      That's a common comment on this one. I didn't intend for it to look like tongs/pincers but that's how it turned out. Maybe I've made too many tongs.

    As usual, I didn't know where you were going with this project, and your in-flight corrections to get the piece in your forge were, of course, ultimately incorporated into the piece, which I think is the mark of a real artist. I will remember this one when I have to rethink a project that's already underway. Thanks!

    @TomTalley 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Energy = 1/2 m V^²...so a lighter hammer requires less effort to start swinging as you say, (F=mA)...But once you get it going the energy stored in its motion is by the velocity squared. The energy is what you dump into the receiving metal.
    Great topic about the choice of hammers. Thanks so much for another great video.

    • @gstongs
      @gstongs  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Excellent information. Beyond the physics / science of it, there's a time and place for a lighter hammer - something that so many folks seem to avoid. Thanks for sharing.
