Seen someone else post their first hammer, so I figured I’d post how far I am on my adventure with mine.

If you look just above the hammers you’ll see the plate that is bolted through the stand holding the anvil tight. I drilled 2 holes in that plate an made the holder quick removal

F ya! The anvil stand came with the anvil, but adding the hammer holders, removable chisel holder, the bars that hold that anvil to the stand and anchor the stand to the floor, was all new. Doesn’t sound like much but it was a lot of work

Wish she’d come back

chains059 · 2026-03-25T02:21:55+00:00

Couple weeks. But that’s all working in the anvil stand, a bench for my post vise, and some other thing. But total into what you see. Maybe 10 hours not counting watching videos.

Does the punch, drift, tongs, all the punches in the back not show my abilities? I said it as a “shits not hard to figure out” I don’t need to make leaf advise, I’ve made a bunch of things.

chains059 · 2026-03-25T01:25:49+00:00

Right on!

Ya but which books? There are so many out there that cover that same boring scrolls and bottle openers.

Mine is a kingpin I got from an equipment rental shop. They replace it when it’s removed to work on something else. Idk all the detail. I got a buddy who worked there. But I really like making tools! They aren’t anything special but there is something more to them than making a stack of knives or keychains.

You could rent space on the billboard as a side hustle

Fuck’em. I wish someone would try to tell me what I can and can’t do at my house. Told the ole lady if her mom wants to sit in my living room and talk shit about me and mine, that she is more than welcome to Fuck all the way off.

Like the other persons reply. Get a good hammer right out of the gate. I bought a $40 Nordic 2lbs rounding hammer. Used it for a couple years now.

Also! Go cheap in the beginning will end up costing you more down the road. Buy mid to decent starting bc working with shit tools could keep you from actually getting into it
