You could devote an entire website to where that hammer travels around.
That would be pretty cool.
Yeah, don't drill into one of those fat crystals. Feldspar weathers faster than quartz, so I imagine you figured it out. Damn crystal might pop out.

Base-
I really do not want too much thread drift here, but where are the references to where we can support Layton? I know I've read a lot of threads. Maybe you could start a new one?
How did the horizontal drill go? Done or working still? Don't know if you remember or not, but before I came to Norman I spent a year or so offshore in the Gulf on NG rigs. 1979? We did a lot of directionals. Wild science.
Peace.

I'm gonna start a Kor thread to keep this seperate. You are right.
You could start a hilarious website with pictures of where the Bridwell hammer visits on its travels.
I would put a metal inlay in it to send it back to you. I have been around too many dropped hammers. Doesn't hurt the hammer, though.

Mike and Munge-
Sent you both an email tonight. Mike's came back undelivered; I think we have a problem with our ISP's. Probably mine. Let's see if we can work this out so you both can meet your objectives.
Mark- thanks for the info on the intrusions. I'll pretend I understood it.

So who is next?
Mucci and I hope to have this done by early January before the raptor closures come in.

I think Mike. is in for fun with the hammer.
But one of the main reasons for this is to raise some fundage for Mr. Bridwell- The Man.
think about it, see what your plans entail, make some fun happen for a good cause.

Johntp, I just saw your note: you're an inspiration - $50 paypaled moments ago. Said this:
"For Bridwell and the idea of a hammer that Johntp is spreading the love on:-)
ps, I don't want to use it or waste the $ in mailing it to me -give it all to Jim, but I do want to know the handle length out of intellectual curiosity."
So, if anyone can measure the handle length, which appears abnormally long in the pics, it would be appreciated, that's all I want out of this. That, and to see you guys having a good time while Jim makes a buck.

This thread reminds me of the surf movie Singlefin Yellow.
Singlefin Yellow
You could make a movie of Jim's hammer. But what would the title be?
PinHammer Jim's.
Bridwell's Hammer.
Tales of the Speechless Hammer.
So what ever happened to the hammer? Did it get sold? Is it in the Yos museum? Is it still out there banging around? This thread had potential, but it seems to have died on the vine.

Mike still has it as far as I know. Length was about 16-17"? The head carried a lot of weight.
