On the plus side, it looks like their message boards are getting hammered 
by hundreds of people saying that they were injured by flying pieces of 
metal from hammers hitting hammers.  And several people pointed out that 
they probably annealed their hammers rather than hardening them.  Not 
sure, but looks like somebody claimed they also quenched in 'hard water', 
which didn't make the video cut if they did it.  It looks like it will 
probably be revisited.
