Repousse STYLE hammer

[Sam Salvati]

I was going to make this into a claw hammer but was warned it was fine as is it's a repousse style hammer, let me know so far what you all think.

Looks fine to me. I know armourers that would love that hammer. Sadly they are even poorer than knifemakers.

Looks great! I admire all you hammer makers.

Sweet and stylish.

Sam, that is really fine craftsmanship. I for one enjoy seeing all of the tools that you fabricate.

What's the MAKE stamp for ?

 

[Phil Dwyer]

That is very nice, Sam, but how exactly do you pronounce that? LOL

I've always heard it as rĕp-ō-zāy.

Leave it like it is; it's perfect!

Sam, that's a beautiful hammer.

 

[Sam Salvati]

Thanks everyone!!!!! Gonna find a nice piece of curly maple or such for the handle. Wish I had a stick of amboyna big enough!

Count, the "MAKE" stamp is sort of like, what all knifemakers have in common despite frothing mouth fanatical differences in philosophy and technique, and what we should all remember why we got into this in the first place. Make, just make, make anything, be inspired to make.

[Sam Salvati]
