They've joined the Amalgamated Elves, Witches, Warlocks, Gremlins, Dwarves, Gnomes, Kobolds and Trolls, Local 666.

The union's first project will be to ensure that hammer #176 is a very special hammer.

Let's just say that a little birdie has let them know who's been naughty, and who's been nice.

Outstanding!

The "D5" brand is pretty cool. Yes to having it somewhere on the handle. Between the tangs might be nice, but, as someone mentioned, it'd be obscured by tape for some. Which, is fine. Fits nicely there and not a curved surface. Although, I like where you have it above the tool dip. Wonder about on the bottom?

Cheers!

Good job guys! Nice machine shop Theron. I'm sure Joseph can swing a hammer as he has been the main man on anchor replacement up here at Beacon Rock in WA. Earlier this year, he and Bill(Couchmaster) cleaned/inspected a area on Beacon that was the source of a recent large rockfall. Any hammer photos from that adventure?

SWEET. Thanks for all the update.

Go with the branding. Ok, either way.

Good luck this weekend.

Good rivet peening is a real smitty art if you aren't going to exhaust your arm...

Brands are now up by the head.

Well done men!
Theron you've got too many toys!
Great pics and teamwork.
The D5 brand is a grand touch, wherever you place it.

A thing of beauty. It's been a real treat having a peek inside the manufacturing of these.

Thanks again to all involved in the effort.

Doh. Outrageous. I'm sure glad that Theron is a damn good QA guy.
I think that's the Mungehammer. ;-)
