Please, no kicking of sleeping dawgs. The hammer customer service dept, seen here, is on it. Hammers will be sent. Theron has a real job too.
Like to thank the guys who donated hours to putting them together. Joseph fly down there on his own dime to do this.

Anyone who's been with this project long enough to even place an order should know how it's all coming together.
I'll get my hammer when I get it. And I'll be damned pleased. Both for the hammer and for the extra $$ I kicked in for Conrad's school.
I'm not really crowing about my extra contribution, just hope to stir a few more good people to kick in some extra.
Sure I'm looking forward to it. The way I see it, there'll be a BIG surprise at my gate one day soon. I'll be as excited as a 5 year old on Christmas morning.
Well done to Theron, healyje, ihateplastic, the guys who went down there to help out a couple of weeks ago, to all who're buying 'em (even the whiners), to Conrad.
And a huge hug to Theron's wife and kids.
And no, we don't need another thread

I'm all stoked to get my hammer but understand that these homegrown projects take time, and so chills the word. Hope to see more cool products like this in the future. Kudos to the guys who made it happen.
I can hardly wait to go chop Joe Healys bolts at Beacon with mine.
Kidding, kidding Joe. ;)

Who in Hell is Olivia Palermo? That 2/3's chick?
Barf. One needs some meat to survive in the World. Just in case, eh?

And....to add what jsb says, You guys might consider holding a few back in case there are any returns or problems...

+1
Holding back 5-10% of the run for a while against potential problems seems like a good idea even if there weren't problems seen in production. Not to say that I don't have faith in Theron and his crew, but better to err on the side of caution, at least until they've all seen some real-world abuse...

While I agree with the sentiment above about holding back a few "in case of returns" I'd like to point out that I don't think the crew putting this together have an actual obligation to replace a returned hammer. I may be wrong, but I don't see any mention of a warranty anywhere. When I oredered mine I kinda figured it was like the used car salesman says when asked about warranty: "Once you drive it off the lot, if it breaks in half, I guarantee you own both halves."
That said, I kinda suspect the guys running this operation are of pretty high moral fiber and will handle things in a manner that will satisfy most (we've seen already that it's laughable to try to satisfy all).

Agreed. I know for a fact that I'm going to be beating the sh!t out of the thing, and if it breaks, it breaks.
---and then I'll just take it back to REI and get a refund.
