[TheForge] Sledge hammers, again

Right.  That's why I'm inquiring here. =20

But if "shop time" is worth anything from $20 to $60 per hour, that means =
I'd better be able to make at least one 16-lb hammer WITH FIBERGLASS =
HANDLE in two hours to make it worthwhile.  (Home Depot price.)

I'm almost tempted to buy the $500 lot from that Chinese importer.

Yes, but not cheap if you spend several hours, not to mention phone bills
and gas/wear and tear on the car, etc. hunting for them when you might
make them in one or two.

Just a thoguht,
