Default Hammer time..

No where near as fancy as Daniel Houwer's hammer. This hammer was my first victim when I got my airgraver hooked up, as I didn't have any practice plates and I just had to take it for a test drive. Since then, I have ground off the original test cuts and freehanded some scrolls on there with a sharpie. It was very hard to cut, but I heated it up with a torch and since then it was a little easier, although the claw end was still too tough to cut those last couple of scrolls, and shading might never get done.
Comments and critiques always welcomed, thanks for looking,
-Chapi

Hi Chapi,

Thats really great for a testdrive. Way better than mine.
I just love personal tools with something extra.
By the time I am through all of my hammers and other engravable tools I should make "master engraver" Will take about thirty years though.

Thanks for showing!

Daniel
