docc Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 Docc.. I'm thinking it just may be time for an intervention.. More copper hammers? I'm in! Seriously, I never did build one of those cool leather covered panel mallets. But, found this shingling hatchet head at the son's new house left-over from the last roofing. Just had to restore it, re-handle and Shingling Hatchet Gauge . . . Gave me an education in setting shingle reveal . . .
czakky Posted May 12, 2018 Posted May 12, 2018 If you ever feel a need to test your new hammer and you find yourself in SW Wisconsin. I do owe you a beer or two... 1
docc Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 There is the business of irons and bars . . . hammers included for thread congruity.
docc Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 No wooden stakes! (well . . . maybe here somewhere . . . )
docc Posted July 14, 2018 Posted July 14, 2018 I saw some little "restorers prybars" with the backside faced for striking (smoting?), and faced my set of Lady's Feet. The largest (16") came out with a nice cross-peen weighing in at 494g, seen here with my vintage Gedore 500g machinist's Hammer . . .
pete roper Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Oh dear. Someone posted a pic of a podgy bar! We're doomed! In a desperate attempt to do something to entertain ourselves in retirement Jude and I have been looking for a 'Sport' or 'Passtime' to get involved in. We know loads of people who are in to lawn bowls but they are all dull as ditchwater and as sharp as bags of wet mice so we ran away from that but in Queanbeyan, just up the road, there is a croquet club! Now yer talkin'! They give you a WEAPON, a bloody great hammer! Tops! Pete 2
Chuck Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 Back in the early 50s we played croquet on the front lawn. It was a rather civil game.. but no telling how it's played in Austria.

pete roper Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 I fear that we'd have to go to the bowling club for that, (Shudder!) but unlike 20-25 years ago when all the pubs in Queanbeyan were Friday night bloodhouses and DIY rhinoplasty centres most of them have been very nicely renovated and serve not only good scoff but some decent BWS! All is not lost!
nobleswood Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 BWS ? Beer with a smile ? Please illuminate.
