Working on it Fatty. Been a long process, but info, handles, and steel prices are finally all coming together...

I sent Lewis McNeal at the handle company four handles out of the box above for him to match or measure at the same time I sent Theron the box above - four should give him a good lock on the measurements minus whatever the affects of siting in a box for 12-13 years might be. Just got this back from him...

Hello Joseph,
I have received the handles and in process of matching them to any current models.

Thanks Bryan - we're back on it, need to get with Theron this week and see where we're at as far as re-approaching the forge. I'm guessing Theron wants some time to look over all the heat treating docs and maybe chat with John about that side of things. But we're getting pretty damn close to launching on it and when we do we'll probably sort out how folks can reserve a hammer. Stay tuned...

That's the upside-down man, nailing like any good wall climber should!!! Or placing a head... even better!

I am currently in the quote process with Ajax. I am looking in to getting the heads in the annealed state rather than semi hard like John was. Going with 4340 steel rather than 4140 also. This might partially solve the drilling problems. More later.

is there any chance that this will happen before summer?
if so, i want one. my a5 is long gone, so i picked up a bd last fall, and it's ok, but i preferred my old one.

Nope. 8-10 week lead time on the heads from forging. Machining time, heat treat, and assembly all take time too. Moving forward but early fall at the best is my estimate. Batch of 250. Hoping for fall wall season.

Edit: I checked out the Moses' hangers and cam hooks at the Mtn. Shop Saturday. They look VERY well made.
