[TheForge] blacksmith question holding hammers

If you spit the chewing gum into your hand before grabbing the hammer, it makes
it more difficult for the hammer to slip out.

It also makes it more difficult to lay the hammer down when done.

Another thing the farrier suggested was chewing gum. He felt the chewing
somehow relaxed the whole body. It sounds weird, but it works for me,
too.
