As time goes by and more members come and go...there will be hints for another batch of hammers. I'm not a wagering person but it might be a safe bet that individuals who accomplished the manufacture and distribution of this quantity...will sigh, take a deep breath...and just say, "No, it's not worth it".
Community is a hallmark or perhaps a peculiarity of ST forum. Some forums have more climbing content and many internet forums have less acrimony...I don't fully understand why members, here, are so disposed to contributing, supporting and collaborating with one another...and doing so in an unselfish manner...
Nature and his sushi-fests...Callie, Brassnuts, Fattrad and others with feasts and parties...the members who take time and travel distances to clean Yosemite and add support and presence to memorial services. That's just the beginning of the list.
When friends expend time and effort, make sacrifices and/or take risks for the benefit of the group...sincere gratitude is in order.
Community is a fragile commodity. Niggling and spurius suspicion can strangle it in a powerful way. The D5 hammer project wasn't a mercenary enterprise although cash was certainly necessary. Without the generosity of a few...in time, effort and preliminary funding...it wouldn't have happened.

As soon as my partner gives it back...

Mixed feelings...
Spring trip is now planned for Zodiac. I both want to go nail stuff, but am looking forward to a clean or near clean ascent. So conflicted... Partner also got one, so we may be fighting over the potential nailing pitches.

I have not checked this thread since I got my hammer. Sounds like Shack and minerals need some crybaby soup.
Thanks again Theron, Ed, Healy, IHP.

Guido's gotta sail his boat up to San Luis Obispo, ride a horse to Paso Robles, ride back and catch the trade winds to Hobart. Won't take him more than 12 months!
(all in jest of course)
Thanks for contributing all you did. Wouldn't have happened without your assistance as well.

Pyro, how did you modify it? I have been thinking of trying that out but haven't gotten around to it.

Sadly true, Jeff !
Perhaps a current video...with close ups of your release moves… and highlighting your double somersault dismounts on the high barbi…would be inspiring fare for aspiring west coast tyros.
