make up each hammer's "frequency" and definitely
would determine where in it the frequency "centered"...

   This explains some of the things I've noticed from tool tool, in
instances where the tools should have been "the same"... Frequency...
I was once told that everything has a frequency, and everything does.

   Perhaps one could start with a long handle and "tune" it by
shortening a little at a time ?  Perhaps it's the head that determines
where the frequency is centered?  Anyone have a hammer that they don't
care for and would care to experiment with?
