[TheForge] I'm Famous!!!! sorta...

[Mike Linn]

I guess Im wimpy all the time as  the 800g is my goto hammer. I like the 
center of gravity being way forward. It allows for a much steeper angle of 
attack when trying to move the metal in a particular direction. The lower 
center of gravity reduces the strain on the wrist.

I'd like to have a Hoffi hammer but I aint gonna pay $100 for a 
hammer..  Its not going to improve my work that much... And this French 
Pattern is fairly close with its short face.
