[TheForge] uri hammer

[Woolley]

Also, side issue, the Czech pattern hammer has the side of the wood sanded
down so that the sides are flat.  Other than feeling different, I can't
prove it, but I suspect that the flat sides provide a bit more control than
the oval shape of my standard cross peen.  How do others feel about this?


Grover,
I put friction tape on alot of my handles.  I can definately control a 
hammer with a slimmer (rounded rectangular) shaped handle much better than 
others.  One of the demonstrators at Gichners last year used ice hockey 
sticks for handles.
