[TheForge] ABANA cook-out

[Robert J Hill]

I am pretty sure it was a 25# Ang-Yang.  I can't remember who was 
selling them.  Nice little hammer though.  I am about 5'9" and it came 
up to my chin.  I have a lot to learn about hand forging so I didn't 
pay much attention.

Charles,

My question was sincere and not meant to be "snarky".
I have not been to an ABANA conference since DePere, and since those 
days, there has always a sharing of highlights and lowlights online 
with those that did not attend.
True, those that were there did discuss well into the night what they 
saw and liked or didn't. Those of us that did not venture out to 
Seattle are only curious, and not demanding.

One question we had was the name of a little but stocky power hammer 
that showed up in the early webcam shots. It stood about chest high as 
best as we could tell.
