    If all you own is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

    Hammers, um, lead head, shot filled, round face, flat face, crosshatched face, large round with anvil back, 2 lb with polished face, 1 and 2 ounce ball peen – and those are just the basics for simple work in silver. :) Tomorrow, anvils.

    Attention ball peen hammer owners. Our next meeting will discuss how to pull nails without a claw end.

    It’s easy to see why he is so excited!

    Who wouldn’t be, with a hammer collection like that?

    I’ll have to try that numbering method. My personal hammer collection is very disorganized…that can be my New Year’s resolution.

    Thanks Kliban! (Yeah, I know…he’s gone…but not forgotten.)

    Why is number 1 hung backwards? Is that for hitting nails on the opposite wall?

    ossiningaling, no hammer collection is complete without both left-handed and right-handed hammers.

    Also not complete without David Rasche:

    Skedge, maul, mallet, mole-whacker… why, and Harbor Freight Tools is having a special on the battery-powered No. 4 Ball Peens.

    @bmonk

    Theoretically, that’s the way the world is. You start out in this world with the first tool you recognize is one (no, hopefully, not that one). Then, when trying to solve problem after problem, you see that you might need another tool since you aren’t solving enough problems (creating new ones, in fact). If that isn’t the process you are embracing, you don’t get too old.

    It’s actually for hammering using a mirror. Done strictly to impress a female.
