Hello, I believe the large hammer that you suggested be used as an anvil (which is a brilliant idea), is a linesmen hammer. It is used to drive anchors and bolt in utility poles. It is also used to test the soundness of a pole by wrapping it on the base of the pole and listening for a hollow sound which would indicate possible rot. Thank you for another excellent video.
Thanks for the great video! I was especially interested in the topic of hammers. Unfortunately, I can not register on your forum. Probably because I am from Russia. I have to get all the useful information from your videos, which I look forward to. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
What a fantastic video. Thank you so much for sharing such fine descriptive detail of your work. As someone who works and creates in sound, I found the practice of "imperfect" hammer faces as a way of "colouring" or imparting a skin onto a work surface so fascinating. There are very similar parallels to the way certain microphones or recording materials will impart imperfection into sound to "colour" a recording, which makes this video all the more engaging. Thanks again for your commitment to your craft!
Telescopes and other magnifying lenses were introduced into Japan by the Portuguese during the late 16th century, circa 1570s. And quite probably even earlier from Korea and China.
If you were ever serious.... I would come and polish your anvils for you... I’d consider the fact someone of your calibur would even entertain an apprentice.. I’d pay to be your slave in the workshop... the education you would receive is priceless..literally priceless
@@FordHallam done... I'll be there monday.... I would honestly scrub copper with blunt files... realign the hairs in your horse hair brush.... anything!!!
Wonderful to get to know your creative space... Thank you very much for sharing it

Thank you for this video. Even though I am not a metal worker there are many idea's here that i can use in my own work.
Does anyone have the link to the forum post about the size and weight of the two hammers at 8:59
everything looks delicious there
I love your video. There is a small request, can you add Chinese subtitles.
so how did they do it before microscopes?

he he, I'd make you scrub copper with blunt files for a couple of months. ;-) To learn the varieties of technique one can apply when using files
